Daytrotter has been impressively mining Austin talent for a couple of years now, ever since connecting with Sound Team back in the day to set up at their Big Orange studio for SXSW. While in town, Daytrotter makes sure to record as many local acts as they can, and have also been welcoming to a number of Austinites touring through the website’s Midwest home base. Case in point of how tuned in to the local scene Daytrotter remains is this weekend’s posting of Leatherbag’s recent set. The band recorded four tunes, all of which are excellent, and we posted up an mp3 of the unreleased tune “Maria” below. It’s a haunting, lovely tune, hearkening back to Leatherbag’s earliest songwriting sound with shades of both Springsteen and Townes Van Zandt.
Daytrotter has a ton of great sessions up right, including recent sets from locals T-Bird and the Breaks, Black Joe Lewis, The Boxing Lesson, and so, so much more!
