There is no shortage of amazing original music being made by artists Born & Bred here in the mountain state. Every week we continue to be amazed by the quality and quantity of artistry created by the talented storytellers of our home.

Morgantown based post punk outfit, The Bedheads have released their debut full length album “Sweet Dreams.” This 10 track project, produced by Brandon Wood of The Press, is a non stop high energy album that perfectly sums up the energy this band brings to any stage they step on. Check out Candy Cigarettes below.
How can you not love Shelem? Not that we’ve heard anyone say that, but if you don’t, how? This amazing genre bending artist from Charleston just continues to elevate his art with each new release and that’s true of his full length “Play It Safe.” Anyone that can work ubiquitous into a song deserves your listen. Check out Take Time below.
Jared Henry is a song machine. His output over the last year has been non stop and he released a new track All The Same to streaming services today. It’s a song of unity and recognizing that while we are different, we all have similar issues and struggles making us the same. Listen below.
Matthew Malinoski has released a single Anymore. We’ve listened to this track a lot here at Born & Bred. It’s earthy, it’s rock, it‘s everything in between. This feels like a song Tom Petty would’ve wrote if he was a young man growing up today instead of the sixties. It’s a perfect introduction to this young artist and we can’t wait to hear more from him.
Folk group Dalchord knows how to write a song that puts you in your feelings. Love To Lose does just that. This song is a track person who knows what he has but self sabotages everything he loves and touches is a perfect example of their story telling abilities. And the harmonies here are on point.
Philip Bowen is always making thoughtful songs about life experiences and that trend continues with the song KIDS. This track that shows off Bowen’s fiddling skills is a letter of wisdom to his kids and children in general, about how to treat the world. It’s a beautiful lesson of generosity and consideration for others. Listen below.
BRRO released their first music video this week. Geek is a song they released a year ago but have finally been able to make a video to go along with it. A song like this is ripe for a music video and it delivers on everything geek. We appreciate a lot of nerdiness here at Born & Bred so this video and song speaks to us personally. Watch it below.
