BIOGRAPHY
He was born in Mississippi and she was born in Tennessee. He lost his accent and she didn't. Dabbs had a fond love for classic folk/pop artists far from his generation, Neil Young, Paul Mccartney, Lennon, Van Morrison. Monroe had a fond love for classic country artists like Pasty Cline, Hank Williams, Dolly Parton ,Emmy Lou Harris. He moved to Nashville and continued his solo career and aimed to assemble songs only written by conviction. She had the same convictions with her career, yet hers was backed by a Sony Nashville record deal. After they listened to each others music, the two decided to write a few songs together. This decision was questioned with curiosity, "Can songs this simple connect like they used to?" With high hopes in hand and songs in the purest form, Dabbs & Monroe are moving forward. Once Monroe & Sony split ways, the duo decided to take these songs into the studio to see what may become of this. With great responses so far, their hard work will continue...

Cadillac Sky

Cadillac Sky should be a lot more tired. It’s early Saturday afternoon at MerleFest and the band–Bryan Simpson, Matt Menefree, Andrew Moritz, Ross Holmes and newest addition David Mayfield–has already logged two performances on the day....

Sessions: David Bazan

It was pretty slow. I mean, I played [the songs] on acoustic guitar for a long time, but I didn’t know how to transfer them to the other format. I didn’t want it to be a solo acoustic record. I wanted there to be bells and whistles and full band arrangements even if I didn’t want it necessarily to be electric guitar rock....

Sessions: Vetiver

“It’s always slightly confounding to me whenever Vetiver is depicted with the same tropes that people have read off of press sheets,” says Andy Cabic. “The same sort of milestones get mentioned but then no one really digs to find out that there are those other things going on.”

Spoon: The Power of Transference

In 1995, Spoon were often dubbed “the next Pixies.” The tag never quite fit, but the two did share a love for writing glorious pop songs and then shrouding them with walls of noise and mystery. Over 15 years, the Austin, Texas band have survived lineup shuffles and early record label neglect, finding their signature style with 2001’s Girls Can Tell and quietly building one of the strongest rock catalogs of the decade.
