Vinyl Tap Gets Outside
Smokey mountain campfires. Cicada season. Mulched leaves return to the earth under your hiking boots. Someone brings out an acoustic guitar or a battery powered radio. What do they play? What is the sound of a folk summer filtered through the misty mountain haze of nostalgia? The Fall 2023 issue of Vinyl Tap sets out to answer the call of the outdoors.
Whether you be a granola girl, a camp kid, or any kind of lakeside lover, bring your experience of the great outdoors to print. Writing in any way about music that embodies those ideals is encouraged: nostalgic, authentic, folky, acoustic, reminiscent, individualistic, or rejuvenating. Always welcome are discussions of music in nature, music about nature, or music defined by nature.
