I’ve got TWO great things for you heading into the weekend. The first is a pretty sweet covers playlist, and the second is a heads up about what’s sure to be a great show (likely) coming to a city near you.
Dynamic always-current playlists: Spotify | TIDAL | YouTube
This fourth version of covers is my favorite yet and features songs originally written in pretty much every decade since the 60s, as well as a little something for the Swifties among us. Something I love about a good cover is its ability to instantly spark joy — it at once transports me back to the earlier time of a classic song and keeps me in the moment with the novelty of a fresh take.
I would love to hear which one is your favorite, or if you have a suggestion for the next installment of covers coming later this year. Oh, and here’s a mega-playlist of past covers I’ve featured on Acoustic Blend.
The very first time I put together a covers playlist I shined a spotlight on Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, and they are kicking off their 10th anniversary tour (today!) where they will be starting in Oregon and rolling through Colorado before hitting the midwest and east coast. See the full rundown below, including multiple stops in my home state of Indiana (Elkhart, Wabash, Lafayette, and Indianapolis).
I feel like this show will be the perfect blend of nostalgia and originality (and talent!), plus I love a good concert to look forward to. See the video below or their extensive playlist for a taste of what’s in store.
Here’s every stop on the tour before they head to the UK later this spring:
