Wow, what a wonderful weekend at the Durango Songwriters Expo. We’ll have a complete breakdown for you later this week, but suffice it to say that it was life-changing. Thanks again to Jim Attebery, Jack Hayford and the entire staff for delivering a truly inspiring program and to all the old and new songwriters and industry professionals we encountered.

NEW SINGLES
Our first single comes from an old friend who has a new project. We have always been a huge fan of Megan Burtt, and have reviewed her a few times. She has a new band named Gingerbomb, and they have released their first single, “Wildfire.” Check out those harmonies.
Our second single is from another amazing Blue Élan Records artist, Car Astor, formerly known as SEE. Check out the amazing rhythms of “Girlfriend.”
Our third single comes from a band with the most original name we have discovered to date – Approachable Members of Your Local Community. Check out their new single, “Only Friend,” featuring the vocals of Tamara Dream.
Our next single takes it up a few notches on the rocking scale, and we really love the sound of Laurina Sue‘s “Dark Side.” Check it out and see if you’re ready to cross over.
Our final single comes from the UK with the premiere of Peakes‘ latest, “Still Life.” We introduced you to them last year and we think this one will be perfect for your Monday.
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Last week we reviewed the latest album from Saint Slumber, and today we want to share their new music video. Check out “Stay Away.”
Vanessa Zamora is becoming one of our favorite Latin artists, and we are proud to feature her newest video, “Solegrande,” today. This one should get your charged up for the new week.
We switch it up with our third video from the rock band, Superbean. We love the energy of “Marisol,” and think you will too.
Last week we reviewed the new album from Everlast, and are happy to share the video for his video, “Don’t Complaint.” Welcome back!
Our final video this week is from another artist who is becoming one of our favorites. Last week we shared her cover of David Bowie’s “Lost in Love.” This week she brings us the video for her song, “Strangest Dream.” Check out Rachel Eckroth and let us know what you think.
