A musical cosmopolitan and smooth shifter between the stylistic worlds, the Swiss by choice with Indian roots now presents with his fifth longplayer "Talking Loud" probably one of the most multifaceted albums of the year!</p><p>Coinciding with the worldwide release of “Talking Loud”, Ajay is releasing his latest single “Real”, a song from the album.</p><p>“Real” ISRC: USHM82163488 UPC: 196835439082</p><p>"Real" is optimistic, humorous, positive, and encourages us to rethink who we are in the real world. Who are we when we step out of the social media filter of our lives? How authentic are we in the real world? As the song says, finding the answers to these questions could be quite amazing.</p><p>“Real” written by Ajay Mathur & Mary Lou von Wyl</p><p>Published by Ajay Mathur Music</p><p>Registered by SUISA</p><p>The “Real” music video, upbeat, teasing and witty, has an attitude and is shot in real locations like Venice Beach and downtown LA. It reflects the sunny spirit of the song - the only unreal character in the video is the person asking the question 'are you real?'. Genius."</p><p>Ajay Mathur does not allow himself to be pressed into any stylistic pigeonholes. Instead of limiting himself to just one genre, the charismatic singer and musician lives out his almost childlike joy of experimenting and exploring. If necessary, even despite all the fast-moving trends, which he counters with his timeless and yet contemporary mix of styles. This artistic self-confidence and self-understanding has already been demonstrated by Ajay on his previous albums "<span color="inherit" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">A Matter Of Time</span>" (2011), "<span color="inherit" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Come See Conquer</span>" (2013), the Grammy-nominated "<span color="inherit" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">9 to 3</span>" (2015), as well as "<span color="inherit" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Little Boat</span>", released three and a half years ago, which was named "Germany's best English-language album of 2018" by the German Pop Foundation. All albums not only generated excellent reviews in international media, but also earned Ajay Mathur placements in the US Top 50 Rock charts, the US Top 80 Independent charts, the US Top 50 AC and Americana (AMA) airplay charts, as well as the European Indie Music charts (where he remained for no less than 128 uninterrupted weeks), as well as well-meaning comparisons with legends such as Jackson Browne, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Tom Petty, Leonard Cohen or the Beatles.</p><p aria-hidden="true"> </p></td></tr></tbody></table>Kenneth Howard Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08736807469113567683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5136324325808425308.post-72486181538751496812022-03-28T10:07:00.001-07:002022-03-28T10:07:41.399-07:00Bandcamp Weekly<p> </p><div role="banner" style="background-color: white;

The band performs under the musical direction of Salvadoran songwriter, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, "Jazzy" Jorge Gavidia Morales; and features a handpicked selection of top musicians from Toronto's Latin, jazz, and reggae music scenes. Jazzy Jorge is Cachada's composer, arranger, and primary lyricist, but the band also features lyrical contributions from "Pato Irie" (cajon) and other members. Cachada always performs a repertoire of strictly original music that fuses hip hop, reggae, and a touch of jazz into their original cumbia sound, creating one of the most explosive new Latin bands to hit the streets.<br /><br />Cachada's songs are a reflection of the Latin American diaspora in Canada and the United States. This can be heard clearly through the musical arrangements with the fusion of cumbia (El Salvador and Colombia's national music) with hip hop, reggae, and jazz harmony. Two of the band's members Jazzy Jorge and Dilly Nolasco grew up and came of age in Toronto's notorious Jane and Finch Corridor. The neighborhood and the influence from its large Caribbean population can be heard in songs like Hermano Jamaiquino (Jamican Brother), and Mi Barrio (My Neighborhood).

