Artist Overview 2014

Hey guys!

What a year this has been! If you haven't figured it out yet - I'm a big fan of cheesy, nostalgic and very cheesy reflections.

This years "Best Of" posts probably showed it all too well.

110 acts have been featured on house in the sand this year!
 Last year we "only" featured 86.
Those 110 acts are from all over the world, the genres range from acoustic to rock.
Some are signed to indie labels, some to major labels and some are independent.

But there is one thing they all have in common: they work incredibly hard and are absolutely passionate about the music they make.
And I'm very honoured I got to introduce them to you.

I am also happy about how a lot of the artist and bands below have returned a couple of times for multiple collaborations. And some even became good friends.

Now here's the massive list of people featured in 2014. Feel free to check out who you're not familiar with yet. I'm sure it will be worth it. :)

Artist overview of 2013

 Hey guys,

this is officially the last post of 2013. It's the 176th I wrote in that year and it's an overview of all artists I've featured and worked with this year.

I thought it would be quite nice to list all of them again so you can scroll through and check those out you missed. 

The list is in the order I featured the musicians. You can find the genres in brankets next to the artist/band and if you click their names you will be lead to the article (which includes songs and links) about them.
