Paul Otteson – Robin Red

No Comments

Paul Otteson is a folk singer-songwriter from Wisconsin and he will release a new album Robin Red on 30th of may. I’m looking forward to it, because I found the previous one February Fables few months back and really enjoyed it. The recent Lazy Jane Sessions introduced three captivating folk songs from the upcoming album. They are all pretty amazing. I’ve been especially addicted to the song entitled One Heart To Prove. This song and the entire new Joe Pug album are my biggest music obsessions at the moment.

Gudrid Hansdottir & Hi-Lo & In Between on tour

No Comments

Gudrid Hansdottir is a Faroe Islands based folk singer-songwriter and she is currently touring with the great Finnish folk group Hi-Lo & In Between. Unfortunately I somehow managed to live under the impression that this tour won’t start until next week. Most likely because the Turku concert at Bar Kuka (which I’m gonna attend myself) takes place next thursday 10.05.2012. Therefore I’m a bit late with this information, because the first date(s) are already behind. Anyway, check out the rest of the dates tour, because this might end up being something pretty special. If you are still hesitating, check out these two magical videos below.

Hockey break is over (+ Joe Pug)

No Comments

Sorry for the long break. I didn’t plan it, but hockey addiction took its toll. Quite frankly I was more worried about Sami Vatanen’s ankle than this little blog. But JYP won the title for the second time, so it was definitely worth all the excitement and anxiety. Of course there’s still the NHL Playoffs and the Kummola Hockey Games and I probably end up watching them more than I should. Thankfully those are far less important and I can focus on other things as well. So blog should be back up and running with new updates starting tonight or tomorrow. Now I’m listening to the new Joe Pug album The Great Despiser. It’s fantastic and definitely the new album of the month.
