Tim Hart ‘A Number Of Us’

July 16, 2012 by Lachy 0 Comments

I’ve been a fan of Tim Hart’s solo music since I saw him open for Sufjan Stevens last year.

Whale Fire are a band from Little Rock, Arkansas, and they have a new album coming out in the near future. I may not know a whole lot about them, but from what I’ve heard they make nice indie folk/rock/pop/whatever music that flows easily and sounds completely natural.
