A couple years ago, I set out to cover some of my favorite songs slowly and sweetly.
This is “My Girl”.
Want to Hear Something New?
So we decided to submit a couple songs for this competition 80/35, Wellmark and Iowa Public Radio are putting on.
Though our new album isn’t out yet (or titled), we sent the selection panel a couple new songs so we can start getting them out there — because we’re super excited to start playing them and sharing!
About the 2 tracks
1. “Take the Streets”: This is about as anthem-esque as we might ever get as Seedlings. We wrote it after the Arab Spring events occurred. Love, love, love performing this song.
2. “Between Us”: Our goal was to create a groove and the result has had us tapping our toes ever since.
We had an awesome time pulling all these songs together and are even more excited to start sharing them with everyone.
For Now:
For the next couple weeks, these songs will be live on our Sound Cloud page: http://bit.ly/g2y1O9.
We invite you to listen, share, and let us know what you think.
Much love,
Seedlings
Our Mission:
We want you to grow old with us. As a collection of friends, we find that playing music is one thing we can all come together and share with the world. By listening, we get to go through it all together.
And we’ll be there when you reach out.
Much love,
Danny, Mallory, Ryan, Connor, Andrew, Kate & Nels
Tikly Launch!
We are excited to play at tonight’s launch of Tikly, a Des Moines-based ticketing platform for venues and artists.
The Des Moines Register featured a blog on it today: Launch Party!
The Nadas and Parlours will also be playing.
We also have a show on Feb. 23rd at the Vaudeville Mews. Hope to see any and all of you there.
Much love,
~ Seedlings
