Lunchtime Playlist April 2 – Five endearing singer songwriters
Tryon – “Come Kiss Me” -If ever a song was written to be played at a wedding, this is it. It’s basically written from the groom’s perspective, watching a woman in her wedding dress come toward him. It’s actually really good. The pop …
Lunchtime Playlist March 30 – An Americana and folk adventure
Leathan Milne – “Our Ghosts” -Okay so technically this is Canadiana, but I don’t want to split hairs. Let’s just enjoy the beautiful layered sounds from Leathan Milne here. I appreciate that he has the articulation and subtlety to make the song meander …
Lunchtime Playlist March 29 – An alt rock mix
Yon Ort – “What You Feel” -They bill themselves as psych rock and I think that’s about right for this creative art rock vibe from Yon Ort. “What you feel” gets you to question emotions, but also reality. What is real? Who are …

Lunchtime Playlist March 26 – Calming neoclassical to nurse that h… appy meal
Tim Tulsa – “Up” -I’m a sucker for vintage pianos where you can hear the clanking of the pedals in the background of a lofi recording. Tulsa’s sound is just lovely in that way. It’s the kind of piece that you’ll listen to …
Artist Feature: Chill rockers Cyrus Temple (February Battle of the Bands Winners)
Maybe we could call it rock hop or some other trendy blend of genre names, but there’s definitely a modern rock vibe to the Cyrus Temple sound. The cool vibe reminds me a bit of what I first liked about Kid Cudi several …
Lunchtime Playlist March 23 – Whoa a ten-song rock jam fest!
Krantz – “Run Away With Me” -We love rich harmonies around here, so the first time we heard the vocal blending of Krantz we were pumped. The song feels like something you’ve heard before, but in the best way possible. Some of the …
