mp3: Courtney Marie Andrews "Venus is Prominent"

It's been a good week for local music. Earlier this week we brought you brand new singles from Snakes! Snakes! Snakes! and Gospel Claws. Another new song, from one of our favorite local musicians, that we can add to that list is the new single from Courtney Marie Andrews, who provides us with some more of her folky goodness.

The new single, entitled "Venus is Prominent," comes off Andrews' forthcoming LP which is scheduled to be released September 28th on River Jones Music Label. The song was produced by Love Me Nots Bob Hoag.

You can stream the song here but if you'd like to download the track you'll need to do so over at Think Indie. Trust us, though, it's worth it.

Tonight in Phoenix: Boys and Frogs with Courtney Marie Andrews @ Lost Leaf

Two of our favorites Boys and Frogs along with Courtney Marie Andrews are joining forces tonight at The Lost Leaf. Show should start at 9:30ish and I expect it to be pretty packed in there considering the quality you are getting and the fact that it's free. So get there several hours early and drink a lot. It's still the Holidays till tomorrow right?

Today/Tonight in Phoenix: RIver Jones Pres "The Final Folk Fest" @ Modified

The last time we spoke was Wednesday and within an hour of that post I felt that familiar tickle in the back of my throat that lets you know that you are about to get hella fucking sick. And so it was... I was pretty much bed ridden from Wed afternoon till this morning, so if anything cool happened since then I am sorry for missing it. But today on the other hand is going to be awesome! My old friend River Jones is throwing another (and last) Folk Festival at Modified Arts today. You will be able to visually and aurally experience many many musical artists in their natural habitat. For you pleasure and convenience I have listed most of them all below. The whole shebang get's started and noon and goes till question marks and only costs $8, so assuming it goes till 8pm that is only $1 per hour, but if it ends at 1:22 I will feel cheated.

Courtney Marie Andrews Performs On The Train Tracks

One of the perks of being a music blogger who covers their local music scene is that you are regularly introduced to new and interesting artists. Of all the great new artists that I have recently discovered I have to say that Courtney Marie Andrews is among my favorites. I was lucky enough to visit her Myspace page not that long ago and was instantly hooked on the songs she had available. Recently, Andrews was filmed for my new favorite website, The Train Tracks, performing her song "Hitched a Ride."
