For awhile now, I've been wanted to give some props to some excellent music blogs from elsewhere in this great state of ours. Through the magic of the Internets, you can watch video of some of Virginia's finest musicians doin' their thang.
Today, I looked in on the site for C-Ville, the Charlottsville news-arts weekly and read up on several months of Feedback, a blog by Brendan Fitzgerald. In addition to posting about concerts around Hooville, Fitzgerald also has area bands come by the paper's offices where he shoots video of them performing. A session with acoustic guitarist and songwriter Paul Curreri was particularly good -- quirky lyrics with strong singing and fantastic finger picking. If you like freak folk, Curreri is worth checking out. As an aside, this video shows him backing fellow Charlottesville musician Devon Sproule during a trip to England.
