Two Gallants, one of my favorite duos out of San Francisco, is featured on the They Shoot Music Series with a great rendition of "Despite What You've Been Told." It is, in my opinion, a great Monday morning tune...which makes it perfect of course for Music Mondays. Enjoy:
I just discovered this great music video blog, They Shoot Music-Don't They, which features indie musicians and artists. This particular shoot features the band Seabear and their song "I Sing I Swim," as the group walks through the streets of Vienna.
Randall Kimball certainly has an interesting story to tell. He graduated from the University of California in Berkley and spent a great deal of time at the Keystone Tavern...listening to such greats as John Lee Hooker, Jerry Garcia, and the Kihn Band.
His first album was recorded with 3-time emmy winner Jeff Tassin...on which Kimball played his acoustic handmade Paragon guitars.
He's a one man jam band, and this album is pretty fantastic. Check out one of my favorites, "Soggy Old Town:"

There is nothing better than a simple song sung well, and this week’s artist of the week does just that. An airy voice over laid back acoustics, Phoenix Williams is nothing less than a breath of fresh air.
Born in Blackpool, Lancs, Phoenix was given her first guitar at the age of three and encouraged early on to pursue music. It was clear that she had a natural ear for sound, and by the age of nineteen Phoenix focused her life on songwriting and music composition.
Fast forward to 2008, a break out year for the up and coming singer songwriter. Her album Wait and See was independently released through Deuce Records in September, and has made quite the splash on the indie music scene.
After taking a few months off, Phoenix will be back on the gig circuit in March. Stayed tuned for show announcements, as we’ll be keeping you posted! In the mean time, check out this live version of “Everything’s Good,” recorded at the Sanctuary Cafe in Brighton.
