Suggest new bands to listen to

Black Joe Lewis

agree on john butler trio and the cd. very nice music and i do not understand why they are not more well known.

Check out New Monsoon, Tea Leaf Green, and The Jim Weider Band. These are jam bands, similar to Umphrey's. Also, all of these bands have a TON of shows avaialble for FREE at The Live Music Archive. Pay special attention to the Soundboard (SBD) shows and the 24 bit shows - they sound as good as most commercial releases.

Here's some links:

The Head and the Heart

I have thoroughly enjoyed the 2 recent albums that The Acorn have put out-- Glory Hope Mountain and No Ghost. Sounds just right somehow every time I put them on.

The new Iron and Wine-Kiss Each Other Clean is quite good if you haven't heard it--definitely a departure but a lot of fun to listen to and it has a couple of real catchy tunes on it.
