This morning, I was watching a SoFar Sounds video featuring Begonia. Her performance was so perfect that I wondered if she was lip-syncing. She’s not. Begonia is just perfect. When I listen to her, I’m reminded of Dusty Springfield. Her voice isn’t as raspy but there’s that old school soul vibe happening. When she sings,Continue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Begonia”

Interview with . . . shallow pools
This interview with shallow pools went swimmingly. We talked about taking risks and sharks.

They will be making waves on a national level with the release of an EPContinue reading “Interview with . . . shallow pools”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: Starchild & The New Romantic
For the past week, I’ve been trying to write a review for Language by Starchild & The New Romantic. The writing has been going – or hasn’t been going, really. There have been distractions, like naps, trying not to sweat, Prince videos, Netflix and more Prince videos, etc. I will just tell you what IContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Starchild & The New Romantic”
Warped Tour ’18 Photos: Sharptooth
The biggest disappointment of Warped Tour was not being able to find the line for the Sharptooth tent. Motionless in White played immediately after Sharptooth so the crowd . . . omg . . . . so many people. Sharptooth kicked ass. Every time I turned to make sure my Warped Tour Buddy wasn’tContinue reading “Warped Tour ’18 Photos: Sharptooth”

Julia Jacklin, Elizabeth Hughes, and Ryan K Brennan are friends who have a love of music and plant puns. We’re like peas in a pod. Who doesn’t love a good pun? They formed Phantastic Ferniture on a lark when they were all becoming a little bored with their other musical endeavors. Jacklin, Hughes andContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: Phantastic Ferniture”
116 Days of Summer Guests: Sweet Leda
On most days, I would see photos of Sweet Leda on Instagram. They must have a photographer following them or one of the band members doubles as band historian. Anyway, after some begging and pleading, Sweet Leda agreed to do a guest post. So welcome Julie of Sweet Leda. Oh hi! How are you?Continue reading “116 Days of Summer Guests: Sweet Leda”
Interview with . . . Loah
If you haven’t watched Loah on YouTube, there’s still time. Her songs are difficult to categorize – except for the awesome category. Apparently, Loah has been doing some acting so maybe we’ll see her on the big screen. Until then, there’s still YouTube. Where was your first concert? Either as a performer or a fan.Continue reading “Interview with . . . Loah”
116 Days of Summer Guests: Scott Waldman
Once in awhile, someone from the music industry – not necessarily a musician but could also possibly be in a band on their day off- makes an appearance on this blog. Scott Waldman manages artists and producers because someone has to bring people together to make the magic in the studio happen. So he hasContinue reading “116 Days of Summer Guests: Scott Waldman”
Sleep Deprived Music Review: SixxPho
Dude, I may have gotten way in over my head. Honestly, I have to admit that while my taste in music varies from punk to NeoSoul to Americana, I don’t listen to rap very often. When I was younger, I sure did watch MTV Jams and Yo! MTV Raps almost every day. OneContinue reading “Sleep Deprived Music Review: SixxPho”
