Matty Ride(s) in with “Lower Case Love”

Our listeners get to have a taste of some upbeat crooner type music with Matty Ride’s “Lower Case Love”. Thank back to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and more recently Michael Buble and Harry Connick Junior. Crooners are usually associated with slower tunes, but they also have upbeat tunes in the repertoire. In Matty Ride’s “Lower Case Love” we get the upbeat rhythms. The single is just a fun romp that I think you might enjoy. The single becomes available on February 14, so give Matty some love by downloading it through your digital vendor of choice. Here’s the music video through Matty Ride’s YouTube Channel – Richard:

Sarah Sharp’s Music Video for “Just Go”

Sarah Sharp is sharing with our listeners her music video for the single “Just Go”.  With this single Sarah takes the listener back to old school in a classic blues tune.  With just her voice and an acoustical backing Sarah delivers a great sound.  The video that goes with the single is very elegant just like the single.  Here’s Sarah Sharp’s music video for “Just Go” through her YouTube channel:

Ariel Hyatt’s Thoughts on Musicians and Websites

Ariel Hyatt has been working in the Public Relations extensively and she wants to share her experiences with musicians and help them reach their goals.  Here’s Ariel in her own words:

A lot of artists find the idea of building a musician’s website daunting. It’s difficult, it can be expensive, and is it really necessary with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Spotify, Bandsintown,YouTube and all the other profiles you need to manage? In a word, yes.

 

While a certain amount of business and fan growth takes place on social media, if you don’t have an effective website, you’re going to have a hard time being found and noticed by fans and industry (bloggers, managers, A&R reps, etc.) alike.

You absolutely need to have your own domain as it represents your official homebase on the web that is fully in your control. Effective social media trends come and go, (hello Facebook!) but your website is yours forever.
It is perfectly possible to create an effective website at an affordable price.There is a global marketplace of fabulous platforms and talented designers (like ours) who can help you build a beautiful site for a few hundred dollars.

A lot of artists drive themselves crazy building websites because they forget that simplicity is key.

Read my blog post all about it which includes the 7 simple website elements you need to include to make your site relevant and easy for fans and industry to navigate here

 

And we are very excited to annouce we are now designing websites for musician’s. Click here to find out more and schedule a call with me to discuss!

Kristin Rebecca’s Single “Wackos and Weirdos”

Kristin Rebecca is sending out a fun sounding song.  She pokes a little fun at the fandom of Nerdom in general with her new single “Wackos and Weirdos”.  Kristin’s has a folk/pop feel to her single, with an upbeat rhythm.  The song is close to a parody song, about the type of person she is attracting.  If you can find the right balance in a persons fandom and social norms you can find a loving individual in us “Wackos and Weirdos”.  So as you listen to Kristin Rebecca’s single remember to take it as a lighthearted look at our fandom.  So have some fun with “Wackos and Weirdos” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Eli Lev & The Fortunes Found “Go Down” Single

This is an interesting piece that Eli Lev & The Fortunes Found is sharing with our listeners.  It’s foundation is in the folk genre, but I believe it borrows from the R&B sound and a little electronica mixed in to give’s “Go Down” a fun sound.  When I listen to “Go Down” I’m immediately transported to the Bayou.  Eli Lev & The Fortunes Found’s album All Roads East is forthcoming and they wanted our listeners to enjoy their new single “Go Down” before it hits.  So here’s “Go Down” from Eli Lev & The Fortunes Found SoundCloud page – Richard:

Josh Taerk’s Single “Learning To Let Go”

Josh Taerk is sharing with our listeners his single “Learning To Let Go”.  Josh has a very natural folk/country sound with his smooth baritone voice.  The song itself I really enjoy the message because sometimes some of us can’t let go of something and to move forward we need to, even though it might be difficult.  The single has a light fresh feel to it that is really enjoyable that you will enjoy listening to.  But don’t take my word for it check out Josh Taerk’s “Learning To Let Go” through SoundCloud – Richard:
