Jinja Safari (November 27, 2011)

Jinja Safari (http://www.facebook.com/jinjasafari) is a fantastic Australian band that combines rock and pop with a lot of influence from their home country.  Their self titled EP features great songs such as "Peter Pan" and "Vagabond." Their new song "Hiccups" (now available on Amazon MP3) really showcases what they are all about!

Have a great week and enjoy the music!

Mike and Cody (November 13, 2011)

Mike and Cody (http://www.facebook.com/mikeandcody) have just released their debut EP and are giving it away for whatever you want to pay (from zero up to ??) simply by going to http://mikeandcody.bandcamp.com/album/lets-go. 

These two friends, originally from DC, have created an impressive collection of songs.  Whether it's a great pop/party song ("Let's Go"), a slower number ("Headphones On") or even something with some jazz thrown in ("Everything You Do") these are really good songs that will keep you interested. 

Have a great week and enjoy the music!

Chelsea Lee (November 6, 2011)

It's been a GREAT week for the Emerge Group! Let's start with this week's featured artist, Chelsea Lee (http://www.facebook.com/chelsealeemusic)  who is releasing her album on Tuesday! Chelsea grew up in the DC area and earned her stripes at local shows and working with local musicians. Now she's signed to Atlantic Records and is prepared to take her place alongside Colbie Caillat, Sara Bareillas, Kate Voegele and other talented female singer songwriters.  She has a wonderful voice and her songs go down easy. 4 of the songs from her new album "18 and Alive" can be heard on the music "tab" on her facebook page.

And in other news, this week the Emerge group was featured in a blog by the people at Camplified, who bring great music to kids at summer camps! Please take a moment to check out the blog here: blog.camplified.com/2011/11/get-hooked-on-new-bands-with-emerge-music-group/
