Free Music Friday: Dan Craig & Jessica Sonner are Oh, Starling

Married couples making music together is darling. When it’s Christmas tunes, it’s almost even more darling but probably about the same.

Oh, Starling – the musical moniker of our friends/darling married folks Dan Craig & Jessica Sonner – has released a new EP of Christmas tunes titled Joy. The tunes aren’t new, but the renditions are. What is darling for you is that you can download Joy for free until Thanksgiving. Just click the darling album artwork below. Happy listening.

Free Music Friday: Glacier Prey by Candy Claws

Earlier this year, my new favorite Ft. Collins band  – Candy Claws – released their album In The Dream Of Sea Life with a show at Everyday Joe’s. Ryan, Kay, & Wesley were kind enough to give me a copy of the album (which is gorgeous visually & musically speaking) and it has quickly worked it’s way into almost daily listening rotation.

This adoration has apparently manifested itself eslwhere as Candy Claws has been recognized in local press (check it) and played shows as of late with the likes of Young Coyotes and Bad Weather California and more.

Good for you, long-time friends.

Usually, bands wait for a while after an album release to release a collection of miscellaneous other songs and things. These sort of releases are stop-gaps to keep the income flowing between albums. Candy Claws appears to be in hyper-speed, as a second album is coming and a collection of rarities, videos, and covers is now available for you to download. For free. Right now.

The collection is called Glacier Prey. It contains many things (full table of contents here). It’s quite the download (800 mb) but well worth it. Promises. Click the album art below and then go outside and play and then come back and it will be ready for you to enjoy with a snack.

Free Music Friday: “Throw” by Son Lux

Sometimes good things just keep on giving.

About a year ago, I gave you my first impressions of At War With Walls And Mazes, the debut album by Son Lux. That album is my official favorite of 2008, and Son Lux (Ryan Lott) just keeps on finding songs that didn’t make AWWWAM’s final cut…and they seem to be getting exponentially more beautiful.

In order to support these claims, I present to you “Throw.” A song that didn’t make the album that Son Lux released last week as a free download followed by the words “Enjoy, and please spread it around!”

We will now do our part in that spreading. Download “Throw” here.

Or, if your not into positively free and legit music, just listen to it below.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Happy Friday.

Free Music Friday: A Free Album From JJ Heller

Back in March the musician known as JJ Heller played the Everyday Joe’s stage. If I remember correctly, a handful of folks drove to Fort Collins from Missouri – or somewhere else in the Midwest – for the show. I was so impressed I tried to give them free coffee, but they wouldn’t take it.

Now it’s your turn for something free. JJ Heller is offering a whole album to you for no money. Just download and enjoy.

And it looks to me like the cover art is done by our very favorite, Luke Flowers. He is the perverbial most awesome.

Free Music Friday: Free EP from Kate Hurley

Oh, Kate Hurley.

She is a very funny lady. Very funny and very easily distracted…and those qualities are very endearing when you are in the room with her.

Kate has played Everyday Joe’s quite a few times. She has an album out that is fantastic and features the likes of The Blackthorn Project, Aaron Strumpel, Andrew Jed, Trace Bundy, and Aboyandhiskite (who also recorded/produced the record). She was also featured on our little treat we gave you back in December of ‘07.

In the spirit of most independent musicians these days, Kate is giving away a free EP of her music for you to enjoy.

Download the You Are Not Alone EP by clicking right here.
