Our next LCM featured band have gone back to their roots with their first studio album in more than a decade. 'Blue & Lonesome' is the result and it's a thing of beauty. Bluesy, rootsy and a whole lot of rock & roll from one of the UK's premier bands The Rolling Stones. 'Hate To See You Go' is one of the great lead single and it really reminds us of John Lee Hooker.

We stay in the US and head for 'Music City' for our next LCM featured artist Jamie Kent. How would we describe Jamie's music "A little bit country, a little bit soul, a lotta rock and roll". Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay is the very catchy and timely "All American Mutt" the title track from Jamie's new album released in October.
Named by RollingStone.com as an "Artist You Need To Know", and dubbed a "rising country star" by Fox & Friends, one might say the future of Jamie Kent looks quite promising. Drawing on influences from modern country rock artists like Jason Isbell and Will Hoge, as well as paying tribute to classic greats like Bob Dylan and Tom Petty, Jamie's perfectly mellifluous tunes are roll-the-windows-down, soak-up-some-sun kind of good.
Jamie has no fear of hard work, playing over 200 shows a year including tours with Huey Lewis & The News, The Doobie Bros, America, Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Marc Broussard, and multiple showcases at the South By Southwest Music Festival. Jamie is supported by The Collective, an amazing grassroots group of fans who help advise and fund his career in exchange for access to exclusive music, merchandise, and vote in the major decisions he makes. He's officially endorsed by Durango Boots, Gibson Guitars, BOSE and Telefunken Microphones, and his brand new album "All American Mutt", just debuted at #16 on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart. Landing in between Luke Bryan and Dolly Parton, Kent was the only independent artist to break into the Top 20.

For of next LCM featured band we travel to Austin, Texas and showcase a new trio which have recently signed to Big Machine Records. This great trio Jess Carson, Cameron Duddy and Mark Wystrach are called Midland Country and they have released their self titled debut EP at the end of October. It's well worth a listen if you haven't already. Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay is a live acoustic version of ' Drinkin' Problem' their lead single. We love the retro 'Laurel Canyon' country sound and harmonies, which reminds us of the Eagles and CSNY.
With all the chest-thumping going on in Nashville today, where bluster and swagger have replaced heart and soul, you half expect some of country music's male stars to be sporting bruises. Which is what makes Midland, a trio of friends based in Dripping Springs, Texas, so undeniably refreshing. Made up of singer Mark Wystrach, lead guitarist Jess Carson and bass player Cameron Duddy, Midland is the embodiment of Seventies California country, all smooth Eagles harmonies and heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics.
Their songs are intoxicating country sung with the twang of George Strait. And it's impossible to resist. Midland — the guys took their name from a Dwight Yoakam song — excel in setting a mood, transporting the listener to another place and time. This is music made for wide-open skies, endless deserts and wondering where the road is going to take you next. "We write with a very visual storytelling approach. We paint that big picture and go to that place," says Mark. "Where is this story going? Let's paint it." It's no coincidence then that it was in an especially scenic setting where the band first came together — at Cameron's wedding in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. There, casual friends Cameron and Jess formed a musical and personal bond while picking songs together on Jess's cabin's front porch. The connection was only strengthened when they found themselves jamming with Cameron onstage later that week at his rehearsal dinner. "It was this serendipitous chain of events," says Mark, an Arizona native. "And it was the best week ever." "All of us playing together happened only because Mark and I both showed up in Jackson Hole a week before the wedding with time to kill," adds Jess, originally from the Pacific Northwest. "But, by the end, we knew the three of us had amazing chemistry," says Mark. Armed with the newly married Cameron's nest egg, Mark, Jess and the California-raised Cameron decamped for the Sonic Ranch studio, near El Paso, Texas. They cut 15 songs and, bolstered by the outcome, realized they had a unique sound. "When we went to the Sonic Ranch, we became a band. We walked away believing in what had happened," says Mark. "All of our souls, our imaginations, were wrapped up in these 15 songs. We went all-in." "And then we all moved out to Texas," says Cameron with his gregarious laugh.
Now signed to Big Machine Records, Midland is in the studio refining and expanding their catalog with ace songwriters like Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne. The sessions have yielded some of the most traditional-sounding country music to come out of Nashville in a decade. Lead single "Drinkin’ Problem" evokes Gary Stewart — one of Midland's biggest inspirations, along with Merle Haggard — as Mark croons, "They call it a problem, I call it a solution / just sitting here with all my grand illusions." "It's talking about something that's real, but it's told in a way that it can be tongue-in-cheek, depending on how the audience experiences it," says Mark. Adds Cameron, "Every good country song has that versatility. But the best are the ones you can listen to when you're angry, sad, happy or however you may be feeling." "Electric Rodeo," with its plaintive piano, sweeping strings and high-in-the-saddle chorus, is a prime example of the "picture" the band so often talks about creating. And the majestic "Nothin' New Under the Neon" sounds like vintage Eddie Rabbit.
Whether they intended it or not, Midland have filled a void in country music, and soon they can do likewise on country radio. Like their inspirations the Eagles, they are writing and recording songs with mass appeal. "The commonality with the Eagles is that we set out to make soulful, catchy and accessible music," says Mark. "Our greatest compliment is when somebody who says they're not a country music fan says they really like our songs." But those songs succeed because of one key ingredient: the friendship of Mark, Jess and Cameron. To a number, they each agree it's their secret formula. "Midland isn't manufactured," says Cameron. "We are three real friends who stumbled upon making music together." "We are a band," adds Jess, declaratively. "That's a big part of the spirit of what we do, that group experience and camaraderie. And it is ever-evolving." Midland's music is truly a sound decades in the making that’s just right for today.

