Happy Monday – we’re back with another edition of Monday Mashup and we have some very interesting tunes to share with you this week, including a new single from a baseball legend. Grab your coffee and let’s get started.
NEW SINGLES
He’s a baseball legend and one of the best pitchers of the past 20 years. We’re talking of course of the great Barry Zito | Facebook, who pitched for both the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland A’s. But he’s also a brilliant musician from a musical family (sister Sally Zito is an indie piano musician). Check out his new single.
Our next single comes from an multi LA Music Critic Award winner, Katie Costello. She’s got the right idea, as she talks about viewing the world through “Rose Colored Glasses.”
Jay Nash was one of the success stories that came out of the famed Hotel Café. His latest is a beautiful acoustic cover of one of Tom Petty‘s greatest hits. Check out Nash’s version of “Won’t Back Down” with his band, The Contenders.
Our fourth single this week is a future blues classic from the brilliant Karen Lawrence and her band, Blue by Nature. She’s under a “Bad Spell” and we couldn’t be prouder of this song. This one bears repeating!
We close out our singles this week with this powerful song from the sultry Christina LaRocca, who reminds us about “The New Normal.” Welcome to post-pandemic America.
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Our first video this week comes from our favorite South African indie artist Cara Frew. This is the perfect kick-off video for summer. Check out “Falling.”
Video number two this week features the country sound of Corinne Cook as she discusses her dating life. This humorous lyric video will have you ROFL with “Blah, Blah, Blah.”
For our third video this week we would love to introduce one of the fastest rising bands in the country. Composed of Chip Moreland (husband of indie queen Cindy Alexander) and Gregory Markel, All in your head has captured the heart of music lovers with their incredible harmonies, creative videos and a retro sound. Check out “How Does it Feel to be Real?” We think you’ll be back for more.
On the pop country front, we stumbled across this amazing artist and we truly his sound, which we think could quickly rise up the charts and deserves serious radio airplay. Check out J4 and be “Better.”
We close out this week with another future country smash from Seth Michael. His latest belongs on country radio and the video is amazing. Check out “She Got a Thing.”
