Worhol, direct descendants of Andy Warhol release teaser video for new symphonic rock album

June 28, 2017

Our Spotlight band today is a symphonic rock band featuring descendants of Andy Warhol. Worhol was formed back in 2013 when lead singer Worhol and her father Larry Worhol decided they wanted to follow their dream together as a team. They both had degrees in music and having a classical background gave them the foundation in writing their style of music; symphonic and theatrical rock. It works great and sounds awesome. Worhol are set to release a full length album, The Awakening on July 14th. Vocalist Ashley comments about the album, “This album is a chance for us as musicians to open up our hearts and souls to those who listen. We strive for a never ending mission to bring hope and truth back into this world. Through our music we will awaken people to a new era of music. An era that will lead them to their sanctuary.” ‘Worhol’s music can be best described as symphonic and theatrical with Larry being the guitarist as well as the orchestral composer and Ashley being professionally trained.

We are hooked on our spotlight band Carter Lou & The Project

June 27, 2017

Today our Spotlight shines on an amazing artist Carter Lou & The Project. Carter’s journey into music began with a bold decision after tragic circumstances. Carter Louthian was ready to set off to college and suddenly everything changed. The night before he was set to go to college, Lou snapped: his two best friends had recently killed themselves a day apart, and his girlfriend had just broken his heart. Combined with the reality of the packaged post-college suburban life he was heading toward, he felt even more emptiness. He boldly told his parents that he wasn’t going to university in the morning and has chosen to pursue music instead. Since then, the band has packed out numerous headlining shows and earning a prestigious endorsement from PRS Guitars. It truly reminds me of two of my favorite quotes: “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson “Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” [Read More]