Already drawing comparisons to the Dixie Chicks, our LCM featured artists today are a great new Nashville based trio Runaway June. With some very sweet harmonies Naomi Cooke, Hannah Mullholland and Jennifer Wayne are already making waves in Music City. Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay is their debut single 'Lipstick' released in May. https://youtu.be/wAV5rwkxVR8
There’s a sound that hasn’t been heard on country radio in quite some time – the sound of organic, three-part female harmonies, ringing strings and stories that speak the language of modern women everywhere. Rotsy, brightly colored and mixing bluegrass tradition with dusty desert cool, Runaway June is comprised of three very different women who fuse their own influences to create a style country fans have been craving.
Lead singer and guitarist Naomi Cooke grew up in Florida enchanted with the other-worldly vocals of Alison Krauss, then made her way to a stage in Nashville’s world-famous Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge.
Singer and mandolin picker Hannah Mulholland was raised in Malibu, California, a nature-loving hippie chick who latched on to the liberating messages of Sheryl Crow and began writing her own music at 6 years old.
Singer/guitarist Jennifer Wayne, another California native, is a Garth Brooks lover so dedicated to country music she gave up a pro tennis career to write songs in Nashville (like Eric Paslay’s “She Don’t Love You”), and happens to be the granddaughter of Hollywood legend John Wayne.
Each of these talented young ladies were unsurprisingly Dixie Chicks fans, and each could have been a solo artist in her own right. But after forming a friendship and discovering their shared love for acoustic soul, soaring vocals and do-it-yourself positivity, Runaway June was born – a name that nods to their common bonds. Both Jennifer’s grandmother and one of Naomi’s sisters are named June, and Hannah completed a life-changing 25-day, 220-mile hike in the month of June. Plus, they all felt pulled to “run away” from their homes and toward their dreams.
Part of the Wheelhouse Records imprint of BBR Music Group, the first thing listeners will notice is the trio’s obvious musical connection and their stunning three-part harmonies, natural and effortless in feel.

