Kelsea Little’s Personal Myth
After the first time I listened to this one, I woke up the next day (and the day after) with the melody for Blue Feather stuck in my head. I even found myself humming the tune as I went about my daily tasks. Typically this doesn’t happen so considering this is track 1 on Kelsea […]
The Jinxes Send Me A Sign
Any time I hear an acoustic guitar accompanied by orchestral instrumentation in a pristine mix, I feel great inside. The Jinxes must have heard my call for something a little different and refreshing because on this EP they definitely Send Me A Sign. When the disc ends with the song Send Me A Sign and I […]
The Heavy Guilt
The Heavy Guilt have delivered one of the most solid albums I have heard this year.

Optic Yellow Felt
Optic Yellow Felt first began its journey back in 1997 when the Nader brothers (born in Brazil but raised in the states), moved back to their homeland of Brazil. Being heavily influenced by the alternative rock scene in the US, songwriting became a natural part of the brothers’ lives. Optic Yellow Felt was officially formed […]
The Fire Inside David Sprague
It’s no coincidence that David Sprague titled his new album The Fire Inside. David is a true lover of music. When he picks up a guitar and starts to sing, dammit you listen. This young man and his instrument are a true expression of what happens when heart and soul speak through music. With catchy […]
