There are people who are taking this Sony Boycott seriously, and I’m getting a metric ton of Google Searches for “sony boycott”. So I’m going to do my own version of “Sony Detox”, reviewing a different independent artist every week for a month. Last week it was Laura Love, we’ll make this week’s artist Nickel Creek.
Their uniquely upbeat mix of bluegrass and acoustic pop has been a favorite of mine for years. Their already evocative lyrics are made all the more powerful by their subtle harmonies and vocal talent.
Even better, they’re performing at the Tampa Theatre this weekend. Sugar Hill is their label, which is not a part of any of the Big Four, that I’m aware of. Look for me there if you decide to go!
