Two Story Melody interviews Melissa Erin about one of her latest singles, “Settle on Down,” calling it a “soft-spoken and reflective ballad”
A soft-spoken and reflective ballad that features only an acoustic guitar and Erin’s stirring vocal range, “Settle On Down” is a fitting song to play in the background as you sit back and contemplate the exacting rollercoaster ride of the past few months. Tackling a mix of issues that range from economic worries (“You’ve been working all your life, and you still got those bills to pay”) to social unrest (“There’s static in the air and there’s fighting in the streets”), and existential dread (“Your friends are movin’ on, and the moment slipped away”), Erin continuously reverts to the same mantric exhortation to “settle on down.”

Here’s what the music press is saying…
“A Harrowing vignette. … Grapples with a universal truth that evolution has not yet alleviated.” – American Songwriter
“If you’re looking for a moment of catharsis … look no further.” – Cowboys & Indians Magazine
“Like The Replacements and The Hold Steady, Shmitt can wave any rock banner he wants. This ageless rocker holds nothing back with lyrically scalding vocals and tough guitar solos and riffs.” – Glide Magazine
“Stuffy channels Lou Reed, Tom Waits, and even a little Mountain Goats. Easy going… and extremely dark.” – Punk News
“Lyrical poetry. The verses are a disorienting swirl of imagery—fast cars, drinks, baseball—it feels like a patchwork of America over the past decades. There’s a timeless feel to it, like it’s an artifact from a time gone by, but at the same time being contemporaneously relevant. It’s quite a feat.” – York Calling
“A madcap tour through the folds of Shmitt’s charmingly off-kilter brain, Stuff Happens runs the full spectrum of manic depression in glorious stereophonic sound.” – Nashville.com
“Raw, heart-crushing, gorgeously written and produced.” – Viral Sound
For Folk’s Sake interviews Marco North of Martin Ruby about his debut LP, Heaven Get Behind Me, calling the songwriter “balanced and emotive”
“I used to watch Gunsmoke with my little brother who is only 14 months younger than me. We beat the shit out of each other all the time. I sent him to the hospital once covered in blood. About when I was thirteen we somehow understood we were two sides of the same coin. From then on, we had each other’s back. He had some tough years, and I thought we might lose him. It was like I was going to lose part of myself.”
