Wish on the Wild Side by Sometimes Julie #Rock #SanDiego #CA

 

Sometimes Julie, one of San Diego’s most engaging and original rock bands, is the musical brainchild of singer/songwriter duo Monica Sorenson and Rick Walker.
Walker, former lead guitarist for Chicago’s Greeley, is a multi-instrumentalist who reveals his rock and roll genius as he defines Sometimes Julie’s unique sound. Sorenson paints the pictures, finds the words, tells the stories, and delivers the melodies with her powerful voice. Walker is the theory, the rhythm, the science, the skill, and Sorenson is the front woman who is all heart and art.
The duo first emerged in 2014 with their award-winning debut CD, Head First, which was followed up by Bright Side of the Line (2016), Breaking (2018), and Where Are You? (2020). Where Are You? received a San Diego Music Award nomination for Best Rock Album of the year.
Sometimes Julie is now thrilled to announce the release of their fifth and latest album, Seven Wishes. As with their four previous albums, the songs on Seven Wishes are steeped in Sometimes Julie’s rock roots. But pop, country, and blues territories are also explored.
While not a concept album per se, Seven Wishes does reveal a cohesive theme. Whether it is for love, healing, freedom, excitement, success, acceptance, or redemption, each of the seven songs is a visceral yearning – a wish. Feelings of overwhelming desire for something, attainable or otherwise, are intensely and universally relatable and displayed throughout the album.
Recorded at Pacific Beat Recording and BigRock Studios, the usual Sometimes Julie suspects appear on this latest effort (Monica Sorenson, Rick Walker, Anthony Sarain, Bruce Paul Allen, Dave Fuller, and frequent collaborator Andy Machin). Seven Wishes also includes some special guest contributors, including Laura Chavez (guitar), Roger Friend (percussion), Larry Grano (drums), and Clair Allison & Yvonne Fuller (backing vocals).
Also notable, Seven Wishes is the first Sometimes Julie album where Monica Sorenson is featured not only as lead vocalist but also as an instrumentalist. Monica learned to play piano during the pandemic, and she lends her new talent to a few of the new songs.
Sometimes Julie performs hard-driving rock with deep-seated pop, blues, and country influences. Raw yet refined, their sexy sound will stir up your passionate side!

Twin Flame Performed by: JahRiffe #Reggae #WorldRootsReggae #Jamaican

 

Meet JahRiffe
JahRiffe, a first-generation Jamaican, is a solo artist and the lead singer of the Jah-N-I Roots band. His eclectic background and lifestyle are what make up the type of music he creates which he calls: World Roots Reggae.
He grew up listening to the greats like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Black Uhuru, and Jimmy Cliff. Influenced at a young age by his stepfather who had a big Sound System called Supersonic in Queens, NY, he started his own Sound System called Poison Clan at the age of 13. “I ran the streets when I was young and rarely went to school; it was all about the music. Every day we went to Moody’s Records and New Looks Records and Jammies to get our new music. I drove my mother crazy with my craze for music.”
JahRiffe left New York when he was 17 and headed to Boston where he soon started his musical journey. Music became a healing comfort after his tumultuous teenage years. “Discovering Rastafari really changed my life. The book Blood Posse written by Robert Walker was basically the first book I read from beginning to end. It was about a young man who traveled here from Jamaica. Through these written words I was exposed to Rastafari and Spiritual Mysticism. I then started to write songs that created a positive change in the world.”
His first album came out in 2005 "Rastafari Love". This album gave the band and JahRiffe some popularity as the numbers climbed and they started to get more shows. The second album came out in 2013 titled "Check Your Timing" and lead to doing even more shows and festivals appearing with the likes of Kymani Marley, Mighty Diamonds, and many more.
In 2016 he had his major break out single, "Rasta Can't Fade" which propelled him to a status of sharing stages with the likes of Jah9, Kabaka Pyramid, Ibamar and more stars. The video for the single quickly amassed a 100k views in its first week on Reggaeville.com.
“In 2019, after opening for Jah 9, I connected with her bass player Jah D (David Goldfine). I flew to Florida, and we recorded my new album called “Reflections". It is about my journey, and at that time I was feeling a little defeated and was trying to get to know myself more. On this album I choose to discuss my journey… the things I have seen and felt: the break-ups, the make-ups and all the other ups and downs I had experienced through my work, being a father, musician, and Black businessman. The first single from the album is also titled ‘Reflection’.
My most recent single release was also produced by Jah D called ‘Were Groovin ’. Its message is that if you don’t go through struggles, you can’t find glory. “Struggle makes it right; if you don’t have a reason to stretch out your hand to God, you don’t do it.”
“Reggae is a genre based on a vibe, an aura, a frequency that transmits messages through our inner ear and being. A message that reminds us of who we are. Because of the struggles that I went through, I wanted to make music that helps others, especially the youth… to create music that helps others find the light in the darkness that they might find themselves in.”
JahRiffe is an energetic performer. His shows are like a musical divination. When he is done, the audience feels free and rejuvenated. He touches on healing points. He wants you to walk away with feelings that you carry with you.
His music can be found on SoundCloud and most other platforms.

