To All The Music Lovers . . .

I wanted to share some of my recent fav's in music. Some of the artists are well known and some not so much. I always love when someone shares a new song or a new band with me, so maybe I can offer a new song or artist to you!

  • BRETT DENNON - If you like Folk music, he has a very unique voice! One of my favorites is "She's Mine"
  • CHRIS O'BRIEN - he would also fall under the folk category. I haven't fully discovered all he has to offer, but I do know he has atleast one good song. "Hey Love"
  • CITY AND COLOUR - This one you should check out on youtube -he sports quite the pair of glasses! The lyrics of his music are interesting, but I like it! Check out "Body in a Box" and also "Hello, I'm a Deleware"
  • ANGIE APARO - an amazing song writer and singer! He actually wrote the song "cry" which is sung by Faith Hill. His version is incredible. He also does an excellent "Champagne Supernova" origionally sung by Oasis, and I would suggest listening to "Hush"
  • GOOD MORNING MAXFIELD - is actually a local band but can be found on youtube and i-tunes. I saw them perform in Logan and they put on a great show. Their enire album is good, but one of my favorites is "Lovers Past"
  • GRACE POTTER - has a variety of upbeat music and quiet pretty songs. I have the album "This is Somewhere" and love it. She has done a few songs for Grey's Anatomy and One Tree Hill. I would suggest "Falling or Flying" and "Apologies"
  • JOSH ROUSE - has an amazing album out titled "Nashville." I would say this is his best album by far. I love the song "Sad Eyes"
  • MISSY HIGGINS - is one of my all time favorites. I love every song on every album and can listen to them over and over. Not to mention her concert with Joshua Radin was one of the best I have ever been to! If she is new to you, I would point you towards three songs-- "Steer," "Where I Stood," and "Ten Days"
  • PRISCILLA AHN - I believe she is becoming better known, I have seen her music more and more lately. I would have to say "Dream" is one of her best!
  • SARA BAREILLES - "City" is one of those songs that could be on my life soundtrack- if you know what I am talking about. Not that the lyrics 100% fit, but the music does! It seems everyone knows Love song by Sara Bareilles, but she has a lot more to offer!
  • THE WEEPIES - Soooo Good! I can't tell you how many times I have listened to their music lately. I love artists that you can listen to the entire album over and over again. Songs that really impress me are "World Spins Madly on" and "Can't go back now"

  • ONCE - and last but not least is the soundtrack to the movie ONCE by Glen Hansard. I love the music before I even saw the film and now love the music 10x more! The most known song on the album is "Falling Slowly" but I have to say the whole thing is good.

I have such a passion for good music and love discovering a new favorite. If you have a favorite or a new discovery let me in on it!!!

I have made my blog playlist consist of a few of these songs for easy access. Enjoy!