("So you're from the city?" "No." "So you're from upstate?" "No." "So you're from Long Island." "...No.") </p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What inspired you to get into music?</b> I've been writing songs in some form or another since I was about seven, and I loved a lot of children's poetry--Shel Silverstein, Robert Louis Stevenson, and my all-time favorite, Dr. Seuss. But it never occurred to me that being a singer and songwriter was something I could just do, right now, even though I wasn't cool or famous or older. Then I saw a little feature in Scholastic News about a band called Hanson, three brothers, aged 16, 13, and 11, about my age, and they had been playing music together for a few years already and had just signed with a record label. Something clicked in my brain when Hanson became big. Seeing kids my own age, writing and performing their own music, talking about their process, and actually being successful at it, was incredibly cool. And in interviews and their home videos they just seemed like fun kids to hang out with, zany and messy and un-glamorous just like me and my friends. So I don't think I quite realized that their level of success, at that age, was not ordinary or realistic for most people. But you're not thinking like that when you're young. You live in a world of possibility, a world of, "well if they can do it, why not me?" I think the reason I stuck with it is because that feeling, the excitement of possibility in spite of improbability, stuck with me into adulthood. </p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Do you play any instruments?</b> I can read music and plunk notes on a piano, but I have not become proficient at any non-vocal instrument. I used to play guitar to a mediocre coffeehouse competency level, but after developing fibromyalgia several years ago, my hands became very weak and easily exhausted and I can't really play anymore. I keep meaning to get one of those ChordBuddy contraptions that all the snobs make fun of so that I can slowly build my strength back up and actually be able to accompany myself even if I'm not feeling my best physically. Because it really does hold me back when I always have to find someone else to accompany me. </p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What is a songwriting session like for you?</b> There is no one way to do it, but it's worth noting that my best work always comes when I'm forced to exist in the absence of internet distractions. I've "written" entire songs behind the wheel of my car. I came up with one of my all-time favorite hooks while I was in college working as a dishwasher at the dining hall. I wrote the first version of "Half of My Life" by candlelight during Hurricane Sandy when the power went out. It was the most cliche thing you could imagine. I was working multiple jobs and spreading myself way too thin just to distract myself from the situation that the song is about, but when I had no choice but to sit in the dark with my feelings, they all came flooding out.<br /><br />There are a few co-writes on the upcoming album too, including "Starving Artist," which started off as kind of a campy, tongue-in-cheek song, but in the middle of recording it, my producer Gabe said out of the blue, "you know, this would be a lot cooler in a minor key" and it completely transformed the song. It still has some camp and some cheek, but it's also a genuine anthem now and I like it better that way. My vocal producer Garek, who's an accomplished singer/songwriter in his own right, improved upon a lot of my work by demanding more brevity and more strength and straightforwardness in the lyrics. If he thought that a lyric was half-assed or clunky, he always made me dig deeper, and it was frustrating but very worth it. Sometimes just removing a few extra syllables makes all the difference. </p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Have you toured a lot in your career?</b> Sadly, no. I've always had practical concerns and survival jobs holding me back, the classic catch-22 of having a career in the performing arts when you're not independently wealthy on the side. But one of the silver linings of the COVID-19 pandemic is the increased availability and normalization of remote work. I now have a great job as a Medicare insurance agent that is fully remote, pays me a living wage, and has benefits, including travel benefits! So since I'm no longer tied down to one place by a survival job, touring is definitely a goal! </p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What is your local music scene like right now in NY?