Indie Music Spotlight by Middle Tennessee Music

While I’ve been caught up with other things, the submissions keep piling up. No better way to share more of these talented artists than through a top picks feature.

Dave Patten – Miss Liquor

One more time and you’ll quit her, right? That toxic relationship which has brought so many fun times, but you know it’s better to end it and move forward. Dave Patten delivers a blues and jazz styled tale of being caught up in that whirlwind where you keep trying to leave, but are pulled back into the beautiful mess. Wait, was this an ode to alcohol or a much deeper look at a twisted love, you listen and decide.

As the collective attention span shrinks, Eddie Canyon finds himself searching for meaning within the noise. Reaching into and around his Arkansas roots, Eddie carves a distinctively southern Hip Hop undercurrent in his exploratory approach to music. Weaving tales of battling addiction, thoughts on spirituality, and irreverent social commentary into his lyrics, Eddie aims to intrigue his audience at the least, and at most, leave them with a liberating degree of thoughtfulness. In his own words: “The Matrix is real, but there’s a way out.” Support on Spotify or Bandcamp.
