Day 5 of our 12 Days of Vocalists goes to Tom Keifer

December 19, 2014

Day 5 of our 12 Days of Vocalists goes to one of my favorite vocalists of all time, Tom Keifer. You just can deny that Tom and his signature vocals are absolutely amazing. His voice was not only the featured vocalist on the playlist of my life in the 80’s and 90’s but is back again in the spotlight. Tom’s solo album, The Way Life Goes brought him once again to the forefront with his beloved voice. His highly acclaimed solo record, The Way Life Goes has had him busy touring for the past two years. If you don’t already have it, do yourself a big favor and pick it up. It is filled with rockin tracks featuring his beloved signature vocals and emotionally driven lyrics. It truly takes you on a musical journey highlighting emotions and heart felt songs while satisfying your need for rock. Even though Tom suffered some vocal setbacks over the years, you would have never known since his voice can deliver the power notes of his Cinderella hits with as much as [Read More]

Day 4 of 12 Days of Vocalists is for Danny Worsnop

December 18, 2014

Here we are on Day 4 of our 12 Days of Vocalists and for this day, we highlight a very special vocalist, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, We Are Harlot and solo artist. Danny is one of those of talented artists who can tackle any style of music and completely give it his own signature style. He kicks ass with Asking Alexandria where he can deliver some of the best growls and screams in the industry and then completely rocks when he sings for We Are Harlot. With his solo work, you wouldn’t even believe it is the same person as he takes you through emotionally driven songs with passionate vocals. I don’t think there is anything this man can’t sing and make it sound great. His powerful vocals have been in high demand as he continues to be featured on many bands’ songs. His versatility can have him singing country one day, emotional ballads, hitting some of the highest notes and he can transition right into the deep dark growls and screams. Amazing work!

December 17, 2014

Day 3 of our 12 Days of Vocalists belongs to Gerard Way! There is no doubt that he has has an amazing voice which blew us away during his years with My Chemical Romance. His image adorned the walls of many teens as he has an amazing way of connecting through his music. Earlier this year, he once again reigned in the spotlight with his solo career as he toured across the country to sold out venues in support of his album, Hesitant Alien. We caught him in San Francisco at the legendary Fillmore and it was one of the highlights of all our concerts this year. Gerard‘s stage presence is that of a dapper crooner as he took the stages in his fashionable attire and girls literally swoon over him. Gerard has brought to life the Britpop genre into his music and his infectious energy and style just might be the one to revive that genre in the music scene today. He completely grabs your attention with his performance. He has such an intense [Read More]

Day 2 of our 12 Days of Vocalists features Kiyomi Valentine of Hunter Valentine

December 16, 2014

Today for Day 2 of our 12 Days of Vocalists we would like to feature the amazingly talented Kiyomi Valentine of Hunter Valentine. This past summer many were first introduced to her sultry passionate vocals on the Make or Break: Linda Perry Project. Hunter Valentine, already had a very dedicated fan base before the show, as they were already familiar with the incredible talent that Kiyomi carries, but it was great to see them showcased on the show and open up an entire new fan base. I, for one was not familiar with them. Believe me, I beat myself up over not knowing them sooner. They had such a great refreshing honest sound, and from the first time Kiyomi sang, I was hooked. Kiyomi‘s vocals truly bring out her passion for music as she sings, she literally bleeds out her emotions through her songs. I love how she can switch it up from fun, flirty, aggressive, sultry, powerful, vulnerable, happy to sad. She has an excellent range that delivers rich tones and colors in her voice. As [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.

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]