</b> The best and worst thing about the performing arts scene in New York, in non-pandemic times, of course is that it's absolutely saturated. The best thing is that it's an abundance of riches. You want to see a choir singing Haydn? A jazz quartet? An avant-garde lo-fi band? A hip-hop freestyle troupe? An opera? A Broadway musical? An African drum ensemble? Just some talented amateurs slaying at karaoke with their friends? It's all here. But the worst thing is that nobody ever has enough time or money to see it all. So if you want people to come to your shows, simply being excellent isn't enough. A pigeon poops on an excellent singer every day in New York. You really have to build relationships with people and get them excited about you as an individual, and you have to reciprocate that excitement. You can't waste energy comparing yourself to others or trying to be better than them. You have to let other people's work inspire you instead of threaten you. Luckily, that part is easy for me because I am surrounded by incredibly kind, generous, wildly talented people in every direction, and the day I stop getting giddy with excitement about that is the day you can just put me in the ground because there's no point in living any other way. </p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Do you ever write for other artists?</b> I haven't written anything that's specifically been for someone else, but I have a lot of songs that don't quite fit the sonic aesthetic of the album I'm working on and might be better-suited to someone with a different sound entirely. I have a whole folder of lyrics called "unintentional country songs." Maybe Carrie Underwood should sing them. </p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What is your true love, acting or music?</b> That's sort of like asking whether my true love is coffee or caffeine. Could I theoretically have one without the other? Yes. But I don't. Same with acting and music. Even though they are technically different disciplines, my acting and musical theatre training always went hand-in-hand with my work as a singer/songwriter. They coexist symbiotically in my artist brain, and I've never subscribed to the preposterous and frankly classist notion that those two worlds must always be separate. Historically, they never were separate. And thanks largely to musicals like Hamilton and TV shows like Glee, we're getting to a place where people are realizing that they don't have to be separate. Music and acting are both forms of storytelling. You can have one without the other, but the storytelling component is the same. I guess you could say that my true love is storytelling. How's that for a circuitous mixed-metaphor answer? </p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Tell us about your latest project.</b> I had big plans to finish and release my full-length album in the fall of 2020. But we all know what happened in 2020. I was still able to release the three singles, which did pretty darn well for themselves in spite of my inability to perform live. But I think I speak for a lot of creatives when I say, 2020 changed the trajectory of what I thought I wanted as an artist. The album that I would have released before the pandemic isn't quite going to be the album I release, hopefully, prayerfully, this year. It's going to be less about me and more about everyone else. It's going to be less "brand" and more "human being." It's going to be more positive and more confident even in moments of vulnerability. I know I'm being cryptic. But that's what I can say! </p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What can we expect from you in the future?</b> A lot more musical theatre now that theaters are starting to open up again. A lot more writing about growing up as an un-diagnosed autistic and conversations about disability rights in general. I have a lot to say about that, especially after becoming a Medicare agent. A lot more pictures of my cats, too.</p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://ashleywool.com/" style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; color: black; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.17s ease 0s; vertical-align: baseline;">https://ashleywool.com</a></p></div>Kenneth Howard Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08736807469113567683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5136324325808425308.post-10654039062214040092021-11-10T17:35:00.003-08:002021-11-10T17:37:18.456-08:00Joyce Grennan<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNy5bX456yNc0K9Y9rbv0CSmXPtgFA3YxSsIK9Y3Fp_GYiMpczQwHZ1vwPHm8Gbb4Sv8FwSVNdOjFaiRAT9kiW3ZjY8W72PG4E63Ejjk0T79OwMeTdbWzaopL8OTYIUToPQfxl_eMIZw/s2048/289165-Joyce_Grennan.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNy5bX456yNc0K9Y9rbv0CSmXPtgFA3YxSsIK9Y3Fp_GYiMpczQwHZ1vwPHm8Gbb4Sv8FwSVNdOjFaiRAT9kiW3ZjY8W72PG4E63Ejjk0T79OwMeTdbWzaopL8OTYIUToPQfxl_eMIZw/w383-h383/289165-Joyce_Grennan.jpg" width="383" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><span style="text-align: center;"><span face="Pontano Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white;">Joyce Grennan</span></span></p><p><span face=""Pontano Sans", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Artist Biography</span></p><div class="section_text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Pontano Sans", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; height: 370px; margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 10px; overflow-y: auto; width: 690px;"><p><span style="font-weight: 600;">Joyce Grennan a Canadian Artist/singer/songwriter</span> who has been on Canadian radio and internet radio around the world.

