Hello everyone.
New songs, check it out.
We added Front Country, Sam Bush, Bryan Sutton, Mary Gauthier, and The Way Down Wanderers to the playlist this Saturday morning. Respectively, their songs are "Sake of the Sound,"
"Play By Your Own Rules," "Chase The Moon," "Mercy Now," and "Heading North."
The breakdown of the awesomtastic songs is below.
"Sake of the Sound"
By Front Country
This song will likely give you goosebumps. At first it draws you in, as powerfully as the smell of coffee in the morning. We suspect it has something to do with the rhythm... it's mesmerizing. The vocals are powerful and awesome. The words are all too appropriate. It's all about "the sound" and quite literally you'll love this song for "the sound." It's a bit ridiculous actually, how much the words of this song are just reflecting exactly what you're feeling while listening.
"Play By Your Own Rules"
By Sam Bush
Great folk feel to this song; it's old, authentic, and bursting with life. Sam Bush is a legendary mandolin player in bluegrass circles. This is a song about making your own decisions and your own rules for how your life should go. We hope to possibly make it to Merle Fest, where he'll be playing this summer.
"Chase The Moon"
By Bryan Sutton
This is a great pairing with the previous Sam Bush song. Similar frantic, upbeat, running through the cornfields, feel. The song is actually sort of about that, the feeling that you can't stop chasing something. In this case, the thing they're chasing is a love they can't get. Must be maddening cuz this song just doesn't want to stop once you press play.
"Mercy Now"
By Mary Gauthier
The pace of our playlist goes way down, once this song starts playing. Mary is so relaxing to listen to; her voice is intimate and soulfully honest. This is such a sad song, about people she loves, people who are in trouble, people who carry tremendous stress, and who really could use some kindness and help. We like Mary and her compassionate sad song... it's really great music, check her out.
"Heading North"
By The Way Down Wanderers
We had to flip a coin on which Way Down Wanderers song we would use for the playlist this week, we were both so passionate about their songs. You will love their stuff too. This song's about traveling up North to be with someone whom they love and about their journey it takes to get there. There's lots to like about this song. If you're interested in hearing more check out the song Dead Birds; there is some really fun string instrumentals to listen to in that song.

The Weekly Neville's Quarter Acoustic Breakdown Update - March 3rd, 2018
It's a new month and we're feelin' good this Saturday listening to these chill songs we have found for you all today.
We added Caitlin Washburn, Mary Rocap, Sara Watkins, Anna Tivel, and Mt. Joy to the playlist today. Respectively, their songs are "Words of Love," "A Fickle Wind," "Long Hot Summer Days," "Riverside Hotel," and "Jenny Jenkins." The breakdown of the songs is below.
"Words of Love"
By Caitlin Washburn
If Bob Dylan had a better voice and was female, we think you'd get someone like Caitlin Washburn. With Bob's friends, the harmonica and guitar, Caitlin tells some great stories and shares some feelings that will surely resonate with you. She's a local of Carborro, North Carolina, and we happen to be playing with her on March 12th at the Cave! We are super excited to hear her live and hope you will join us.
"A Fickle Wind"
By Mary Rocap
This song has an unexpected lilt to it, much like a fickle wind. She sings the most interesting intervals (I went to a piano and figured it out, it's a minor 6th) in the chorus. It's a soft song and is relaxing but it tingles with peculiar musical twists; perhaps you'd call this jazzy folk music. Mary Rocap is a skilled songwriter and singer from North Carolina. Listen to her this Wednesday (3/7/18) on our weekly facebook live!
"Long Hot Summer Days"
By Sara Watkins
Long hot summer days are what we're longing for and this song is a pretty good substitute to have while we wait. We are so impressed with the feel of this song, it drags like it's dripping with summer sweat and it's as sweet sounding as that fruit jar full of iced tea. We know Sara Watkins from Nickle Creek and love her solo stuff; she's got an great mix of Americana styles in her music. This song though was the perfect fit for the playlist... so yes, you're welcome.
"Riverside Hotel"
By Anna Tivel
WHAT an outrageously beautifully written song this is. Warning = it's kind of sad. But you'll love it... we promise... Anna Tivel is from Portland, Oregon, and to copy from her facebook page bio: "Anna Tivel has spend some quality hours in a dodge caravan repeating lyrical lines over and over until the words fall in time with the windshield wipers." She writes in dodge caravans in the rain, we absolutely love her and her music. This song that we feature is telling the story of a homeless person who has stationed himself across from the construction site of a "riverside hotel." The images, the sounds, and the perspective described for the listener is truly worth a listening to.
"Jenny Jenkins"
By Mt. Joy
We chose this song, we have to confess, because of the artwork on the album. We walked by their album in a store months ago and I guess it really made an impression because here we are today, finding it on Spotify. We played a few of their songs and have found that their sound is equally matched to the coolness of their artwork. Jenny Jenkins is a song about two young trouble makers, living life with no regrets. This is a band you want to know about; especially for their fresh folk sound. This song is a lot of fun and we bet you'll hear it and want to follow them on Spotify.

