Salvatore Altavilla – “Aeolian Lullaby”-If I had to explain to someone what I mean by “neoclassical” music, I would play this track from Salvatore Altavilla. It’s beautiful, subtle, and unbelievably engaging. Everything about it feels comfortable and meaningful. I really appreciate that elements …

Some incredible 2020 new music ready for your discovery
Johnny Ashby – “If I was an island”-I’ve been a big fan of Ashby since the first time I heard his music. There’s a lonesomeness (or sincerity?) in his voice that I find really comforting. It’s a bit of what I love about …
Let’s keep the new tunes spinning, friends
Sean Christopher – “Indigo blue”-I really like the composition of this piece. Both the energy of the acoustic guitar and the lead vocal style. The entire feel is really comfortable in a unique way. I find the backing vocals to create a sense …
A midweek (or is it!?) playlist
Human Barbie – “Don’t run away”-If you like creative singer songwriters, go ahead and drop that follow on Human Barbie. I’ve never heard anything like this. There are elements of theatricality along with “alt rock” flavors. It all mixes together for a truly …
So you’re saying you like indie folk? Get some here.
Plasi – “Run”-The energy of this track is palpable. I like the hand claps (because, duh!), but the overall acoustic style mixed with a good lead vocal is really something to behold. The message to “run for your dreams” seems so utterly impossible …
Vibe out with these indie pop tunes

Featured Single: A mystical, hippie folk song from Gone Gone Beyond – “Little Moon”
This is a captivating song with layers of complexity that I was not expecting on first listen. It’s got some unique harmonies, a great string part, and then this hit-out-of-nowhere bass part. It’s both grounded and surrealist. It’s mystical, transcendent, but feels like …
Grab your acoustic guitar and play along with these gems
Edward Doyle – “Yesterday” (Beatles cover)-When Doyle contacted me about this song, he said he didn’t think we’d cover it because it’s a cover. Well, I have to say that I don’t TYPICALLY feature covers, but this is not typical by any stretch. …
Jam out to this pair of new rock tracks
Rooskin – “Radio slave”-This is the indie rockiest anthem ever written – “you’re nobody’s radio slave.” I don’t know the context for the lyrics, but I can guess. I dig the smooth lyrical and guitar style here. It definitely gets me jamming in …
Some chill rock to try out at your next barbecue
The weather is breaking here in northeast Ohio and we’re gonna need some tunes that won’t offend the neighborhood when we crank them. We can only listen to “Sweet Caroline” so many times. So here are a few new tunes that will make …
