In the wake of Paul Mendenhall’s nice, long chat with Joe Walsh, we’ll remind you why there’s reason to reconnect with Joe Walsh in the first place, namely a new album called Analog Man. It’s this week on WTTS New Music Monday, where we’ll also walk through upcoming releases from Shawn Colvin and Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, explore emerging artists like Little Hurricane and Graffiti 6, and wonder why Ed Sheeran looks so much like Ron Weasley…

Every week at 7pm, it’s an hour of all-new world class rock on WTTS New Music Monday.

Brad Holtz is back Sunday for more Overeasy. Another week of laid back World Class Rock includes new ones from Shawn Colvin and World Party, and Counting Crows doing other people’s music. Underwater Sunshine is a full album of covers from the newly-independent band, who plays the Farm Bureau Insurance Lawn July 1st. They also recently recorded a piece with YouTube, which is half performance, half interview.

Sun King Studio 92 performances from Civil Wars and Shawn Mullins, and in the morning edition, a chance for tickets to Punch Brothers. This Sunday, 7-11 AM and PM, it’s WTTS Overeasy.

WTTS Indy Underground – May 7, 2012

greg — Mon, 07 May 2012 16:00:34 +0000

The Head and the Heart have once again set aside time to stop through Indy, scheduling a show at the Opti Park in Broad Ripple June 30th. That makes 3 shows and a Studio 92 set in the last calender year, which gives us plenty of live, exclusive material to store in the vault. This week on WTTS Indy Underground, we’ll pull something out of said vault, playing it side-by-side with new ones from Beach House and Jack White.

Also, The Wailers are coming to Bloomington May 31st. Listen for a shot at tickets. All this and more, tonight at 8 on WTTS Indy Underground.

WTTS New Music Monday – May 7, 2012

greg — Sun, 06 May 2012 16:00:53 +0000

A handful of June 5th releases, this week on WTTS New Music Monday. Shawn Colvin premiers an album and a memoir on that day. All Fall Down features collaborations with Alison Krauss, Jakob Dylan, and Emmylou Harris. It’s entirely possible Diamond in the Rough features those same artists in written form, but we’re not promising anything.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse have gotten back together, collaborating for the first time in about 9 years. Americana, Young’s 34th(!) studio album, is an aptly-titled collection of classic, American folk songs. Look for that June 5th as well.

We’ll also give another look at the latest from Counting Crows, and spend some time with emerging artists Little Hurricane, Graffiti 6, and Michael Kiwanuka. Every week at 7pm, it’s an hour of all-new world class rock on WTTS New Music Monday.
