Hi, my name is Dick Underdog.

I present a monthly half hour podcast called Route For The Underdog. It is dedicated to the best new emerging and unsigned artists. 

Oregon native Levi Strom has coined the term, “surf country”, to describe his blend of American roots music and West Coast surf culture. It’s also the title of his new record due out March of 2013 on Vow Records. For his latest, and third full length LP, Strom teamed up with country rockers, Sparrows Gate, visiting their home studio in Atascadero CA. “The music kinda wrote itself”, the songwriter recalls about recording with SG, “they have this cool house out in the country, with mules and chickens running around and during the day to take a break from recording we would go surfing . . . At the end of the day the music sounded exactly like that, surf country!” A mash of driving acoustic guitars, mandolins, and harmonica smoothed out by lush back up harmonies, reverby guitars and dreamy slide all provide the foundation upon which Levi delivers his signature heartfelt and slightly off-key vocals. 


Drawing on themes of dislocation and dreamlike imagery, Strange Pilgrim is an exploration of living in an increasingly unfamiliar world. Much of their lyrical content focuses on the social and political uncertainty of these times, on connecting with nature, and on yearning for some form of freedom. Their harmony-drenched, psych-pop sound is centered on the experience of venturing toward some unknown horizon, for better or for worse. 

Strange Pilgrim is Joshua Barnhart’s new Oakland band. He first became known as the drummer of the acclaimed Bay Area band Port O’Brien. For three years, he toured Europe, North America, and Australia with them. Since then, he has played drums, guitar, and sang with bands including Release the Sunbird, Two Sheds, Kelly McFarling, Vetiver, Sparrows Gate, and Zeb Zaitz.

Strange Pilgrim began as a side-project duo under Joshua’s name, featuring guitarist Paul Dutton. In 2016, they recorded and released their first album, Turn Out The Light. Over the next two years, the band added  drums, bass, and an additional lead guitar. They released two singles, "Dance with Me" and “Blue Eyes,” and eventually, a solid lineup formed with Adam Nash (of Goodnight Texas), Pat Spurgeon (of Rogue Wave), Sterling Schlegel, Paul Dutton, and Taylor Belmore. 
 
They released "Salt and Seagulls" on March 6th, and "Staring at the Sky" on July 24th, 2020. 
Their new single, "Blue Light" is out on Feb 5, 2021.

Lindsie Feathers is an Americana singer-songwriter and the front-woman of the emerging band Feathersweet. Known for her soulful voice, heartfelt lyrics, and rootsy storytelling, Lindsie’s music blends the intimacy of folk with the grit of classic country and the warmth of vintage Americana. 

She has performed alongside notable artists including Cal Campbell & Ashley Campbell (children of the iconic Glen Campbell) and Justin Webb and Cornelius Webb (sons of iconic songwriter Jimmy Webb). Her songs explore themes of love, resilience, and life’s winding path.
