After Tonight Let’s make some introductions, shall we? Meet Justin Nozuka: singer/songwriter, musician, etc. Have you ever met before? Yes? No? Maybe? Okay, that’s why I’m here. First, we need to go back. Back to the year 2008, when Justin’s album Holly first hit the airwaves. More than just a singer/songwriter, Justin Nozuka is a soul…

Press Play Friday: Kate Walsh

“He keeps my heart between the light and the dark.” You might say I’m late to the game on this one. Of course, this happens a lot. However, after three albums and an impending fourth, I still find it hard to find someone who knows exactly who Kate Walsh is. This singer/songwriter (From Essex) sets…

Press Play Friday: Fresh Music 10/1/10

Artist of the Month: Jack’s Mannequin – Dear Jack

Artist of the Month: Jack’s Mannequin wraps up today. Let’s celebrate this amazing artist! Dear Jack, Wow. It’s been a crazy month. We went behind the music in all cheesy VH1 fashion. We listened to your music (Parts 1 and 2). I might have gotten a little over-dramatic as we examined your lyrics and listened…

Press Play: Classic Rock – Supernatural Style

3 more days until the season 6 premiere of Supernatural! We continue Supernatural Premiere Week with a very special Press Play. Music plays an intricate part in this show.

Artist of the Month: Jack’s Mannequin – The Music (Part 2)

“I’m writing you a symphony of sound” No. You’re not seeing double. We continue Artist Of The Month with more music from Jack’s Mannequin.

Artist of the Month: Jack’s Mannequin – The Music (Part 1)

We continue Artist Of The Month with the music of Jack’s Mannequin. Part 1 A musician is more than an artist. A musician is someone who puts their heart and soul into their music. They create every detail. They compose a symphony of song. They write their own music. It’s not about money or fame….

Press Play: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

We’re going ‘Home’ When you first press your ear to that oversized or undersized headphone and hear the radiant sounds of Edward Sharpe, you feel as if you’ve been transported into another time. The 60s’; a generation centered around an ad agency with less than moral characters. Wait. That’s Mad Men. The 60’s; a time…

Artist of the Month: Jack’s Mannequin

Jack’s Mannequin. Do I really need to say anything more here? “I consider myself a person like everyone else, and I take my time writing my records because I feel like it captures more of who I am. You have a much greater chance of hitting on themes and points…that could play into someone else’s…

Press Play Friday: Marcus Foster

Our featured artist this week is newbie Marcus Foster As you start to read this, some of it might seem familiar. It might sound really familiar. But, rest assured, I’m not repeating artists. Marcus Foster is . . . Marcus Foster. Any similarity to another favorite Press Play artist (*cough* Bobby Long *cough*) is merely…

Press Play Friday: Fresh Music 8/20/10

It’s time once again for some new music While researching this Press Play Friday, I had a little trouble. Apparently, I haven’t gotten any new music in a while (Gasp!). I know. How can this be? I have a deeply rooted music obsession that requires me to have at least one new song per week….

Press Play Friday: Charlotte Sometimes

Sophomore artist Charlotte Sometimes is in the spotlight for this Press Play Friday “I want to make sure that whole emotional connection is in each and every word and in each and every note of my songs, because if that’s not there, then what’s the point in music? Music is supposed to transport you somewhere….
