In The Spotlight

Kate Schutt – “Moonsick”

Based in New York City, this singer-songwriter discovered her musical passion early in childhood. She started listening to a variety of genres, ranging from rock to jazz. At the age of 11, she began playing guitar and writing songs. She’s also an accomplished athlete, having played women’s ice hockey and lacrosse at Harvard. Musically, she studied jazz guitar at Berklee College of Music. Inspired by Tina Turner, Cole Porter and Joni Mitchell, she released her debut “Take Me With You” in 2008.

Drawing inspiration from Christiane Ritter’s 1934 memoir “A Woman in the Polar Night”, her new single reflects on the moment an arctic storm clears to reveal a dazzling full moon. Chronicling a desire to become one with nature, this song captures her words in a jazzy dreamscape. Anchored by a warm upright bass, delicate percussion and timeless acoustic guitar, it’s the hypnotic keys and her spellbinding, classic-jazz-infused vocals that make this moonlit tune shine with sheer elegance.

In The Spotlight

Dylan John Thomas – “Nothing Here Worth Taking”

Growing up in foster care in Glasgow, this Scottish singer-songwriter got interested in music at the age of 7 through hearing “Ring Of Fire” by Johnny Cash on a video game. After receiving a cheap acoustic guitar for Christmas, he taught himself how to play the song. As a teenager, he began busking on the streets, honing his skills. He’s played festivals such as Glastonbury and Reading & Leeds. Inspired by Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Mark Knopfler, he released his debut “Nobody Else” in 2019.

Written as a sign of emotional support for a friend dealing with an exhausting breakup, his new single reminds the ex-partner there’s nothing of value left in the relationship to take. Wrapping the lyrics about walking away from a toxic situation in a vibrant blend of ska, indie-pop and jazz, this song is a rousing sonic fusion. With a retro acoustic rhythm, jazzy brass with a vibrant trumpet solo, and soaring, emotionally-charged vocals, this stadium-ready tune is a joyous jam.
