I was drawn in by their folk sounding albums, was delighted to discover their versatility into other genres!

I feel like this song sums up everything I like about MJ Lenderman. Great word play, funny lyrics, but also very heartfelt and earnest. Goes without saying that the guitar playing is great. Can't recommend it enough.

it's really good.
I saw MJ Lenderman wearing a t shirt with his name on it on his tiny desk concert and saved this album from a few years ago.
I haven't been able to put it down. Thomas' songs are open hearted and vividly drawn, dancing between hyper specific and gloriously universal. Wellswood steeps it's Americana-folk songs in a wide berth of influences, flavouring each with soul, grunge, indie, etc.
All Is Well is a beautiful blend of folk and RnB connecting the soulful essence of each genre flawlessly. Moon is another standout, a sprawling 7 minute nostalgic cowboy epic about the cycle of escaping and coming right back.
Wellswood is well worth your time. Check it out!

Why is this such a lost art? Bring together those friends that would never have met other wise. Make the people you love, love each other.
I recently had a small birthday wine n dine with my friends and anticipated awkwardness between my different groups of friends, but it was the complete opposite. God I love my friends and love making a space for them to mingle and laugh in eeeee. I think in a time where my friends and I are transitioning to adulthood and focusing on careers, this brings something to look forward to and a way to create a world outside of work and study.
