Shining the spotlight on Dez Money and his new release I’ll Be There For You

October 15, 2020

We are ready to shine the spotlight on Dez Money as he releases lyric video for his infectious new track, I’ll Be There For You. Dez is a Los Angeles based singer/songwriter and musician who has been surrounded by music his whole life, being the son of the iconic rocker, Eddie Money. We had the great opportunity to catch Dez play with Eddie in his band several years ago. During those shows, Dez opened up and played some of his own music and we were instantly drawn to his style.  His music brings to life an indie/alternative rock vibe, complete with compelling lyrics and emotionally driven vocals.  Check out his new track here: Make sure to visit the social media sites and stay up to date on his latest news.

Shining the Spotlight on Steve Kilbey and his new solo album, Eleven Women

October 9, 2020

Steve Kilbey released a new solo album in September and it is a must to listen to! He released Eleven Women, a collection is at once whimsical yet personal. About the album, The album leads us through a shimmering whirlwind of encounters. After the disarming love song ‘Baby Poe’ we are plunged headlong into the dark world of ‘Doris McAllister,’ an evil witch who takes us ‘by the bells’. We are regaled by the Celtic wistfulness of ‘Josephine’ as she forbiddingly awaits her ‘wine & roses’ while ‘Birdeen,’ a greedy lorikeet with a sweet tooth, beguiles us with infectious bounce & color. Eleven Women is full of melodic invention & lyrical surprises. Singling out tracks for special mention is frankly impossible since this album consists entirely of highlights. Amongst these however the timelessly beautiful  ‘Think of You’ shines brightly. This song has the unmistakeable stamp of eternity & evokes a sense of having existed since music began. Kilbey released a video for his song, Sheba Chiba and it truly captures his signature vocals and compelling lyrics.The video brings to life a nostalgic retro vibe. Check out the video here: The [Read More]
