The O’s

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Add The O’s from Dallas to your list of bands playing some kind of bluegrass/roots/pop blend. People in Dallas are excited about the band and their new record We Are The O’s. From several listens to the new tune “You’ve Got Your Heart” I can see why. This duo joins groups like the Avett Brothers, the Felice Brothers and Chatham County Line in blurring the line between bluegrass, folk, pop and something more modern like indie folk.

The band is on the road now and playing SXSW at MOther Egan’s on March 21. Get the new record here.

Here’s a little something funky from Gwil Owen. Gwil’s been in a number of influential band since the early seventies but has also been a successful songwriter for Toni Price, Allison Moore, Kevin Gordon, Keith Richards and Levon Helm.

“Gravy” won’t win any awards for creativity but it’s organ and guitar driven funk and roll will get your Friday night party started right. Gwil Owen’s new record Gravy is available now from Cd Baby here.

Today’s the last day I can remind you about Chicago’s first, only, and best winter music festival – Chicago Bluegrass and Blues Festival or CBGB for short. It’ll be held inside (thank goodness) at the venerable Congress Theater. The lineup is solid peaking with performances by Lil’ Ed, Ha Ha Tonka, and The Avett Brothers.
