We’ve reached the home stretch of the 2019 year in music, and a number of our favorite artists new and old are finishing with a strong kick. We feature a bunch of them here in our November Podcast Picks, including Nashville powerhouse Ashley McBryde, who recently was named New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards.

One of our favorite new discoveries of 2019 is Chicago’s David Quinn, who we saw for the first time back in March opening for Mike and the Moonpies. Quinn delivers a traditional honky tonk sound on his debut record Wanderin’ Fool, and live his band takes it up a notch for a rowdy, rockin’ good time.

We kick off our podcast picks with Quinn’s song “Long Time Gone,” featured on the recently released 25th anniversary compilation from insurgent country leaders Bloodshot Records. It’s a traditional honky tonk shuffle with prominent pedal steel and dirty lead guitar that blends perfectly with Quinn’s easy-going lead vocal.

Quinn has enjoyed a terrific year with a steady stream of gigs opening for some of strongest country artists out there. We expect to hear a lot more from this talented performer in the coming years.

We also share tunes from some of best country and roots records of this year, including songs from Paul Cauthen, Cat Clyde, JP Harris, Orville Peck, Cody Johnson. There also is a number from the new Vetiver record, out now on Mama Bird Recording Co., and a new song from Bart Budwig from a record due soon on Fluff & Gravy Records.

And be sure to scroll down to check out a video for the song “Cold Civil War” from our longtime pal Matt Woods. It’s designed to get you in the mood for Thanksgiving dinner with the relatives, whatever be their personal and political beliefs. Nice work, Matt!

It’s all right here folks, so grab a fork and knife and dig in. It’s our November Podcast picks — here’s the playlist:

Welcome back for our second installment of podcast picks, aimed at getting your ears ready for the 2018 Wildwood MusicFest & Campout, set for July 20-22 at Roshambo Art Farm in the beautiful Willamina/Sheridan area of Oregon.

With the festival just days away, we thought we’d kick off this session with The Resolectrics, Portland’s powerhouse R&B-tinged rock trio with a set scheduled for Saturday afternoon at the festival. This will be the band’s second performance at Wildwood, and this year’s set comes with the promise of a new album due in the fall.

Knowing the rollicking fun this band inspires, they’re an easy “must see” pick for our podcast team. Based in the classic rock and soul of the 60s and 70s, The Resolectrics take it to new heights by mixing in some psychedelic guitar and killer harmonies for a sound that’s all their own.

And they’re just one reason why this year’s festival is a can’t-miss for lovers of music from all over the spectrum. Check out the live performance of “Easier To Go” from the group Five Letter Word (video below), the classic country of “Weight of The World” by Western Centuries, and the wonderful, exploring horns on “Aynotche Terebu” by Tezeta Band. High quality stuff in a variety of styles — that’s what Wildwood is all about.

So give this latest set of picks a listen and put a check next to your “can’t miss” picks for the festival. We’ll see you down there.

It’s our favorite time of the year, when the summer season of music festivals hits its peak, and the gang from That Much Further West Podcast couldn’t be more stoked to be attending the 7th Annual Wildwood MusicFest & Campout, July 20-22 at Roshambo Art Farm in beautiful Sheridan, Oregon, USA.

The podcast team has been onsite every year, and our show hosts Mike Lee and Eric Kotila have served as festival Masters of Ceremonies from the start. We’re thrilled to be invited back by the two wonderful local businesswomen who make the festival happen, Katie Kendall and Kim Hamblin.

Sarah Shook and her band, The Disarmers, will rock your world at the 7th Annual Wildwood MusicFest & Campout.

Lovers of music and their local Willamina/Sheridan community, these two women — with the help of a fabulous team of volunteers — have captained a completely home grown festival with absolutely zero corporate sponsorship. Katie and Kim have put together some stellar line-ups over the years and kept that family-friendly atmosphere alive and well.

They also work hard to showcase local businesses as vendors and give back to the community. The festival has grown over the years but the founders seek to keep it from growing too big. A big shout out to Kim, Katie, their families, Dina Sayers and her team at Great Northwest Productions, and the scores of volunteers who make things run smoothly.

In the run up to this year’s festival, That Much Further West Podcast has put together a batch of preview playlists to give y’all a primer for the music to be featured at the 7th Annual Wildwood MusicFest $ Campout.
