Now Playing: Whitney – “No Matter Where We Go”

7 Jun

Been slacking on my music posts of late but hopefully I still have some time to redeem myself and I’m starting with “No Matter Where We Go” from Whitney. The Chicago band formed by Max Kakacek after his last band, Smith Westerns, broke up just released their debut album, Light Upon The Lake, on June 3 and it’s a gem. Hope you like it as much as I do. And if you see Whitney coming to a venue or festival near you, do yourself a favor and go see them live!

Now Playing: The Avett Brothers – “Ain’t No Man”

15 May

SXSW 2016 was the first time I heard this and was instantly hooked on it. Not only do I believe this will be The Avett Brother’s highest charting song but “Aint’ No Man” is just that damn good (and so is the new album) that you’re going to be hooked immediately. And that bass line!! Their new album, True Sadness, is out June 24.
