Places, Faces, Embraces – The Jazz of Taylor Watson
Taylor Watson is quite the accomplished musician. Allow me to get his credentials out of the way first. Leaving Oberlin College after studying jazz guitar and political science (with a semester in Spain studying Spanish music), Mr. Watson moved to San Francisco and formed the jazz group Cafe Con Leche. He then found himself making […]
The Smith III
Dalyk, Jalyka, and Alyk Smith, aka The Smith III, have been displaying musical talent since a very young age. No matter how hard their mother pushed academics, she could not stop her little ones from expressing their love of singing and music. Once it became obvious their talent could not be held back, their parents decided […]
Local Spotlight: Holley Maher
Thanks to Bullhorn Publicity for sharing. To create this record Holley teamed up with veteran Nashville-based producer Chris Grainger (Wilco, Sixpence None The Richer, Switchfoot, Kopecky Family Band) and electro-pop singer/songwriter Kyle Andrews. Together the three of them created a five-song EP that incorporates some new electronic elements into Holley’s characteristically acoustic songs while still […]
Morning Fame Cast Away
You might remember our review of Morning Fame’s previous release, Back and Forth. This crew of fine musicians have returned with their new single and video for Cast Away. The first major change is Dan Carrett on bass. The second thing I immediately noticed was more grrrrrr…. Grittier bass tones backed by the beautiful pounding […]
Amos Got Soul
Dave Plaehn has one damn fine set of pipes. This veteran to the independent music game has walked many paths during his career. One thing is for sure, Dave Plaehn can sing his heart out and his harmonica playing does a great job at keeping up with that standard. Let’s look at where Dave has […]
Joshua Worden is Always This
Joshua Worden‘s music is the sound of some serious love making. Get ready for the “slow burn” because this smooth songwriter delivers an electrifying blend of jazz, R&B, and pop music that hand over the keys to your favorite lovely lady’s soul. Seriously, I already know what’s going to happen when I let my wife […]
A Separate | Divide Encapsulated in a Liquid Casing
Liquid Casing is what happens when Miles Davis teams up with Mars Volta to run Russian Circles around Mogwai during a Godspeed You! Black Emperor performance. What the hell does that even mean? This music is EPIC. Imagine a wall of sound taking your body hostage while precisely crafted lyrics begin to create a divide […]
Unknow You – Brother and Co.
Brother & Co. is a Boston-based band led by identical twin brothers Josh and John Pritchard. The band’s sound combines contemporary American folk music, ambient music, art rock, and post-rock. Brother & Co.’s debut full-length album Unknow You is inspired by album-oriented, popular rock music of the 1970s and 80s. Each of the record’s eleven […]
Fade To Black – “G Street Panorama”
“Panorama” is a good word to describe the latest album from a band with over twenty years of experience (ok they took a decade off). Fade To Black’s “G Street Panorama” is almost an enigma of a a record. As it opened up, the first sounds I heard reminded me of Cream or Led Zeppelin, […]
