Woke up to “Backwater” by the Meat Puppets this morning. Off of their 1994 album, Too High To Die. Released shortly after their new found mainstream popularity as a result of appearing on [...]

Our favorite Illinois (via Pennsylvania)-based singer-songwriter with a beard is hitting the road once again in support of good, live folk music. (And beards.) William Fitzsimmons is going on tour for the month of July to play some U.S. shows before he heading down to Mexico then over to Europe.

Everything Touches Everything is the third full-length album that this band [...]
