TransAtlantic Acoustic Show
Heart of the Night Show
The TransAtlantic Acoustic Show brings you Folk, Blues, Alt Country, Bluegrass, and even a classically structured guitar or piano tune once in a while. Whatever the genre, it is always acoustic.

Hosts Sam Salter (UK) and jill no jack (US) try to keep the silliness to a minimum, but they freely admit it is a goal at which they sometimes fail. They feel extraordinarily contrite about this but have no plans at this time to change their ways.
The Heart of the Night Show features Rock, Pop, Contemporary Folk, and music from other genres when it fits with the show. If it's great music, Jill is likely to drop it in!

Host jill no jack claims she is always in a "midnight frame of mind". Not really being able to decipher what that means, we have decided she probably means that she is really, really tired. Despite that, she always does her best to play great Indie tunes.

  Heart of the Night Show, July 8th, 2008
POSTED BY: jillnojack 08 Jul 2008 01:56 AM

The Heart of the Night Show returns from hiatus this week with songs from several new and fabulous CD releases, two new excellent female artists making their debut, and the same tired old DJ (was that woman *ever* cool????)

This week's subliminal message (really, it's subliminal, you barely notice it, right?) -- Go pick up the Sound Put CD by crashtv at CDBaby.com. This alarming act of consumerism will not do a darn thing for world peace or starving children in the third world, but it will put some absolutely fab music in your ears!

This week's playlist:

crashtv - fingernail -- Sound Put at CDBaby -- Sound Put from iTunes

Daniel Iorio - Hike (from the soon to be available Hike CD!)

Lizzie Nunnery - Hungry -- Hungry EP or single songs from iTunes -- EP from CDBaby.com

Headlights on the Coastline - A Striking Display -- Chandra Lier EP from iTunes

The James Clark Institute - Monstrous - SideShow Unattraction from CDBaby -- from iTunes

Megan Paige - Secret from the Megan Paige Demo 2008

That's it for this time. I hope you enjoy the show as much as I enjoyed putting it together for you!

  Encore Episode: TransAtlantic Acoustic from February 13th, 2006
POSTED BY: jillnojack 25 May 2008 02:44 AM

As far as I can recall, this was the first show Sam and I released from the IndieHeart.com site. It wasn't our first show altogether, mind you...previously we had a "beta" version of the show from the original site Sam and I both DJed for. This was just the first show where we finally got the production values nailed down fully. It's really more difficult than you might image to produce a show with co-hosts who have never met and live in entirely different countries. For those of you who around back then (and there were very few), we hope the repeat performance is a pleasant one!

The playlist:

David Elias - Red Tail Guide -- Crossing CD from CDBaby.com (This is one CD you will want to have in high quality audio...it just sounds amazing!) -- CD from iTunes

Midnight Sweethearts - Wishing Well (You can download the full CD for free on the Midnight Sweethearts page

Wry Dawn - GGTGRG

Anne Davis - Journal Entries -- CD from CDBaby -- CD or single song from iTunes

Dan Tindall - No Fear -- Dan's CDs at CDBaby.com -- The Dan Tindall CD collection from iTunes

Ross Crean - Emily -- This Too Shall Pass CD from iTunes -- CD from CDBaby.com

That's it! We hope you enjoyed the show, and, as always, we hope you will help support your favorite IndieHeart artists by exploring the options to purchase a CD or your favorite song. Having a bit of dosh from their efforts helps keep the independent and unsigned artists you hear on the show solvent enough to continue making fantastic music for you!

  Encore Episode: TransAtlantic Acoustic Show, November 13th 2006
POSTED BY: jillnojack 03 May 2008 12:34 AM

Let me tell you, the biggest drag about listening to all of the old episodes to pick the best ones to send out as encore episodes while Sam and I take a bit of a break is having to site through all of that nonsense again. I think I was particularly sleepy and incapable of pronouncing the English language with any degree of accuracy in this one. The music's great, though :-)

This week's playlist:

Guy Michetti - You're My Home -- CD at CDBaby.com -- CD at iTunes

Ady Ferguson - Getting Better -- CD at iTunes -- Get the full

Tim Tibbits - Monica -- Portraits CD from iTunes -- CD from CDBaby.com

That's it! We'll have another couple of encores before we return to getting together live with new music. We hope you're enjoying the repeat shows but miss us just a little bit :-P

  Encore Episode: Heart of the Night Show, August 8th, 2006
POSTED BY: jillnojack 01 May 2008 12:23 AM

Tonight, I'm bringing back a show from late 2006. It has such a terrific mix of music! Several of the artists are those I've loved playing for years, but sadly, we have not had enough new music from them to be able to drop them into the shows as often as I like.

