Poking our nose in the country world we found a nice little gem. His name is Nathan Kalish and just released an alt country album. It’s tough to categorize Kalis, but maybe Neil Young and Wilco fans would find solace in his music. Even Kalish admits, “I have a hard time fitting in anywhere. I think I always will”. Scheduled to play 250+ shows in 2018, the latest album was recorded with Dave Beeman (Pokey LaFarge). Moreover, the Nashville based artist made the Rolling Stone ‘10 Country Artists You Need Know‘.

Singer-songwriter Michael Logen pours out his soul in his new single release ‘Sweet Salvation‘. The Nashville based folk artist comments, “It was written and recorded at a piano looking out over the mountains in California with my friends Daniel Ahearn and Lindsey Marcus. The landscape surrounding us when we recorded it found its way into the spaciousness in the production and the lyrics.”
Aside from releasing his own material, Logen is a go-to-guy for other artists. He wrote Kelly Clarkson’s “Breaking Your Own Heart” and you may have heard his track “Couldn’t Ask for a Better Friend” in the Folgers Coffee commercial airing during the winter Olympics.
