In The Spotlight

Parker Barrow – “Blinded”

Based in Nashville, this rock and blues band was formed in 2019 when husband-and-wife duo Megan Kane and Dylan Turner met. Named after the famous outlaws Bonnie & Clyde, they expanded the band with Alex Bender and touring members Will Tipton, Kyle Priber and Eric Safka. They’ve played various festivals like Maid Of Stone in the UK and the New Waterford Music Festival in the US. Inspired by The Allman Brothers Band and Led Zeppelin, they debuted with “Count Your Dollars” in 2023.

Singing about navigating through the noise of modern life in search of true purpose, their new single reminds us to stay true to ourselves without getting lost in the shallowness of social media. Taken from their upcoming album “Hold The Mash”, expected on July 17th, the song is built on classic rock vibes. With a pulsating percussion and vintage, Keith Richards-inspired electric guitar riffs creating a retro swagger, it’s Megan’s belting vocal grit that makes this an authentic rock groove.

Azure Ryder – “North Star”

Hailing from Sydney, this Australian-Lebanese singer and songwriter started her musical endeavors in a church choir at the age of 5. She grew up with a wide variety of music playing, from Dusty Springfield to Elvis. She chose to travel and studied briefly at Berklee College of Music. She’s played various festivals like The Great Escape and Latitude and opened for Ziggy Alberts and Teddy Swims. Inspired by artists like Stevie Nicks and The Velvet Underground, she debuted with “Dizzy” in 2020.

Singing about finding your way back to yourself when difficult times make you feel lost in life, her new single is an homage to safety, whether that is a person, a place or a feeling. Dipped in a dynamic, retro-touched pop-rock shroud, this song evolves from soft guitar strums to a grand soundscape. Initially slightly ethereal, it’s the added resonant rhythm, vintage guitars and her authentic vocals ranging from vulnerable to powerhouse, that make this tune a textured gem.
