I have been really excited about music this year. My favorite band, Acceptance, reunited after more than a decade of being disbanded and released a new album, I found several new artists to add to my library, and I started this music blog. Thank you for taking the time to read about the music I…

The Rocket Summer – Christmas Madness EP
With Christmas only seven days away I have decided to share one of my favorite Christmas EPs, Christmas Madness by The Rocket Summer. Listening to this EP has been a Christmas must since it surfaced back in 2013. It consists of three original songs and one cover. It is hard for me to pick a favorite song…
Atlas: One – Sleeping At Last Single
About a month ago I heard the single “Atlas: One” by Sleeping At Last. At the time, I remember thinking that it was one of the most beautiful songs I had ever heard. Now, fast forward a week after having the song on pause. I went painting with a friend as we often do from…
Back Through the Lens – The Brook & The Bluff Single
There are weeks when my new music playlist updates and I am unimpressed. Last week was not one of those weeks. Most of the songs were good but “Back Through the Lens” by The Brook & The Bluff was my favorite tune. I do not feel like you can place this Alabama based band into…
Acceptance – Colliding By Design
When I was in college my roommate and I bought tickets to see the punk rock band Yellowcard. Little did I know I would walk away that night completely enamored by their opening act Acceptance. I remember the night fairly well. I was at New Brookland Tavern, a local bar and music venue in Columbia,…
Red Red Wine – UB40
Why am I posting about a song from 1983? Because it is my favorite song of all time. Honestly, I am not a huge reggae fan. I like it, but I know of very few reggae artists. I remember being a child, probably around 7 or 8 years old, and seeing the music video for…
Niall Horan – Flicker
Niall Horan’s debut album Flicker came out ten days ago! Have you taken the time to give it a good listen? If not, then you are missing out on something great. I posted about him a few weeks ago when he released “Too Much to Ask,” his third single off the album and began my countdown…
Don’t You Cry For Me – Cobi Single
Let me just start by saying, this guy can saaanng! I first heard the Minnesota native a few weeks ago when his song “Nobody Opened the Door” was added to one of my playlists. I was unsure of it in the beginning, but the powerful ending of the song quickly changed my mind. I did…
Israel Cannan – Lost & Found EP
I heard about Australian singer/songwriter Israel Cannan in January or February of this year. I started following Australian actor Nathaniel Buzolic on Instagram in late 2016 (my fellow supporters of the tv show The Originals know who I am talking about). He is a fantastic actor and photographer, and he has a very positive outlook…
My “Go To” Bands
Now that I have posted about a few new artists I love, I think it is important to write about the bands that help me get through this thing called life. You know, my “go to” bands. The tried and true. The Rocket Summer: This is Texas native Bryce Avary’s solo project. I first heard of…
