-
Artist:
Photo Credit: Andrew SouthamHard to believe just three summers ago Lady Antebellum first met and began writing music together. Since then, the trio has toured with notable acts like Martina McBride, Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean, won Top New Group at the 2008 ACM and CMA Awards and garnered two Grammy nominations. Not a bad three years for Lady A. Made up of Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and D...

Artist of the Week: Rapper Steph
Boston-based Rapper Steph tells it like it is. Her politically charged lyrics are intelligent and talk of corruption, greed and the downfall of the American Dream. An inspiration to women everywhere, Rapper Steph is better than half the male rappers out there.“There ain’t no way us folks can ever succeed/Because corporate greed keeps us down on our knees/And we’re still supposed to believe r

Song of the Week: "She Is Love"
You may remember them as Sparky's Flaw from my interview and concert coverage last year. Since then, a lot has changed for the Virginia-based band. Their name: Parachute. Record deal: Mercury. Released debut full-length: Losing Sleep. Not to mention, their single, "She Is Love" is currently climbing the charts and they have upcoming tour dates with Kelly Clarkson, Secondhand Serenade, and The S...

Band of the Week: Mourning District

Artist:Mourning District

Track:Bullet and a Bright Side
If single, "Bullet and a Bright Side" is any indication of the future for Mourning District, the band is bound to sell out concert venues in no time. It doesn't hurt that their arena friendly pop-rock brings about comparisons to Jimmy Eat World and The Ataris (probably because most in the band were former Ataris members). Sure to garner attention from indie lovers everywhere, my bet is for this...

I received a press release today announcing the debut of Colbie Caillat's comical new video, "Fallin' For You." Directed by Malloy Bros, “SNL” cast member Bobby Moynihan plays the rather amusing and unexpected suitor who woos Caillat. Surfboard accidents and awkward moments abound. Watch the video below for more and be on the lookout for Caillat's sophomore release, Breakthrough due in stor

Album Review: Terry Penney's "Town That Time Forgot"
Terry Penney’s latest release, Town That Time Forgot, is a blend of contemporary folk, roots, blues, country and rock and roll. Throughout the album, Penney transports the listener to another time, many decades ago when Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley were still alive making hits and leaving their marks on the music scene. Whether he is singing vividly about WWI over 90 years ago in “Benny Brown

Song of the Week: "If It Kills Me"
It's a bit serendipitous when two of your closest friends living in completely different parts of the country recommend the same song within 24 hours. This was the case for this week's song of the week, "If It Kills Me" by Jason Mraz. Elaine sent me this imeem link of Jason's song, stating, "I'm in lovvve with this song. Especially the lyrics...sooo beautiful." The next day, Sarah asked me if I..

Song of the Week: "Healing Time"
I made Josh Charles an "Artist of the Week" feature a few months ago after discovering his music on MySpace. Since then, Josh has been extremely busy promoting his single, "Healing Time," in which all the proceeds go to the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans to help rebuild the city after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. With a recent feature on CNN, Josh's earnest goal of 1 milli.
