I know I’ve posted about this piece of heaven before, but today the official music video for “Run” by Matt Nathanson and Sugarland debuted on VEVO. I’m stoked that they will be performing this song on Dancing with the Stars tonight. I usually try to avoid the results nights of reality competition shows, but ABC [...]

I love hearing about new artists and today I got a new one in the rotation. A coworker was talking about listening to NPR on the way to work this morning and hearing the story of Susan Justice. Susan Justice apparently grew up singing on the streets with her family to make some money for [...]
Jason Reeves – Back with Me
Posted: 25th March 2012 by Matt in American Idol, Entertainment - General, MusicTags: Back with Me, Colbie Caillat, director, Jason Reeves, Kara Dioguardi, Lovesick, photographer, poet, singer, Songs are Silent Films, songwriter
Jason Reeves is one of those artists that has gone from successful indie artist to one thrust into the major label scene briefly, then back to the indie scene on his own accord. He seems to be a well rounded artistic individual who deserves all the success that he currently has. He is a fantastic [...]

We all have that one moment in our lives that defines us whether we want it to or not. When I was eight years old, my mother was killed in a motorcycle accident at 32 years old. The life that I knew was forever changed. For years, I let this one moment define who I [...]
Maggie McClure – Good Morning and Good Night

I like this whole Twitter following thing. The other day, I got notification that Maggie McClure was following me. Not in a stalker-ish way, I don’t think, but in the social media way. Hopefully she checked out the blog and wants to send some awesome music my way (hint hint). In any case, I checked [...]

Orlando-based rock band, Afterglow Radio, is back with their newest collection of songs on the LP, Miles Away from Anywhere.

My friend Ana works with this band and she asked that I take a listen to the tunes and share on [...]
Smack/Smash into You

Not gonna post much tonight, but wanted to share this fan-made duet of a song that I alluded to on a previous Jon McLaughlin post, “Smack Into You.” And it turns out I actually mentioned it in 2008 when I first heard it. It was recorded by Beyonce as “Smash Into You”. I personally prefer [...]

I haven’t had too much time to really listen to the 2010 digital CD I got on iTunes by Shane Henry. The album is “Beauty in the Struggle” and can be found on iTunes. But I certainly plan on giving much more time to this listen, however I wanted to make sure that I share [...]
