Indie-Music Cult Figure David Cloyd Returns to National Spotlight with New Single “Ocean Of Hours” from Forthcoming New Record on ECR Music Group.

David Cloyd returns to the national spotlight with his first record in more than a decade, Red Sky Warning (out in early 2025 on ECR Music Group), and its lead single, “Ocean Of Hours,” out September 24th. “Where did the time go?” asks Cloyd in this anthemic new song co-produced and mixed by Blake Morgan (Lenny Kravitz, Lesley Gore, Janita). Answering that question lies in understanding why his initial and striking ascent to indie-music cult-figure status was so remarkable, and unique.

Before moving north to Buffalo, Cloyd had made a stunning splash with his 2009 debut album, Unhand Me, You Fiend!—an album he’d recorded in his 9-foot by 9-foot apartment in Sunset Park, Brooklyn on a personal computer he’d built by hand. After being discovered by—and subsequently signing to—Morgan’s ECR Music Group record label, Cloyd’s debut went on to hit #1 on the world’s second-largest streaming service at the time (eMusic), culminating in a major feature about the artist in New York Magazine. Multiple TV music placements followed, his work becoming a regular fixture on MTV’s Real World, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and Bad Girls Club. His follow-up record, I Could Disappear, showcased his extraordinary musicianship with a set of live-in-studio performances of the material from his first record. His re-imaginings of Radiohead’s “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi” and Paul McCartney’s “Dear Boy” won him an even broader audience, with the latter being licensed by McCartney’s own company, MPL Communications.

“David’s as special a musician as I’m likely to encounter,” says Morgan. “And frankly, that anyone’s likely to encounter. It’s no surprise he has this rabid indie-music following, because the people who ‘get’ him get how special he is too. He’s a foundational artist here at ECR. I’m so glad he’s back with this new record, his fans are going to absolutely love it.”

A move to Buffalo to start a family was next for Cloyd, with the artist branching out as a producer himself and founding the Buffalo-based ECR imprint Hook & Ladder Records. In the years since, he’s become a tentpole music figure and producer in Buffalo’s music scene, producing Caroline Fenn’s Fragile Chances (2013) and Buffalo Tango Orkestra’s acclaimed debut Ecos Del Pasado (2018), while also becoming ECR Music Group’s VP of Creative Operations.

“I’ve dug deep here in Buffalo, raising a family and embedding myself here in this region’s musical landscape,” says Cloyd. “And I’ve loved all of it. But, it’s also meant I’ve had to step back from the ‘artist’ part of me during these years, and that’s been hard too. That juxtaposition—the love of what I’ve been doing, and the ache of what I’ve been missing—is precisely what this album, and what the song ‘Ocean Of Hours,’ are about.”

This new record finds Cloyd hitting the same brilliant note his earlier work struck, but at a higher yet deeper emotional octave. His artistry will draw comparisons to Radiohead, Beck, Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, and Peter Gabriel as it always has, but Cloyd’s distinctive voice—both as a singer and as a record maker—continues to be completely his own. 

“This album is a love story,” says Cloyd. “I’ve been in love with making music for as long as I can remember. It’s a deeply mysterious love to me, and exploring it is not the search for an answer—for me, the exploration is the answer. I felt the same thing when I met my wife, and I’ve watched the two great loves of my life dance through it all together. It’s not always graceful, but it’s always beautiful.”

Red Sky Warning, written and performed by David Cloyd, mixed and mastered by Blake Morgan, is out in early 2025. The album’s first single “Ocean Of Hours” is out September 24th on ECR Music Group.

Solitude Performed by: Xematria formerly Bri 333 #RnB

 


Xematria, formerly known as Bri 333, is a singer/songwriter born and raised in Illinois. Her roots are South African and Italian. Shortly after she took interest in singing and poetry at age 6, she began her journey as an artist. All throughout high school she attended guitar and vocal lessons, as well as ballet and pointe at a performing arts school. During this time she recorded original songs and covers in her room, but they have never been released. 

She was always writing, but it was never material she could see herself recording and releasing, until 2019. That year was dark but gave her the material she needed to move forward and create the art she desired to share with the world. Late 2019 she recorded and released her first single “ICU In Me”, what her listeners call “a certified classic”, as well as “Beautiful End”, a dreamy yet sassy single. She released her next single “Under pressure”, as well as "No.9", "Break me down" and "Potentia", Her first radio play was a Stonebridge anthem mix of her song "Under Pressure" in 2022. Xematria is currently working on numerous singles and her first EP. 

