Monique Byrne and Andy Rogovin perform moving and inspirational songs that are sometimes joyful, sometimes wistful, and oftentimes, poignant, and that reflect a mutual passion for life, family and humanity. Their intimately blended vocal harmonies are mixed with an expressive and unique instrumental style that is best described as "a banjo-guitar romance." Crowes Pasture's style of intimate and soulful folk transports and connects listeners through universal experiences in their “skillfully crafted, emotional songwriting” (Chris Eastburn, award-winning composer).Crowes Pasture has made waves with two EPs and three full-length albums in just six-years time.  Their CD, "Slow It Down", was released in June 2019 at the legendary Club Passim. Since its release, the title track earned Crowes Pasture a #1 song, and the album debuted at #5 on the Folk Alliance International Charts. Since the release of their first album, "Edge of America," the duo has had eight Top 10 Songs on the Folk Charts, including "Take Back the Red White and Blue" (January 2022), their cover of Mary Gauthier's "Mercy Now" (June 2019), and the timely and topical song, "Quarantine" (January 2021).  Over the past few years, Crowes Pasture has performed at a number of renowned east coast music venues including Club Passim, Shalin Liu Performance Center, Rockwood Music Hall, The Bull Run, and Circle of Friends Coffeehouse and has been a supporting act for The Small Glories and The Kennedys. The duo has been twice honored with nominations as “Roots Act of the Year” by the New England Music Awards (2019 and 2022) and as “Americana Artist of the Year” by the Boston Music Awards (2019). They were named finalists for Best Group/Duo in the 2020 International Acoustic Music Awards, and for Best Group/Duo in the 2021 IAMAs, for their song “A Virtue and a Call”. The duo has toured recently throughout Southern Ontario and Quebec, and is currently recording their third full length album with award-winning producer Eric Lichter of Dirt Floor Studios. The duo takes its name from the salt marsh and tidal flats known as Crowes Pasture, hidden away on the north side of Cape Cod, where the ocean tides recede twice a day to reveal intricate patterns on the shifting sands. This recurring cycle of creation and discovery evokes their own musical journey.https://crowespastureduo.comThanks for listening for more information or to listen to other podcasts or watch YouTube videos click on this link >https://thetroutshow.com/

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother's Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with Mike McKenna, Jr. Singer-songwriter Mike McKenna Jr. has become a rising star on the Canadian music scene; with a raspy, soulful voice, his warm indie folk and Americana tones, and songs laden with captivating storytelling. Born in Glace Bay and raised along the Mira River, Mike's songwriting aesthetic points heavily to his roots growing up in small-town industrial Cape Breton. Over the course of 3 studio albums, he's brought us the nostalgia of his home through carefully chosen narrative, poetry, protest, and true stories about life and death in Nova Scotia's coastal, working-class communities. Mike's newest record At the Edge of the World (2020) continues to be met with incredible support both in Canada and internationally. In just over a year since its release, Mike's sophomore album has received a long list of awards and nominations; WINNER of the Rising Star Recording of the Year by the 2021 East Coast Music Awards (along with nominations for Contemporary Roots Recording of the Year and Fan's Choice Video of the Year), nominee for Contemporary Album of the Year by the 2021 Canadian Folk Music Awards, nominee for Americana/Bluegrass Recording of the Year by the Music Nova Scotia Awards, and nominee for 2020 Album of the Year by Blues and Roots Radio. It was also listed on the Bluegrass Situation's 'Class of 2020 Playlist, Absolute Best of this Year's Roots Music Releases'. Several songs from the record have received high-profile features and recognition, including Spotify Editorial playlists Renegade Folk and Contemporary Folk, Mahogany Sessions' Acoustic Coffeehouse and Chilled Folk Vol. 3, The Bluegrass Situation's 'Mixtape', Americana UK, Exclaim!, Canadian Beats, Roots Music Canada, The East and many more. Two songs from ATEOTW finished as semi-finalists in the world's largest songwriting contest, ISC (International Songwriting Competition); the opening song and title track At the Edge of the World in 2019 and the 7th song of the album, High Ground in 2020! Produced by Victoria's Quinn Bachand (Rosier, Kittel & Co, Brishen), At the Edge of the World delivers a bigger sound than Mike's previous records, lead by his incredibly raw, confident vocals and surrounded by a beautiful mix of electric and pedal-steel guitar, electric bass, vocal harmonies, strings, piano and drums. During post-production it would then pass through the talented hands of Canada's top analog specialists; mixing engineer Jon Anderson (Andy Shauf, Rosier, Foxwarren) and Grammy-nominated mastering engineer, Juno/Polaris winner Philip Shaw Bova (Father John Misty, Feist, Bahamas).

