DAY 14 of the 30 Day Song Challenge, alternative music styles!

Who doesn’t love a cover song??? Especially when it’s BETTER than the original?

This one should be real good today - time to fire up the Spotify! Can not WAIT to see what y’all got. The hard part is picking just one or two!

UPDATE - Started a Youtube Playlist of your picks!!

Each day I’ll post the challenge and you share some of your favorite alternative & indie songs that meet the challenge!

Did someone say bluegrass Radiohead covers? Chris Thile/The Punch Brothers have you covered. Here’s a few selections. They have more if you dive into youtube.

Iron Horse’s bluegrass Metallica covers are also fantastic.

Pickin’ on Modest Mouse is pretty damn good, too.

Dark Center of the Universe works surprisingly well as a bluegrass song.

Yes. The fast-paced vocals work perfectly for the bluegrass style

@kvn Bluegrass works so well for some reason, my favourite Bluegrass cover is Thunder and Rain - Sweet Child o’ Mine (2018)
