Grateful Web Interview with Alright Alright

Husband and wife Seth and China Kent, better known as Colorado-based duo Alright Alright, have been hard at work creating orchestral-folk for the open-minded and poetry for the broken-hearted with their new album, Crucible. Full of contrast—between Seth and China’s vocal stylings, organic and synthesized instrumental tones, and the very real ups and downs that… Continue reading Grateful Web Interview with Alright Alright

Castlewood, Virginia based 49 Winchester boast a mighty Appalachian sound, steeped in the spirit of country crooners past.

Grateful Web Interview with Andy Hall

I like to refer to Andy Hall as the silver fox of the Infamous Stringdusters. His wisdom shines through with that full head of wisdom whites and as he said, COVID-19 cannot take away music. That’s some wisdom right there. October 16th 2020 he will release his new solo album, 12 Bluegrass Classics for Resophonic… Continue reading Grateful Web Interview with Andy Hall

Grateful Web Interview with Zach Gill

The soothing sounds of Zach Gill can be summed up in one word: Earworm. His new album Cocktail Yoga will paint a picture of 2020 inwardly, instrumentally, and with more than just the muted colors of an impressionist painting. Tracks like Playground in Your Soul answer back to his ALO song Dead Still Dance. The… Continue reading Grateful Web Interview with Zach Gill

Grateful Web Interview with Daniel Donato

If Bob Weir and Waylon Jennings had a love child, it would be Daniel Donato.
