2012-10-23T11:16:00.001-07:00

Lincoln Theater, Raleigh NC 10/12/2012

A Stone, A Leaf, An Unfound Door by River Whyless

River Whyless, a band out of Asheville N.C. gives such an amazing live show. I got to see the group two Friday nights ago when they opened for The Holy Ghost Tent Revival at the Lincoln Theater here in Raleigh, NC. River Whyless has a folk, bluegrass sound with a little twist of Indie. The vocals are breathtaking from both Ryan O'Keefe and Halli Anderson. Halli also brings a gorgeous fiddle to the scene, an instrument that seems to have been lost with time. The percussive sounds found throughout their latest album shows the band's unique sound and personality. Enjoy, River Whyless.

2012-10-01T21:30:00.002-07:00

When I listen to Lana Del Rey I always get a little scared. Her voice and style reminds me of a classic horror film. Not to mention that stare she's got going on in all of her videos. Shout out to an artist that has her own style and her own way of presenting it. Enjoy, cHill listeners.
