Laura Veirs – Two Beers Veirs

This post was written by Benji

As you may know, I was/am completely infatuated with Laura Veirs’ Saltbreakers, and I was excited to tackle Veirs’ newest EP Two Beers Veirs. I love her dorky indie chic approach to music, and calling an EP Two Beers Veirs fits right in line. Though I’m not as excited about this EP as I was about Saltbreakers, there are some good tracks to check out. “Spike Drivers Blues (Mississippi John Hurt)” is a lazy Sunday-folk ditty with serene acoustic vocals and Veirs’ crooning in the foreground. “Wildwood Flower (Irving & Webster)” is another beautiful slow-rolling folk song that seems perfect for this long weekend.

Get yourself a copy of Two Beers Veirs.

Looove Laura’s music. So glad you featured her recently. I’d like to run my own music by you. What’s an e-mail I can reach you at?

Yes and Yes. Saltbreakers, Year of the Meteors, Carbon Glacier… such good work.

The Saltbreakers’s performance at Iota in Arlington, VA – By far one of the best shows I’ve attended.

A cover of Mississippi John Hurt?! That’s just too much…I can’t take it..I’m about to explode.

Thanks for the post. You made my day.
