Glad to be back at home after a wonderful vacation with my family in North Carolina. We had a great time visiting with our family there, learning more about our ancestry and looking at homes for our forthcoming move. We’ll keep you informed as details firm up, but it looks like we will be settling in Scotland Neck in Halifax County, about 30 miles outside Rocky Mount.
Indie artists have been super busy creating amazing songs and videos, and we are overjoyed to be able to share some more with you today. Enjoy these gems.
NEW SINGLES
One of our favorite LA indie artists is back with another new song. We have known Shannon Hurley for more than 20 years, and she keeps getting better. Between her solo work, her work with Lovers & Poets and her artistic endeavors, she continues to show that indie music is the best music in the world. Check out “Where we Belong,” and hop on board the train that never stops.

Our next single comes from a long-time indie artist who gained fame as the songwriter of one of The Dixie Chicks‘ greatest songs, “Wide Open Spaces.” Susan Gibson is back with a truly uplifting song that is so perfect for today’s pandemic climate. Check out “Compassionate Combat.”

Our third single is a danceable tune that will get you toes tapping and your body aching to head out to the dance floor. We have never featured her before, but with this release, we are head over heels for the music of Katie Welch. Take a trip to the “BLVD” and enjoy.
Next up is a rocking country tune that features perfect harmonies and powerful lyrics from four amazing ladies who call themselves Highway Women. This song should be headed to the top of the country charts and usher these ladies into the big time. Here’s “Dead Man Walking.”

Our final single this week is from an entirely new artist to us that is unlike any we have heard before. He goes by the moniker of Trunky Juno and his music is dream pop with a rhythmic beat. His song speaks of abandonment and feelings we all have when life is just unbearable. Check out “Daddy’s Gone for Cigarettes.”

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Cindy Alexander continues her cavalcade of hits from her forthcoming album While the Angels Sigh with the release of the breathtaking video for “Broken but Beloved,” featuring amazing choreography that perfectly captures the essence of this heart-wrenching ballad. This one will stay with you long after the song ends.
Next up is the latest from Rachel Lorin. This time around she covers the stirring Linkin Park song, “Numb,” breathing new life into the powerful lyrics with an emotional performance that truly brings this song to life.
Our third video brings new meaning to the term “one-man band.” In the first video for his forthcoming album Solitaire, Ted Russell Kamp plays all the instruments in this moving tribute, “My Girl Now.” This one will be pleasing to everyone who loves great Americana/folk music.
Next up is a timely video for our favorite time of the year. “Wait for Spring” is a visually stimulating lyric video that showcases the talent of Shannon Clark & the Sugar, and leaves us wanting more of their forthcoming release, Marks on the Wall.
Our final video this week is from Andy Sydow, who has been relatively quiet since he burst onto the scene back in 2018, garnering nominations from the LA Music Critic Awards and a very positive review of his album. His new song, “Mona Lisas Everywhere” is an upbeat tune with a fun video that shares the truth behind the lyrics. This one is worthy of further exploration.
