Folker of the Week: She & Him
Last episode of Eat.Sleep.Folk. was a special women’s edition. It wouldn’t have been a complete without playing my favorite female vocalist Zooey Deschanel.

Can’t wait for their new record, Volume 3, to come out in May.

Local Natives new album, Hummingbird, is one my favorite albums of the year so far. I have not stopped playing the record since its release date and it is still amazing with every listen. This made it easy to select Local Natives as the first Folker of the Week for 2013.

Michael Kiwanuka brings soul and blues to the folk landscape. Kiwanuka was the musical guest on Conan awhile back and caught my attention and I finally got around to checking out his music. Chalk Kiwanuka up to another great musical find in 2012 and the Folker of the Week.
Check out “I’ll Get Along” by Michael Kiwanuka:

Milo Greene is going to get quite popular.