The Weekly Neville's Quarter Acoustic Breakdown Update - February 24th, 2018
We are back to looking at local bands this week for the Neville's Quarter's Acoustic Breakdown Spotify Playlist!
We added the musicians Charles Latham, Becca Rae, the Couldn't Be Happiers, the Mysti Mayhem Trio, and Kenny Jackson. Respectively, their songs are "Dressed up for Nothin'," "Ain't Ashamed," "Let's Not Bury the Obvious," "Good Day to Be Alive," and "The Shortest Day / Set the Log Alight." It's always such a terrific surprise to see that there is SO much talent in area we live in.
"Dressed up for Nothin'"
by Charles Latham
This song had us laughing the whole time. The lyrics were sad and oddly familiar... that time when you get everything ready for a big date and you're not sure the other person even remembered. The song has this calm, happy go lucky, tempo and almost a casual honky tonk walk; which makes the feelings of insecurity and panic in the words all the more amusing. The character to whom this awkward situation is happening to is talking to the "absent date" the whole time as if trying to play it cool. It's pretty hilarious, give this song a listen!
"Ain't Ashamed"
By Becca Rae
Becca Rae has an incredible voice! She got the country singer belting thing down; it's full of power, edged with pain, and perfectly melodious. She hardly needs any other instrumentation; and perhaps she knows this, having only a single guitar to accompany her voice. Personally, it was hard to listen to the words because the vocals are so skillfully expressed, they were all my mind wanted to pay attention to. But seriously, Becca Rae is a great musician and has a lot more to offer than just her voice; she's a great story teller! Listen to her tonight at IMURJ at 8pm!
"Let's Not Bury the Obvious"
By Couldn't Be Happiers
This duo is so cool and they fit so well together musically. The words are great mix of modern lingo with an old folk feel, which I think is part of their appeal. They are experts at combining the new and the old. This song is upbeat and feel-good. I imagine it's really fun to sing this song with someone you care about, so I suggest you put it on the car stereo on repeat on your next road trip.
"Good Day to Be Alive"
By Mysti Mayhem Trio
The lead vocalist's voice drips like metaphorical saucy chocolate, it's truly luscious and luxurious to listen to. It's a good day to be alive when you're starting it off listening to this song. The orchestration of the band is put together well; it's balanced and retains the same smooth swing throughout the whole song. Love this song, we're so happy to have discovered it.
"The Shortest Day/ Set the Log Alight"
By Kenny Jackson
This is an original by Kenny, who is a blessing to the Old Time genre of music. An instrumental song, it's a delightful tune that lightens the spirit. I'm guessing that is exactly what was felt by the composer because it is titled "the shortest day," a time when we need more light (both in our spirit and physical world). In the middle is switches into the "set the log alight" theme, which is more upbeat and gets you tapping your foot. These musicians are treasures to North Carolina, so we hope you'll give them a listen.

