  • Americana Folk Rock Singer Songwriter Releases New Album "Simple Things" Recorded at Freemont Recording Studios - Mastered by Tone Proper
    Subscribe Past Issues Translate View this email in your browser For Immediate Release Americana Folk Rock Singer Songwriter Releases New Album "Simple Things" Recorded at Freemont Recording Studios - Mastered by Tone Proper Portland Oregon (July 19, 2018) – Americana Folk Rock singer/songwriter Carl Solomon has just released his third album “Simple Things” and it’s quite the compilation. A personal collection of the songwriter’s from the heart songs that he delivers with notable passion. One of the hallmarks of Carl’s new release is the predominant incorporation of various Americana / Folk instruments that have been strategically placed at the beginning and throughout a number of his tracks. For instance on track five “Come What May” the arrangement incorporates an accordion and on track eight “Always Running” presents a banjo front and center. The noticeable incorporation of these instruments deliver a definitive distinction between the tracks. Another interesting feature of Carl’s new release is that the collection moves between various beats. For example track six, “Ticket To Nowhere” delivers a soft rock feel, noticeable but yet it does not over power the senses and therefore distract from the experience of enjoying the lyrics. Track seven on the other hand “Navajo Rain” sets itself apart with its subdued beat which again is not overpowering but quite different from track six. In total the album presents ten new tracks that is roots music at its best. Carl’s natural way of blending his music with his lyrics coupled with his marvelous storytelling capabilities presents the listener with a pleasant, enjoyable experience.

Don’t use it if your songs are working. Why? Some songs work really well despite perhaps violating conventional wisdom (e.g., they might have a chorus melody that’s lower than the verse). In those cases, you might inadvertently damage an otherwise great song. But if you’re feeling that the song you’re working on just seems to be missing the mark, see which items on the Checklist are present, and which ones might be missing. Remember that songwriting is a process of creation that involves spontaneous assembling of ideas, and improvisation. A checklist as a means for checking that kind of work might seem counterintuitive, but in fact it allows you to slow down the creative process and look at what you’ve written from a more objective standpoint. Here’s the best way to use the checklist: 1.

  • Piton Wealth Raises Over $5,000 at Benefit Concert with Singer-Songwriter James Lanman ______
    PITON WEALTH RAISES OVER $5,000 AT BENEFIT CONCERT WITH SINGER-SONGWRITER JAMES LANMAN _____________________________________________________________________ 16 July 2019 (KENNEWICK, WA) For two decades Michelle Clary and her team have operated in wealth management in the Tri-Cities, first as an affiliate practice of Fortune 500 company Thrivent Financial and as of 2018, the CEO and founder of Piton Wealth. It isn’t difficult to see how Clary and her team have consistently ranked in the upper 1% of Thrivent practices in client satisfaction. Taking an active role in the local community and bringing people together for a good cause seems to be second nature for a company that revolves so heavily around encouraging clients to thrive both personally and professionally. In 2017, Michelle and her husband Andy opened their home to singer-songwriter James Lanman who was on a living room concert tour across the US and Canada, where he performed for a mix of their clients and friends. The following year, Michelle had the idea to leverage the draw of live music, food from local eatery, Porter’s Real BBQ, and their expansive network by turning it into a fundraiser. Teaming up with Lanman to sell tickets to his performance at their home, Piton Wealth then matches all ticket sales from the concert to raise money for the Tri-County Habitat for Humanity branch, where Andy also serves on the board. They also have a tradition of a side contest where guests bring their A-game side dishes and judges select the top 3 winners. Now in its third year, what has affectionately become known as “Kennewoodstock” between Lanman and Clary, has become quite the event.

