New Music Monday - Americana Crossover Style

Today's #NewMusicMonday features a pair of a pair of Americana artists traveling down new sonic roadways, broadening their reach and the impact of their music. First up we have guitar virtuoso Molly Tuttle with a cover of The National's "Fake Empire". The video features Tuttle playing against a project backdrop of psychedelic imagery and protest videos. In this way, she turns up the heat on the post-ironic torpor of the original and transforms the song into a subtly searing critique of apathy. Tuttle, the first woman awarded Guitar Player of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association, won back-to-back awards in 2017 and 2018. "Fake Empire" is the lead single from …but I’d rather be with you, an album of covers she recorded in quarantine. The album is out via Compass Records on August 28. Next up we have indie folk artist Becca Mancari . Besides her intricate solo work, Mancari is known for her role in folk trio Bermuda Triangle with Alabama

Friday Night Videos - Dee Holt, Sam Himself, and Bestfriend

Today's #FridayNightVideos post features an international trio of newcomers to MMS. First we have 19 year-old Montreal bedroom pop singer dee holt . The singer-songwriter, who's balancing a burgeoning music career with university art and animation studies, does her own single and album artwork while directing and animating her own videos. Her quirky, densely-layered style of bedroom pop will be familiar to fans of Billie Eilish. "Better" is Ramones-like in its economy, clocking in at a taut 2:02. RANGE has named her to their Class of 2023, an honor bestowed on up and coming Canadian artists, and TeenVogue has deemed her "one to watch". I predict this will be a busy year for her. Next up we have Sam Himself , the Swiss-born, New York-based indie rocker. A self-described "Fondue Western" singer, a nod to his origin and his soaring, romanticized lyrics, Sam lives at the intersection of gravelly indie rockers like We Are Augustines and Neo-Western act
