Flowers In Your Hair and The Lumineers

The Lumineers are a band to be watching, I think. The have the thoughtfulness of bands like The Head & The Heart and the catchiness of bands like Of Men and Monsters or Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes. Look past the song "Hey Ho" and dig a little bit deeper into their self-titled 2012 CD. There are some nice songs that will bring a smile and maybe even get you to tap your toe.

I wish that I was in a part of the country where access to live music was better, so until then I live vicariously through the internet: YouTube and Second Life help me to hear the new sounds that I would miss out otherwise.

Mumford and Sons - Ghosts that we Knew

Mumford & Sons are so amazing live.



Below is a cover of a Bruce Springsteen song recorded during the Gentlemen of the Road tour on the Mumford & Sons tour bus with guests including Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes.