"Il disco - dice Andrea - parla di speranza estrema, paura estrema, perdita estrema, solitudine estrema e immaginazione estrema - desiderare e sperare in un domani migliore. Canto di cambiamenti climatici, violenza e guerra e di tutte le cose per cui penso che bisogna ancora combattere".

È il momento di “Nota sulle note” ventiquattresima puntata del programma musicale settimanale, nel quale annoto per voi piccoli appunti prima di lasciarvi ai brani scelti, che di puntata in puntata andiamo a conoscere. Oggi ci occuperemo del Contemporary Folk Music. Il Folk è un termine di origine inglese usato per indicare un genere musicale che si è sviluppato nella seconda metà del Novecento. La parola deriva dall'anglosassone “Folk Lore”, coniato dall'antiquario inglese William Thoms nel 1846 per descrivere le tradizioni, costumi e superstizioni delle classi non istruite. A partire dalla seconda metà del Novecento molti artisti iniziarono a sviluppare nuove forme di popular music, ispirate alla musica Folk tradizionale, alle quali oggi gli inglesi si riferiscono con il termine di “Contemporary Folk Music”, ovvero musica Folk contemporanea, ovvero non tradizionale. Questa tipologia di musica tradizionale prende piede anche e soprattutto in America. La scena Folk americana in generale è caratterizzata da: strumenti acustici americani ed inglesi, musica Celtica, Blues, musica dei nativi americani e Klezmer (derivato dall'ebraico Kley Zmer: “Strumento musicale”. Gli strumenti tipici sono: chitarra acustica, fisarmonica e armonica a bocca. Ascolteremo: Forever Yung (Bob Dylan), That's not the way it feels(Oparator), Try to remember(Harry Belafonte), Calling me home (The Seekers), Diamonds and rust (Judy Collins e Joan Baez), Against the wind (The Highwayman), Rain falls down in Amsterdam 2001 (Eric Andersen), This land is your land(Bruce Springsteen), True love will never fade(Mark Knopfler), We shall overcome(Pete Seeger), Suzanne(Leonar Choen).

Phil Teumim of Delmar creates art from recycled objects and music by drawing on past traditions and on personal experiences. He describes it as “contemporary folk” or “acoustic Americana” in this week’s podcast. “The songs are the keepers of the stories of the day. They are the compass rose that help us find our way,” say the lyrics to “Old Songs,” which Teumim wrote to benefit the local group that holds concerts, dances, and festivals to keep traditional music alive. Teumim is president of Old Songs Inc. and worked with other musicians to build the organization a home in Voorheesville in what was once a church and later a library. — Photo from www.philibuck.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Raye Zaragoza named her 2020 album, "Woman in Color," because she saw it as "a coloring book, and every song was a like a little bit of me coloring in my story, of my past and my present and my future." "Being a woman of color in America and someone of mixed race, I’ve always felt like identity is something that weighs on me very heavily and something that I really wanted to write about in this record," she said.

Science and spirituality have often been portrayed as opposites or enemies, but for singer-songwriter Peter Mayer, they are intimately connected. His music has been described as spiritual or mystical, but, he said in a recent interview, "If I would think of myself as a mystic, I would also think of myself as a mystic who is very respectful and interested in science."

Chuck drove out to Western Massachusetts to sit on Lisa’s front porch surrounded by chickens, a vocal rooster, two small children having an amazing time doing whatever small children feel like doing, bees and the occasional mouse to talk music, songwriting and Life in the Time of COVID.Lisa’s latest album How We Want To Live is a beautiful record that reflects her many life changes over the past few years.  Her songs are a musical ‘thank you’ to her grandmother who introduced her to the guitar and to songwriting, as well as a message to those in her life. The album reached #1 in Contemporary Folk on Roots Music Report, she was nominated in 2019 for Folk Artist of the Year at the Boston Music Awards and was the 2019 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Winner.Her honest and well crafted songwriting reflect her own personality. Lisa is a calming presence, thoughtful and very in the moment.It was appropriate to be surrounded by the wonderful chaos of life - the joyful sounds of her kids, a crowing rooster and the arrival of the Amazon delivery truck, which she hopes, one day, will deliver ice cream.
