The songs featured on this collection are taken from the various projects released over the years by Tara Jane ONeil, Dan Littleton, and Elizabeth Mitchell. My wife and I have been fans for a long time, and love the fact that our daughters are now also listening (Abby’s first concert was Elizabeth Mitchell at the World Cafe!). It was so hard to narrow down the playlist since every record is so great, so I decided that this will be just the first of several podcasts to feature these bands. Here are 14 mellow acoustic amazing songs that you’re going to love. Buy these records and support these bands so they can continue making such great music.

This collection has been archived. Send me an email if you are interested in hearing it (mike@6forty.com).
