If you are no stranger to The South Rail, then you are more than familiar with the 2 featured acts. If not, well get that way:

Houndmouth are wrapping up one hell of a year. On top of several national TV appearances including Conan, Letterman and CBS This Morning, the New Albany/Louisville 4-piece have recently toured with Alabama Shakes and just wrapped up their recent tour with several sold out shows including New York City and 2 back-to-back shows in Louisville, KY where they performed with My Morning Jacket’s Jim James!

The Weeks are closing 2013 on a high note as well with a year of non-stop touring supporting their new album ‘Dear Bo Jackson.’ The Mississippi boys (now via Nashville) also spent a couple mouths overseas touring the UK opening for Kings of Leon, and wrapped up their their year playing 2 back-to-back sold out shows in Nashville just last week.

See below for best of videos from both bands and see you December 31st!

GET TO KNOW: Mom & Dad

January 9, 2012 1 Comment

Mom & Dad are a band that have recently caught our ear. Our only disappointment… that it took this long to discover them (for being just down the road from us)! This Murfeesboro, TN 4-piece have not only dropped their debut full-length ‘Cave Art’ independently last year but also released the 7-track EP ‘Pieces/Parts,‘ back in November. Fuzzy, lo-fi pop straight-outta Tennessee… What else can you ask for?

Check out both of Mom & Dad’s 2011 releases below and if your in the Nashville area Tuesday (1/10), swing by The End, where they’ll be playing with Don Coyote, Bad Back and The South Rail favorites Ranch Ghost:
