Sit back and slip into Andy Shauf‘s story of “Wendell Walker”, told from the darkness in this video shot from the Drake Underground. One of three murder ballads off his album “The Bearer of Bad News”, Shauf hooks us with his timeless and tender songcraft.

If you don’t know the name Bry Webb by now, you a) probably didn’t know the Constantines well enough to learn the lead-singer’s name, b) didn’t arrive early to Feist‘s recent tour dates to see her opener or c) missed all the praise for his debut solo album Provider (out on Idée Fixe Records). Here’s your opportunity to get acquainted.
Bry recently filmed a Southern Souls session at his home in Guelph, Ontario, featuring an unreleased cover of Burl Ives’ “Sad Man’s Songs” and “Viva” from Provider. The videos mirror the sincerity of the songs; a song strummed during quiet moment at home with Bry’s son Asa playing in the background.
