Question

I tried this on my personal page and there were only a couple people I haven't heard of, from people's suggestions. Better shot here: What are some bands/artists you feel like deserve knowing and many don't. Me? •Nathanial Rateliff and/or Nathanial Rateliff and The Night Sweats •Kaleo •Anderson East •Yola •Alabama Shakes •The Highwomen • Sonia Kilo I stay up on the weekends and listen to music. Any recommendations are much appreciated.  

Answer 1

I love Nathaniel Rateliff! Saw him live a few years ago and he was phenomenal. I know you said The Highwomen but I want to point out that Brandi Carlile is, by far, the best vocalist there. In fact, I think she sounds better live!

He puts a tickle in my lady pickle! Honestly, I became a big fan after he opened for Kings of Leon. I knew SOB, but he was better than KOL and I wanted him to sing more. Yes! I love Brandi. She's never put out a bad song.

@jawbreaker31 We were probably at the same show! July 2017?

@albedo, yes ma'am. I had to look up a picture I was tagged in from the concert, to check. It was a good concert, but he was much better than KOL. Nathanial was just here, right before this all started. Wanted to go, but those tickets were crazy priced. He seems like a good time to hang out with.  

Answer 2

The Struts, I have seen them twice and their shows are so fun. Their music is a great mix. Picture a more pop version of Queen.

Blue October. You will find it all in their music/ lyrics. Depends what album you will choose to listen, from a very dark side to a happy one.

@sholes1038 Blue October is one of my favorite bands! I saw them live many times going back to 2001 in Houston.

Rafferty. Stumbled across him looking for music for my cycle classes. He doesn’t have a TON, but it’s sooooo good. Woodkid. “Run Boy Run” is so great.
