The Acorn at Union Hall, Brooklyn, May 3, 2008

The Acorn just played a stint of shows in NYC, including the sweet Slope venue, Union Hall, on Saturday, May 3rd. Perhaps its the band’s woodsy name or the fact that they’re from Ottawa, Canada, (which to some New Yorkers seems less like a major city and more the unknown, majestic North), but the […]

Langhorne Slim - ‘Langhorne Slim’

Langhorne Slim might hail from Philly, but his soul is tucked away somewhere in middle America, in the nation’s Breadbasket, under the same pedigreed umbrella of our finest acoustic and harmonica-wielding troubadours that need no mention by name.
