Virtuoso bassist, bandleader, and vocalist Robert Miller and his band Project Grand Slam have long since established themselves as one of the foremost bands in the modern music scene. The band’s work crosses multiple genres. Miller and his cohorts tackle rock, covers, originals, fusion, and other styles with convincing zeal. The band’s latest single “I’m
Mama Proud is the heartwarming and soothing new album from Annette Adler. Blending the magic of Folk music with classic Americana Mama Proud is an album that will get you moving and memories stirring. Adler has always found a way to keep music in her life no matter what point she’s been at in her
Robert Minott will have you longing for love with his rendition of “I Want To Know What Love Is.” The track is off Minott’s upcoming album BIG Things, releasing in the near future. Minott has been making music since 1991 and has worked alongside artists Burning Spear and Shaggy. Various songs of Minott’s have topped
I’m sitting here listening to “Too Late Again” for the umpteenth time. Normally I wouldn’t be giving this much gravitas to a new single – after all there are only so many hours in the day and new singles hit YouTube or Spotify on a daily basis. The new single from sisters Trisha and Thara
With “All My Love” and “Tomorrow Never Comes,” Morten Nygaard established a certain following that doesn’t happen from quality songwriting or even decent performing on their own. When he sings these two singles, he gives us an opening into his soul that is hard to replicate when you don’t have the caliber of talent he
Modern blues as a genre and concept feels less tangible with every passing day; in 2022, the blurred lines of any genre delving into rock instrumentation generally get slapped with the broad descriptor of “alternative” and the powers that be at radio stations, etc., call it a day and move on. For modern bands to
The beat is big and insistent in the title cut from Brooke Josephson’s new EP Showin’ Up, but while its thrust is intimidating in comparison to what I’ve been catching up with among the other players in her scene lately, it’s only lighting the fuse in this white-hot track. Josephson’s vocal is pure and melodic, but
Pastoral themes have never been completely absent from rock n’ roll, but every once in a while there’s a songwriter who knows how to incorporate their influence in a way that changes – however fleetingly – the game for their contemporaries. Corey Stapleton & The Pretty Pirates are pretty fresh on my radar, but in
Atlanta’s Jordan Asher Armstrong’s rebranding as The Great Lands steers the singer/songwriter in a Neil Young/Bob Dylan-inspired direction. Open ears, however, will hear strands and smatterings of other voices as well. The Great Lands is far from a tribute act or imitation, however, and the proof is where it should be. In the songs. 1400 Piedmont,
Ronnue established his brand as one of the more reliable in the Northwest underground not too long ago after a string of popular hits on the indie circuit, and in his new role as producer for up and comer Lisa G. Allen, his legacy of detail-oriented craftsmanship only gets stronger. Allen is a formidable vocalist
There are scores of singer/songwriters making headlines with provocative material at the moment, but of those who have come up on my radar this spring, few have intrigued me as much as Pete Miller does with his debut single “A Light out There.” Among the qualities that this single boasts are a black and white
Ora Nadrich’s new book is titled Mindfulness & Mysticism: Connecting Present Moment Awareness with Higher States of Consciousness. As the title would suggest, the book encapsulates a distinctly Eastern-influenced, Buddhist and meditative set of spiritual practices, presented by Nadrich in a refreshingly straightforward manner. ABOUT ORA NADRICH: https://www.oranadrich.com/ There’s never a sense she’s trying to
From the retro pop balladry of “Above Water” to the more buoyant melodies of “Calling My Angels,” Alex Krawczyk has a lot to share as a singer/songwriter in her new album Le Olam. Her voice is the guiding light through the darkness – represented by the absence of indulgence behind her – and there’s rarely an
Easy-going country music tends to pair well with the spring, and in his debut EP Written in Whiskey, singer/songwriter Larry Jay presents us with the cool n’ simple solution to the first rays of a new season. Written in Whiskey is a record built upon its carefree swing, both balladic and sterling in nature, and although it occasionally
Delivered with a passion that can’t be faked into existence no matter how dedicated the player might be, Corey Stapleton’s vocal leads a charge toward climactic bliss in the new album Sea Change that is unlike any other you’re going to hear this spring. Rather than approaching this debut LP with the same formula a lot of
Rosie Dean’s already working diligently on a follow-up but her EP debut All Grown Up isn’t your typical pop fluff. This is a driven human being behind these songs who, before the age of thirty-five, helms her own multimedia corporation as Chief Operating Officer of CK Productions and its branches, a prestigious Drama degree from New York
You don’t have to be a music critic to get swept away by the simple strengths of the main harmony in Ryte EyE Ty’s new single “Where Have the Heroes Gone” this March, but for those who take a special interest in the kinship between artist and melody, this is a must-listen track for its
The fourth single from AV Super Sunshine’s album ARTROCK (Victor House Records) is out now – “Judas” is inspired by one of Jesus’ 12 Apostles. Tragic as the story is, AV Super Sunshine challenges and wins the listener’s approval with this sobering pop track. Even those words seem to be in opposition to this chilling song. While
Bernadett isn’t interested in conforming to what you think a violinist’s role should be. Her connection with this mainstay of classical music extends far past the borders of that form and possesses the necessary versatility to successfully incorporate a wider sound. The two recordings included on her release Redemption aren’t rock, classical, or any easy
“When the Sun Comes Out” has all the makings of being one of the most riveting songs to be inspired by the pandemic. Vienna, Austria’s ViennaCC captures the positivity and the anticipation of coming out from the lockdowns, emerging from one’s home to a world ready for renewal. Between the quirky beats and the snappy
I always frown or grumble a little when I read some supposedly sage article about how hip-hop and pop have likely displaced rock’s cultural currency. They say no one under the age of thirty-five cares about three chords and the truth, the style long ago succumbed to its artistic limitations, there are no rock stars
Rob Alexander has never shied away from the big grooves in pop, and his new single “Yesterday’s News” is decidedly one of the more rhythm-oriented works included on his latest album. Powered by a funky guitar part that doubles as the perfect accessory to the percussion, this is Alexander’s most beat-happy song to be released
There’s been a staggering number of interesting new rock songs debuting through the pandemic, and while it hasn’t done much for the live concert circuit, this has started to feel like a new era for studio recording. Throwing their hats into the ring as a rock band this spring are FiveDFit, whose new single “Super
There’s a lot more soul in modern country than there was in the output of previous generations, and this goes for country-rockers as much as it does the folky country crooners. Matt Westin and Tennessee Outlaw Country are taking the rock-influenced path with their smashing new country single “Ghost Train” this March, and to say
With a name like Lady Redneck, you know her music is going to be as pure country as it comes, and she doesn’t fail to deliver in her new single “After the Rain, You’ll Find the Son.” Supported by its dedicated Christian lyricism, “After the Rain, You’ll Find the Son” is quite an inspirational song
Originally from Los Angeles, 3B Rich now plies their trade in Las Vegas, as a Jackson 5 tribute act. The Motown Extreme Show is their day job, but their real passion is their impending record. Much like The Jackson 5, the brothers that comprise 3B Rich come from a musical family. Their father was also
Super excited to have YoYo Nagase with us today. Welcome. You just released another great single. Tell us about it and why did you pick this one as your next drop. Thank you so much for having me! I chose to release “Daydreaming” as my latest single because it had a certain energy that none of
Determination is required to make it in the pop genre, and really any form of music today, and when listening to the new single “I Decided” from President Hill, it’s clear that this is an artist who has what it takes to break out of his scene. Although defined by certain aesthetical insularities that very
