Take Away Show - Alex Winston

Here's yet another installment of La Blogotheque's Take Away Show series and this time the artist featured is Alex Winston.  Ms. Winston is an American multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter hailing from the Motor City, Detroit, MI.  These performances have a certain pop vibe to them coupled with some great vocal harmonies and as always, the filming is superb.  Enjoy.  PS, I'm pretty sure I found my new crush--real talk.

Take Away Show - Josh T. Pearson

Josh T. Pearson is an American singer-songwriter from Texas who carries along with his Jesus-beard, a certain ability to gently pluck at the emotional heart-strings.  In this installment of La Blogotheque's Take Away Show series, Mr. Pearson meanders throughout the streets of Paris softly performing his tracks "Sweetheart, I Ain't Your Christ" and "Thou Art Loose".  It's really quite amazing how powerful these performances are considering the nature of his performing style.  Give this a watch and thank me later.

Take Away Show - Hyperpotamus

Here's La Blogotheque latest Take Away Show offering: Hyperpotamus.  Hyperpotamus truly is something to marvel.  He is an entirely accapella performer, yes, entirely.  Do yourself a favor and check out this performance and if you like what you see/hear, go over to his site and check out his cover of the Beetles' track "Strawberry Fields Forever", it's pretty fucking cool.

Take Away Show - Valleys

Here's the latest Take Away Show from La Blogotheque and this time the feature band is Valleys.  The performances were shot in Montreal and are certainly something to see.  The camerawork is excellent as always--enjoy the music.

Take Away Show - Florent Marchet

I am usually impressed by La Blogotheque's Take-Away Shows and this week is no different.  Highlighted in this unique Take Away Show is French singer-songwriter Florent Marchet.  I don't expect many of you to be familiar with Miseur Marchet but go ahead and give him a listen--he's working with some pretty cool melodies, not to mention, the performances are shot extremely well as usual.  Enjoy.

Every now and then a musical talent comes along and forces listeners to move a little away from their comfort zones, and now, courtesy of La Blogotheque's Take Away Show series, Colin Stetson and his baritone sax are here to do just that.  Enjoy another masterful performance.

Adam Repucha - Take Away Show

Here's the latest Take Away Show offering from the French blogsite La Blogotheque.  This time the highlighted artist comes in the form of young Polish singer-songwriter Adam Repucha.  Admittedly, I wasn't particularly aware of Adam Repucha before watching these performance video but he's actually got a presence about him.  The performances were shot by one of my favorite directors around, Vincent Moon, and are definitely worth a watch.  Enjoy.



The other two of the three performances can be seen HERE.
