13 Great Musical Moments in @CameronCrowe Movies via Paste Magazine

4 May

Leave it to Paste Magazine to come up with something like this and quite frankly, it’s awesome.  I’m sure everyone can figure out before reading what movie has the most included in this list and honestly you can’t argue that, especially number one (number two is pretty damn good too).  Follow THIS link to read the full piece.

New Music: The Belle Brigade

3 May

I have to thank Brett Dennen, for the introduction to this band, The Belle Brigade. From the first time I heard “Sweet Louise,” I was hooked.  Comprised of brother/sister duo Ethan and Barbara Gruska, their sibling relation allows for a seamless transition in vocals and harmonious sound on each track.  An easy, breezy tone throughout the self titled debut album also makes for a perfect soundtrack to listen to under the summer sun.  I believe Paste Magazine sums it up best in their review which you can read HERE.  Be on the lookout for the rise of The Belle Brigade.

New Music: Gary Clark Jr.

28 Apr

He rocked Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Music Festival last summer and recently Rolling Stone named him “Best Young Gun,” Gary Clark Jr. may just be the next great blues musician.  Hailing from Austin Texas, Clark Jr. can span many genres of music but his slick, powering guitar skills has had him compared to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan time and time again.  He’s got a ways to go but definitely off to a great start.  Part of the Café Artists line-up at Bonnaroo, I can’t wait to see and hear him live.

April 2011 Playlist

19 Apr

Here is a playlist for April.  I’m going to try and make a new one each month so be on the lookout.  These selections are a mix of the artists I’ve been listening to lately.  Let me know what you like, don’t like, want to hear more of.  Weather is getting nicer out so the need for driving and pool music is a necessity!

Cheers!
