Public Access TV - End Of An Era YTV

October is here and I have been a slight bit absent of late mainly due to work commitments. What better way to enjoy the start of Autumn than cracking on with the long awaited debut from Public Access TV, and more specifically this track End Of An Era. Jangly guitar straight out of the metaphorical gate that is guaranteed to get your hips swayin' and feet tappin' if you are that way inclined. Plus the addition of catchy lyrics in the verse and chorus make for quite the addictive track that is part of an equally addictive album. Enjoy!

Strand Of Oaks - NPR YTV

23/06/15 YouTube Video

NPR have pulled another brilliant session out of the bag inviting Strand Of Oaks to play for their Tiny Desk Concert feature. I watch most of the Tiny Desks that they release and there has been good ones fairly regularly but nothing has been as good as this session in a long time.

Through the session he plays 3 tracks: Goshen 97, Plymouth and JM. Starting with Goshen 97, it shows the vocal capabilities of Timothy Showalter and I was pleasantly surprised at the range he could produce. With Plymouth he moved from a Telecaster to play what looks like a Fender Telecoustic (funny little instrument) with a gorgeous effect added through a pedal that I have rarely if never heard before in such a stand alone way and I am so envious his guitar playing. JM is the 7 minute belter that closes the set and it is one of a select few tracks that doesn't have me reaching for my phone by half way through, he just has a way of keeping me captivated throughout. Extremely talented guy. Enjoy!
