LC Feature: Lara Ewen

Lara Ewen’s upcoming single “Death Better Take Me Dancing,” is a bittersweet look at how we should be spending our final moments. It takes a brave person to broach the subject of death in song, and a remarkable one to set it to an upbeat tune that manages to convey both joy and strength.

LC Feature – Dave Beck

Dave Beck is releasing his debut album “Stranger Homes” this October. To get a taste of what the album is about, you can stream his song “Mississippi” right now. This is the kind of music I would play in my car during a road trip, with the windows rolled down, singing at the top of my lungs. Whether Dave sings about his roots in Iowa, or his new life in New York, the songs are completely relate-able, and even more importantly, singable.

LC Feature – September 2010: NONVIOLENCE

The tracks I’ve listened to by NONVIOLENCE are energetic, indie rock masterpieces. The vocals are both powerful and emotive, while remaining raw and real. The songs often tilt in unexpected directions, demanding multiple listens. Even more impressive is the drive band leader Joshua R. Lewis has shown to push the boundaries of what it means to be an independent artist.

LC Feature – October 2009: Kelli Rae Powell

Sometimes I think that Kelli Rae Powell has somehow stumbled out of America’s past, a bombshell torch singer with a ukulele… but then I listen to her lyrics and she reminds me that her mind is anything but old-fashioned. It’s a charming mixture of impressions, and added to it is a live performance that walks [...]

ABOUT MATT

First let me say that I represent Brooklyn but I was raised out of Jersey.

Now then, I wrote my first song when I was four years old, sitting on the floor of my father’s office, in a Manhattan law firm, where he was not happy. The song was called Beep-Beep-Bop-Bop-Bop-Beep – that was the hook anyway. Recording it on my dad’s Dictaphone, the message I was trying to get across was that brushing your teeth is fun, and important. Now my father is a psychologist and he is happy.
