Haley Barnes isn’t a month into her freshman year at Baylor and she is already stealing the Waco music scene. Her charming voice that reminisces of Zooey Deschanel and Jenny Lewis turned heads and quieted the usually chatty coffee shop scene. Her sweet demeanor pairs perfectly with her delicate voice. Tonight she covered great tracks from Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Beruit, She & Him and even a little Johnny Cash. She was joined by Reagan Smith and together they created a memorable dent in “Common Grounds Open Mic Night”.

I’m really pleased to bring you this exclusive full album preview of Like Bell’s self-titled debut. The three piece instrumental group was formed in Cleveland’s Oberlin Music College and they definitely know how to layer a song. Most of the music being made by college kids these days is either super poppy or just pretty mindless dribble. It’s encouraging to see young guys who have some technical abilities and aren’t afraid to put the effort in to make music worth listening to; they mixed, produced, and engineered the album all themselves. Like Bells is an album that requires repeat plays to fully enjoy and really gets better with each successive listen.
Track 1) Atlas
