As I was sifting through piles of really great independent music, I just couldn’t make up my mind on a theme.  So, my theme this week is no theme at all, and I’m just gonna play what I want.  Some great new tracks, awesome songs that have been around a little bit, and of course some musical discovery along the way.  It’s fun, it’s cool… it’s the IMP!

Many independent artists love to combine all sorts of musical genres to come up with new combinations of sounds that can reach new audiences.  Well, this week we take a look at how folk and americana music have influenced the independent scene with stellar performances, touching prose, and some extremely technical guitar playing in some cases.  Folk isn’t just for hippy drum circles scented with patchouli, so get ready!
