A note from the host:

My guest on The Local Show this week was Kelly Dearmore – music critic for Dallas Morning News and GuideLive. I love having guests onto the show who have been part of the music community here for quite some time. They always dig out a gem from back in the day and introduce me to some new music I’m not familiar with. Kelly brought in a great song from Slobberbone this week!

I played a lot of new music on the show this week, as well. One of my favorite recent discoveries is a new band called Desert Youth — they haven’t even played a show yet! Their music is dreamy and kind of reminds me of Fleet Foxes:



I also played a beautiful new song from Ron Bultongez, an artist originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo who now lives in Plano:

Here’s the full playlist for this week’s show:

Desert Youth – “Savanna”

The Deathray Davies – “Stumble”

Sammy Strettmatter – “Indigo Bunting”

Ron Baltongez – “Calm”

Son Ship – “Intentions”

The Hope Trust – “Think About The Other Side”

Slobberbone – “Your Excuse”

Cure For Paranoia – “Thrills”

K.Avett – “The Matter”

Ryan Berg – “Molly Miss My”

Tomkat – “Teardrops”

Henry The Archer – “Wifi-Pets”
