And we’re on tour. Spent the night with our client Jerad Finck in his amazing hilltop home overlooking Spokane. His first show is tonight at Darrell’s Tavern in the Shoreline area of Seattle. He is sharing the stage with another LA Music Critic Award winner, Polly O’Keary & the Rhythm Method. This is gonna be fun. As such, we will be posting sporadically here for the next two weeks. We will be posting a daily tour blog on Finck’s Facebook page every day, including our thoughts about the entire tour process. In the meantime, here’s our Monday Mashup to get your new week off to a great musical start.
LIZ KENNEDY DROPS NEW RELEASE
Liz Kennedy released her latest album, Hike Up Your Socks, featuring legendary bluesman Taj Mahal on harmonica on “Love Gave Me Away” as well as vocals and banjo on “Everyone Knows How It Goes” on September 15. Watch for our review soon.
NEW MUSIC
Our first new single this week comes from Matt Zambon. Check out “Blue & Yellow” and let us know what you think.
Just had to share this amazing electronic pop single from the band Elektrisk Gønner for their single “Money.” Love the beat and especially the soaring vocals. Let us know what you think.
Our last new single comes from Sara Diamond. She has a voice like Beyonce’ and great songwriting to boot. Check out “Stay a Little.”
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Our first video today is from John Hickman, who has released a fun animated video for his song “Cascade.” This should get your new week off to a fun start.
Next up is a new video from Lexie Rose, who we featured back in July. We think you’ll love her video for “Wrong,” which we feel is just right.
Last but not least this week is some old fashioned bluegrass, courtesy of Bernie Faulkner with his rousing song, “Potbelly Stove. This one sure brings back memories of my childhood. We think you’ll like it too.
