Ardent Presents: The Nadas

The Nadas are a rock/folk quintet based out of Des Moines, Iowa that has been recording and touring for almost 15 years. The band recently finished a yearlong project that resulted in a brand new album called “Almanac”. The intention of the project was to capture the year of 2009, one month at a time in album form. The band wrote, recorded and released a new song each month, every month, for the year. The outcome was a sort of “snapshot” of the year. This week on Ardent Presents we are excited to bring to you a set of stripped down versions of some of the bands most quintessential songs.

Ardent Presents: Raina Rose

Let’s say you took a female folk singer with the fierceness of Ani Difranco, minus the combat boots, added the calm lyrical beauty of Emily Saliers with a dash of new age spirituality and the sum would equal Portland’s Raina Rose. Her new album is called End Of Endless False Starts and was produced by John Elliott of The Hereafter.  She is currently strumming along in the more weather friendly hangouts of Austin when she is not playing hundreds of shows as she crisscrosses the country year after year. We are very proud to have her as our guest this week on Ardent Presents.
