It’s been a crazy week. We saw Dons of Disco again on Monday night, and it was even better than it was when we saw it in February at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival. Tuesday and Wednesday we spent as a PA on set with Nina Storey on a video shoot for a proposed pilot, before heading out to Highland Park Bowl for Americana Nights with Nicki O’Neil, Manda Mosher and Emily Zuzik. Thursday was rehearsal for my Fringe solo show, and a chance to review the Fringe show Human Fountains. Friday we reviewed up and coming artist Casey Ahern at the Mint before spending the weekend in San Diego with family. Watch for reviews of the music events this week.
NEW SINGLES
We kick things off this week with some EDM that will make you want to get up and dance the night away. Clinton Tarantino has given us a glorious dance beat and we are sure you’ll be screaming, “Don’t Stop”all night long.
Next up is the powerful sound of Titus Calderbank, who reminds us of a cross between Adam Levine and Ryan Tedder. We love this powerful song and think it could be a huge radio hit. Check out “Mistakes.”

Our third single is a slow R&B jam that will heat up your senses with the sweet vocals and bad-ass rhythm of Chanel Lóran on her single “Pretend.” This one is smoking hot.
Our next single is the latest from punk-infused rock act The Band Gooch. This one has great potential for a radio hit and we love the rocking sound of “Stuck with You.”
Our final single this week comes from rock goddess Hanna Barakat ahead of her upcoming album being produced by Disturbed’s John Moyer. it is an intense journey that describes love as “Damage Done.” Please let us know what you think about this one.
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Our first video this week comes from LA Music Critic Award winner Diana Rein, and she shows why she is the “Queen of My Castle.” Her version of the blues will lift your spirits and we simply love every note. Can’t wait for her completed album. We really love her new look.
Next up is the latest from folk/Americana singer-songwriter Franc Cinelli. The cinematography is amazing, as are the words and vocals of “Horses.” This one has great potential.
Our third video has all the charm of Jimmy Buffet with a little taste of Bob Marley and is beautifully shot at the beach. Check out “Lawnchair” by Shawn Perry. Let’s party.
Our fourth video is much more serious and talks about the status of our world today. We love the simplicity of the video, which allows the words and vocal delivery to drive their message home. Check out “Dangerous People” from Pete Gardiner.
Our final video this week is from hard-rock band Take the Day, who is looking for someone to “Save me Now.” This one will get you week off to a rocking start.
