Post To Wire is a blog dedicated to the different strands of Americana music. We publish reviews, interviews, news and multimedia content from alt-country, folk, blues and rock ‘n’ roll artists from Australia, New Zealand and around the world.

After establishing the music website Doubtful Sounds I found that I was also driven to develop a secondary blog focusing exclusively on Americana music. A life long Neil Young obsession was the initial spark that led me into a musical world that included the likes of Wilco, Richmond Fontaine, Ryan Adams, Hank Williams, Karen Dalton, Nick Drake, Will Oldham, Jason Molina, Lucinda Williams, The Felice Brothers, Loretta Lynn, Gillian Welch, Lambchop, Howe Gelb, The Band, Drive-By Truckers, Townes Van Zandt and many, many more. This is music that is heartfelt, emotionally rich and sonically thrilling, from the most ramshackle hoedown to a single plaintiff guitar and voice it is music that speaks both to and from the soul.
