Great new music from independent labels and artists all around the world

A largely NYCentric show this week, purely by chance, I promise. Yet another bout of cold weather and snow is sweeping across Suffolk again this week. Nothing like that being seen in Washington DC but unusual for us.   Messin’ with the Kid – Sugar Blue (New York, NY, USA) Sugar Blue grew up listening…

I’m really excited by the selection of fine new tuneage this week. Some great contrasts and representations from a couple of styles that don’t feature too often on Suffolk ‘n’ Cool. But hang on, that’s what SnC is all about isn’t it? Playing the unexpected to revive jaded ears. :)I am. however, getting rather bored…

Music this week from London, Minneapolis, Cairo, Paris, Tiblisi, somewhere else in France, California and Toronto.The world around the barn seems to have become a black and white movie in the past few weeks but at least I didn’t waste money on colour film for this weeks picture taken from the back window of the…

Fine music this week from Nashville, Copenhagen, New York, Norway, Kansas City, Nancy and Paris in France, Hungary and, of course, a couple of artists from Brooklyn. It barely got light here in Suffolk, UK today so I’ll have to resort to another Barcelona picture, much as it pains me 😉 Not that it was…

Fine fine music this week from Utah, Italy, California, London, Sweden, just a hint of New York.Lots of wind this week has finally turned Suffolk autumnal.
