Who? What? When? Why? & Werewolves? are a folk/roots/bluegrass band from Delaware County, PA. 

The Minor Adjustments are a bluegrass jam group based out of Philadelphia, PA consisting of 4 members: Graham Brewer on mandolin, Jacob Brewer on guitar, Peter Subramanian on fiddle and Sarah Scarborough on vocals. Our sound takes influence from bluegrass and country to jazz and blues. Our aim is for a diverse musical palette spanning genres while sticking to the simplistic roots of acoustic music.

All songs are original unless stated as a cover in the song description. All covers are fair use and are not being profited from.

Joey Sweeney has been writing songs and prose since the 1980s. Over the years, he has fronted the groups The Barnabys and The Trouble With Sweeney, as well as recording and performing as a solo artist. Meanwhile, he’s also written for a wide array of publications, including Salon.com, Philadelphia Weekly, the Philadelphia Inquirer and his daily perch, Philebrity.com, the cityblog he established in 2004 after a decade-long run as a rock critic. 

His songs and records have received widespread critical acclaim over the years; of his last record with The Trouble With Sweeney, Fishtown Briefcase, Pitchfork said “[Sweeney] mixes autobiography and fiction against the group’s 70s-inflected indie pop, resourceful— and unabashed— enough to digress into an E Street interlude or an AM-rock guitar coda.” He’s also garnered curse and praise as a writer of prose, having won the AAN Award for Music Criticism and appeared in Best Music Writing 2002.

From 2004 through 2010, Sweeney mostly shied from performing and recording, focusing instead on his role as Publisher & Editor of the website Philebrity.com. In 2011, however, Sweeney stepped back into his old role of singer/songwriter, this time fronting the rock band Arctic Splash. Joey Sweeney Your Life Is Calling compiles the best of everything before the Splash. 

In early 2013, Sweeney went on to record Long Hair, with Grammy award-winning producer Aaron ‘Luis’ Levinson, Lushlife aka Raj Haldar, and others. His current outfit, Joey Sweeney & The Neon Grease are presently in the midst of a run of singles inspired by neon, and grease.

There's nothing contrived or forced about the music he makes. Everything has it's place. It's all very natural. Marc Riley Show (BBC Radio 6)

Serious Sam Barrett, from Addingham, splendid folk blues from the West Yorkshire hills Gideon Coe show.(BBC Radio 6)


Songs that rattle with the ghosts of Appalachian folk, and southern blues, yet sound emphatically English.
UNCUT MAGAZINE

Old before his years country-folk fellow who mixes intricate John Fahey fingerpicking with confessional tales of dirty old Leeds-THE GUARDIAN (PICK OF THE WEEK)

“Yorkshirecana bluegrass brilliance from Serious Sam. He plays a mean 12 string resonator, mixing songs about his home county with traditional southern folk stompers. There’s authenticity, there’s soul - someone to get very excited about.”- ARTROCKER

(ARTROCKER MAGAZINE voted his first album NUMBER 27 in the top 100 albums of 2009 (not bad for a 500 limited pressing) http://artrocker.com/node/19662)

“Deliciously home-grown, this is a rewarding collection of songs that could well renew your faith in underground folk scenes. This stripped down and raw album is riddled with the gritty reality of this artist's Northern life and makes no apologies” ACOUSTIC MAGAZINE

“An endlessly playable delight from beginning to end”- VINTAGE GUITAR MAGAZINE (USA)

.“Barrett has become a master of his craft”-BLUES MATTERS MAGAZINE..

“Serious Sam Barrett plays traditional songs and his own compositions from the Leeds delta on a big 12-string guitar and resonator. Close To Home, his debut album is bright and brash and very good”. ROCK N' REEL MAGAZINE (R2)

rootsy, bluegrassy, country music with an authenticity that makes it appeal to fans of the genre and people who might not ever think to put on a folk record. Smokin’ fingerpicking and catchy choruses; how can you go wrong? Razorcake. (USA)