Our next LCM featured artist is an award-winning London based singer-songwriter who has enjoyed huge success in the last four years. Ed Sheeran also created his own record label and this bluesy cover of 'Make It Rain' was originally written by his second signing Northern Irish singer-songwriter Foy Vance. The track was used for the US TV series 'Sons Of Anarchy'.
Ed Sheeran's recording of the song was used in an episode in season 7 of the television series. Ed was an avid fan of the music for the series and mentioned it in a tweet. When the show's creator (Kurt Sutter) read the tweet, he proposed that Ed record a song for one of the episodes. As Ed was touring with Foy Vance at the time, and as one of Vance's songs (Make It Rain) started with the lyrics "When the sins of my father / Weigh down in my soul", Ed thought it was appropriate for the series and with Foy's approval, Ed recorded the song to be used in the episode "Red Rose" broadcast on December 2, 2014.
We have been big fans of our next LCM featured artist for a while now, so we were delighted to find out that she is releasing her brand new album 'A Bit Of Blue' at St. Pancras Old Church on the 24th February (which is also Independent Music Day). A classically-trained multi-instrumentalist, Emily Maguire is truly “a talent to be reckoned with” (R2 Magazine), her strong, crafted and relevant lyrics, supremely expressive vocals and stunning live performances winning her fans across the globe. Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay is her thought provoking new single 'For Free'
Living for four years in a shack on a farm in Australia where she made goats cheese to finance her first two albums, Emily returned to the UK in 2007 and toured extensively with some of the world’s greatest singer-songwriters, including Eric Bibb and American legend Don McLean. Her third album ‘Believer’, released in 2009, received regular airplay on Radio 2 and won rave reviews in the music press, Maverick Magazine hailing it “a masterpiece”.
Emily's much-anticipated fourth album, ‘Bird Inside A Cage’, followed in 2013. With its release funded entirely by her fans, ‘Bird Inside A Cage’ was a bold departure from her previous recordings, while still retaining all the underlying trademarks of her emotive, lyric-rich songs.
As an advocate for mental health, Emily speaks frequently in the media about combating the stigma of mental illness. She has been featured several times on Radio 4 including Woman’s Hour, Loose Ends and Midweek, where she was interviewed by Libby Purves talking about her book ‘Start Over Again’.
After 2 years out of action, Emily is now back with a new book ‘Notes From The North Pole’ and a new album ‘A Bit of Blue’, produced by Nigel Butler, which follows a dark time in her life and is a hauntingly beautiful testament to the human spirit.
Our next LCM artist is a very successful award winning singer-songwriter and producer from Dublin Imelda May, who is probably best known for her fusion of rockabilly, blues, jazz, pop and soul. Our LCM #TrackOfTheDayand her new single 'Call Me' is a new departure from her regular type of music. We think it's a very heartfelt, soulful and personal song with lovely hints of americana, which really showcases Imelda's pure vocals.

We are heading back to Nashville for our next LCM featured band the dynamic Country rockers The Cadillac Three. Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, the trio of singer-guitarist Jaren Johnston, lap-steel player Kelby Ray and drummer Neil Mason are brothers in "hell yeah!" spirit and in music. They are effortlessly cool, as real as they come and arguably the most vital addition to the country-music landscape this decade. Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay is a little something to get the blood pumping, the great "Drunk Like You' taken from their brand new album 'Bury Me In My Boots' released in August.
Recently signed to Big Machine Records, these guys could be ones to watch in 2017. The Cadillac Three have toured relentlessly in the U.K., where they've garnered a rabid fan base, opened U.S. tours for Eric Church and Dierks Bentley and are currently on the road with Florida Georgia Line. While their debut album 'Tennessee Mojo' record broke ground for the group with its rebellious swamp-rock vibe, 'Bury Me in My Boots' finds The Cadillac Three writing, recording and performing at a more assured, bolder level. It is the sound of a band fully aware of its power, one ready to decimate arenas.

We are big fans of our next featured artist Sarah Darling here at LCM, so we were thrilled to see that Sarah recently performed at an 'Under The Apple Tree' session for Whisperingbobtv. Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay is a stunning live version of the beautiful 'Halley's Comet' taken from her new album 'Dream Country' (review coming shortly) .
Sarah is co-headlining with Jenn Bostic at the Green Note in May and after the last gig there, it's one that you really don't want to miss.

It's always a great pleasure to showcase great singer-songwriters and our next LCM featured artist London based Allman Brown is no exception. I first met Allman probably about three years ago playing a set at The Harrison curated by Sophie Jamieson. Since then he has gone from strength to strength releasing some excellent music including one of his big hits 'Sons and Daughters'. Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay is a beautiful live version of 'Rivers' recorded at one of our spiritual homes St.Pancras Old Church and featuring the very talented Robyn Sherwell.
Allman has just released his new single Palms, which is also well worth checking out if you haven't already. Allman will be releasing his debut album '1000 Years' on the 10th February with a London date at the Camden Assembly on the 8th March.