  • Otis Blackwell: Songwriter to “The King”
    Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum • Words & Music • Grades 7-12 Otis Blackwell: Songwriter to “The King” As the songwriter of two of Elvis Presley’s career-making hits, Otis Blackwell will always be linked to the man known as the King of Rock & Roll. But many other artists gave voice to Blackwell’s work, leaving behind a legacy that reaches far beyond Presley’s shadow. Indeed, Blackwell is considered one of rock & roll’s most influential songwriters. According to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, “Blackwell is without question one of the select songwriters whose songs literally helped redefine America’s popular music in the early and mid-1950s.” Born February 16, 1932, in Brooklyn, New York, Blackwell grew up next to a movie theater and developed a passion for Hollywood’s singing cowboys and their western music. “Like the blues, it told a story,” he once said. “But it didn’t have the same restrictive construction. A cowboy song could do anything.” Blackwell began writing songs in his teens, but turned his attention to performing after winning a local talent show. He soon tired of the road, choosing instead to focus on songwriting while working a day job pressing clothes at a New York tailor shop. Blackwell’s demo tape of “Don’t Be Cruel” caught the ear of Presley, who had just signed with RCA Records in November 1955 and was looking to Presley’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker, insisted that Blackwell share expand his southern regional popularity to national stardom. Taking cues writing credit with Presley to increase the artist’s profit—a common from Blackwell’s distinctive vocal phrasing, Presley turned the song into a practice at the time among stars.

  • San Francisco Singer-Songwriter, Essence, Has Released Her Much
    San Francisco singer-songwriter, essence, has released her much anticipated third album entitled ‘Feels Like the Future,’ available now on iTunes, it’s sound is a distinct hybrid of electronica and indie pop. Deeply influenced by the sudden loss of her father in 2007, and inspired by the birth of her son, Rhys, only a few months later, “Feels Like the Future” is a collection of fourteen intimate and spirit lifting tracks that preserve essence’s trademark sound of blending sweeping vocals and honest lyrics. With this record, essence naturally communicates an arresting spectrum of emotion through music. Highlights of her new album include the opening title track ‘Feels Like the Future’ which won the GRAND PRIZE for The Great American Song Contest, as well as placement on NBC’s Access Hollywood. A prime example of life imitating art, this song basically wrote itself, upon meeting her future husband and father of her child. Its message is that of one of the great wonders of life: a declaration of love and a brave departure from the past. “Music is in my blood, this is what I’ve always done - it’s who I am. It’s non-negotiable.” This is essence talking about a suggestion from her grandfather that she consider going to law school, give up making music and get serious. And if you’ve gotten the sense that she declined, turned away from the well-worn path to conventional success for the sake of her music, you’re right. So - just to clear things up right now - essence is her real name.

  • Master Songwriter, Guitarist and Spiritual Seeker David Wilcox Returns with First Album in Four Years
    Master Songwriter, Guitarist And Spiritual Seeker David Wilcox Returns With First Album In Four Years Thirteen new songs on The View From The Edge, Out May 11, speak to our journey through life and the mystery of inspiration Listen to album track "We Make The Way By Walking" here Those who know David Wilcox's work know how exhaustively he pours his heart and soul into his songwriting and recording. It's his technical ability and meticulous craftsmanship that elevate this work, as he employs an impressive repertoire of tunings and cut capos in his unique approach to the guitar. More than anything, however, it is the intimate storytelling and the deeply held messages of Wilcox’s lyrics that are taken to heart and held so closely by his listeners. On May 11 the beloved singer-songwriter returns with The View From the Edge, his first album since 2014’s Blaze. It's an album that reflects four years of thinking, writing, crafting, playing and life. "This record feels like a first record because I had so many songs to choose from,” Wilcox explains. "I had kind of given up on making records: People don’t buy shiny discs, music is free and who cares, right? I have always loved playing live, and that’s how I earn my living, so I didn’t see the logic in spending all that money to make more shiny disks.” So David was pleasantly surprised when his loyal audience stepped up and funded the new album through an Indiegogo campaign. They love hearing their favorites, but they still wanted new music! While Wilcox almost always tours solo, which suits those listeners just fine, this album, like many of his others, benefits from his collaboration with other musicians and vocalists.
