STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
"Pacifico has just given us an epically beautiful song, 'Afterglow,' and it is definitely not one to miss."
I agree 100% with Up to Hear on this one!
Writer John Michie goes on to compare the slide guitar work on the tune to George Harrison and concludes, "This is a fantastic song that displays real craftsmanship."

Today, Melinda is in the house (to teach Alex Lilly how to tap)!
Alex had this cool side hustle during the early pandy where she took commissions to write what she calls "jingles for humans" (and even some pets). She says, "I have a hetero-girl crush on the supremely talented and unique Melinda Sullivan. Melinda's man asked me to write a jingle for her.
"Her jingle is a true story! We appeared in a music video together, pretended to kiss, and... oh, those lips! We also played at The Gardenia. The song is a play-by-play! I was delighted when she agreed to give me a tap lesson for the 'Melinda' video."
"Melinda" also features saxophone by James King from Fitz and the Tantrums, drums by Barbara Gruska from Belle Brigade, and bass by Gabe Noel. The new Alex Lilly album ππ¦π±π¦π΅πͺπ΅πͺπ°π― ππ΄ π ππͺπ― is out October 21 on Release Me Records.
Some Ivory Fields love over at BuzzBands.LA!
"Ivory Fields combines the talents of two of L.A.βs more plucky sonic explorers... Ivory Fieldsβ self-titled album, out Oct. 28, combines densely layered synths, beats, guitars and vocals in a way that at first blush seems amorphous β defiantly avant-garde swathes of sound that hint at dream-pop and dark, left-field techno."

Good morning!
The conversation about this feature story for Charleston Home + Design Magazine started two years ago as Mark Bryan was still in construction on his studio.
I absolutely love how the final piece turned out! On stands locally now, or you can check it out right here.
Many thanks to Micaela Arnett and Paige Taylor for seeing this through. The beautiful photography is by Callie Cranford.

"Melinda" lives!
Alex Lilly had this cool side hustle during the early pandy where she took commissions to write "theme songs for humans." Some of these songs, including this cut "Melinda," got developed into full productions on Alex's upcoming new album ππ¦π±π¦π΅πͺπ΅πͺπ°π― ππ΄ π ππͺπ― (October 21, Release Me Records).
Alex says, βMelinda is an incredible tap dancer and her hubby contacted me about writing a jingle in her honor. I was delighted as Iβve always been slightly (healthily) obsessed with her."
The tune also features saxophone by James King from Fitz & The Tantrums, drums by Barbara Gruska from Belle Brigade, and bass by Gabe Noel.

Did you know this week has been Banned Books Week?
