Today we share two favourites, but from the same artist.
Joshua James - Crash This Train
Joshua James - Lord, Devil & Him
Joshua James is an American rock and folk musician currently based out of Utah. He is often compared to Bob Dylan, Bright Eyes, Neil Young, or Ray Lamontagne. We love his intimate vocal style and bittersweet lyrics, often dealing with tragedy, religion, and substance abuse. We can hear that his music is laden with passion. Give him a chance.
Sufjan Stevens - For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti
Sufjan has to be one of the most talented artists we have ever seen. He is able to play instruments, write music and sing. He often plays several instruments in the same song, recording them overtop. Though he has explicitly, repeatedly stated an intent to separate his beliefs from his music, Sufjan draws from the bible and other spiritual traditions freely, incorporating spiritual elements into his music often. This really makes his songs meaningful and worth looking into deeper. We like him, do you?
Today we share a favourite. It's a long term favourite.
Kina Grannis - Valentine
Kina Grannis started off as an unknown You Tuber, but has increased in popularity since she started posting, and really how could anyone not love her music? With an amazing voice, and gentle acoustics, she is a true gem and sings straight from her heart. We hope you will follow her on YouTube and keep checking out her music! It's some of the best and you won't want to miss it.
