Johnny Nicholas doesn’t get many headlines, but he is arguably one of the most important roots artists over the past five decades.

Yet, we could […]

Chris Smither fans fondly recall the 24-song 2014 release Still on the Levee, billed as a ‘retrospective’ even though it was filled with plenty of new songs.

Natives, Nik Frost and Grant Conway birthed this tangerine slice of novel, tripped-out folk-hop to counteract the anxiety-filled hours of our new normal.
