Press Play Friday: Broadway Melody
Dancing Through Life The Broadway musical – one of the many things I’m completely to extremely obsessed with. Please, don’t try to save me. It’s hopeless. I’m a lost cause. I don’t know what it is about those quintessential musicals. Maybe it’s the music; a story told in harmonies. Maybe it’s the fact that I…

Press Play Friday: Blind Pilot
It’s that time, again. It’s time for another Press Play Friday artist! I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to highlight this group as one of our featured Press Play artists. I’ve been listening to them since early 2009; their mix of Alternative-Folk making them one of my go-to artists for those unexpected midnight…

Album Review: Jason Mraz – Love Is a Four Letter Word
“It’s not hard for me to love you” Peace. Love. Happiness. Finding melodies that truly illustrate these words in their purest form can sometimes be hard to find. An artist willing to share their own story of success – to be able to achieve what we all desire in our lifetime – can be even…

Over the years, the classic film soundtrack has transformed from a simple score, to blockbuster musical numbers, to today’s popular…

All right. Please save your applause until the end. For…
