Live Video of the Day: Mike and the Moonpies – Might Be Wrong (Live On The Texas Music Scene))

Mike and the Moonpies along with Micky and the Motorcars are two of the best Country acts working the Honky Tonk scene today. They both are great live acts with dirt country Roots Rock sensibilities along with solid songwriting.

Video of the Day: Futurebirds – Teamwork

Teamwork, the newly released record from Athens, Ga. based Futurebirds is well worth your ear-time and is already announcing itself as a worthy entrant on anyone end of the year list.  Their blend of Country-tinged Roots Rock and three-part harmonies are partly laid back chill listens and part psychedelic head-trip slices of escapism.

Video of the Day: Ashley McBryde – Martha Divine

Ashley McBryde certainly stands out from the current crop of Nashville artists. Much less glossy and a lot more tattoo-centric than her contemporaries she has a bit more grit than one would expect. We’re not sure if “Martha Dive,” her latest song and video, is the first murder ballad of the year or not. Check it out and let your own eyes and ears be the judge.
