3 songs from Home County artists to boost your playlist
London Morning's Ryan Soulliere has 3 hot music picks from this week's shows
London Morning's associate producer, Ryan Soulliere, listens to a lot of music for his role, picking tunes for the show. In any given week, that's about 25 songs. Here are three artists featured on London Morning who will be performing at the Home County Music and Art Festival this Saturday.
Sister Ray - Wings
Toronto-based Sister Ray takes the Home County stage at 3:30 p.m. London Morning played Wings from Sister Ray's album Believer. Wings is a mellow yet steady track with a particular musical magic to it that makes it easy on the ears and a perfect song for sipping your favourite early morning beverage.
The Marrieds - Rita
London folk duo The Marrieds perform at 4:30 Saturday afternoon at Home County. The Marrieds' song Rita is upbeat, loaded with great harmonies and has a wonderful harmonica line that really pulls you into the groove. Rita is a great song for any playlist and will certainly add some dance energy to your next party mix.
Bedouin Soundclash - Inversion Weather
Festival veterans Bedouin Soundclash close out this year's Home County with a set that starts at 9:30 p.m. From Bedouin Soundclash's huge catalogue, London Morning played Inversion Weather. This song has a lot going on in the mix with haunting vibraphones, call-and-answer harmonies and spacey keys all sitting on a bed of acoustic guitars. Inversion Weather will fit on almost any playlist, and it's a great song to play at your next gathering with friends.
