Bishop Briggs infectious new song will lift your spirits HIGHER

October 2, 2020

Personally, I have been in an absolute down funk for a while now. It could be the isolation that Covid-19 has brought, it could be smoke filled air we are breathing or maybe; that we are coming up on the 3 year anniversary of the Santa Rosa firestorm that took away our home. Whatever it is, my spirits have been in a deep dark zone lately. But whatever the problem, music is the solution. Bishop Briggs has always been my go-to artist for music that heals. We even talked about her mood elevating music back in a 2017 interview with her at the Fillmore in San Francisco. So it is no surprise that her latest release, Higher was exactly what I needed. The song captures her emotionally driven lyrics that bleed out raw honesty. Her vocals are powerful yet comforting, all the while providing a steady stream of energy that will lift your spirits. Her music will carry you like a hot air balloon, leaving all your troubles below and far away. Check out [Read More]

Praising the “addictive” track, Dancing Astronaut said, “EVAN GIIA’s soulful notes propel the single forward while a groovy house backdrop gives the single its flair, the bouncing notes twisting and turning as the vocals carry on.” Over the summer, GIIA headlined the Saturday night of Proximity/Brownies and Lemonade’s Digital Mirage virtual festival. The Brooklyn-based, Berklee College of Music alumna has performed at Firefly, Bonnaroo, Coachella, CRSSD and Los Angeles State Historic Park and shared stages with the likes of ODESZA, Jai Wolf and Big Wild.

Get ready to have the new debut album by Kelsy Karter on repeat!

October 1, 2020

Last year we introduced you to Kelsy Karter as one of our Spotlight Artists. From the first listen, we were hooked on the addictive music by Kelsy. She captured our attention with her straight up punch of rock n roll, that breathed fresh new life into the music scene. Kelsy has just released her debut album, Missing Person, and get ready, because you are about to have it on replay for quite a while! She describes her album, “These songs are a collection of my own personal stories in the key of rocknroll”. Earlier this year she treated us to her video for Devil on My Shoulder and we were instantly begging for more. She answered our demands with the release of Stick to Your Guns in July. The anticipation for the debut album grew once again. In September as everyone placed their pre-orders, we were far into our love affair for everything Kelsy Karter. She then delivered a video for her track, Love Me or Hate Me, a track that she dedicates “this is [Read More]
