December music appreciation highlights from me do not include holiday songs, despite Billie Eilish's appearance on SNL where she sang "Merry Little Christmas." Let's go...
- Olivia Rodrigo @ Tiny Desk 11Dec23 ~ Cool versions for NPR; very strong writer with a keen voice and great backing players. Though, I don't like reference to a "2nd string loser not worth mentioning;" whoever he is... he did get a song written about him.
- Abby Holliday in Studio Live "Slackjaw" 08Dec23 ~ Still releasing smoking guns; love it.
- Caitlin Canter with Will Seeders @ Burnham Hall, VT "Come By The Highway Home" 08Nov23 ~ Many Canter performances are spectacular... thanks Less Than Face.
- Steep Canyon Rangers @ NC Museum of Art "Fare Thee Well, Carolina Gals" 18Aug23 ~ Token male vocals for this month? Nah, but so good; doesn't even feature Steve Martin.
- Brothers Comatose & Rozzi "Let's Get It On" 09Aug23 ~ Great blues voice Rozzi. The Brothers collaborate so well.
- Bella White @ Green Mtn Bluegrass & Roots "The Way I Oughta Go" 25May23 ~ I am a big believer.
- Hawktail @ Sanders Theater "Updraft" 17Mar23 ~ Epic version, even for this awesome band, acoustic quartet of fiddler Brittany Haas, bassist Paul
Kowert, guitarist Jordan Tice, and (Colorado) mandolinist Dominick Leslie. All original works from great musicians with many other solo and team projects like The Punch Brothers & Golden Highway. Less Than Face never falls short.
- Chris Thile & The Punch Brothers @ Orpheum/Boston covering Lightfoot/Rice "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" 17Mar22 ~ Throwback 'cause it's a good cover of a classic with cool musicians.
- AJ Lee & Tuttle Family @ Foothill Community Concert Series "Here In California" 12Mar17 ~ Nice get together from some formative grassers from NorCal.
