As the August 7th release date for Sixpence None The Richer‘s long-delayed brand new album Lost In Transition is upon us, it’s got me thinking over the band’s history of music making. A decade ago, in 2002, Sixpence released their last non-seasonal full-length studio album, entitled Divine Discontent. Don’t let the bleak title fool […]

“Boy Story” by John DiBiase
Twenty one (and almost a half) months! While it’s been a few months since my last blog, these weeks in between posts have been anything but dull. Watching Will develop has been quite the site, as he’s a walking, running, toddling babbler. He doesn’t really speak much yet, although he’s […]
We Recommend: Tal and Acacia, “Wake Me”
Tal & Acacia, for whatever reason, just never really took off when they hit the scene. Despite the fact that their debut album on Essential Records, Wake Me, was full of catchy indie pop goodness with captivating voices (and was even supported with a tour alongside Superchick), Talitha and Acacia Wulfing’s first […]
We Recommend: Sarah Kelly, “Where The Past Meets Today”
I used to love making my own mixtapes and CD’s over the years, but with the wonder of iTunes, iPods and iPhones, having your own personal, practically perfect, radio station has become much more of a reality. You can have your favorite songs in one location and merely hit “shuffle” […]
10 Years Later: 12 Stones, “12 Stones”
It’s been 10 long years since 12 Stones hit the scene with Wind-Up Records, who seemed to be snatching up and signing every band who sounded even remotely similar to Creed. The band whose early sound mimicked Creed’s began an interesting path when they signed to Wind-Up — one in which they […]
“Words and Worlds Tour in Central Florida May 30” by Michael Weaver
Hey, central Floridians, listen up! You may have noticed the banner running across the top of the JFH site talking about the show we are sponsoring. The Words and Worlds Tour, featuring Sent By Ravens and Nine Lashes (two of Tooth and Nail’s hottest bands right now), are coming to the Sumter County Fair Grounds. Where are the […]
We Recommend: Plumb, “Blink”
I’ll never forget listening to Plumb‘s lullaby album Blink for the first time. For me, it’d be almost three years before I even knew what parenthood looked like from that perspective, but I remember letting the beautiful harmonies and Tiffany’s soft vocals wash over me as I sat in an easy chair listening […]

10 Years Later: Demon Hunter, “Demon Hunter”
In today’s world, Solid State Records sees a lot of strong bands come through their part of town, but a lot of them seem to fade out after one or two albums (Once Nothing, The Famine, Twelve Gauge Valentine, etc.). But one band has been going strong for a decade […]
We Recommend: Leeland, “The Great Awakening”
Ever since I was in my mid-teens, I’ve experienced the unique phenomenon where a band — or in this case, an album — doesn’t really strike a chord with me until I have experienced it live. Bands like Code of Ethics, Bride, Sixpence None the Richer, John Reuben, and more […]