The Weekly Neville's Quarter Acoustic Breakdown Update - February 17th, 2018
What follows is the Valentine's edition of the Neville's Quarter's Acoustic Breakdown Spotify Playlist!
We added the bands We Banjo 3, Flatt Lonesome, The Amity Front, and Elephant Revival. Respectively, their songs are "Ain't Nobody Else Like You," "Never Let Me Go," "She Don't Lie," and "Hello You Who." We tried to pick the most romantic songs to provide you all warm fuzzy feelings for the rest of the week.
That belongs on a love note, no? The song is quiet, delicate, but totally encompassing; I think a lot of the power comes from the low notes from the cello and the soft rich tones of Bonnie Paine's voice.
"What Do You Dream About"
By Neville's Quarter
When you're in love, all your dreams involve that person whom you cherish most of all. This song rotates on that idea and with the idea that the other person "knows" the same feeling. The song is for sweethearts and dreamy eyed admirers. Happy Valentines Day! 💕💕💕💕

WE HAVE RELEASED A NEW SINGLE!
It is called "What Do You Dream About," and we were really happy to be able to release it on Valentine's Day! It is available for download and streaming everywhere.
We even made a lyric video: What Do You Dream About Video
"Ain't Nobody Else Like You"
by We Banjo 3
Here's a love song vocal duet to play to your love and make them feel special. Put this tune in the background whisper sweet nothings while you hand them roses and/or tickets to Merlefest. Because they'll be there this Spring! We're certainly hoping to see them there.
"Never Let Me Go"
By Flatt Lonesome
Fun, FUN, and fun. Dance with your partner while listening to this wonderful song. It's about never letting go of your partner. The harmonies are perfect and there is some great instrumentation. You'll probably want to put this one on repeat; it's too short!
"She Don't Lie"
By The Amity Front
At first you may think that there are some negative resentful tones to the song, because of the title and the first line of the song. However, the song turns surprisingly sweet and romantic. Though there is that tone of sad rejection, it doesn't make it any less of a Valentine's Day Song. Perhaps this song is more for those who are experiencing unrequited love. For those of you out there; hang in there and listen to this beautiful song to make you feel a little better.
"Hello You Who"
By Elephant Revival.
This one is just awesome sounding and the lyrics qualify as poetry:

"Hello You Who"
By Elephant Revival.
This one is just awesome sounding and the lyrics qualify as poetry:
"Hello you who moves with me in a dance.
Hello you who moves me like the sea.
Hello you who shows me what our fears are made of,
Who love me Love loves me just to be.
I’ll hold you, hold me closely.
All that I can give you, know I want to.
All I have to offer, it’s all for you.
I’ll hold you, hold me closely.
Goodbye to those starless skies, empty eyed, sorrow cries,
“no not goodbye.”
Hello to the dawning of the star inside our turning around,
Your sunshine eyes.
I love you Love love you just to be."
Hello you who moves me like the sea.
Hello you who shows me what our fears are made of,
Who love me Love loves me just to be.
I’ll hold you, hold me closely.
All that I can give you, know I want to.
All I have to offer, it’s all for you.
I’ll hold you, hold me closely.
Goodbye to those starless skies, empty eyed, sorrow cries,
“no not goodbye.”
Hello to the dawning of the star inside our turning around,
Your sunshine eyes.
I love you Love love you just to be."

