Brought together by a passion for music and unity in the face of adversity, Adam’s Attic inspires listeners with an honest and open sound. From their New Orleans roots to their current home of Los Angeles, the alternative, pop/rock band has matured musically and captivated audiences on a global scale. The band of brothers wrapped their fifth international tour in 2014.

“While here (New Orleans), the band proved itself to be one of the rising stars on the scene,” remarked Todd Miller, Talent Buyer for House of Blues.

In August 2005, one of the five deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history struck the north-central Gulf Coast region destroying much of their home in New Orleans. Through the devastation, Adam’s Attic was forced out of its comfort zone and responded by bonding together and stepping out on a limb. Joe Henry, Adam’s Attic front man, said, “Some of us lost everything we had, with the exception of our music gear and some personal items; all of the venues we played were closed or out of business. Only a week before Katrina, we were given the most amazing opportunity to open for Lifehouse at House of Blues New Orleans. We had to act.”

Leaving behind everything they had built in the hopes of recreating past successes, the musicians moved across the country and settled in California. Adam’s Attic had nothing but their gear and souls brimming with emotions.

Helen Perris explores grief and mental illness with new single ‘Be There’Australian songwriter unveils uplifting piano-driven pop ballad

Available now via a global digital release, ‘Be There’ is the emotive new single from multi-instrumentalist songwriter Helen Perris. Often compared to legendary songwriters Kate Bush, Tori Amos and Ben Folds, her music utilises the powerful female vocals of Amos, the offbeat sensibility of Bush, and the piano driven melodies of Folds to create something uniquely captivating.

The new single comes from a distinctly personal place, written while she was suffering from post-natal depression. It’s simultaneously about finding inner strength and reaching out to those who need support in times of grief and emotional struggle. With a moving film clip produced by One Dream Media, ‘Be There’ is out now and can be heard below:

Cody Joe Hodges started playing music at an early age, but it wasn’t until his senior year in high school that he became serious about his art.  Impassioned by country greats from the 70's and 80's, Cody Joe wrote his first song, “Daddy’s Dream”, his freshman year in the dorms at Texas A&M University.

Not long after graduating from A&M in 2006, the young talent parachuted into Nashville, where he found a place to stay with Jay Andrews, a pedal steel guitar player with a distinguished résumé (worked with Johnny Paycheck for many years).   Cody Joe landed a job on Broadway (Nashville) in '06, where he worked several venues -  and every once in a while, was allowed the opportunity of sitting in with one of the bands.  After a short stay in Nashville, he decided to move back to Texas, take a break from music, and joined the Army.

While in the Army, he was performing original music with a homeless man on a street corner in Colorado Springs, CO and was discovered by a military affiliate.  He was then asked to audition for one of the Army's music groups, "Harmony in Motion," a vocal ensemble based out of Fort Carson, Colorado.  After auditioning with "The National Anthem" and an original tune, "Daddy's Dream", they extended an offer to join them, and Cody Joe began traveling across America playing for large entertainment venues and private military events.  

Upon discharge, his dad (a veteran lineman) had a talk with him about a career in the power line business (as a lineman). This sounded like something exciting and also a great opportunity to draw upon for songwriting, so he returned to the energy field in 2010.  At the same time, he started a band with the help of his buddy, Dan Kuciemba, and a couple of students from Texas A&M, Tyler Gregg and Matt Westwick.  Calling themselves “The Linemen”, they teamed up with legendary Pedal Steel Guitist - Steve Palousek and came out with their first album as a band in 2012.

In 2012, everything started to take a different turn with each member leaving the band for various reasons. In the spring of 2013, Cody Joe decided to exit out of the power line business and focus energy on his music as a solo artist, putting faith in whatever plans God had for him.  It has been a blessing thus far, with his first recording contract signed in Dec. ’13 (Tate Music Group - Oklahoma).

Cody Joe Hodges released "The Good Stuff" album in November 2014, in which 6 songs he co-wrote with his wife Jamie.

Cody Joe's debut radio release "Getting Back to Country" (co-written with Jamie) from the album, "The Good Stuff", was a success on the Texas Charts.  It peaked at #24 on the Texas Regional Radio Report and #26 on the Texas Music Chart.  It also hit #12 on the International Country Music Chart, and #1 on the Fan-Voted Chart (the first Texas artist to reach #1 on the charts since it's inception in 1998).

