Garret T. Willie release epic new rock/blues track, Love Hangover

June 16, 2023

Garret T. Willie is an old soul that you have to check out. The rock and blues guitarist truly channels classic blues and rock with his music. He has just released his new track, Love Hangover and it is epic! Garret commenting about the new song, “That’s one that Parker really took the lead on. He was, like, ‘I wanna write a really good, radio-ready banger.’ So I said ‘Okay, let’s do it.’ He started playing me this drum loop that, I swear, he just ripped from Gary Glitter’s ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll’ and I looked at him right away and he said ‘Don’t fuckin’ give me that look, just riff over it. Just trust me on this.’ So I kept trying and trying and trying and playing this and that, playing this and that, this and that, until finally I gotiff, the one that’s on the record. And then he said ‘I like that. Do it again.’“The song is about this one Muse, I guess you could say, that I had at that point in [Read More]

Black River Delta release new video for “California Sun”

April 20, 2021

Black River Delta is back with their new album “Shakin’”. It will be out June 4th via Sofaburn Records. With their new song “California Sun” the band delivers the third single from their long-awaited third studio record. Frontman Erik Jacobs on the new single: “California Sun” is a track that has been with us for quite some time. We started writing it a few years ago and it has been through a few stages before it was finished. We recorded drums and guitars in Malmö, Sweden, and then continued with bass in Los Angeles. Mid-recording we took a break and went on a road trip. Even though we’d always seen this track as a ”car song” we hadn’t written any lyrics for it. So we were actually driving down Highway 1, probably going too fast and listening to rock songs way too loud on the radio. And that experience was the last piece of the puzzle, that was what ‘California Sun’ was all about.” “The idea for the music video was easy, we would just [Read More]

Black River Delta release new song “Shakin”

November 5, 2020

Black River Delta, the swedish Alternative/Blues/Rock-band, reports back with their new single ‘Shakin’, which also comes with a brand new video: The song is available on all streaming platforms. You can also find it on the EA Sports NHL21 soundtrack. “Shakin’ arose from the desire to, with the help of two distorted guitars, tell the story of a man, who leaves everything behind to find his luck far away from home. Just to find out, that maybe he left it behind. Sort of a ‘the grass is always greener on the other side’-story, accompanied by fuzz-guitars and heavy drums. Black River Delta is an Alternative rockband from Bollnäs, Sweden. So far they released two studio records: “Devil On The Loose” (2016) and “Vol. II” (2018). The raw Blues-Rock-sound of the band is influenced by classic Blues legends like Robert Johnson, the raw style of R.L. Burnside and modern artists like The Black Keys, Gary Clark Jr. and BRMC. Their ability to join old Blues with modern Rock led them to several tours through Europe and [Read More]

Touring vocalist Jessie Wagner’s new solo album will lift your spirits

October 9, 2020

Allow me to introduce you to the powerful and soulful vocals of Jessie Wagner. The popular touring singer (Lenny Kravitz, Chic, Duran Duran, Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul) and frontwoman for NYC rock/soul band Army of the Underdog has just released her debut solo album. The diverse 11 track album, Shoe’s Droppin highlights her soulful, bluesy vocals that are rich in emotion and depth. You can’t help but let her take you away on a musical journey of songs that share her triumphs and pain. The album is a musical gem and it will feed your soul and lift your spirits. Jessie explains about the album, “It’s exciting to stand alone and see if anyone connects with (it). I’ve had some of these songs with me for years, but I was always waiting for the right time to put them out. It’s scary, because this is my voice, my words, just me. It was cathartic to get out some of that anger and sadness, but there’s also the presence of faith that it will all get better.” [Read More]

Dropkick Murphys, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls and Jesse Ahern live in Munich

February 25, 2020

Boston’s finest, Dropkick Murphys, have been on tour through Europe for about three weeks in February. The last stop on their tour was Munich. As was to be expected, the show was sold out and the Zenith filled to burst. They brought along Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls as a special guest and the solo artist Jesse Ahern, who started out the show. Jesse Ahern started off in subways and later barrooms in Boston and beyond as the singer/songwriter for The Ramblin’ Souls. The band had its ups and downs and finally broke up in 2009. Since then he reformed the band again and they played shows from time to time. In 2013 he released his first collection of songs as a solo artist. He performed an acoustic set, just his voice, guitar and harmonica. In itself, it was a great performance, but it’s really a hard task to get a crowd that big going. He did a good job, but I think the atmosphere would’ve been better in a smaller venue. Next on [Read More]

April 11, 2019

Music for us, has always been the thing that keeps us going. Whether we are having a bad day and need a song to lift us up, or whether we are having a good day and turn to the music to celebrate. In good times, bad times, all times, music is always present. What is even more magical, is when you can listen to new music for the first time and you can truly feel the emotion and passion that comes with each song. It brings you closer and draws you in for a musical journey through the music. That is exactly what happened the first time I played the new CD NY2LA by Raspin Stuwart. Raspin is an amazing musician/singer/songwriter that brings to life soulful blues in his new CD. The album starts right off with one of our favorite tracks, Down Low. It feeds your soul with low down good blues. His title track NY2LA is an infectious jazz track. Throughout the album, you are greeted with horns that create the perfect full [Read More]