It is an act of censorship for domestic ends, and an effort to define Chinese culture and project a controlled version of soft power on an international stage.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.25em;">Hip-hop’s explosion into mainstream Chinese culture came in the summer of 2017 when a reality TV show, <em style="font-size: inherit;">The Rap of China</em>, thrust hip-hop artists to prominence. Hailed as <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-china-blog-41236746" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px -2px inset, rgb(169, 178, 191) 0px -3px inset; text-decoration-line: none; text-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) -2px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) -1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 2px 1px 0px; transition: all 300ms ease 0s;" target="_blank">a game changer</a>, the first series garnered 2.94 billion views. The show was influential and viral. It was not only the music but the culture which gained sway. Words such as <a href="https://www.thebeijinger.com/blog/2017/07/04/chinas-internet-satirizes-its-pop-idols-asking-do-you-freestyle" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px -2px inset, rgb(169, 178, 191) 0px -3px inset; text-decoration-line: none; text-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) -2px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) -1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 2px 1px 0px; transition: all 300ms ease 0s;" target="_blank">“freestyle”</a> used by the show’s stars quickly entered the vernacular and became the subject of top-trending hashtags, memes, and catchphrases on Chinese social media.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.25em;">But in recent weeks, the show’s co-winners, Wang Hao and Zhou Yan (whose stage names are PG One and GAI, respectively) have faced a campaign of public criticism and condemnation in state media for promoting drug use and misogyny.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.25em;">China’s top media regulator has subsequently <a href="http://time.com/5112061/china-hip-hop-ban-tattoos-television/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px -2px inset, rgb(169, 178, 191) 0px -3px inset; text-decoration-line: none; text-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) -2px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) -1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 2px 1px 0px; transition: all 300ms ease 0s;" target="_blank">banned</a> hip-hop culture and tattoos from screens. The top regulator Gao Changli has urged producers not to use “tasteless, vulgar, and obscene” actors, among other stipulations aiming to clean up media content. This has amounted to a crackdown on the hip-hop scene.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.25em;">This is one part of a long-standing Chinese Communist Party campaign to control the influence of hip-hop on youth culture, as well as to prevent it from becoming an established mode of political resistance. In 2014 Xi Jinping laid out his vision for arts and culture in China, <a href="http://www.chinafile.com/reporting-opinion/culture/xi-jinping-whats-wrong-contemporary-chinese-culture" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px -2px inset, rgb(169, 178, 191) 0px -3px inset; text-decoration-line: none; text-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) -2px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) -1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 2px 1px 0px; transition: all 300ms ease 0s;" target="_blank">saying that</a> imported art forms such as hip-hop should only be adopted “if the masses approve” and if the foreign art form has “healthy progressive content”. A year later, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-music-censorship/silence-is-golden-china-tightens-screws-on-online-music-idUSKCN0SY19120151109" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px -2px inset, rgb(169, 178, 191) 0px -3px inset; text-decoration-line: none; text-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) -2px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) -1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 2px 1px 0px; transition: all 300ms ease 0s;" target="_blank">the majority of songs</a> on a banned a list of “morally harmful” songs were hip-hop, showing that controlling lyrical content, particularly hip-hop lyrics, was considered a social issue significant enough to warrant regulation.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.25em;">The domestic crackdown also has global implications for China’s international soft-power efforts. Since Hu Jintao called for “cultural soft power” to become a key national initiative at the Seventeenth National Congress in 2007, China has pursued soft power as a state-led public diplomacy effort.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.25em;">The Party has chosen traditional (pre-Communist) Confucian culture as the “Chinese” product deemed <a href="https://www.economist.com/news/china/21719508-can-money-buy-sort-thing-china-spending-billions-make-world-love-it" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px -2px inset, rgb(169, 178, 191) 0px -3px inset; text-decoration-line: none; text-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) -2px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) -1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 2px 1px 0px; transition: all 300ms ease 0s;" target="_blank">suitable for foreign consumption</a>. Back in 2014, Xi Jinping <a href="http://www.scmp.com/comment/insight-opinion/article/1624554/xi-jinpings-call-political-art-evokes-bad-memories-cultural" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px -2px inset, rgb(169, 178, 191) 0px -3px inset; text-decoration-line: none; text-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) -2px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) -1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 2px 1px 0px; transition: all 300ms ease 0s;" target="_blank">said</a> that traditional Chinese culture is the lifeblood of the nation, an important source of core socialist values, and “a foundation for China to compete in the world“.