(indie folk group, She & Him)
one artist you should be listening to and five reasons why:
meridith
1. Featuring “indie folkie” M. Ward and actress Zooey Deschanel (remember her from Elf?) the sound has been compared to great 70’s AM Radio with throwbacks to Dusty Springfield and Linda Rondstandt.
2. There’s something very nostalgic, warm and soothing about Zooey Deschanel’s voice.
3. Even though there’s a bit of a twang here and there and it’s not even enough to turn off even my distaste for country music, folk music and the like.
4. Their first album, “Volume One” is a great soundtrack for Spring leading into Summer.
5. I like it and you might too.

Pigeon John
1. His enthusiasm is electric.
2. His songs make you dance.
3. His songs make you laugh.
4. He’s a fool (the good kind)
5. Every once in awhile he pulls out these amazing pearls of wisdom about Jesus.
I *heart* Pigeon John.

To start…good call Meridith…it’s a great album…
Hillsong United
1. The only band I know who has released a 2-disc live album featuring songs from their previous live albums.
2. “Break my heart for what breaks yours” from the song ‘Hosanna’. Song of the year for me last year.
3. They are a breath of fresh air in what was becoming a stale and formula focused worship scene. They don’t fit or conform to the industry model.
4. They play all over the globe with a heart to impact and change the world.
5. Songs. At the end of the day it all comes down to songs and they have some of the best I have heard in a long time.