In 2014, Cody Joe teamed up with Lamon Records, a Sony independent label out of Nashville,Tennessee to record a four song EP entitled "One More Drink".  The EP was released May 5, 2015, along with  the EP's titled single, "One More Drink" (co-written with Jamie) and a music video.  "One More Drink" hit #1 on the International Country Music Chart".

Cody Joe Hodges was named the 2016 Male Rising Star of the Year by the Country Music Association of Texas.

Formed:Waco, TX 1990Members:Roderick Clark Tony Thompson Toriano Easley Treston IrbyRussell Neal Marcus Sanders Shannon GillA Southwestern R&B ensemble, Hi-Five found success with a sound that updated elements of the Jackson 5 and New Edition. The quintet debuted on Jive in 1990 with a self-titled album, which featured a Top Ten pop hit with "I Can't Wait Another Minute," as well as the number one hit "I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)." Their 1992 LP Keep It Goin' On had another Top Ten pop hit in "She's Playing Hard to Get."

Tragically, Thompson died on June 1, 2007, in his hometown of Waco, Texas. Three of the group's early members, as well as two new members, resumed Hi-Five and released the single "Favorite Girl" in 2012.

Plunky & Oneness continue their decades long output of extraordinary music with their latest album, Juju Jazz Funk.  Produced by band master, J. Plunky Branch, with son, Fire, the new album is a distinctive and notable collection of melodies and messages for modern music lovers.  Juju Jazz Funk contains nine original songs, along with two bonus tracks recorded live at a 2016 summer concert when the group performed with George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic.

Plunky, the ageless sage (think Quincy Jones, Hugh Masekela and George Clinton), recently published his autobiography, Juju Jazz Funk & Oneness.  Though released separately, the new CD is the book’s companion piece.  Together, the two works document the fusion of Plunky’s musical and philosophical visions.  The range of cross-generational creativity is on full display in the variety of the grooves and the consciousness raising songs on Juju Jazz Funk.

The album represents an intersection of current and cutting-edge. There are two contemporary jazz pieces on the album: “Move Forward,” a funky instrumental just right for a party or smooth jazz radio playlist; and “One Love One Us,” a soulful excursion featuring the lyrics and vocals of Charlayne “Chyp” Green, Plunky’s longtime creative collaborator.  Straight-up, old school funk is represented by new versions of two previously released songs: “This Is Our Time,” written by Plunky; and “Plastic (Is Easy to See Through),” penned by Plunky’s brother, Muzi, a mainstay, of the group for over 40 years.  While these two songs were written decades ago, the funk and their messages are as timely and relevant as ever.

The underlying meaning in Plunky’s “Seize the Time” is simple, direct and moving.  While the mood of the song is somber R&B, the message is uplifting.

1980's Hard Rock Inspiration: Making People Laugh with Music

[musicsight]

Though only ten, Ty Waters is poised for greatness in American popular music. This child prodigy singer from Vancouver, Canada, has already wowed artists from Michael Bublé to Stevie Wonder, performed at the infamous Carnegie Hall four times and won American Protege's Vocal Competitions. Here are a couple more recent ways he stands out:

He recently brought a crowd of a 100,000 to rapture in Santa Barbara with his superb live renditions of "At Last," and "Only Human."

Named Youth Ambassador for music education he performed at Wilshire Ebell Theater to a two minute standing ovation.

As he moves into the world of composition and recording, Waters is making surprisingly mature and timely statements about the state of the country and the world. Waters has just completed his debut album, Only Human. The title track video was just previewed on KKFX (Fox 11) on the morning show, giving the central coast the first taste of what this remarkable young man has to offer the world.

But what stands out about Ty Waters, is what he has overcome to be in the position he is today. Born in Vancouver to Filipino parents, he reached the age of two with delayed speech. There would be a two-year wait before he could take advantage of public health system's speech therapy treatment. His parents investigated alternatives, including music therapy. So they improvised, teaching Ty various nursery rhymes. To their surprise, Ty started to jazz up these nursery rhymes on his own. His parents recognized his interest in singing and started showing him clip after clip of classic pop performances by the likes of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Lionel Richie, and Etta James. The effect was instantaneous. Young Ty began mimicking rhythms, melodies and words perfectly, shattering what had seemed an insurmountable challenge in speech.