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.25em;">This state-sanctioned culture which sells China abroad is at odds with the culture represented by Chinese hip-hop artists, such as Higher Brothers, who ostentatiously flaunt wealth and expose the excessive, intimate, darker underbelly of life in contemporary China. What’s more, China’s officially sanctioned traditional culture also lies in stark contrast to hip-hop’s global identity as a genre of music that is part of urban culture, <a href="http://foreignpolicy.com/2009/10/12/its-a-hip-hop-world/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px -2px inset, rgb(169, 178, 191) 0px -3px inset; text-decoration-line: none; text-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) -2px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) -1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 1px 1px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 2px 1px 0px; transition: all 300ms ease 0s;" target="_blank">from Shanghai to Nairobi</a>, and plays a key role in many different linguistic and ethnic communities.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.25em;">As Beijing tries to develop its cultural soft power and gain greater international influence to match and sustain its rise in hard power, it has greater impetus to curate and control cultural products and what it deems to be “Chinese” (read: CCP-sanctioned Han, Mandarin-speaking dominant) culture.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">By regulating the hip-hop scene domestically, Beijing is not only working to preserve its domestic stability and cultivate positive public opinion, but is also impeding the rise of unofficial artists in the domestic market and stopping that culture from reaching billions of screens. The effect is that a natural evolution of hip-hop culture is nipped in the bud before it can self-disperse and gain traction abroad.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Kenneth Howard Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08736807469113567683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5136324325808425308.post-29671370639653258582020-12-25T10:34:00.001-08:002020-12-25T10:34:04.323-08:00This Week on Bandcamp<p> </p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="x_wrapper" role="presentation" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

<span style="font-family: "pontano sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px;">“Diverse Music with a Hard Rock Edge,” or "Diverse Rock" sums up Eric Val’s music career. This hard rock solo artist comes from Williamsport, PA, that was influenced by bands like Sevendust, Shinedown, Marvin Gaye, Garth Brooks, Eric Clapton, Stone Sour and Seether. He has a classically trained voice that helps him propel his sound and style far above the rest. His writing style is as unique as his voice. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "pontano sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "pontano sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px;">With the release of the debut album ‘3 Year Struggle’ August 31, 2012, the world got to see a small taste of what Eric is all about. With 13 original tracks, it is available exclusively at ericvalmusic.com, along with itunes.com, amazon.com, and cdbaby.com. The album demonstrates his diversity, honesty and passion for his music. The first two singles ‘High Above You’ and ‘Pull Me Under’ showcase his pop sensibility and the rest show the diversity.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "pontano sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "pontano sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px;">The next recording was released in September 2013 debuting the rock/pop single ‘Beauty Queen’. The song exemplifies a mixture of heavy guitars, groove drumming and smooth vocals. Another single was released, ‘If You Only Knew’, in July of 2014, and comprises a mixture of acoustic guitars, electric solos and fast paced drums. Then in 2015, came Beautiful Lie a mixture of rock, country and classical music with a smooth melody and voice. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "pontano sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "pontano sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px;">The sophomore album My Gift, My Curse, released on November 18, 2019. In short, it the most diverse rock album ever, featuring 14 different musicians playing over twenty different instruments on the album. Ranging from rock and metal influence to classical and country tones. The first single Tragedy will start it off and is released. A mixture of rock, country and classical music with haunting lyrics and melody. It is dedicated to the ones we've lost, the ones left behind and the affect it has on us. Inspired by the people we've lost due to suicide and drug overdoses.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "pontano sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "pontano sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px;">All the proceeds from the song will be donated to the Recovery Awareness Connection, an organization dedicated to recovery of those with drug abuse and mental illness. Two other singles have been released as well groove metal melodic My Own Hell and jazz rock fusion The Past. Along with the singles Slow Decline an R&B, Rock and classical piece and hard rock tribal Faded Memory. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "pontano sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "pontano sans" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px;">As for what's next? On Monday, April 13, 2020, Granddad's Lessons, a country-rock single mixed with a touch of classical, will be released. Featuring killer country music musicians Roy Peterman (Peddle Steel) and Richard Rupert (Fiddle and Mandolin) with a touch of diverse rock. Then comes the Rock Country with touch of Classical tune Saying Goodbye, coming out May 18, 2020. Always working, always creating, there will be more.</span></span><br />