We always like an album release gig and our next LCM Showcase artist US singer-songwriter Sean McConnelll is releasing his self titled new one at The Garage on Friday (2nd December). Sean was born in Massachusetts to two folk singers who played in local venues in the Boston area. His family moved to Georgia when he was eleven years old, and while there he began playing guitar and writing his own songs. Sean attended Middle Tennessee State University in Nashville, where he performed regionally and continued songwriting. Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay is the catchy and sage 'Bottom Of The Sea' taken from his new album.
Sean released his debut album on his own label in 2000, when he was just 15 years old and went on to self-issue five more full-lengths and three EPs between 2003 and 2014. Concomitantly with this, Sean entered into a publishing deal with Warner-Chappell, writing songs for artists such as Meat Loaf, Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Buddy Miller, David Nail, Rascal Flatts, Jason Castro, Scotty McCreery, Jimmy Wayne, Phil Stacey, Brothers Osborne, Plain White T's, Eli Young Band and Brad Paisley, as well as for the television show Nashville.
Sean releases under his own name, including the 2009 album 'Saints, Thieves, Liars', drew the attention of the Texas red dirt music scene while he was still living in Nashville. Sean wrote songs for, and performed on the albums of, Texas musicians Wade Bowen and the Randy Rogers Band and opened for Bowen on a nationwide tour.
Sean signed with Rounder Records in 2016, and a self-titled album (the first not released on his own imprint) was released in July. The album was produced by Ian Fitchuk and Jason Lehning.
For our LCM featured artist today we head to Nashville for a big hit from Blake Shelton. It's taken from Blake's tenth album "If I'm Honest".Very clever lyrics in this one. This just might be a song about Miranda ;)
We are taking a trip today to one of my favourite parts of the world British Columbia, Canada for our next LCM featured artist the multi-award winning Country singer-songwriter Madeline Merlo. Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay is a beautiful live and unplugged version of her big hit 'War Paint'.
For Canadian country music darling Madeline Merlo, 2016 is shaping up to be a big year. Following a 2015 CCMA Award win for 'Rising Star of the Year', Madeline was nominated for Female Artist of the Year in 2016 and offered a much-coveted, in-show performance slot at the 2016 CCMA Awards in London, Ontario.
Driving-playlist essential, her new single “War Paint” was the #1 Most Added single on Canadian Country Radio for the week of June 29th. “Whatcha Wanna Do About It” made CMT’s Top 20 Country Music Chart, and Sirius XM’s #OnTheHorizon List, played nationwide in the USA, it’s a toe-tapping follow-up to last summer’s catchy “Honey Jack,” which received widespread airplay and attracted both country-and pop-music lovers alike.
After the success of “Honey Jack,” Madeline opened for country royalty Keith Urban and went on to scoop up 2015’s Rising Star award at the Canadian Country Music Association Awards and Female Vocalist of the Year at the British Columbia Country Music Association Awards. Then she rounded out 2015 touring with heavyweights Dean Brody and Paul Brandt.
This summer sees Madeline, who was recently selected by Spotify for their “Spotlight on 2016” artists to watch, taking Canada by storm to perform at major country music festivals across the country, including Rocking River Country Music Festival, B.C. and Boots and Hearts, Ont. If you’re not in the foot-stomping crowds, you can catch Madeline in her acting debut in the upcoming country musical film Country Crush, inspired by the Nashville scene, out this summer. She plays aspiring singer Nancy Taylor who falls in love in her quest for stardom, alongside Jana Kramer and Sophie Tweed-Simmons. This is her first lead role in a movie, although she has previously worked with award-winning director John ‘JP’ Poliquin on the immensely popular “Alive” music video.
Madeline signed with RGK Entertainment and Open Road Recordings at 18. After several trips to Nashville her first single, “Sinking Like A Stone”, was added by JRFM in Vancouver, winning the Hot Country Challenge. The word began to spread and her journey began.
Madeline Merlo has always had eclectic taste, and in her music you’ll hear the influence of classic country of artists like Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline, R&B greats Etta James and Billie Holiday and modern superstars such as Miranda Lambert. She has contributed to Sparkle: An Inspirational Handbook for Young Girls, which features interviews with female artists, entrepreneurs and public figures in British Columbia. She’s also performed for the Canadian Armed Forces as part of Team Canada, a small group of Canadian ambassadors from the sports, music and entertainment industries visiting Sicily, Italy, and an operations base in Kuwait.
Closer to home Merlo is a champion of local artisans and is passionate about promoting new designers. She’s an ambassador for 'Wear Your Label', a conscious clothing line that creates conversations about mental health. Her boho, free-spirited style as unique as her sound.

