Deleasa releases new music video for Good People

December 16, 2014

Pop artist Deleasa has released a new music video for his song Good People as he  shakes things up while paying homage to his love of funk, pop and Motown. It is a great track that has a nostalgic seventies funk vibe that takes me back to spinning records in my garage with my older sisters. I would sit back and be their audience as the entertained me with music, giving me a good introduction to funk and soul with artists like the Commodores, Earth Wind & Fire, Spinners and so much more. Meanwhile, my older brothers would come in and take over with the Led Zeppelin and The Doors. No wonder I have such a love for all types of music!  This song from Deleasa takes me right back to that garage in the 70’s, check out the video here: ‘Deleasa released his first EP A Collection Of Sight & Sound Vol. 1 in December of 2012, showcasing his pop sensibility and love of organic musicality. Taking the time to perfect his craft, Deleasa [Read More]

Today we start our 12 Days of Vocalists and for Day 1 we are pleased to announce Bret Von Dehl from The Relapse Symphony as our featured vocalist. Bret has this certain quality when he sings, where he can so easily transfer emotion with each and every lyric.  He has a passion in his voice that shines through his music and is even more intensely  highlighted in their latest acoustic release, Shadows: The Acoustic Sessions.  Bret has a way of connecting to the listener as he invites them through song to join him on a musical journey that has no boundaries, no genre limits, just simply astounding music!   We had the pleasure of interviewing Bret earlier this year as we discussed his debut album release, Shadows, which is in our top list of 2014 albums.  It was amazing to find out the lengths that he would go to, even singing in the dark, to create an atmosphere that would insure bringing out the best.  Another extraordinary quality of Bret‘s, is his stage presence.  Bret is definitely [Read More]

We had the opportunity to chat with guitarist, Ruben before their set and are pleased to bring that interview to you here:   Their set at the Regency was brutal as they unleashed a heavy dose of metal to the immersed crowd.
