Tyler Ramsey On Mountain Stage

Jul 24th, 2008 · The facile finger-picker can apply his stamp to ragged blues plaints and folky instrumentals alike. It's no surprise that the indie-rock group Band of Horses asked Ramsey to come along on tour — as both its opening act and as its new guitarist.

Sera Cahoone: Tiny Desk Concert

Jul 10th, 2008 · Sera Cahoone got her start playing drums for a few widely adored bands in the Pacific Northwest, most notably Band of Horses and the spell-checker-defying Carissa's Wierd. But her self-titled, self-released 2006 album marked her as a fully formed talent — a warm and inviting singer whose songs convey world-weariness and homespun grace. Cahoone stopped by the NPR offices to perform a few songs at the desk of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen.

Channeling Patsy Cline, by Way of Neko Case ***

Sep 26th, 2006 · Sera Cahoone has played drums for Band of Horses and Carissa's Wierd (sic), two groups whose music can be majestically beautiful, wrenchingly powerful or both. None of their output, however, provides reason to expect Cahoone's solo work to drift into territory as soothing as her gorgeous, breezily hypnotic "Couch Song."
