Sounds Like Hallelujah: Weekend Playlist by Muther Goose

by | Sep 27, 2019 | MUSIC

Every Friday night, RVA Mag brings you an essential playlist curated by Virginia’s most influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This week’s comes to us from Muther Goose, a young bluegrass/folk/Americana quintet from Richmond who are just about to release their brand new album, Enough To Go On. In fact, you’ll be able to get it tonight, if you go check them out at their record release show at the Camel, where they’ll be sharing the stage with Dalton Dash and Graham Stone starting at 9 PM tonight. Grab your tickets here.

But first, make sure you give a listen to the treasure trove of goodies that Muther Goose has left us in the form of an excellent Spotify playlist. You’ll get a cornucopia of sounds that has influenced this acoustic quintet, from the predictable yet delightful sounds of Willie Nelson and Bela Fleck to unexpected but always excellent tunes by Karen Dalton and Pink Floyd. It’s a great way to get the most out of a lazy sunny afternoon this weekend. After which you can put on the new Muther Goose album you’ll score tonight at The Camel. Of course.

Get with it, Virginia.
