The name Josh Ritter might ring a lot of bells.
He’s been featured on almost every imaginable soundtrack album, as well as various television and movie scores (the unreleased ones), which warrant this 2013 Noisetrade Sampler a deserved listen.
Brooklyn native Rogers, who, if not moonlighting as a vocal buddy to Ingrid Michaelson, is crafting her own magnificent tunes. Her independent efforts date back to 2007, but she’s now going for the kill — nope, not jumping the shark — as she astounds us with this 4-track cover EP.
Melissa Murphy’s singing can be anything but lackluster and tedious. With her versatile and powerful voice, she can reach the highest notes of a ballad and spice up a contemporary song.
Having admitted that she has been an avid writer since early age, her passion is to share what she writes through her songs. Being a singer songwriter, indubitably, all of her songs are very intimate and close to her heart.
You haven’t really heard the “rawest” kind of acoustic music until you hear the Without Feathers.
Composed of Nat Johnson, Emma Kupa, and Rory McVicar, the trio just formed their band last March 2013, yet they bring a musicality that’s so amazingly polished. This is no mystery, since each of them already came from different seasoned bands.

Pop rock has returned to its irresistible form, thanks to Jody Aaron.
An accomplished songwriter, Jody performs some of his own compositions when not busy penning tunes for others. His debut EP Rivers, which he recently released, is one good mixed bag of treats; kudos to Scott Matthews for producing.
With the advent of sensitive singer-songwriter types, the all-important question “Who to follow?” seems harder and harder to answer as the days pass. But, to get you started, let us help you with that: Joni Fatora.
The Connecticut-born songstress is poised to conquer air waves with her debut EP, Blue Road, and our picky ears are pretty much pointing to the positive route. (Yes, Joni’s our girl.)
Lots of new acoustic acts pass by our radars unnoticed, but not Charlie Barclay.
The 22-year-old singer-songwriter is hoping to make his mark in the music scene, and his debut EP The Love You Give is a good attempt on breaking in.
