There is something deceptively glamorous about the life of a cabaret singer. The lights are low, the gowns shimmer, the applause rises like champagne bubbles, and for a fleeting moment the audience sees only elegance. What they rarely see is the war behind the curtain. For performers like Quinn Lemley, survival in entertainment is not simply

What begins as a tragic mystery quickly darkens into something far more sinister. In Reverend Daniel Michaels’ pocket is a flash drive. The files Claire left behind—journals, photos, recordings—implicate trusted leaders from a quiet Michigan town of an unspeakable dreadfulness. They are names that Daniel knows. Faces that sit in his pews. Now, Daniel stands

Congratulations once again to Randy Edelman for winning the Broadway World Award once again for the second year in a row. This year he was honored for Best Solo Performance at Carnegie Hall and Best Original Song “21 Again” off his album release “Waltzing On A High Wire.” Edelman is an acclaimed American composer and
The man behind the music, the vision behind the legacy In an industry where stars rise and fade like constellations in constant motion, few names shine with the steady brilliance of John Velasco. For decades, his influence has rippled across the worlds of music, film, publishing, and artist development — shaping not only careers, but
Ah, “Summer Girl (Redux),” by The High Plains Drifters—how could one describe it without invoking amazing tales of fleeting love and scorching passion, like the song of some doomed knight chasing a dragon’s tail across the burning sands of Dorne? The anthem rolls in like the hot winds of summer, teasing and tantalizing with promises
Times Square NYC, often called the crossroads of the world, was the scene for the “Pause The World For Peace”, a 5 hour concert celebrating the 40th Anniversary of International Peace Day declared by the United Nations in 1984. Amidst the dazzling billboards, the vibrant blue skyline and the 10 foot Friendship and Peace Tree loomed
You’ve got to give Pangaea their props. Not every band would try their hand at covering a Beatles classic. Over a half century since they first wowed global audiences the Fab Four remain a cultural touchstone for musicians and listeners across generational lines. “Come Together” may not possess the impact of other Beatles fare such
As a music enthusiast who often finds solace in the eclectic realms of indie pop and electronic beats, delving into the world of Universal Dice’s “Once Upon A Time” felt like embarking on a thrilling expedition into uncharted territory. With a fresh perspective and an open mind, I approached this single with a sense of
Labeling Alex Wellkers’ Fly Away as any specific musical style does a profound disservice to the album’s ambition. The Switzerland-based musician, singer, arranger, and songwriter has an elastic musical ambition that encompasses several different styles, sometimes within the same song, rather than restraining himself to a particular point of view. Fly Away’s eleven songs touch on hard rock,
A fifteen-track instrumental album inspired by Michigan poet Marty Achatz mixing progressive, folk, indie rock, and jazz influences may seem to guarantee an eye-roll-inducing amount of pretentiousness. Streaking in Tongues’ Einstein’s Napkin defies such expectations. I’m suitably impressed. The fifteen performances recorded by father and son team Ronnie and Elliott Ferguson never overreach. Only two of the
Huntah Anarkelda Finnie, a luminous figure standing at five feet seven inches, with cascading brown hair and eyes the color of hazel, emerges as a multifaceted talent swiftly carving her path through the labyrinth of the entertainment industry. Across various mediums, she effortlessly navigates the realms of singing, acting, and dancing, each step propelling her
Jessica Lowndes’ new album 88 opens with the track “My Everything”, and it is difficult to imagine a better kickoff. It is representative of the album’s contents. The measured pace of the opener isn’t any impediment to building energy as the structure of the song plus Lowndes’ singing strikes an inspired note throughout. Its exultant mood carries
Alex Haughey’s new film is Under the Influencer, now available on streaming (Apple TV, Amazon). At first glance, the zany satirical comedy feels like something akin to a Harmony Korine picture, complete with dazzling color, meticulous framing (shout out to cinematographer Matthew Lynn, QC’s It Lives Inside), and strange and offbeat characterization. Quickly though, we’re

Dianña’s single “Missing You Underneath the Mistletoe” boasts the timeless qualities that virtually every Christmas song aspires to. Even one play of the track makes it abundantly clear that she began the song’s recording process with a clear idea of exactly what she wished to accomplish with the song. She pulls it off without ever
In her new single “Too Much & Not Enough” Hannah Ellis has a style that some might be quick to describe as similar to the retro Nashville pop sound a lot of singer/songwriters tried to salvage as their own in the late 2010s, but from my perspective, the track and its companion video are far superior
New York City native and now Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Ally Bakst is what I call a “lifer”. She has sung since before she could even talk and, when she began applying herself to music in earnest, started composing songs on piano and guitar. The recent USC graduate recently began collaborating with composer and producer Mark
Marc Miner’s Last Heroes earned my respect and love after a single listen. Miner’s obviously a fan of classic country, but anyone expecting a dyed-in-the-wool retro release will either be disappointed or relieved. The European-born German/American songwriter, based in Vienna, Austria, mixes other influences into his musical concoction such as rock and blues. He invariably returns, however,
Diane Gentile and the Gentle Men kick off Gentile’s third solo release The Bad and the Beautiful with “Lace Up Your Sneakers”. The obvious buoyancy of the track pulled me in from the start as she begins the song with an up-tempo musical fanfare that lifts you up for what follows. The steadily percolating pace of the
In his new single “Sunshine,” pop artist Lucas Jay turns his focus to the dance-inspired element of his sound and entirely abandons the notion of somber surrealism in his artistry at the door. From the moment we press the play button forward, Jay is on top of us with a rhythmic swing from the strings
Oh, PRETTY AWKWARD, you had me at weird. The Seattle band’s new album Get Weird does just that. No one else I’ve heard recently has this sort of quirky, one-of-a-kind take on alternative pop-rock. They aren’t inhabiting totally alien terrain, you’ll know where you are the first song in, but I love how the musical brain trust
Luke and Jake Davies’ band OF LIMBO deals in ruthless, unforgiving hard rock. They’ve released a spate of singles and an EP thus far – last year’s call-to-arms anthem “Let’s Go”, and the new single from these Southern California riff-merchants entitled “California Demon” further ups the ante. They’re going for broke with this new sonic
SILENT SKIES, the cinematic project of EVERGREY’s Tom S. Englund and acclaimed US-based pianist/composer Vikram Shankar (Redemption, Lux Terminus), are releasing their dream-like third studio album, Dormant, on September 1, 2023 via Napalm Records. Continuing on the atmospheric path of Scandinavian melancholy charted on their previous full-lengths, Nectar (2022) and Satellites (2020), Dormant features stunning piano melodies, atmospheric keyboards, lush and expansive soundscapes, and
When a song is born the world is altered in an instant. Each song is as magical to the artist as well as the world. Jon Butcher’s album “Special Day” makes life a little bit sweeter and as humans it is our right to relish every moment. Grammy nominated singer, songwriter, guitarist Jon Butcher is
