What I’m Listening To, The Head And The Heart

The Head And The Heart hold very special memories for me. I first heard them when I was in France staying on a friend’s homestead. My friend Gonzo played The Head And The Heart’s song Rivers and Roads countless times on his tiny guitar and with his booming voice while our other friends chimed inContinue reading “What I’m Listening To, The Head And The Heart”

What I’m Listening To, The Vaccines

Let’s start the year off with some good music, shall we? During late spring of 2014 I beganContinue reading “What I’m Listening To, The Vaccines”

What I’m Listening To, Matt Corby

I first heard Matt Corby when I came across a video of him performing an acoustic version of his song, Brother, in a garden. I was immediately taken by his unique voice, gravely and gospel one moment, then clear and falsetto the next.

The Year of Music and Mountains

2014, the year of music and mountains. When the lineup for the Britt Festival came out earlier that year I could barely contain my excitement. This was the first time there was more than just one act that I was excited about and I was determined to see as many shows as I could afford.Continue reading “The Year of Music and Mountains”

What I’m Listening To

I recently came up with the idea to add a new “section” to this blog. Every month I hope to post about the music that I’m currently listening to, and hopefully I’ll be able to spread the word about different musical acts that you may not have heard of. This month I would like toContinue reading “What I’m Listening To”

Arctic Monkeys… aka My New Favorite Band

First off let me say that I am aware that AM came out quite a few months ago and for many loyal Arctic Monkey fans the songs have been ingrained into their minds, hearts, and even skin. I’m a late comer on the Monkey wagon and I did not get my hands on a copyContinue reading “Arctic Monkeys… aka My New Favorite Band”

The two of them do beautiful classical renditions of popular songs, from What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction toContinue reading “The Piano Guys”
