“Redneck Magic,” the new single by Robert Abernathy + SMO, is not a recreation of the country rock of yesteryear. In this song, audiences and critics alike are brought front and center to witness the deconstruction and reassembly of a band in real-time. We listen as the strings find each …

Hard rock syndicate Gabriel and the Apocalypse are fresh out of the studio with their new single “Get Dragged” and its companion music video, and if you came expecting a lot of rock n’ roll heat, you won’t be walking away disappointed. The band’s sound is uncomplicated and very intense …

In a generation of entertainers committed to breaking the boundaries that exist within every corner of the art world, singer Xavier Toscano stands out as an original with a style that is all his own. After dropping some credible work in recent times, he’s humbly moving forward with his career …

A melody dances in the air. It’s Sarantos’s latest song, “Rain Guitar”. An acoustic ballad rich in emotion, it showcases his talents as a songwriter and musician. It’s more than just a tune – it’s an experience, a journey of love, appreciation, and friendship. A story told through music. But …

In his latest single “Keeps It Tight,” Xavier Toscano stylishly tackles the traditional pop model an angst-ridden, funky attitude that was hinted at in previous works but is fully realized in this new composition.

Steeped in an avant-garde yet, particularly spacey groove, the beat in The Wheel Workers’ new single “S.O.S.” is one of the song and music video’s most sterling elements, but certainly not the only reason I’d recommend it this October. From the vocals to the string play to the percussion that …

Miss Freddye’s “Let It Burn” is a masterful blues-rock track that pays homage to the glory ages of rock while injecting a contemporary energy that makes it relevant and engaging. The song’s slow build-up sets the tone for the entire track, creating an anticipation that builds as the song progresses. …

Midnight Sky’s latest single, “Every Now and Then,” is a delightful blend of country and Americana that will have you swaying and singing along in no time. With his powerful vocals and expert guitar playing, frontman Tim Tye takes listeners on a journey through the ups and downs of love …

The piano purrs with emotionality as Carolee Rainey’s “Baby” starts to play, but its brittle melody pales in size compared to the epic harmony that it’s preparing us for just around the corner. Enter Rainey, who is hesitant in her execution at first, as if to imply a reticence to …

The underground scene has been producing some really exciting talent this year, and among the brightest stars that I’ve had the pleasure of taking a look at lately is none other than Bryn Ryan-Van Dyke, the sultry singer/songwriter whose charismatic tone has won the hearts of critics and fans across …
