How about a sneak peek at what our local star, Matt Nathanson has in store for us on his new album? Matt has been feverishly working on his new album which will be out this summer. I can’t wait for them to do some shows and hit the road. I have been getting my MATT withdrawals and they aren’t pretty, believe me! I need to get to one of his shows soon to keep my sanity at a a bare minimum. Today Matt debuted his lyric video for his new song, “Mission Bells”. I love this video since so many places are so familiar and to see Matt having fun in the studio is another bonus. This song also has one of my favorite lyric lines… “”I’m the end of the Hitchcock Movie, A little dark and a lot Confusing”… I LOVE THAT!! Matt does it again with his catchy lyrics and smooth vocals. Also Matt will be at SXSW 2013 and you can catch the dates on his website. So now go enjoy the new [Read More]

While She Waits heals with their song “Face Behind the Gates”

March 11, 2013

Music. Music is so many things to me. Music inspires me. Music energizes me. Music heals me. Music touches me. So many times in my life, whether they were good or bad, I can always remember that Music was right there to be part of it and to be my cheering section or my support team. My true friend has always been Music. I am so grateful to have Music in my life. Today I wanted to share with you a special time in my life and how music again, is there for me. I had the opportunity to listen to a new song by one of my favorite new bands, “While She Waits“. The song is “Face Behind the Gates”. I listened to it and was truly mesmerized by it. It brought me to a special place and to remember a special person. It was even more eerie because after I listened to it, I reread the post about the song and how it was written by the singer James Ryan Cole and was [Read More]

Love and a .38 delivers new music with “Just a Woman”

February 20, 2013

Well they did it again! One of my favorite bands, Love and a .38 released their new song via a free download and it blows my mind again. They really seem to deliver just what I am missing these days. Their new song “Just a Woman” has such a bluesy classic rock sound to it and I just fell in love with it instantly. It has a great chorus that makes me want to cruise out on the open highway with no worries and my Love and a .38 turned up loud! They are playing this Thursday, 21st at the Roxy in Hollywood. You can still get tickets here at TicketWeb. It is a show that we are so sad to miss! We tried to rearrange my schedule and tried to find someone to cover my time with my Mom but we had no luck.

February 12, 2013

Majestic Beauty Wrapped in Music I have a wonderful treat for your ears. It is the majestic beauty wrapped in music by Marie-Claire Berreen. When you think of some of the best female vocalists like Barbra Streisand, Sarah McLaughlin, Tori Amos, and Leigh Nash, you think of powerful voices that can reach within you and touch you with warmth. That is what I feel when I listen to the classical folk music by Marie-Claire Berreen. Marie-Claire’s voice is like sunshine brightening the sky. you can’t help but feel the warmth from her words and they leave you feeling sun kissed. She has a wonderful CD of her beautiful music titled, “Box and a Ribbon” that will take over all of your senses. The first song is “Honeypie” and literally is the perfect way to start off the CD. You are warm and open and feel her welcoming embrace. It is like that long lost friend coming to greet you again and feeling like you never left their side.

Will Turpin and The Way perform a first rate show on Stageit!

February 12, 2013

I had the pleasure of watching my first Stageit concert last week and it was an awesome one. Stageit provides live broadcasts of performers and you get a front row seat right to watch it all without even leaving your house. It was a great experience and even more so since it was Will Turpin and The Way performing the complete song list from The Lighthouse as well as a couple extra surprises. Will Turpin, known for being the amazing bassist for one of my favorite rock bands, Collective Soul. I have probably seen Collective Soul over 25 times and I look forward to many more shows of theirs in the future. With Will’s solo project, he embarks on a journey of incredible song writing and plays multiple instruments and vocals. His style reminds me of Ben Folds, Jason Mraz, and Paul Simon. He in no way imitates since his own style is a fusion of all the best and he is truly a talented musician that shines through his music. It is wonderful to [Read More]
