A friend of mine just introduced me to the folk rock band She’s a Keeper, and I’m really excited about them.
They’ve got a sound very reminiscent to Mumford & Sons, but they have a little more country twang in their tunes. They describe themselves as “Americana pop from the middle of the map,” and that explanation is pretty much on point.
I’m posting both the SoundCloud stream of their newest release, Live at Midwestern, and also a video to “Stupid Heart,” which appears on the live release.
I’ve been on a Kings of Leon binge recently and this music works perfectly with it, in a strange kind of way.
I suggest listening to Live at Midwestern once through without repeating or skipping any songs, just soaking in the music, listening to the nuances of the banjo, violin, cello, and other various stringed instruments. They’ve got something unique and great and I’m excited to hear more out of them.