Being an independent artist leaves her with creating and executing her plan, which she expressed was “difficult but rewarding... my fanbase and the way they express how my music makes them feel means the world to me and is great motivation.  They are truly some of the most kind hearted people I've spoken to, and Im so grateful that music is what connects us all”. 

Her next Project "Solitude" will be available late September.
Until then listen to No. 9 which was recorded under her former name BRI 333

This is the third book in the Morning Show Mystery series, The Talk Show Murders finds Billy Blessing with a plate full of danger as secrets from his past threaten to make a comeback.

Before Billy Blessing was a five-star celebrity chef from New York City, before he was ever on TV, he lived another life under another name: Billy Blanchard, wily con man of the Windy City. Billy did time for his crimes, reinventing himself when he got out and leaving that part of his life far behind—or so he thought. But when he and Eddie Patton, a nosy ex-cop, are both guests on a popular Chicago talk show, the off-camera banter turns to blackmail.

But this is Chicago, and secrets have a way of getting out—and getting people killed. When Patton is found dead in his apartment hours after trying to shake Billy down, America’s beloved TV host finds himself scrambling to prove his innocence, before he becomes then next poster child for celebrity scandal. Throw in a bit of romance, and Billy may have found himself in one sticky situation not even he can talk his way out of.

Fast-paced, funny, and bubbling with the inside scoop on a business they call show, The Talk Show Murders is Al Roker at his best.

Special Olympics Swimmer Ashton Smith #Dallas #Texas

 



Ashton Smith is a Gold Medalist in Swimming in the arena of people with disabilities. She had the privilege of competing in the World Games, Dubai and in Seattle, at a National US Games. It is a unique honor, and she was truly blessed to have accomplished that feat, which is especially amazing since she is legally blind. Many things stuck out in her journey from hometown hero to homeless, world-class gold medalist despite having a limiting disability. Her road to greatness started when she was nine years old. As a "Differently Abled" person, she found herself being left out of events, overlooked, and under picked. To say it caused inner trauma would be putting it mild. She learned to cope by escaping into swimming, which can be a team sport or an individual one. She found herself at the YMCA in Waxahachie almost daily.

Once ASHTON SMITH discovered the water, she was naturally drawn to it. Once the staff at the YMCA saw that she loved to swim, they encouraged, empowered, and enabled her to train and blossom into that youth capable enough to capture a spot on the Special Olympics team. Most people have an erroneous perception of that organization. There are varying levels of competitiveness involved, and one of the underlying reasons for their existence is to assist athletes that are disadvantaged for any number of reasons.

Ashton Smith’s blindness afforded her the opportunity of competing as a swimmer for the organization. Ashton Smith told LHMPR Radio Podcast Host Yvonne Wilcox that she would like to move forward by monetizing her historic winnings and her completion from the Organization. Ashton went on to say that the restrictions and limitations that are in place make it almost impossible for an athlete to capitalize on their brand while still a member of that organization. However, now that she has severed ties with the organization, her plan is to make sure that she has a podcast show so that she ca speak freely about her experiences. Her second hope is to get her book that is already written and published on Amazon promoted more. She said that she is seeing her goals starting to happen right before her eyes (no pun intended).

Folsom Prison Blues Performed by: Alison Wahl, Brian Berggoetz #Folk

 


Listen on Apple Music

Artist bio:
Brian Berggoetz is based in Tucson, Arizona. His music could be described as a unique combination of different styles and influences, such as pop and rock alike. Brian has been passionate about music throughout most of his life. He is a self-taught guitarist and a gifted songwriter who has been active since his early 20s. What makes his music unique is the fact that he doesn’t just write his own music, but he also has a penchant for re-writing classic songs in his personal style. While many cover song artists tend to reproduce the covers they interpret verbatim, B3 is very gifted when it comes to bringing a touch of personality and authenticity to the material that he performs. The artist is active as a performer, and he had the chance to play live extensively, including opening and sharing the stage for internationally respected acts, the likes of Reverend Horton Heat, Charlie Sexton, and Jerry Giddens, only to mention a few. Brian took the local music scene (and beyond) by storm with not one but two amazing bands. He uses these different line-ups to bring his sound to different dimensions. One of the groups is a straight-up, pure rock and roll affair, consisting of a lead guitarist, a drummer, and a bass player supporting Brian as a lead vocalist and rhythm guitar player. The second line-up allows Brian to experiment with a warmer, more laid-back sound, which features orchestral elements such as a violin and a cello. It is always interesting to hear Brian arrange some of his songs differently. Sometimes, he performs the same tracks with both line-ups, but he changes the song arrangement to fit the specific sounds the band has to offer depending on whether he is going to perform them with his rock lineup or with the classical band. The fact that he is so versatile and his songs fit such different contexts are incredibly remarkable, allowing people to enjoy different sides to his artist pathos and personality as a whole.

