Punch Brothers – It’s All Part of the Plan

A few weeks ago I asked my Facebook friends for their suggestions for a new video. One from Floris was suggesting a song by Punch Brothers. I checked it on Spotify and accidentally played a different song by them: ‘It’s All Part Of The Plan’, from their latest album called ‘All Ashore’. I guess it…

Madison Cunningham – All At Once

It’s no secret I’ve been a Jay Bellerose fan for years. His playing moves me, no matter how many times I’ve heard it. Every now and then I go to allmusic.com and type in his name to see what new albums he’s playing on. 1,5 years ago I discovered Madison Cunningham’s album ‘Love, Lose, Remember’…

The Tallest Man On Earth – In Little Fires

The Tallest Man On Earth recently (2018) launched his new video project. “I’ve decided to produce, write, direct, record, shoot and edit a series of videos by myself and release them on my YouTube channel as I finish them. Each video features a demo of a new song or a cover that I record live…
