Luke Doucet And The White Falcon
Luke Doucet and the White Falcon is a band that takes on a very challenging sound. Some songs feel like you are listening to a "Neil Young" jam. Other songs feel like a "Wilco" or the "Band" sing-a long. A Canadian guitarist whom really takes on the southern rock feeling as many people have tryed. He adds a flavor to it that many people of Northern United States and Canada can feel.
The Kirkland Turn
The Kirkland Turn combine the expressive guitar playing and weathered voice of Daryl Kirkland supported by the idiosyncratic talents of his wife, Katie, who creates an undercurrent of drama with her minimal two-drum set up and haunting trumpet lines. With the stoic presence of Cousin Ian Wallhead on bass, the Kirkland Turn make a music both hushed and psalm-like, shot through with a jagged darkness. Making wonderfully ragged home recordings they release them on their own 'BadJack Recordings' label.
