Tomorrows brings to life alternative rock

January 18, 2014

There is a great Alternative Rock band that you have to check out. They are called Tomorrows and is the work of brothers Jack and Jim Ivans. Their live musicians are Cullen MacDonald on Guitars and James Tan on Bass. I love my alternative rock and San Francisco in the ’90s seemed to give me an abundance of alternative bands to listen too, that just isn’t so true these days. But now with the find of Tomorrows I can revive my love for alternative rock! Tomorrows is from New York City and this year, you will definitely be hearing a lot more from them.They bring to life pop/rock with an alternative edge. Their songs have emotionally driven lyrics and melodies that just grab a hold of you. They are releasing a full length album, The Code Duello which will be out later this year. I recently have fallen in love with their first single of their upcoming album, “Heartbreakers“. Check it out here: “Heartbreakers” has some fierce guitars, catchy chorus/hook and lyrically tells a great story.Their [Read More]

“Play from the heart.” Inspiring words to live by Dean Zimmer

January 17, 2014

If you ever doubt yourself or think you can’t do something, then it is time to take a look at the amazing work of Dean Zimmer. People may know him as the handicapped drummer who answered a “Drummer Wanted” Ad. After watching Dean play, there is no way I could describe him as handicapped or disabled, because he truly can do anything he wants. It just may take a bit longer. Dean was born with a rare congenital disorder but that has not stopped him from pursuing his dream of drumming. Film makers Ross Harris and Stanley Gonzales wanted to share the story about Dean and they directed an inspiring video to share his story. You can check it out here: When you watch him play, you are in awe as he moves around and just brings his music to life with his drumming. What an inspiring man, Dean is. When asked about his playing, he just simply replies, “Play from the heart” and he does that beautifully with his unique drum style. I hope I [Read More]
