A nostalgic blast from Iain Matthews who sings 15 songs of peace, love and understanding which were performed at Woodstock. It’s fitting that Iain Matthews’ latest version of Matthews Southern Comfort revisits the legendary Woodstock Festival […]

Ed Snodderly & The Shoestring Seven “Chimney Smoke”

July 27, 2023 Alan Fitter 1

A superb album that answers the age-old question ‘What exactly is americana?’ Ed Snodderly is a bit of a Renaissance man as he not only sings, plays guitar and piano and writes songs but he’s also […]

Kenny Shore “Happiness & Misery”

April 22, 2026 0