Brooklyn band Men In My Head just released their hot new album titled Fallen Ash, produced by award-winning music producer/engineer Arty Skye from SkyeLab Music.

This album features two of their most successful singles entitled “Survivor Tree” and “Century Love featuring 50 Cent”.  Both singles were #1 for 23 Weeks on the Billboard Hot Single Sales Chart and sold a combined total of over 500,000 singles. Century Love is proven to be a huge success as it was the best selling CD single of 2015. Fallen Ash also features the incredible artists Andrea Martin and rap duo IOU on their song “We Are Not Broken”, which is a beautiful and heartfelt anthem about how New Yorkers persevered after 911.

Men In My Head has donated the proceeds from the sale of these 2 songs (over $400,000) to the charity Tuesday’s Children, which helps the families of the victims of the 911 tragedy.

The sound of Men In My Head is a mix of alternative rock and funk, with hints of blues and soul.  Their sound is similar to those of the classic bands that rocked the world over the years, including artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beck, and the Killers. Front man, guitarist, and songwriter Eddie Gindi creates songs about life’s journeys, relationships, joys and pains, challenges faced, and dreams not yet realized. For these rock aficionados, writing songs and playing original music is the ultimate expression of their inner selves. As Eddie Gindi elegantly puts it, “There is no better feeling than from the moment when I first have an idea about a new song to when the band plays it for the first time and it comes to life.”

Drive On Mak is a neo-blues/rock/punkabilly power trio hailing from San Marcos, Texas. Their unique sound, combining somber tones mixed with strident choruses, is propelling Drive On Mak to become one of the premier rock and roll acts in the Austin/San Marcos region.

Fronted by lead singer/songwriter/guitarist Sean Makra (a former soldier and 3 time Iraq veteran), along with his powerful rhythm section consisting of drummer Scott Feigh and bassist Jason Bilderback, Drive On Mak delves into the concepts of revolution and war, with epic depictions of combat influenced by Sean's wartime experience.  Drive On Mak addresses  subjects such as post-war PTSD, explorations on spirituality, and themes of love and loss, doing so in a way that is thought provoking and subtle, yet unabashedly angry and powerful, forcing the listener to confront these realities of life that are often buried by society.

While Drive On Mak continues to hone their craft in the Central Texas music scene, the revolutionary themes of their music,  combined with their tight and precise musical style, make them primed to explode onto the national stage and beyond.

WHEN THE HEART OF TEXAS COMES BACK HOME

Brian Lee Robinson pens more of his poetically honest songs on his latest EP, "The Texas Side of Nashville", displaying a rich blend of Americana and folk songwriting.

"My music comes from the heart, the words are a piece of my soul. Ink flows just like blood from my veins, from the pen to the paper below." Brian Lee Robinson, Written With Blood.

(HOUSTON, TEXAS, U.S.A.) August 1, 2016– Singer-songwriter Brian Lee Robinson has the uncanny ability to compose his poetic ideas into honest beautiful songs. His latest EP, The Texas Side of Nashville, is country music in its truest form. In this project, Brian fuses storytelling and melodic musical scores into his trademark “Heart of Texas” style.

The Texas Side of Nashville consists of four tracks each based on Brian’s life experiences. Brian taps into his deep down emotions and uses them to empower his poetic songwriting skills. The result is an array of harmonious storytelling lyrics and melodies. Brian’s creative goal of this EP was to harness his artistry and achieve, “... redemption for my self-inflicted past, and for my future in country music.”

To Robinson, his lyrics and music are the tools he utilizes to bring his stories to life. This fact shines through within The Texas Side of Nashville. Brian’s talent was handed down to him by his father who passed away when he was only eight years old. He was a hit songwriter himself, Brian would find out years later. Brian’s draws inspiration from the Greats of Hank Williams Sr. and Jr., Willie Nelson,Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson. By the age of twenty-one, Brian moved to Nashville and landed a job at Merit Music Publishing. This position opened a door of opportunity for him to meet talented writers such as; Roger Alan Wade, Jerry Barlow, Keith Palmer, and Mentor Williams, among many others.
