Super Chikan! True Delta is a snapshot of the blues scene in Clarksdale today, as seen through the lenses of Daniel Cowen and his documentary team.  It asks the question: As the older players pass on, is there a torch to be passed to a younger generation of artists? And what will the blues of the new generation of players sound like, considering a culture that is quite different from that of the older players? "The torch will be passed but it will be a different torch." "A blues man in his eighties grew up in a world that was ...

In the underground venue of central London’s Hospital Club are two bands waiting to perform to an intimate crowd. Two bands with two very different sounds. First up is four-piece band all the way from Massachusetts: Howler. Young, colourful and ready to impress, lead singer Jordan Gatesmith greets the crowd with a friendly, “Hey, how ya doin’?” His turquoise guitar is quite the eye-catcher. The boys leap into their surf trash sound and whip up a frenzy of energy, theatrical lights flashing rhythmically behind them. Their songs are undeniably Strokes-esque, but with a dose of ‘60s California vibes thrown ...

Hey I’m Adam, I’m only 17 but love rocking out whatever chance I get wherever I can, and when I can’t I’m usually at home writing or listening to music. I’m greatly inspired by bands such as The Beatles, City and Colour, Jack Johnson, and Lights. I live in a small town in B.C which [...]

True Delta co-director Daniel Cowen (founder of City University Film Festival) requested that I help spread the word about his new documentary and i'm happy to do so. The more we support efforts like this the better chance the music has to survive. In True Delta , Cowen and his partners concentrate on the delta music scene as it is today, and how it intertwines with " the religious, economic, and cultural life of the Delta region ."  The film features Mr. Johnny Bilington, who's Blues To Schools program works to get a guitar in school kids hands before a crack ...

With over 18 million records sold and a canon of five studio albums, the 36-year old singer/songwriter Jack Johnson has spent more than a decade creating sun-kissed guitar melodies.

While in Australia for Bluesfest 2012, Larry Heath caught up with Eric and Rome from Sublime with Rome for a quick chat about their first visit to our shores and their new record. Have either of you been here before? R: First time. Impressions so far? R: Fuckin’ amazing! No shit we will both eventually stay here. This is incredible, I like this better than Hawaii. So does Jack Johnson - he has a house here. R: Jack even says that? Well that’s brilliant! E: You can drive around your island in Hawaii in an hour man. It’s like ...

Folk music, like that old hoodie you refuse to let go of despite its fading hue and glaring tears, is rather soothing. The genre can bellow with optimism in light of the prescribed pessimism which sometimes resides between notes. Give a listener an opportunity to digest the rather simplistic casing of folk, and one will often find layers of creativity starving to be tasted—or at least that’s what any folk artists is yearning to accomplish). When it comes to Philadelphia pop-folk trio War">Good Old War, reinventing the folk wheel is not as important as perfecting it. With ...

Michael Kiwanuka is a 24-year old singer/songwriter from North London who has links to the same live scene that introduced Laura Marling and Mumford and Sons.

After a couple of listens to debut LP Home Again , it’s easy to understand the buzz and anticipation around him. For Home Again is an assured and consistent album of folk-soul that is marked by warm, honeyed production, evocative arrangements, and a clear commitment to the craft of ...
