Nikki, Matt and Eric are Little Daylight. Don’t ask for any other information about the members, because we don’t know and neither does anyone else in the music biz. And the band would like to keep it that way, at least for now. In a world that is so fascinated with celebrity, it’s a bit
It wouldn’t be out of line to assume that you have heard or at least heard of a band called Dum Dum Girls, but what about SISU? Chances are this name may be a little less familiar to you, but band founder Sandra Vu is trying to change all that. The multi-instrumentalist caught her big
Nashville is iconic for the American guitarist it breeds – after decades of pumping out golden icons it appears it is in the city’s blood to put forth the talents of celebrated musicians.

Years ago we were lauding bands like The Felice Brothers and The Avett Brothers as innovative strikers-out from convention and inventors of classically beautiful music.

With Bonnaroo literally around the corner, there are so many awesome new bands that are playing at the extravaganza in deep in the heart of Tennessee. We’re proud to say that a fair share of site alumni are at the event, in fact way too many too list, including multiple featured artists. This week we’re
