Mike Mangione & The Kin are a fusion folk and blues outfit rooted by brothers, Mike and Thomas Mangione.

“The song is based out of the classic question of who am I, what am I and where am I going? Roots music has a long tradition in dealing with either running toward or away from light/darkness. This song swims in the same waters.” — Mike Mangione

Here is their latest single, “Riding Down”—an infectious jam inspired by Howling Wolf and other blues legends.

They’re set to release the full album—I’ve Seen the Stars, on October 20th 2017.

Stay tuned.

Peace and love from Santiago, Chile.

When I was a young boy, my mama said to me, “there’s only one girl in the world for you and she probably lives in Tahiti.”

I’d go the whole wide world, go the whole wide world just to find her.

Or maybe she’s in the Bahamas, where the Caribbean Sea is blue, weeping in the tropical moonlit night, because nobody’s talking about you.

Here is “Whole Wide World” by Wreckless Eric.

Peter Adams is an indie musician out of Cincinnati, Ohio.  

He released Queen of the Attic June 16th, 2017. The album took him nearly four years to complete.

He recorded the songs chronologically and let each song lead him to the next in order to imitate a stream of consciousness.

Extensive use was made of material he had previously recorded. Peter Adams essentially created a feedback loop with his past self.

Remarkable.

“We all create dreamlike structures to navigate in fleeting moments of idleness. Maybe in the moment before sleep overcomes you, or as you take a breath and gaze out the window at tree branches moving through the wind. The wandering can sometimes take you down corridors of memories. A hallucinatory building emerges. Some of the rooms look familiar, others are strange. Then, present-tense reality returns and the building fades.” — Peter Adams
