Bluegrass, Hip Hop and Metal… this is the diversity of the West Virginia music scene wrapped up in one New Release feature. Bluegrass featuring a guest spot from Tim O’Brien, hip hop from Stereophonic and Metal from Lo-Pan are all here in our new releases from the last few weeks.
Listen to all of the amazing West Virginia Music on our Spotify Playlist and Apple Playlist.
Tim O’Brien joined Alison Brown and Steve Martin as a featured vocalist and mandolin player on their track “5 Days Out, 2 Days Back.” This track has a huge cast of bluegrass heavyweights that is rounded out by Bryan Sutton and Stuart Duncan. There isn’t any flashy lead riffs here. Just a solid song that tells a story played by some amazing musicians. Listen to it below.
Grab a fat cup of sweet tea and get ready to bump this new track from Stereophonic all summer long. “Cycles” is southern hip hop done to perfection. This sound puts us in the mood to listen to Arrested Development after we get through this track. This is a great track to get started with Stereophonic if you’ve not listened to them yet. Check out all of their music and the new track below.
Lo-Pan is a metal band based in Ohio but featuring two West Virginians in the lineup. They have released their full length album “Get Well Soon” from Magnetic Eye Records. The nine track LP is full of headbanging tracks that juxtapose heavy riffs alongside of melodic vocals that show off the versatility of this four piece. You can stream the entire album below.
