Jordan Duffy – “Not Your Dream Girl”
Originally from Worchester, Massachusetts, this singer/songwriter wrote her first song on a tape recorder aged 9. In high school she learned to play the guitar and piano, but after discovering she had a 4 octave range started studying opera. Apart from her varied musical endeavours she’s also a sought-after audio engineer. At 18 she opened for The Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts. Inspired by Lake Street Dive, Adele and Charli XCX, she debuted with “No Big Deal” in 2022.
Drawing inspiration from the movie Sixteen Candles, her new single tells her own personal story of having feelings for a person that are not reciprocated. Taken from her upcoming album “Nights Like These”, expected on March 25th, she pads her heartbreaking lyrics with a synth-pop melody dripping in 80s nostalgia. Filled with shimmering synths and an invigorating beat, she forged a striking anthem. And with her soulful, empowering vocals, this is a lively retro-pop groove.

Jon Lindsay – “Big Stage”
Hailing from Portland, this singer, songwriter, musician and producer began playing in bands like The Catch Fire, The Young Sons and more notably with Benji Hughes, with whom he still performs today. He is proficient on keys, guitar, bass and drums. Together with Caitlin Cary of Whiskeytown he co-founded the North Carolina Music Love Army, a non-profit music collective. Inspired by Freddie Mercury and Jackson Browne, he released his debut EP “Magic Winter & The Dirty South” in 2009.
Influenced by the sound of legendary 70s performers like Harry Nilsson and The Eagles, his new single is an organic, vintage-dipped rock ballad that finds its way to our soul. Starting with a delicate piano, the song exudes a welcoming warmth. A mild percussion joins the dreamy soundscape, while his emotion-laden vocals tell his intimate tale. As the melody progresses, rich strings and multi-layered harmonies are added. Heartwarming and mesmerizing, this is an extraordinary tune.
