Tanya Godsey

Tanya Godsey made a new video for her beautiful song "You Make Everything Beautiful". This song features on her last album "Telling Time".

I'm planning to give some improvement to the blog during the summer. I'll keep you updated about that when things will become a bit more concrete. For that, I've also started to list emails for each artists featured here (Well I've tried because some are missing), and I've realized that some artists are now in a band or have changed their names ... So I thought a small recap about all the changing happened during the year could be usefull.

Roo & The Howl

Bekah Wagner is now known under the name Roo & The Howl.

"The word “roo” derives itself from the old english word for “quiet”, which when combined with “howl” provides a startlingly accurate description of Bekah Wagner, the Colorado songstress behind Roo & The Howl. Presently putting the finishing touches on the material for her debut album (due out early 2014), Roo’s music brings together sorrow and beauty in the best traditions of indie, folk and Americana."
