Artist of the Week:  First Aid Kit


First Aid Kit is an Americana duo, made up of Swedish sisters, Klara and Johanna Söderberg.  

They released in late January their debut album, The Lion's Roar, which is their first US recorded album.

All tracks on the album were written by Klara and Johanna with honesty, in a folksy/Americana style.

The sisters are only in their late teens and early twenties, but they show maturity in the quality of their songwriting.

Their vocal harmonies are spot on and are synchronized perfectly.

First Aid Kit's sophomore album is a tenderly sweet, poetic album with the kind of song lyrics that captures your attention and makes you digress away from the world, so you can focus all your energy into comprehending, what is being said.

Artist of the Week:  Zoe Muth and The Lost High Rollers


Zoe Muth was raised a rock n' roller, but she's a country and folk singer-songwriter at heart.

Muth was raised in the 1980s in Seattle, Washington, listening to classic rock n' roll artists like the Beatles, Buddy Holly, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen.  

During high school she became infatuated with the field recordings of Alan Lomax and Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music.  

After being introduced to folk and traditional country music she latched on to it and furthered explored artists like Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly and the Carter Family. 

Muth's infatuation grew and grew, until she began to weave elements of traditional country and blues into her own music and lyrics.

Seriously, giver her music a listen and you'll realize that she's a true troubadour!
