I never knew Philly had such a strong folk scene. Never in my entire life. Sure we got Milkboy and Tin Angel, but I thought that was for national acts.
I’m an idiot.
I promised Christina from As Human that I’d come check out the show at World Cafe, which was a fund raiser for Liveconnections.org, World Cafe’s children’s music program. I went and was EXTREMELY impressed with what I saw.
Check out:
Levee Drivers – Cash, The Boss, and Ray Lamontagne mixed
The Great Unknown – bluegrassy folk with a drummer
Hezekiah Jones – I knew him already but he’s the man so I added him anyway
Sisters 3 – these 3 who are actually sisters would fuck up the Dixie Chicks anyday with their 3-part haromonies
Birdie Busch – fun, folky, bluesy roots tunes
I left the show at 10:45 because I slept 3 hours last night in New York after the Lake Trout show, which was completely badass, especially since I went with my old college housemates. I wish my body had more in me, but I don’t and I need to sleep.
