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. -

Table of Contents HOW TO USE THIS CHECKLIST 3 MELODY/RHYTHM 6 CHORDS/HARMONY 8 LYRICS 10 MISCELLANEOUS 12 How to Use This Checklist The Songwriter’s Checklist is meant to help you when you feel that your songs are failing in some way. 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. -
Pressbook “God's Not Dead 2”
PRESSBOOK “GOD’S NOT DEAD 2” Quanto sei disposto a rischiare per difendere quello in cui credi? PREMESSA Secondo quale criterio si stabilisce quali argomenti possano essere affrontati pubblicamente e quali debbano invece essere discussi in forma esclusivamente privata? In cosa consistono la libertà di espressione e di parola? Fino a che punto il diritto a difendere i propri valori non invade la sfera di libertà altrui? Quando i fatti storici cessano di essere tali a causa dell’orientamento ideologico di un’élite e si resta soli a sostenere quello che si ritiene essere una verità oggettiva, fino a che punto si è disposti a difendere il proprio pensiero, anche a costo di compromettere la propria vita privata e professionale? E’ questo incipit di GOD’S NOT DEAD 2, il nuovo legal thriller distribuito da Dominus Production, al cinema dal 2 Marzo 2017. GOD’S NOT DEAD 2, ambientato in una corte di giustizia statunitense, è ispirato ad una causa legale reale e affronta il delicato tema della difesa del diritto alla libertà di espressione e di opinione, mostrando un quadro di insidiosa discriminazione ideologica subita dai cristiani nella società contemporanea. Il film evidenzia, inoltre, il pericolo di ideologizzazione dei canali comunicazione con la conseguente deformazione non solo delle informazioni ma anche degli accadimenti storici. Missione del film è invitare lo spettatore ad interrogarsi sui grandi valori dell’esistenza, arrivando a domandarci: quanto siamo disposti a rischiare per difendere ciò in cui crediamo? La storicità di Gesù Cristo – illustrata da Grace Wesley agli alunni della sua classe di liceo – diventa argomento centrale della causa legale che vede la docente, cristiana, accusata di aver violato la separazione fra Stato e Chiesa. -
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. -
