Many Folk singers probably think of themselves as some sort of philosopher, but most don’t have the credentials of Greg Loving. The Illinois native teaches philosophy at University of Cincinnati Clermont College when he’s not writing and playing Folks songs both alone and with his duo, No Consolation. Fear not — you don’t have to have your Master’s to enjoy Loving’s music, which is smartly written, clever and insightful, but not academically so, likely thanks to avowed influences like John Prine and Bob Dylan and an evident sense of humor that shines through in his writing.
Dig It: The young Shel Silverstein, Arlo Guthrie and Kris Kristofferson climb into a time machine, become one person, land in 2010 and continue reflecting society in song. (MB)

Bio
No Consolation balances Phoeve Reeves' silky vocals with Greg Loving's guitar and gravelly twang. Tight harmonies and true vocal collaboration set No Consolation apart from the rest. Don Peteroy adds the bottom end with electric bass, and Noah MacKenzie keeps the beat. No Consolation performs original music plus an eclectic range of cover tunes from Hank Williams and Kris Kristofferson to The White Stripes and The Decemberists. When you hear it, it's hard not to think Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. Or Dylan and Emmylou. Or anybody and Emmylou. No Consolation's album, Fodder for an Epitaph, and their single, Trump My Mind, are available on all download and streaming services.