Much like a baker using the proper ratios and ingredients, he can expertly craft his music by knowing exactly how to blend all of these different influences into something that is quite special and personal. There is a time for melody, and there is a time for energy: Brian is able to endow his tracks with equal doses of these two important elements, and his sound is balanced and poignant because of that. His songs always stand out as a fantastic example of what it means to make pop-rock songs that are catchy yet extremely insightful and diverse.

The hard-hitting punch of this track speakers for itself, and if you enjoy the music of artists such as Bruce Springsteen, and John Cougar Mellencamp, only to mention a few. Currently, the band is also working on new music, with an upcoming album to be released very soon. If the material he’s been released thus far is any indication, audiences are certainly in for a very special treat. Brian, aided by his trusty bandmates and musical collaborators, is always eager to set the bar higher, creating music that the crowd can easily relate to. Whether you enjoy his songs at home or get a chance to see him on stage, the experience will undoubtedly leave a profound impression and a big mark.

The Power of Love by Melvin Leonard/Barbeque Hot Sauce Band #RnB #Soul

 



Listen on Apple Music

Melvin Leonard hails from the colorful southern city of New Orleans, Louisiana. His grandfather, Walter Manaday, played drums for Louis Armstrong. His mother, Mary Sterling Leonard, played honky-tonk blues piano in church along with having a superb velvet voice. Melvin grabbed a pair of drumsticks before he grabbed his first bottle, and he has been pounding out rhythms for as long as he could remember. 

Singing at church and other events, at the tender age of 10, these talents began to develop in Melvin`s childhood with music, song, and appreciation for the unique southern sound named Funk. 

His professional career started in the internationally acclaimed nightclubs of the New Orleans French Quarter. As a singer, songwriter, and producer, Melvin`s  style of singing is funky, and he is likely to become one of the hottest stars of the R&B world. 

Melvin first new CD release was titled "Melvin Leonard: The Prince of the Blues" in 1996. It received a multitude of appreciation and took off like a rocket. 

The songs on this CD are: 

 You Wont Miss Your Water, Till Your Well Runs Dry 
 You Up-Set Me Baby 
 Drunk Woman Ain’t No Good For Me 
 So Long My Baby Is Gone 
 Nobody Wants You When Your down and Out 
 I’ve Been Ripped Off For My Money 
 One Woman with Two Men 
 I’m A Fool for You Baby, But Mama Didn’t Raise No Fool 
 I’m Your Blues Man Baby 
 Don’t Talk About My baby, Leave My Baby Alone

Melvin`s enthusiasm for music is expressed in his new release, "Fired Up," his second CD with a more R&B Funk original style. 

The songs on this CD are: 
 Slipping In the Mix
 Fire It Up 
 Wave In The Water 
 VooDoo Booty Shake 
 Hello Y’all 
 Shake Your Booty
 Party 
 This Is What Dreams Is All About 
 She’s Sexy 
 Your Got To Move Your Body

The second CD propelled Melvin into the next level and will surely result in success. In turn, Melvin`s second CD is a high demand item for all music lovers. Both CDs were released on his own Spice Records Label that is colored with the soulful sound of the Southern Funky South.

The greatest moments in Melvin`s career have been playing his music live. He has played with some of the greatest artists in the music industry. Such as The Heart of Soul Band, The City News Band, The Profascinations Pros Band, The Chaparrals Band, Jean Knight, Irma Thomas, King Floyd, Aaron Neville, O.V. Wright, Z.Z. Hill, Arnie Kato, Antoine and Anatole Domino Jr. just to name a few.