The Weekly Neville's Quarter Acoustic Breakdown Update - February 10th, 2018
This is our Obviously Awesome Women Musicians edition of the Neville's Quarter's Acoustic Breakdown Spotify Playlist!
Yes, we always make our titles as long as possible...
We added the Becky Buller Band, Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull, Alison Krauss, and Ani DiFranco. Respectively, the songs added are "Speaking' to That Mountain," "Friend And A Friend," "Weighted Mind," "Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us," and "Sunday Morning." These are our favorite tracks of theirs (though it is really hard to pick!) hope you enjoy these excellent additions.
"Speaking' to That Mountain"
by Becky Buller
This is great Bluegrass, full of soul and spunk. Banjo, violin, guitar, and excellent vocals. There's a great beat and easy to dance to or just bounce in your seat to in the car. We love the old gospel feel that Becky has created. "Speaking to that mountain" are such powerful words.
"Friend and a friend"
By Molly Tuttle
Molly is so cool and her talent is obvious. This song is really fun and uplifts the soul. The energy is boundless but soft at the same time. It's a song about needing friends to help you through rough times; who can't relate to that? They're celebrating friendship and it's a lot of fun to listen to.
"Weighted Mind"
By Sierra Hull
The song for us is so captivating because of the delicately chosen dissonance that frames every musical phrase. The song is about the walls that get built up sometimes between people in relationships and how they need to come down for better communication. The mandolin playing is worth listening to, Sierra is a fantastic musician. There are wise words in the song... like letting walls exist is wasting time! Lessons learned: sometimes you got to suspend your beliefs in order to see what somebody else is seeing.
"Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us"
By Alison Krauss and Robert Plant
You can walk slowly and feel deep while listening to this song. The exotic melody in this extraordinary. The words will guide you through your hardship and heavy heart.
"Sunday Morning"
By Ani DiFranco
The leading guitar in this song is luscious, deep and wholesome. There are strings and piano in here too that are lovely. It's a very chill, relaxed song but still full of movement that makes you feel alert and present in the moment. Listening to this on a Sunday Morning would indeed be a good choice to start the day.

The Weekly Neville's Quarter Acoustic Breakdown Update - February 3rd, 2018
The moment you all have been waiting for.... Neville's QuarterAcoustic Breakdown has been updated!
This week we put some big names on the list.
We started with Sarah Jarosz who has, in case you've been living under some variety of rock, been a big up-and-coming name in Bluegrass.
We put in her great song "Build Me Up From Bones."
Then we added "Shenandoah Valley" by Steve Martin's Steep Canyon Rangers.
We have a pleasant association to Shenandoah Valley because we drive through there whenever we visit friends and family up north.
By the way route 81 is the best way to get there, folks, in case you're living under yet another variety of rock.
Next we moved out of the bluegrass genre and added the one man band Shakey Graves and his tune "Word Of Mouth". This guy is awesome he plays two or three instruments at the same time, YouTube him sometime. One of his instruments includes a kick drum that's actually a repurposed suitcase....
Next, we kept things funky and acoustic by adding Dave Matthews Band with his poetic song "Stay or Leave." Favorite line: "kissing whiskey by the fire" (yessss).
Then for the Finally we added the greatest guitar player to ever walk this planet Jimmy Hendrix.
Most people have only heard him play electric guitar, but here he is playing "Here My Train A Comin" on acoustic guitar. His Blues album helped inspire Brian Moyer to start playing guitar long ago.
Hope ya'll enjoy!

This Little Old Home Lyric Video - Neville's Quarter
We are excited to share that we just released a single called "This Little Old Home." It is a song about a family home/farm that has been passed down from generation to generation and was built by hand many years ago. Over the years a lot of devoted sweat and tears were put into the land and home to keep it beautiful. It is situated on many acres of farmland in the middle of suburbia New Jersey. Originally, the land had a beautiful orchard of apple trees, grapes, raspberries, blueberries, and a large lush flower garden. The farm was full of life with buzzing bee hives, and crowing chickens at one point. This family home and garden still stands today, but is beginning to fall apart due to age and inability to maintain the grounds. The song is about bringing it back to it's glory days, back to how it was when the grounds were maintained and so full of life. The American Dream has always been to get that beautiful home with the white picket fence and acreage, but not many people talk about attaining a dream that their grandparents parent's started. This family home means a lot to us and we love going back there for visits. Each time we are there we try to do our part to help bring it back to it's previous glory. Things are looking up for "This Little Old Home," much needed renovations have been made this past year and we have plans to restore the greenhouse to it's previous grandeur this summer. The farm is still operational and we love to talk walks around the grounds when we visit to take in the beauty that is still left. We think this is a story that many families in North Carolina, where we currently live, can relate to. Many families are still fighting to keep their little piece of The American Dream alive today as their families move away and start their own lives in brand new houses. The tradition used to be that you passed on a home to your family, but these days it seems the tradition is to just move away and leave it all behind. We want to show how a family can work together to keep tradition and history alive, by just putting in a lot of love! We had a lot of fun writing & recording this song and we hope you enjoy it as well!

Thanks for listening!