The Clocks by Son of Janus #Alternative #Rock #Rockford #IL #Illinois

 

Ryan Hayes is known in the music world as Son of Janus, a solo musical artist from Rockford, Illinois.  Ryan is known for writing songs with a thought provoking and at times, snarky lyrical style.  The music takes influences from the 80s and 90s Rock, such as Pink Floyd and Radiohead, that sometimes flirt with the Avant Garde. 
The lyrics are delivered by Ryan’s deep, theatrical, and unapologetic vocals, which have been compared to the likes of Peter Murphy and David Bowie.  For the most part, Ryan performs all of instrumentation himself, in his studio, that he likes to call The Gates of Janus.

Walkin feat. Argent by The Chris White Experience #Rock #Pop #PRS #UK #London

 

Christopher Taylor White (born 7 March 1943) is an English singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer.
White's music career spans more than 50 years. He came to prominence in the mid 1960s as the bass guitarist and occasional lead vocalist of the English rock band The Zombies. White is one of the main composers of the Zombies' music, and made major lyrical contributions to the band's songs. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
He became one of the band's two main songwriters, alongside Rod Argent, penning hits ('I Love You' for People) and a song now considered a standard ('This Will Be Our Year') during their initial existence. He also wrote seven of the twelve songs on the band's album and generally acknowledged masterpiece, Odessey and Oracle. White also contributed lead vocals to "Butcher's Tale (Western Front 1914)" and a verse of "Brief Candles".
Following the demise of the Zombies, White contributed songwriting and production work to Colin Blunstone's solo career and Rod Argent's new band, Argent. With Argent he wrote their 1972 hit "Hold Your Head Up".
After Argent split in 1976, there is little record of Chris White's achievements. Here are some of those unheard recordings.

Joke by Osea Codega #Pop #Dance #Electronica #SIAE #Italy

 

<
Osea Codega is a talented artist and composer with a passion for pop, soul and R&B, among other genres.
This artist managed to combine stunning melodies with infectious grooves and great beats, in order to create a catchy, yet direct and edgy sound.
​Starting from the early 2000s, he continued to write original songs and received many accolades and recognitions for his work.
Osea Codega’s recent release, “Make Me Feel”, is a great example of his sonic vision, marking a really unique step forward for this artist, whose sound is becoming increasingly more personal and defined, one tune at a time.
The artist has a truly diverse song that borrows from a wide variety of influences, while maintaining a particularly personal approach to singing and songwriting. Osea is not quite a live performer. On the other hand, he much prefers to craft his songs in the studio, where he is free to unleash his full creative potential without restrictions and without any form of outside pressure. By surrounding himself by an encouraging, creative environment, Osea can create stunning songs that truly reflect his sensibilities as an artist and performer.

Ed Harvest was born in San Juan Puerto Rico in 1998. He started playing saxophone at the age of four later on learning Guitar, Bass, Drums, flute and vocals throughout the years. He was raised in a house heavily influenced by classic rock music as well as typical puertorican music. So his influences in his writing are mostly from artists like Billy Joel, Eric Clapton, The Beatles, and many bands of that era. From newer artists his biggest influence was Mac Miller.
“When he died I felt as if the world lost a big part of it. Made me want to write better music with respect to his talent.
Ed was always doing music. Most of his summers he went to Band Camp at Interlochen Center for the Arts and also participated in the Berklee 5 week at 14 years old. He won second place in the Berklee High School Jazz Festival Competition with his jazz quartet “Guess Who Jazz Quartet". In 2017, at age 19 he was awarded a scholarship to go to Berklee College of Music. He started his studies in Music Therapy in 2022.

“With music therapy I wish to help people get through life with music. Something that we take for granted since it’s such a common thing everyday. But when one gets to share vulnerability through music it is truly a much different experience.”
“With my music I wish to change many lives as well. That my point of view in situations can be of aid for thosewho may feel stuck in life.”
