Band: Meg & Dia
Album: Something Real

Meg and Dia are the much needed Kick in the ass that the music scene needs right now. Truly talented vocals meet flowing licks of poetry on this first release from the quartet. Listening is enough to grab the liner notes and begin your personal deciphering. Not the typical vibe or feel you may get from most girl fronted bands…these ladies step up to the plate with a bat of originality both in song composition and lyrics. Goose bumps rage on “Indiana” while other tracks hit a more somber feel. Great story telling. Great Rock n’ Roll. A must have in the collection.

Band: Soul Live
Album: Breakout

A fusion of Jazz & hip-hop that you can trip out to for a bit and get lost. This is mostly an instrumental album full of tight arrangements, groove and soul and my favorite thing is definitely the keys on the album as they seem to drive many of the tracks as the stand-out player. An album to relax to.
