Plain Jane Automobile (October 23, 2011)

Plain Jane Automobile (http://www.facebook.com/plainjaneautomobile) is this week's featured group and I can't wait for you to hear their fantastic album rock sound.  Hearing them for the first time was like making a new friend that you felt like you've known for years.  There is a sense of comfort and ease whenever you're around them.  Plain Jane Automobile's songs have this sense of familiarity while being fresh and new.  Be sure to go their "band page "tab and you can hear their new album "Your Tomorrow."  You'll be glad you did!

Have a great week and enjoy the music!

Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers (October 16, 2011)

I've been a fan of Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers for a long time but have always been waiting for "that" album, The one that you can't stop listening to and when someone asks you for your favorite song you can't list just one. That album is now here with the recent release of "Gift Horse." It's a great album with one fantastic song after another (especially "Gravity," "Who We Are, Who We Become" and "1993"). It's time for everyone to know about this great band and enjoy them!

Have a great week and enjoy the music!

Little Comet (October 9, 2011)

Now is definitely the right time to check out Little Comets and their album "In Search of Elusive Little Comets."  This is a British rock band that sounds like a genuine British rock band - they are fantastic and a lot of fun.  They are a little bit hard to describe because they are equal parts garage band rock and modern pop/rock.  But above all else their songs are catchy and will find a nice place to stick in your brain for a while - you'll find yourself singing them before you know it. 

And if you want proof of just how much fun they can be - check out their "one guitar" video of one of my favorite songs "One Night in October" (http://youtu.be/p5TOSpYEIQ4)

Have a great week and enjoy the music!

Throwing Gravity (October 2, 2011)

Throwing Gravity (http://www.facebook.com/throwinggravity) is on the verge of something big!  They don't just write songs, they create anthems.  Join their mailing list and get a free copy of the song "Drowning" to find out!  This is great music for the gym, for blasting with the windows down or just in your own ears. Their debut single "Bring Me Down" is incredible and having gotten an early listen to the new album "It's Not the End" I can tell you that thing are only getting better. 

Have a great week and enjoy the music!

Carly Rae Jepsen (September 25, 2011)

Carly Rae Jepsen has a brand new song out "Call Me Maybe" which is hopefully the beginning of her opportunity to break down the wall between Canada and the US.  Carly deserves to be a star in the US. Her previous album "Tug of War" is really good and includes such great songs as "Bucket", "Tug of War" and "Sour Candy" (which features Josh Ramsay of Marianas Trench).  So go check out her new song or her previous album and enjoy!

Have a great week and enjoy the music!

Gabe Dixon (September 18, 2011)

Gabe Dixon (http://www.facebook.com/#!/gabedixonband), after years of working with his band has now gone solo releasing the fantastic album "One Spark."  Gabe is a great songwriter and musician but his voice is what sets him apart - he gives every song his full attention and makes it shine.  Gabe may just a younger James Taylor - when you hear his songs and voice you just can't help but sit back, smile, relax and know that everything's going to be ok. 

Have a great week and enjoy the music!
