Hurray For The Riff Raff just released their latest, Small Town Heroes, on ATO. Really good Cajun Sound. I saw them at the Mojo BBQ, two or three years ago and have always been impressed.
The New Orleans-based folk-blues and southern gothic Americana band is led by singer-songwriter and banjo player Alynda Lee Segarra. Small Town Heroes, this is their major label debut on ATO Records.

Robert Ellis is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from Nashville, Tennessee. His third studio album, The Lights from the Chemical Plant, was released last February 2014 via New West Records.
Songs on his set included a covered Richard Thompson’s “Teared Stained Letter”.
The Magic Numbers are from West London, consists of two pairs of siblings (Angela & Sean Gannon and Michele & Romeo Stodart).
The band have a fourth studio album coming out this year. Their last studio release was The Runaway in 2010, which W♥M brought you exclusive interview with Angela.
New highlight “Roy Orbison”, “Forever Lost” was second, which was a smart play. They also covered Skeeter Davis’ “The End Of The World”. Amazing harmonies…
They have been gone from the US too long. Recognition is an issue.
