I just caught the lineup for the 2012 3 Rivers Arts Fest in Pittsburgh, and it's a very good one. Kathleen Edwards, the Wailers, and Bruce Hornsby are solid scores. There's not as much indie rock as I'd prefer, but Dawes on June 5 is a nice addition. And there's a bluegrass day! Bluegrass is perhaps the most underrated genre of music. Of course, all the shows are free, so you can't go wrong

We weren’t remotely familiar with Megan Reilly until first hearing ‘Sew The Theads Into Your Heart’ and falling for it pretty much straight away. That means we can’t do anything like tell you where this album might sit alongside the two records that preceded it, nor if any discernible difference in her sound has developed in the six years since 2006′s Let Your Ghost Go. What we can tell you is that if you, like me, have a weakness for a gorgeous female twang and some country-flavoured alternative indie, Megan Reilly might just be your gal. Working ...
