The Mix Gives Everyone a Treat

museThe Mix

To show that music can touch the hearts of everyone The Mix brings their style of music to North America, traveling from their home country Germany.  The band is spotlighting “Give Autism a Voice” for this tour and the band is comprised of a variety of unique individuals.  As most will know, we have mentioned on a couple of our podcasts that Logan, one of our Co-Host, has Aspergers, so this hits close to home. If they happen to come to your area (sadly they won’t be in our area) be sure to put them on your calendar for an entertaining evening and to give them your support. Check out one of their videos, “Wo geht die Reise hin” below from the YouTube channel “Neu Erkerode”.

Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden Single “Blue Hotel”

museKate Tucker1

Usually I don’t like higher pitched female vocals, but in Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden’s case I really liked it. Kate was softer but she wasn’t wispy. There’s a big difference between singing higher with breath control than without and Kate proves that. She had enough support and strength behind her sound to work with the rest of the music instead of getting overpowered by it. Speaking of, I loved the groove from the instrumentals. The more rock feel gave their sound just the right amount of edge to really stand out in a good way. From the very beginning I was really into the music. Their name is a little long for me but that’s a minor detail, I know plenty of bands that have longer names that have gone big. This is another great band to keep your eye on.
