#WhatchaListeningTo Wednesday - #LIGfest Edition

I've been absent for a few weeks, but I'm BACK! Just in time, too, for the Life is good Festival this coming weekend in Canton, MA.  I am proud to be a volunteer for the 3rd year in a row at the Festival, and I'm again signed up to be a facepainter!

Yep, that's my handiwork from last year. Jealous?

This week's #WhatchaListeningTo list is going to feature songs from artists I'm excited to hear! Also, check below to see which artist tweeted me back about the Festival!

Here's what I'm listening to in preparation for the Festival!

• Sara Bareilles - Uncharted - I love this video's cameos. "Jumpstart, my kaleidoscope heart..."
• Soulive - Steppin' - This song has been on my playlist since '02, and I still love it. I am so excited to finally hear them/sneak away from the tent for a song or two! 
• Tim Reynolds (performing with Dave Matthews) - Stream - This man is a-ma-zing. Seriously.  Dave and Tim shows are really about the music and showcasing their musical abilities, which I appreciate.  
• Eric Hutchinson - Oh - One of my favorite "in-the-car-sing-a-long" songs.  Also, this is from the radio station I grew up listening to.  Hey, 96.5, heyyy. 
• Ryan Montbleau Band - Carry - I am looking forward to seeing Ryan and the band play live, as I'm starting to get into their catalogue.  "And I will carry the weight..."

Tweet Tweet!

Yep, I went there.  #Nerd

Anyone else going to the #LIGfest? Tweet me at the Festival and come on over to get your face painted!  I got all the LIG designs dowwwwwwwn. #facepaintingprofessional

#WhatchaListeningTo Wednesday

Here's what I'm listening to on this final week of my summer job (Can't be too excited, yet - the school year is right around the corner!)

• The Killers - Runaways - I saw them perform live a few years ago, and it was a very fun show - Brandon Flowers is a huge talent.
• Florence and the Machine - Spectrum - "Say my name/ as every colour illuminates/ we are shining/ and we'll never be afraid again"
• Needtobreathe - Hurricane - The band came to the Radio 92.9 Boch Studio 2 years ago - I'm a little late to this song, apparently, but I love it.
• Sara Bareilles - One Sweet Love - Simply a sweet, sweet love song. It got me.
• Peter Bjorn and John - Nothing To Worry About - A quirky song that I can't stop listening to. 

So, #whatchalisteningto?

#WhatchaListeningTo Wednesdays

Here's What I'm Listening To this week:

• Gary Clark Jr. - Bright Lights  - This is from the Dave Matthews Caravan tour in Chicago '11. I've always tended to dig whoever Dave takes on tour with him, even if I'm not totally enamored with DMB these days.  This guy gets down. 
• The Decemberists - O Valencia! - Song starts at 2:05, but the video is kinda cool to watch!
• Butch Walker & the Black Widows - Trash Day - This was a fun one to have on in my drive to work this morning. Oops, he drops the F-bomb, if the kiddos are listening.
• Greg Laswell (feat. Sara Bareilles) - Come Back Down - I can't help but sing along with this one, and the video concept is really interesting. 
• Motopony - Seer  - Motopony describes themselves on their Twitter page as "Glitch Folk. Hard Soul. Hope and Roll. Music for coming together" - They're definitely a folk/rock mix, and I'd love to see them live sometime. I think they'd put on a great show!

                            

So, #WhatchaListeningTo? (That's right, I'm starting a hashtag. What!)
