Hailing from Powhatan, VA, this singer and songwriter was born with a creative soul. From making movies to acting in plays and writing songs, he found a way to express himself. He moved to Nashville in 2016 to attend Belmont University with the intention of becoming a country songwriter. However his love for 70s and mostly 80s music won out in the end. Inspired by artists such as Bryan Adams, Don Henley and Huey Lewis & The News, he released his debut “Somebody Told Me” in 2023.
Although people generally view the negative side of having somebody walk all over you, his new single reminds us that there is a fun side to it as well and that fun has been generously sprinkled over the neon melody. Blending the influences of various 80s artists, it’s an amalgam of sparkling pop and melodic rock. With the radiant retro synths, effervescent drums and bright guitars sparking joy, it’s the vintage vibe of his cheerful vocals that takes us right back in time to the vivid 80s.

Based in New York City, this indie quartet of Veronica, Lucas, Eric and Marlo got together in high school, after joining forces to enter and win a battle of the bands competition. Winning allowed them to record their first song, which went viral on YouTube. Since their wild career rollercoaster started, they’ve played several tours, as well as the Ocean Mist and Levitate Music & Arts Festival. Inspired by Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Wonder and MUNA, they released their debut “Sour Candy” in 2017.
Recorded live to tape in a cabin in the Catskills, their new single is a smooth, soulful rocker. Taken from their recently released album “If There’s A Heaven”, the song narrates the angst associated with living and the uncertainty and doubt that comes with it. With a kind of 70s warmth from the bobbing melody, it’s the lush rhythm, glowing guitars and crisp piano that forge a welcoming retro rock tune. And with soft-rock vocals binding it together, this jam is everything you could want.
