WTTS New Music Monday – May 21, 2012

greg — Sun, 20 May 2012 16:00:06 +0000

We move on to the summer releases, this week on WTTS New Music Monday. Alanis Morissette and a reunited Neil Young and Crazy Horse headline the group, with albums planned for August and June, respectively.

Before that, we’ll take a look at Garbage’s Not Your Kind of People (just barely a week old) and give one final preview of the decidedly Americana-sounding Shadow Days from John Mayer.

Train and Jack White round out the lineup. Every week at 7pm, it’s an hour of all-new world class rock on WTTS New Music Monday.

WTTS OverEasy, May 20, 2012

greg — Sat, 19 May 2012 12:00:30 +0000

Laid back World Class Rock abounds Sunday on WTTS Overeasy. We’ll play new music from Shawn Colvin, Cassandra Wilson, and Michael Kiwanuka, along with some of our favorite recent Sun King Studio 92 performances, as is our custom.

Father John Misty will also be featured. You may not think you know him, but you also may be surprised. The former drummer from Fleet Foxes has released 7 full-lengths and a handful of EP’s under J. Tillman (the J is for Joshua). This is just the first under the new moniker.

In what has been a frequent occurrence as of late, Brad Holtz will yet again be giving away tickets to Punch Brothers, June 6th at the Palladium in Carmel. This Sunday, 7-11 AM and PM, it’s WTTS Overeasy.

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…
