Kasey Rogers

I heard about Kasey Rogers because he's played with my pal John Davey. For some reason, John knows how to pick some great musicians to play shows with (other examples: Bro. Stephen, Moor Hound), including Mr. Rogers (bah! I didn't even intend to make that joke). 

Kasey Rogers is of the country-folk variety, but his voice almost sounds as though he should be in a pop-punk band. He sings out his songs with heart-felt energy, to the point where he is at times just belting out the words. It is great folk, but it's also pop-y, in the sense that his tunes have a tendency to put you in a feel good mood. Oh, and the guy plays the banjo. Definitely a plus in my books. 

Check out his video:

And here he is playing with John Davey:

So, there are no free downloads from this guy, but you can purchase his EP on i-Tunes. (Do it!)

The Indiana Boys

It's been a week and a half since my last music post and I've been thinking about what I should share next. I haven't been fixated on any one artist or song this week but have had my music on shuffle lots. So, I have struggled about what I wanted to share.

Then I came across this video posted by John Davey. Maybe I love this video because I now know some of the these guys, but I think that you can appreciate it too. And make sure to watch the whole thing because the end will be worth it.

Boys will always be boys.

These are some of the guys from Indiana (or are connected to the guys from Indiana) in the video worth checking out:
