It’s hard to imagine a Conor Oberst show just because of the span of his work. Not just the volume but how different it all is. There’s not one specific genre, there’s not one specific sound, it’s all over the map. He brought with him a full band that made his music louder than expected and the addition of a violinist brought a whole new flavor to his set.
The first time I saw Hey Violet perform, I knew Rena and I would get along. I got the cool opportunity to talk with the front-woman of HV and we gushed the release of their second EP, a little bit of love, and world domination. “Brand New Moves” released just a few weeks ago and I won’t even lie to you – it’s been on repeat since then. If you heard their first EP, I Can Feel It, you’ll know Brand New Moves has a different sound. Less rock, more 80s inspired.
Six years of One Direction and all I have to show for it is… OK, a lot. To be a fan of One Direction, you have to be pretty dedicated, and the dedication turns into a whole lot of time, effort and money toward what some people call a “silly boy band.” But, us #Directioners know that’s far from the truth.
PHASES is the project of Jason Boesel, Alex Greenwald, Michael Runion, and Z Berg, but more importantly, it is the product of best friends that were brought together by the universe.
Secret Someones is the union of Bess Rogers, Hannah Winkler, and Lelia Broussard with the addition of drummer Zach Jones. They recently released their eponymous album and set out on tour.
They each had their own projects, their own songs, and their own careers. Bess Rogers knew she always wanted to study music. She first picked up guitar when she was in her early teens. Lelia Broussard put out her first album when she was 15 and Hannah Winkler worked as a pre-school teacher while she was releasing music independently. The final piece to the puzzle was Zachary Jones who was a high-demand session musician and the former drummer for A Great Big World. This formation of musicians created the perfect super-group. Bess Rogers, guitarist and vocalist, said they just felt something click when they performed together.
“When we started the band we really realized there was something special and unique when the four of us came together as a group,” says Rogers. “As soon as we started writing our first songs we realized it was the project we wanted to pursue the most and it became our priority.”
Lights was signed when she was 15. She was very young when she recognized the importance of music in her life. She compares music to magic. She said, “You can change the way a person feels about a moment of their lives with an intangible piece of information.”
Lights is now 28 and has had a phenomenal career as a musician. On her latest album Little Machines she stays true to her sound but has still grown with her style.