Without further ado, the playlist:

refrag - Madness

Carly and Mark - Dreamin' Of -- CD on the "About" page at carlyandmark.com

LoadPuller - Tug of War

Tim Tibbitts - Tell Me -- Portrait CD from iTunes

Melissa McClelland - White Lies (Stranded in Suburbia) -- Get the CD free with a trial subscription to Emusic.com on the Melissa McClelland page.

Daniel Iorio - Atisha's Lamp -- Get a second great CD from daniel iorio & ecclestone with your free Emusic trial subscription!

Misanthropy - Wheel

jill no jack - "Pop Princess" by Circle of Friends with jill no jack vocals

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


That's it for this encore! I'll try to get another one (with a little less jnj) up for your listening pleasure next week. As always, lots of love and appreciation for listening in!

  Heart of the Night Show, April 17th
POSTED BY: jillnojack 17 Apr 2008 02:22 AM

It's true, the Heart of the Night Show is also going to be taking a short break, with "Encore" episodes filling the gap until it returns in June. I sincerely hope that the terrific music in this episode tides you over until I return with new shows.

I'm just so tickled about this episode's exclusive track from crashtv. I'll try not to gush and just say that I dig their music. I hope you do, too (and you can even gush, if you'd like). Heart, from crashtv's upcoming CD, Soundput, is not available on the site, but you can hear lots of music from crashtv's previous CD until the new CD is released.

Of course, there's lots of other terrific music, but do you want to read or listen? The answer to that seems pretty much like a no-brainer to me. So, without further ado...

This week's playlist:

Our Funeral Forgotten - Whiskey & Wine -- CD from CDBaby -- CD from iTunes
crashtv - Heart -- Machinecod CD from CDBaby.com -- Machinecod CD from iTunes
Paul Liddell - Brighter Lights -- New Thing Coming EP from iTunes
Moby.MK.II - Escape Artist
Certain Stars - Slow Down Quickly -- Wired for Sound CD on iTunes -- CD from CDBaby.com
Headlights on the Coastline - Kerosene -- Chandra Lier EP from iTunes

That's it! I'll start posting those episodes of the show from the golden days (seriously, they're from like the '30's or 40's...back when I was cool) next week. Stay groovy until then!

  TransAtlantic Acoustic Show, April 13th (#60)
POSTED BY: jillnojack 13 Apr 2008 11:46 PM

This is our last show until the end of May, which may or may not be a benefit to the audience. We'll actually be showing off more music than usual as we post an "encore" episode each week from the archives of 2006. We apologize to those of you who have already heard the shows, but we think that our newer listeners may enjoy the blast from the recent past.

As to this show...it contains terrific music! Can you believe it? Heh.

This week's playlist:

Dan Tindall - Guns and Sand -- Folks Underground CD from CDBaby.com -- CD or song from iTunes
Our Funeral Forgotten - Whiskey and Wine -- CD at CDBaby.com -- Get the song from iTunes!
Ceili Moss - Ship of Fools -- Glad to See You Well CD from iTunes
David Elias - Not Another Moment -- Check out David's available CDs -- David Elias' music at iTunes
Christopher Martin Hanson - Mediterranean Nights -- Songs in MP3 format at SongPlanet.com

Well, that's it - encore episodes on the way (I'll post the playlists here since our show playlists don't go that far back...we never want to make you struggle to locate more music by an artist you enjoyed!) I'll be goofing off until the end of May, trying to get my life caught up with my responsibilities instead of having fun with Sam. That just doesn't seem right somehow.

  Heart of the Night Show, March 2nd (#65)
POSTED BY: jnjadmin 02 Mar 2008 07:22 PM

Here in the frozen American midwest, I find myself grinding to a halt through the last of the winter months. Lack of motivation hits me hard every year around this time. Despite that, I've managed to put together a nice show for you, I think. I even managed *not* to fill it with listless, ruminating songs of doom and despair. I'll save that for some time when I'm feeling much more perky.

This week's playlist:

Athens - Lucia -- Philosophers CD at CDbaby.com
Daniel Iorio - Ain't Got You
Pointbreak Spy - ...Who Killed 007?
Braintoy - Vehicles
Ginja Roe - On the Run -- Polished CD from ginjaroe.com
Tom McKean and the Emperors - This Is The Year

Keep warm!
