J. Marco is probably one of the coolest guys I’ve gotten to interview yet. Former Boston native and now a Nashvillian, the singer-songwriter talked to me about his debut album that just came out last month!
Day For Night 2017
Day For Night has to be one of the coolest festivals I’ve ever been to. It has everything art installations, my favorite lineup this year, and it’s in my hometown of Houston. It’s in December, so yah, it can be cold but I love the idea of wearing a coat to a festival, I didn’t sweat it was glorious.
The Best of Riptide 2017
As a crazed music fan and avid show-goer, I was looking forward to my first local music festival since moving to Miami two years ago. South Florida doesn’t see a ton of good artists come through (yeah, I said it), so I was looking forward to the sick line-up Riptide put together. The cool thing about South Florida is that despite the festival being in December, we could rock alongside our favorite bands in jean shorts and flipflops right on Fort Lauderdale Beach under a full moon.
Craig Stickland’s Journey To His Solo Career
Craig Stickland has worked hard for his music career, his work ethic is one of the most impressive things about him. His song “Warning” is so relatable and it’s obvious how talented he is when you watch him perform.
Women In Music: Who Run The World
Who Run The World is London’s first promotions company exclusively showcasing women in music. They’re celebrating their second birthday on August 13th with a killer lineup featuring ARXX, Fightmilk, The Baby Seals, The Menstrual Cramps, and Suggested Friends. I talked to founder Beth White about the idea behind Who Run The World and why it’s necessary for women to support other women.
Shayna Leigh Gives Us The Casual Dating Songs That We’ve Always Needed
Shayna Leigh’s videos had me hooked instantly, you can just sense how genuine and relatable she is. We talked about her hilarious video for “Jerry Seinfeld”, and my favorite topic: Casual dating.
Remedy Has The Dreamy Voices You’re Missing
The last few years have been the years of the boy bands, and I am HERE. FOR. IT. We recently got to talk to Remedy, a four piece band from the U.K., and they did not disappoint.
Why We’re Suckers for Future Thieves
If Jimmy Fallon’s a fan of your work, then you know you’re special. And honestly, after listening to Future Thieves’ single, “Sucker” I thought this, too. Future Thieves includes the talents of Elliot Collett (vocals and guitar), Austin McCool (guitar), Nick Goss (drums), and Gianni Gibson (drums).
Women In Music: Play Like A Girl
We all know that LA has an incredible music scene, but asides from the huge acts that dominate the charts there’s a whole independent scene that has been a subject of fixation to me for quite a while. One group in particular, Play Like A Girl seems to be at the forefront of every cult-favorite band right now. The group puts on shows featuring female performers, but other than that they host workshops, run their own label, and promote the hell out of up and coming acts. I talked to founder Kimi Recor about the birth of the project and where she sees it heading.
The Rocketboys Come Full Circle
I’ve been hearing about The Rocketboys for a long time. They’re a staple of the Austin music scene. I caught them at Mohawk right before their sold-out show for their newly released “Certain Circles.” This album really demonstrates their maturity as a band and shows them coming into their sound.
