In the Sting issue, I saw a pic of an issue with Ryan Adams on the cover, and on the website, there is a pic of a cover with Norah Jones on the cover. Perhaps these are upcoming issues?
From what I know about these acts,
Kathleen Edwards, Jesse Malin and the Waifs fall into the alt-country category, where a vast majority of fans tend to be 25-40. Not old.
Ben Taylor, I think, tends to appeal to the John Mayer crowd...early 20's, not old.
Howard Tate is an old blues/soul guy...that stuff typically appeals to listeners of all ages.
Ghazal is an Iranian/ world music type. Not my thing, but world stuff seems to appeal to people of varying ages.
Jason Moran appears to be a jazz guy. I don't know enough about modern jazz to comment on the audience.
Four Tet are an electronic outfit from London. Doesn't electronic stuff usually appeal to a younger crowd?
The Moles are an Australian chamber pop outfit that allmusic compares to the Bats and the Chills...who are definitely not "old people music".

because I am an individual and can do what I want, within the law, of course. Perhaps you can make pigeonholing music a crime?
But there is a lot of Jazz and slow country? If old people dont listen to that, what is it doing in this mag? who does?
There is only the one issue of the mag. [/b]
