Tune In Tuesday: Milo Greene

So, about a week and a half ago, I went to see The Civil Wars in concert.

This was very exciting for me.

But what was more exciting was that I ended up TOTALLY SUPER-DIGGING their opening act, Milo Greene.

I had seen the name on the website when I bought my tickets for the show, but I didn't really take the time to look up who Milo Greene is or what his music sounds like. I figured if he's opening for The Civil Wars, he can't be bad.

Turns out, Milo Greene is a band and not a single person. And it also turns out that they are AWESOME. They all switch instruments and sing prettily and they're all really attractive and sometimes there is a BANJO. Y'all know how I feel about banjos. AND they did a crazy-amazing cover of "Chicago" by Sufjan Stevens and I just about died.

They don't have their music on iTunes (I assume because they don't want to pay Apple the 30% of their profits, which I wouldn't either, so more power to them) and there aren't a ton of YouTube videos yet, but here is what I found:

And, if you visit their website you can hear four of their songs. But pretty much the only place to get all of their stuff is LIVE. Which is sort of genius. They're on tour with The Civil Wars through the end of this year, so if you can get tickets at a show near you, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend it.

Tune In Tuesday: The Civil Wars

So. There's this band that I was recently introduced to. *twirls hair around fingers*

They're called The Civil Wars.

I kind of have a major crush on them.

Like.

MAJOR.

It's a little out of control.

I am not kidding about that. I'm seriously crushing on this band, and I have NO FREAKING IDEA how I hadn't heard of them before now, especially since their debut album came out in FEBRUARY.

I feel so behind. *hangs head in shame*

But I am SO SO SO glad that I've finally been introduced to them.

If you haven't heard of them before today, hopefully you're glad to be introduce to them as well. :)

So damn good, right?! RIGHT.

And they are playing the Newport Folk Festival in late July. WHO WANTS TO GO WITH ME?!
