Suggest new bands to listen to


I love hearing new bands.
I have some suggestions..

Umphries McGee.. jam band from Chicago.
Great players, they mix acoustic and electric.
Try to check out LIve At The Murat.
It is a long CD and each song blends into the next.
Great guitar work.

John Butler Trio

They are from Austrailia.
Very elcectic.
I suggest Sunrise Over Sea.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the 2 recent albums that The Acorn have put out-- Glory Hope Mountain and No Ghost. Sounds just right somehow every time I put them on.

The new Iron and Wine-Kiss Each Other Clean is quite good if you haven't heard it--definitely a departure but a lot of fun to listen to and it has a couple of real catchy tunes on it.
not new, but
brian jonestown massacre
apples in stereo
beirut
sufjan stevens
band of bees (aka the bees) --- best band you've never heard...just buy all their releases NOW, and thank me later

jam band: my morning jacket (it still moves--great record)
mumford & sons
felice brothers
avett brothers
great big sea
alberta crossing
johnny flynn
rural alberta advantage
phosporescent
ray lamontagne

to name a few I'vebeen listening lately
Check out New Monsoon, Tea Leaf Green, and The Jim Weider Band. These are jam bands, similar to Umphrey's. Also, all of these bands have a TON of shows avaialble for FREE at The Live Music Archive. Pay special attention to the Soundboard (SBD) shows and the 24 bit shows - they sound as good as most commercial releases.
