STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
Twangville has a personal Q&A with Mark Bryan, the Hootie and The Blowfish lead guitarist whose solo album Midlife Priceless is due April 2 from Slow Start Records. There are a few great stories here, going all the way back to the pre-Hootie days when Mark was writing songs while grounded as a teen.
Mark has released three singles from Midlife Priceless, and the fourth - called “Explain That To A Heart,” a cowrite with Wyatt Durette (the Zac Brown Band, Luke Combs) - comes on Friday.
Terry Borden of Blesson Roy is the guest on the newest edition of the Stereo Embers Podcast hosted by Alex Green, who says his debut LP “Think Like Spring is emotional, thoughtful and vulnerable and it soars mightily away with the kind of muscle and grace that brings to mind everything from the Cocteau Twins to RIDE." Listen wherever you enjoy podcasts.
Visit Talkhouse for an insightful conversation between Mark Pellington and Matthew Caws (Nada Surf).
Pellington recently directed the Nada Surf music film “Just Wait,” which Talkhouse calls “striking, timely and deeply resonant." Personally, these are some of the most compelling and moving visuals I've seen this year.
Ditty TV asked Mark Bryan some great questions in a recent interview. Mark has always been a stalwart supporter of the Charleston, SC music scene, and he’s made this Spotify playlist featuring the local artists he brought up in the interview.
Mark’s upcoming album, Midlife Priceless, is due April 2 from Stone Point/Slow Start Records.
"Top-notch indie pop-rock tracks abound" on the new LP from The High Water Marks, according to Big Takeover. Out today (Nov. 13), Ecstasy Rhymes is the first album in 13 years from Hilarie Sidney- a former member of The Apples In Stereo and the sole female founder of the massively influential Elephant 6 collective.
Hear a full album stream of what The Big Takeover calls “38 minutes of perfect power-pop,” along with an enlightening Q&A session between bandleader Sidney and her musical mates.
