JMBLYA 2017
What happens when you get Migos, Lil Uzi Vert , Gucci Mane , Snow Tha Product and Chance the Rapper all in the span of 10 hours? You get JMBLYA. Pronounced just like the dish “jambalaya”, JMBLYA is just that, an eclectic hip-hop/EDM mix of musical meat and veggies that somehow tastes so good to your ears. While I have my issues with the way that some aspects of the festival played out, overall I feel satisfied. Not as full as I should have felt after I left, but satisfied. Instead of focusing solely on the musical acts of the festival, I’m going to go through some logistics and overall feel of the show.
Northern National Are On The Rise
Following the release of their new single “MoneyBlind”, we speak with Kanne from Northern National, the Dallas five-piece rock band on the rise.
Violet Days Have The Dreamy Electric Vibes You Need
There’s a lot of hate musicians have for streaming services. Services like Spotify and Apple Music have completely changed the way musicians make money but in one very important and very positive aspect, they’ve completely changed how we discover it. There’s a good chance I would’ve never heard the shimmering electro-pop sounds of Swedish based Violet Days before they snuck their way in to my Discover Weekly.
You Should Pay Attention To Jacob Sartorius
I was absolutely overwhelmed when I walked into Dallas’s House of Blues for the Jacob Sartorius show. It was sold out and packed. I’ve never heard so many screams.

There’s a chance you’ve heard Erin Bowman’s music. Her single “Good Time Good Life” has been on nearly every imaginable TV Show and awards program, hell, you’ve probably heard it shopping at Ulta.
pronoun, the one-woman band you should be listening to
Debut projects can be daunting, intimidating, but also authentic. A great example of how an artist’s trajectory can change quickly is in Alyse Vellturo’s one-woman act, pronoun. Currently residing in Brooklyn and fresh off her stint at SXSW, we spoke with Alyse to talk about the whirlwind it has been for her since her debut EP, “There’s no one new around you.” debuted in November of last year.
Why Tom Walker Is Your Next Favorite U.K. Sensation
Ever speak to someone and you know they just have IT? That’s what it was like when I spoke to Scottish multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Tom Walker. He performed a couple of pop up shows on the east and west coast, but he spoke to us before catching a flight back to the U.K.
Luke Wade Is Still A Small Town Texas Guy
Luke Wade hails from the treasured small town of Dublin, Texas. Which we all know fondly as the birthplace of the cult-classic Dublin Dr. Pepper (R.I.P.), don’t worry he assures me he loves Dr. Pepper.
Walker Lukens Is The Next Big Thing Out Of Austin
He’s the babe of the Austin music scene, that’s what every musician told me when I told them I was about to interview Walker Lukens. Walker has created quite the buzz for himself and just from my end on his clever Instagrams and damn catchy music. I’ve had his songs stuck in my head since I saw him perform. We walked to a side street to get away from the hustle at the Modern Outsider showcase at SXSW to talk about the local music scene.
