New artists, new CDs, new stuff I like.

Discovery: Dana Falconberry

Another new one for me (she’s been around awhile, how did I not know this?) This is Dana Falconberry. Her music is described as “orchestral pop-folk” and I’d say, judging by this song, that’s pretty accurate. It’s lovely. She has…
