A Little Something for your Ears

I am suddenly realizing how much I have gotten into finding new music now that I don't have my laptop handy (that is where all my Itunes info is located). So I thought I would share with you some of the new things I have found over that last year and encourage you to check them out. Some of this is new to me but not new to the music world and some of it is not new at all I just really wanted to share it with you....

1. Cruiserweight

They are not new to the music scene they have been around awhile and both of my sisters have loved them for a long time. I am not normally partial to girls singing for some weird reason but this is a band that is backed by an amazingly wonderful girl lead singer. I am really enjoying their last EP they released.

2. Ben Rector

I had the pleasure of seeing this guy open at a Dave Barnes concert and let me tell you I was blown away not only by his amazing voice and ability to play the piano and guitar but also he true gift for song writing. He has the same vibe as Dave Barnes, John Mayer, Matt Wertz and so on......and the lyrics of his songs are beautiful and thoughtful.

3. Dave Barnes

I was introduced to Dave Barnes while still in college and have loved following his career over the last few years. He has recently gotten some much deserved attention so if you are not on the Barnes train you need to hop on now. He is so fun to see in concert because he is quite frankly one of the funniest people on the planet...if you think I am exaggerating please check him out on youtube.

4. The Bridges

This is another group I saw open for a band and they are amazing on stage. It is a group of cousins from North Carolina. They are fun to listen to and have a really great southern sound to all their music. You can just tell that they truly love to write and sing together.

5. Demi Lovato

I know many people will say she is just a girl churned out by the Disney Machine but that is far from true. She was making great music before they signed her up they have just given her an amazing stage to showcase her talent. She is a really great piano player and has a voice to die for. Just look up the many youtube videos of her singing her guts out doing covers of other really great artist. The best one is of her singing and playing a Christina Aguilera song. And yes her first album out was very pop she was good at doing the pop and if some of her new stuff is any indication her next album is going to be really great.

I hope I have been able to introduce you to some new artist or even people you haven't thought of checking out. Have a wonderful evening and day. I am hard at work on my digital scrap booking!!!!
