Hold me close while sun drips like sap through our veins

Slowly coursing despite the pressure of planetary strains

The earth spins the clocks tick the ceiling fan ignores

~Blown Asunder, Driftwood Fire

Mixing singer-songwriter, jazz and Appalachian flavors into their sound, Driftwood Fire (Lynn Scharf, Charlotte Formichella and Jennifer "JJ" Jones) has been compared to artists like Vienna Teng,
Cowboy Junkies, The Ditty Bops and Gillian Welch. But their name alone evokes the feeling of their music - a late and quiet night on the beach with friends, a slight chill on your back off the waves, and barefoot toes toasty in the sand around a fire where everyone takes turns passing a guitar and sharing their stories. They'll be in Des Moines Oct 3.

Tune in Tuesday at 9am to hear from the band! read more »

She's getting there
Past the point of just surviving
She's getting there
Beginning to feel alive again
She's getting there

- Carrie Rowan, She's Getting There

Singer-songwriter Carrie Rowan spent a good ten years climbing the corporate ladder before she decided to leap off. Lucky for her, (and for us!) she landed on her piano bench, and soon picked up the guitar as well. Carrie's debut album, Almost Home is set to release June 28th and we were fortunate to get an advance copy AND an interview for this Tuesday at 9:15!

Tune in at 9am for the full hour of Lyrical Venus-y goodness!
