Nathan Kalish “Songs For Nobody” (Independent, 2020)

April 7, 2020 Steven Rafferty 0
Nathan Kalish is the kind of songwriter that other songwriters love. He’s a road warrior and his travels fill the pipeline of the songwriting cycle. When you combine that with a band that’s turn-on-a-dime tight and […]

Rob Burger “Valley People” – with Iron & Wine

Well, this is that rare thing, a doubly old new song: Valley People originally started life as an instrumental piece that Rob Burger wrote during a break from a demanding touring stretch. The piece began as […]

Interview: Teddy Thompson on change, habit and Never Staying the Same

May 20, 2026 0
There’s something quietly disarming about Teddy Thompson. Across a career that has never quite sat comfortably within genre lines, he’s built a catalogue defined less by reinvention than by a kind of forensic emotional honesty; songs […]
