New on The Show
Sam Lewis
“Texas” - best harmonica
playing ever listen out for the bridge…. thought that was rather nice” - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Genre:
Country, Soul
Record
Label: Brash Music
Nashville-based
Country & Soul Artist
Songs like “3/4 Time” and the tender title track are intuitive and organic, the rollicking “Things Will Never Be The Same” groove-powered and irresistible. Produced by The Wood Brothers’ Oliver Wood (Tedeschi Trucks Band, Shemekia Copeland) and featuring a stellar supporting cast of Music City’s finest session musicians, Waiting On You reveals Sam Lewis to be an exceptionally gifted troubadour, forthright, genuine and completely his own.
The
self-described “typical kid with a
guitar, going from Nirvana to Bob Dylan,” Lewis spent much of his youth on
the move, with Asheboro, North Carolina as much a hometown as any. In TN, Lewis
joined a buddy in Knoxville, paying his bills with a paycheck from Walmart
Vision Center. He spent his off time penning his first-ever batch of songs,
playing them out in countless coffee shops. By 2008 Lewis believed he had grown
enough as a performer and an artist to self-release One’s a Long Time, Two’s a
Fly By, an acoustic collection showcasing his gritty baritone and developing
songcraft. A year later he packed his guitar and songs and made the inevitable
move to Nashville.
Nashville
transplant and singer-songwriter Sam Lewis has shared bills with some of the
city’s most respected names, from Marty Stuart to Chris Stapleton to Leon
Russell. His forthcoming sophomore full-length Waiting On You, which follows
his 2012 self-titled debut, reflects those experiences with an all-star cast in
the studio and a sound that’s clearly been honed by experience. Featuring
appearances by The McCrary Sisters, Kenny Vaughan, Darrell Scott and more,
Waiting On You was recorded at Southern Ground Studios in just three days and
produced by The Wood Brothers’ Oliver Wood.
“There’s a tremendous amount of love and
understanding in these recordings,” Lewis said. “My appreciation for the players and their talents on this album
continue to overwhelm me. I couldn’t be more excited to officially set these
songs free out into the universe.”

Finnders & Youngberg (Fy5)
“She Wants To
Eat The Moon” – “I
do particularly like her vocal, Erin Youngberg, it’s the title track and I
think it’s rather good….unusual title but I think it’s great” - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Colorado’s
FY5 - Finnders & Youngberg proudly swim in the deep currents of American
music—classic bluegrass, tried-and-true honky tonk, country swing and
skillfully spun folk tales.
FY5,
also known as Finnders and Youngberg, deliver bluegrass harmonies and
honky-tonk drive with virtuosic picking and fiddling in these epic new American
songs from the Rocky Mountains.
FY5,
made up of five master musicians: Mike Finders (Guitar), Erin Youngberg (Bass),
Aaron Youngberg (Banjo), Rich Zimmerman (Mandolin) & Ryan Drickey (Fiddle).
They have a pioneering spirit when it comes to roots music. Combining the
traditional Appalachian old-time and honky tonk strains of the East with a
spirit of adventure of the West, Eat The Moon showcases a band with a newfound
maturity and purpose.
Bluegrass harmonies meld with virtuosic picking and fiddling. Rooted in tradition, yet at the same time pointing to new creative directions, Eat The Moon is an excellent Americana album....Overall, EAT THE MOON, is a great roots album. It’s fresh and different. The musicianship on this record is absolutely superb! I preferred the tracks where Erin Youngberg had lead vocals, but Mark Finders’ vocals are nothing to scoff at, I merely enjoyed those songs more. If you’re looking for an enjoyable roots/bluegrass/Americana album, you definitely need to take a listen to this one! (For The Country Record -Review)

its calmer waters as the band breeze into the album. The sweet title song
displays all that’s good here, deft guitar picking, rippling mandolin and
plucky fiddling all ensconced in a warm and honeyed pedal steel weft.
Reminiscent of the likes of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band circa American Dream it
marries a pop sensibility with a rootsy feel and is tailor-made for airplay (Folk Radio UK)
Eat
the Moon was reviewed in the October 2015 issue of Country Music People and was awarded 4 STARS by Spencer Leigh

“My Pain Ain’t
News” – “Back
with new album, a staggering 32 tracks…this one’s my pick I just think it’s a
brilliant song..I thought that was really great” - Marie
Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
I'm
a person who likes commercial Nashville country, but when I set out to write
it, sometimes things get "interesting." Nashville country gets
tangled up with NJ, NYC and Brooklyn sensibilities and neuroses, taking the
music in strange new directions.
Hometown: Born in NYC. Grew up in a small town in New
Jersey right over the bridge. Both of her parents taught in Manhattan, and
that’s where they went on weekends to make life more interesting.
Current
Town: She lives in Nashville, Tennessee. Had tenure at a community college on
Long Island; she taught there while living in Brooklyn and then in Manhattan.
She's
a songwriter, as well as a playwright. She put out her first CD: called
BROOKLYN COWGIRL. she shared "to show I get the joke, I’m an unlikely
person to be doing country music".
2015,
ten years later, she finally released the sequel, with pictures from the same
photo shoot and all, called THE BROOKLYN COWGIRL RIDES AGAIN.
With
a one-year sabbatical she wound up running away from home to Nashville, and not
going back. She gave up tenure, she explained "This seemed like a dubious
move during the Recession, when I was unemployed and underemployed. At the
moment, I’m teaching at Vanderbilt full-time and I’m very happy. Nashville is a
great town for songwriters – it can be more isolating for playwrights,
however"…Read More
The
new album was made album of the week on Cool Country on Manx

It
was reviewed in the October 2015 issue of Country Music People and was awarded
