Mahavishnu Orchestra – You Know, You Know We’re kicking off August with the Mahavishnu Orchestra featuring John McLaughlin on guitar. Their style could be described as an experimental and acid jazz fusion type thing teetering on avant-garde at times. The piece I’ve shared is one of their more palatable ones. It features a catchy and […]

Giuda – Overdrive It may be surprising to hear that this song is brand new and came out in April of this year! Formed in Italy just 12 years ago, the band Giuda is combining some of the most popular elements of punk, classic rock, and heavy rock in a very successful way. It’s catchy

Boz Scaggs – JoJo My relationship with Mr. Scaggs has more to do with his name than with his music. The first time the words “Boz” and “Scaggs” touched my ears I knew I would remember this name forever. During any night out on the town or at any bar trivia, you’ll hear me yelling

Summer Vibes Rick Wakeman – The Journey Overture Many people are familiar with Rick Wakeman’s work with the progressive rock band “Yes”. It wasn’t until last year that I was even made aware of the fantastic music Rick has been putting out. One common concept he uses is writing his own soundtracks for books. This

Nick Johnston – A Cure Promised Like many of the artists I discover, I found Nick Johnston through the Spotify related artists radio.

moe. – Silver Sun There’s only room for so many jam bands in my playlists and moe. has rightfully earned their spot as one of them. I’m a sucker for hypnotic bass lines, tight drums, and buttery sounding organs. The first half of this track is very laid back while the second half has a

May 2019 Releases Peter Frampton – Georgia On My Mind Peter Frampton is an absolute role model of a musician. He is constantly learning and growing in his playing, while simultaneously showing music the respect and appreciation we all ought to have towards it. His 2006 album Fingerprints was the one that really changed my

Moon Hooch – St. Louis I think if you asked most people to pick 3 instruments to form a band with, probably no one would choose 2 saxophones and a drummer. Moon Hooch started in 2010 as buskers in New York and their growth has been fun to watch. I first experienced them through their

Jessica Allossery – Up in the Blue Here’s another artist that was shared with me by one of the parents of the studio. This is Allossery’s most recent song which was released just 5 days ago. It’s the newest song I have shared so far. Her singing and guitar work are delicate and inviting. This

Expand your ear! Graham Central Station – It Ain’t No Fun to Me Larry Graham is a name that every bassist in the world must know and every musician should know. After his work with Sly and the Family Stone, he started Graham Central Station which is appropriately named after him. It’s songs are political,
