The birthday festival continues in New Bern, North Carolina with a long time favorite and friend Jeremy Squires. I found him when his Central Nervous Station EP came out back in 2013 and have since been a big fan of his beautiful and haunting folk songs. The first song of his that I ever loved is called A Warm Glow and Jeremy Squires was kind enough to send a live version of that particular song. Watch it below and stay tuned. There will also be an encore later during this anniversary week.
Our next destination on this birthday party is Dallas, Texas. Songwriter Vanessa Peters has been releasing wonderful albums and songs for decade and a half. Her latest album Foxhole Prayers was one of my personal favorites of 2018. It’s a powerful and inspiring folk rock album that tackles important issues. An album that has a good heart. Therefore I’m proud to share a live version of album cut Trolls on this event. You’ll find the studio version of this song and the whole great back catalogue from her Bandcamp page.

The first Finnish songwriter of day 3 is someone who has been on this blog pretty much throughout the whole 18 years. The formerly Joensuu and currently Helsinki-based songsmith Ville Härkönen has previously led bands such as Maryland, Ville Härkönen & Velvet, Samettivallankumous, Piilomaa and Sonik. Nowadays he is making solo material as V. Härkönen and during the first half of 2019 he released a couple of singles on Soit Se Silti. His choice for this festival is the latest single Ilman karttaa.

The day 3 of the anniversary festival starts in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with a profoundly moving performance by Guy Capecelatro III and Jocelyn MacKenzie. I’m grateful for his kind words, because I have the utmost respect for him. I love his own records and the work he does with the Burst & Bloom Records. Plus I just really like his taste in music and will listen anything he recommends. I’m honored to share this powerful new Guy Capecelatro III song With Me. There’s so much hurt here, but there’s also unlimited love and gratitude of the moments spent together shining in each word and each note. I think this one is unreleased at this point, but you’ll find a lot of his recorded catalogue from the Burst & Bloom Records.
