Folk and Acoustic Music - TransAtlantic Acoustic Show from Indieheart.com

Yike! That little break from the show lasted a lot longer than it should! Sam and I (that would be Jill Nojack) are now back with a new episode of the show that is stuffed to bursting with an extra dose of acoustic tunes for your listening pleasure. I'd natter on about how fab the artists in the show are, but why not just listen to the show and check out the artist pages at your leisure by clicking the artist name in the playlist? In this episode's playlist - Lee Rogers - "Ida" from "Drawing Clocks". (Available on iTunes with other options on Lee's page at IndieHeart). Bella Ruse - "Dark Horse" from the CD "Bella Ruse". (Available on iTunes with other options (including a free download of "Silent Night" also available (just click the artist name to visit their page!) Aaron Berg - "Waiting for a Woman" from the CD "Songs for Madame X". Grab it on iTunes or from Aaron's prefered MP3 provider from his artist page. Dan Tindall - "Kill The Machine" from the rather redundant "Kill The Machine"! Lots of options including fabulous free downloads are available on Dan's artist page. Or just pick it up from iTunes. Debbie Miller - Tippy Toe from the CD "Fake Love". Download the tune for free from Debbie's page at IndieHeart or (better yet) grab the CD from iTunes. The Sea Kings - "Villages" from the self-referencing EP "The Sea Kings", now available on iTunes. Tom McKean and The Emperors - "Gazing at the Dying Of the Light". The CD is not yet available (watch this space - it will be do-not-miss musical event when it does become available!) but you can get yourself two of their other songs on iTunes and hear a few more from the upcoming CD on their artist page.

>Finally, the TransAtlantic Acoustic show demonstrates some signs of life, after a long hiatus. Are you ready for this much acoustic goodness after we spent such a long time away? Obviously, we're hoping the answer is yes! This show includes tunes from repeat show guests Zia Hassan, Lizzie Nunnery, and Thornton Creek along with some fantastic artist who are new to the show this time. We hope that you will like Star Anna, My Light Sweet Fire, and Sonic Bridge as much as we do.

We've got some terrific piano-backed music this time from talented chanteuse Lori Diamond (Massachussets) and TA Show favorite Ross Crean (Chicago). If you're saying to yourselves, "well, what happened to all that glorious guitar?", no need to worry - guitarist/composer Christopher Martin Hansen (California) will supply it in spades. Additional artists on the show include new kids Kesang Marstrand (New York) and Tom Bolton (Australia). Starting out the show,we have a second song from Will Derryberry (California), who you will certain remember having heard on the show before! Full playlist with links to the artist pages for more free streaming or downloadable music available at http://indieheart.com/podcasts.php.

We've been away for a while, but we are finally back with some terrific music from old and new friends, including Don Bodin (US), Dan Tindall (Northern Ireland), Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand (US), Carly and Mark (Canada), Plunkett (Italy), and Ray Woodruff (US). At this point, we expect to be able to bring you a new episode of the show every two months or so, although we have some interesting plans at IndieHeart.com to give you other ways to get your acoustic music fix easily and without the silly chatter that Sam and I are inclined to! Until then, you're stuck with the show, and with the quality of music we've got - we don't think it will disappoint!

Sam is finally back where he belongs this show! In additional to our usual mindless rambling, we manage to bring you some excellent acoustic music from around the world. This episode of the TransAtlantic Acoustic Show brings you music from the US, UK, Belgium, and the Philippines. Artists debuting on the show this week include David Ullman, armor, and Plasticsoul. Returning artists include The Shutters, Ceili Moss, and and David Elias. Enjoy!

New episodes of the show return this week with a special treat (or a special torture, depending on how you look at it.) Our fabulous Sam will be intermittently unavailable for hosting duties on the show due to a full and exiting life which takes up a great deal of time. However, the amusing and loquacious Peter Dahl Collins (drummer, bass player, and producer of the British Industrial Pop band crashtv) has been kind enough to step in for co-hosting duties. Not surprisingly, despite temporary hosting changes, we bring you the usual fabulous acoustic fare with a worldwide roster of talented artists. Artists debuting on the show this week include the lovely and talented Lizzie Nunnery (UK), and Moby.MK.II (Pakistan). We also have a selection from Toronto's The James Clark Institute from the new CD, Sideshow Unattraction, and nice cuts from Paul Liddell (UK) and Alex Stangl (Canada).

This encore episode of the show takes us way back to our first show broadcast from IndieHeart.com. When the site started, we were able to con many of the magnificent artists that Sam and I had been playing for the two years we had been DJing independently into one fine beginning show from the site. This show presents some of our all-time personal favorites, including David Elias, Midnight Sweethearts, Anne Davis, Dan Tindall, Wry Dawn, and Ross Crean. I can't think of a single show that better respresents the music that we love and hope that you will love, too.

Our first encore episode during the IndieHeart staff hiatus reaches all the way back to November of 2006 for some terrrifica music by Guy Michetti, Ady Ferguson, Thornton Creek, Tim Tibbitts, Adrienne Pierce, and the Peter Roy Project. We think the music speaks for itself. Then again, that never stopped us from prattling on a bit, did it? We haven't changed much in two years, it seems.

It's been a long time since our last show, and we hope that you have all been waiting breathlessly to hear the music we have in store for you! We mix it up genre and location-wise this week with show favorites Dan Tindall (Northern Ireland), David Elias (Hawaii), Ross Crean (Chicago) and Christopher Martin Hanson (San Francisco). Then, we throw in new IndieHeart.com favorites Ceili Moss (Belgium), and Our Funeral Forgotten (Colorado) for what we think is a terrific worth waiting for. David Elias brings us a new live tune with some hot sax, Ross Crean gives us another from his latest celtic CD, Blackwater, and Our Funeral Forgotten demonstrates that even the roughest rockers need to take it back to the basics every so often.

The show runs the gamut this time (as it often does) from a very traditional Russian Hurdy Gurdy tune performed by Andrey Vinogradov to the extremely contemporary (and really only marginally acoustic, we must admit) song from Australia's Ginja Roe. Melvern Taylor makes his second utterly fabulous appearance on the show this week, because we can't get enough of his music (who could, really?). Will Derryberry, hailing from California, leads off with his debut appearance on the show. We predict Will may soon be too big for us, so make sure you take a listen on the show while you can! The show also includes Wil Maring's pretty country-flavored folk and the usual exceptional fare from Canadian composer/musician, Marc Descoteaux.
