Hello! Amanda Bocchi here. Today was E2E20 of Appalachian Vibes my guests were Orange Culture, an indie rock band from SW Virginia who discusses the opportunity Covid presented for them, they got the chance to all live together in the bass players basement and record their debut album. They're creative and every change leaves you hungry for more. It's definitely ear candy. https://www.facebook.com/orangecultureofficial/
Ash Devine was featured on S2E2 of Appalachian Vibes, the show wasn't airing on Radio IQ, the NPR member station for SW and Central Virginia, at the time, so I wanted to give the new audience an opportunity to dig into Ms. Devine. She's a transplant from Asheville NC, where she was building a really fulfilling career in music. Then, a global pandemic struck the world and she needed to leave her home in Asheville NC and return to Blacksburg, VA to be among family. She talks about the housing crisis in her song "Dear Landlord". http://www.ashdevine.net/
Young Bull is a Durham, NC based band that fuses hip-hop, soulful church bread vocals, with trip hop and trap beats. Thick harmonies swim around playful themes of love. Like in one of their popular songs "Chocolate" about chocolate women. Solomon Fox plays keys like a mad scientist, he's the producer and a fantastic one in his own right. They claim to be creating the 'North Carolina sound' and I happen to agree with them. As a musician myself, I turn their chord changes and production in my mind over and over trying to understand the path it took for Solomon Fox to reach it. The smoothest transitions into beautiful spoken word like raps by Christian. If you want to taste every color, you need to listen to Young Bull. https://youngbullmusic.com/