Our next LCM showcase duo are releasing their brand new 'Tide Takes Him' EP at a sold out gig at The Harrison tonight. The multi talented London based Blanche Ellis and Maya McCourt are better known as Various Guises. Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay is a lovely live version of 'Green' taken from a Spiritual Session.
Various Guises are the London-based expandable duo of Maya McCourt & Blanche Ellis on cello and guitar (with some acapella vocals and a little washboard thrown in for good measure). Formed late one night around a bonfire in Brockley the girls have been stomping and swaying all over town ever since. Playing original music, influenced by Blanche’s love of old New Orleans songs and Appalachian tunes and Maya’s love of English and European traditional music, the girls close-knit harmonies weave a sense of timeless folk.
The duo are now living up to their name, extending their dark and dreamy aesthetic into artwork and other areas of performance, weaving art, music, writing and an element of the theatrical into their Various Guises. Expect to see more collaborations, exhibitions, original artwork and live-art performances emerging from this these two very talented ladies.
Our LCM featured artists today are the new Sussex based duo of Jo Beth Young and Martyn Barker better known as Talitha Rise. We have chosen as our LCM #TrackOfTheDay their sublime debut single 'Invisible Fishing'. We are really looking forward to hearing more from this very talented duo.
Talitha Rise write songs of undeniable emotional depth and beauty. At times, more akin to a musical landscape than a song, their tracks journey hypnotically through evocative worlds of heart-breaking hope and the rawness of life's deeper realities with a somewhat ethereal mystique.
Whether recorded or live, the combined alchemy of Jo Beth Young and Martyn Barker grab the listener from the first few notes and plunges them into the deep with a combination of diverse and haunting vocals, melodic journeys and beautiful instrumentations that makes you wonder where on earth you have been for the last 30 minutes.
It is hard to pin down what genre or influence is behind them: hints of Psychedelia, Art Pop, Progressive Folk, and World Music all shine through but above all they have done something rare in today's musical world....they have created a new one.

For our next LCM featured artist we head to Provo, Utah the home of young Country singer-songwriter Maddie Wilson. Maddie has just released her beautifully written, personal new single and our LCM #TrackOfTheDay 'Love Like Theirs' written for her parents anniversary.
Maddie Wilson’s soulful country-crossover style wins new fans wherever she performs, whether a high-energy live concert or a one-of-a-kind music video. After just a song or two, you’ll understand why the Nashville Songwriters Association International recently named Maddie “one to watch.”
From the beginning, Maddie’s talents have turned heads. Two of the tracks from Maddie’s 2012 self-titled EP hit number one on the Indie Country Charts and Maddie was named the #1 international indie artist that year by CMG Global Radio. In 2014, Maddie won “Best Artist Under 18” at the Utah Music Awards, an especially meaningful honor since she hails from Provo.
Maddie’s 2015 release, “Lightning Strikes,” mixed her distinctly country sensibility with elements of alternative rock, pop and soul. Like her debut EP, the album includes only tracks Maddie wrote or co-wrote. The album’s breakout single “Echo” earned her a place as a finalist in the 2015 USA Songwriting competition. Her writing talents also earned her a place as a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition.
An experienced live performer, Maddie has shared the stage with artists including Chris Young, Lonestar, Imagine Dragons, Danielle Bradbery and Lindsey Stirling. She has also created a thriving online fan base through her YouTube channel, where she is known for covers of pop music with a country flair, and her warm and active social media presence. You may have heard Maddie’s music on Spotify, Pandora, satellite and traditional radio, or in a television appearance.

We have something a little bit special from our next LCM featured artists, who are releasing their debut single at the Green Note tomorrow. The Beatrix Players are a London based dark prog classical pop and indie folk trio from Staffordshire, Melbourne & Madrid. Their members Amy Birks, Jess Kennedy & Amanda Alvarez are all very talented in their own right. Jess many of you will know is also one half of Swallow & the Wolf. Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay is the brand new single 'Lady of The Lake' taken from their debut album 'Magnified'. The new song comes complete with a wonderful animated video by Chloe Rodham. It has a real Kate Bush vibe. We can't can't wait to listen to the rest of the new album.
Like stepping into a dark fairy tale -experience the subtly unnerving, passionately moving music of the Beatrix Players. This all female trio combine dramatic piano, strong cello and heady vocals, using dark melodies to tell their stories of real life and fantasy. Influenced by a love of film scores and classical composition, the three experiment with different styles of acoustic folk and pop to create music not for the faint hearted.
Beatrix Players invite you to immerse yourself in their world, be it only for a few minutes at a time.
