Jonas Alaska walked in and played four songs: covers of Neil Young’s Powderfinger, Bob Dylan’s Tomorrow Is A Long Time and his own On The Floor and If I Don’t Come Home – 2 songs that will leave you teary-eyed and grateful for everything you’ve got.
Jonas Alaska
His self-titled debut landed him three Spellemann Award nominations – Norway’s version of the Grammys, essentially – and since then Jonas Alaska has released six more albums that people keep circling back to, the kind of records that travel well beyond Norway. People in other countries hear his voice and recognize something, even if they […]

The magic happened as soon as John Smith sat down in front of me, and started playing and singing his song The World Turns and covers of Richard Thompson's Beeswing and Rowland Jon Salley's Killing The Blues at the Mailmen studio in Utrecht.
John Smith
Twenty years in, and John Smith still carries himself like someone who has something to prove. Not to anyone or anything other than to the songs themselves. The British singer, songwriter and guitarist has collaborated with artists like Sarah Jarosz (I’m With Her), The Staves, the Milk Carton Kids, Lisa Hannigan, Patty Griffin, Joan Baez, […]

Something good comes along, then it’s gone: Farewell, Todd Snider.

Joshua Burnside
Life is funny sometimes. When I was planning the sessions at Kilkenny Roots, I reached out and asked if Joshua Burnside would be able to make his way south from Belfast. He wasn’t. But on my way home I noticed he had a show in Utrecht coming up later that same spring. So, the morning […]
