The Deli Philly’s Featured Artist(s) Poll Winner: Maitland
It’s great time for the music scene in Philly. We’ve been getting an influx of talented transplants over the last few years. However, the city certainly doesn’t feel saturated yet. And it’s always a treat to come across young musicians like our recent Featured Artist(s) Poll Winner, Maitland, who have come from Williamsport, PA, to remind us how lucky we are to have such a supportive community. Please check out our interview with the indie-folk duo of Josh Hines and Jeff Mach HERE.
Chris Forsyth & the Solar Motel Band Residency Continues w/Support From Tin Horses & Mikele Edwards at Ortlieb’s June 13
Oh man – it’s dark, and it looks like a hard rain’s gonna fall all day. But for those who refuse to stay trapped in your place, head on over to Ortlieb’s tonight to catch the continuation of Chris Forsyth & the Solar Motel Band’s residency. Forsyth’s new backing band is made up of guitarist Paul Sukeena (Spacin’), drummer Steven Urgo (ex-War on Drugs) and bassist Peter Kerlin, and they provide a wonderful backdrop for his masterful guitar work. This evening, they’ll be bringing along Tin Horses, the bluesy psych rock project from Purling Hiss bassist Kiel Everett that travels along the dusty trail of American music history, and Arc In Round’s Mikele Edwards will be laying down some entrancingly haunting, ambient soundscapes. The combination of the supporting acts should be quite fitting for Forsyth’s self-described “cosmic Americana” tunes. Take shelter with them from the storm – it’ll be a great way to ride it out! Ortlieb’s Lounge, 847 N. 3rd St., 9pm, $6, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman

New Video: “Untitled” (Out Of Town Films) – Mary Lattimore & Jeff Zeigler
Check out the lovely new video from Out Of Town Films of Mary Lattimore and Jeff Zeigler performing “Untitled”! Below are a few words about the session from the production crew.
This session with Mary Lattimore had been months in the making. We first visited her home last summer to film Quilt in her backyard then we visited a few months later to shoot with her former roommate Daniel Bachman. All the while, we kept talking about linking up for a session with her and her harp.
Fast forward to several months later and a night out at the El Bar in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia. We ran into Mary and made a pact to finally get together for a session. A few emails later and the recruitment of her friend, Jeff Zeigler, we found ourselves back at her home. This time we were there for her and her "Untitled" performance. Enjoy.
