Austin Ward’s Single “Bubblegum”

Austin Ward is sharing with our listeners his new single “Bubblegum”.  Currently Austin is working on an EP to be released later this year, but he wanted everyone to check out his sound.  With “Bubblegum” one would think this is going to be bubblegum pop music, but it isn’t.  Austin takes the listener on a slow melodic journey.  As they say at the dance hall’s, “this is one for the slower dancers” so get your partner and sway to the music as you listen to Austin Ward’s “Bubblegum” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Brother Hawk’s Music Video for “The Clear Lake”

Brother Hawk’s sound is straight up Blues with a twist of Rock.  In their single “The Clear Lake” they blend both genres nicely.  It has a nice Blues’ slow rhythm, with an edge to it for the Rock feel.  “The Clear Lake” is the title track off of their upcoming album due out May 11.  The music video is pretty much a studio video, however the setting is in a house.  This single slows done life’s pace for the listener just to enjoy.  Here’s Brother Hawk’s music video for “The Clear Lake” through their YouTube channel and don’t forget to keep an eye out for their The Clear Lake LP – Richard:

No Dry County’s Single “Bittersweet”

No Dry County is sharing their single “Bittersweet” with our listeners in preparation for their album entitled Panhandle Music.  “Bittersweet” is pretty much a straight up country single that you would hear at a honky tonk.  You have that great bar sound that comes through with No Dry County’s vocals and instrumentals.  So all of our country fans slip on your boots and get your partner out on the dance floor for a great slow dance with No Dry County’s, “Bittersweet”, and be on the look out for their album, Panhandle Music, due out June 5.  Until then here’s “Bittersweet” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Dia’s Latest Single and Music Video “Valentine”

Dia sets a late 1960’s to earlier 1970’s tone with her latest single “Valentine”.  From the first heavy beat that softens with the verse and the guitar takes more center stage is very reminiscent of that era’s pop/folk sound.  When the chorus comes back in the heavy drum beat hits you again.  Throughout the single the central instruments shifts between drum and guitar, with the chorus and verse.  The music video that was made for the single has the same late 1960’s – early 1970’s feel to it by using simulated old footage and possible even authentic old footage.  This footage merges the video and single very well to transport the listener back to that time.  Here’s Dia’s music video for “Valentine” through her YouTube channel – Richard:
