Gloriana

So this band you might have heard of before. But as I was browsing on the internet I stumbled across one of their songs entitled "How far do you wanna go?"  and I really liked it. It has a country pop rock feel to it. It made me and my friend get out of our seats and start moving. The vibe is really up beat. If you like Rascall Flatts I really think you will enjoy their music. Check it out.

So some interesting facts...

The band features a unique mixture of two males and two females.

They will be touring with Taylor Swift.

They won an American Music Breakthrough Award this past year. 

Cheyenne Kimball is a member of the band. Cheyenne had a show on MTV a few years ago when she was pursuing a career as a solo artist. One of her top selling songs was "Hanging on," which is definitely a Taylor Swift style song. She has obviously matured over the years and so has her music style. She sings and plays the mandolin for Gloriana.

Check out their music on itunes or go to the website.

Butterfly Boucher

Butterfly Boucher is an extraordinary music artist who started her career in her home country of Australia, and eventually found herself signing record deals in the U.S. I first heard her music when I bought the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack on itunes. The soundtrack from season 1 features her song "Life is Short" which is a song about how you can't avoid the irony of life, so you should just go out and seize every moment of it. Her lyrics are very poetic and her sound is that of a pop/rock persuasion, instead of relying solely on an electric guitar, you will find the sound of the acoustic guitar comes through very powerful within her music.

Butterfly Boucher - "I can't make me"

Many children may know Butterfly Boucher from the blockbuster hit "Shrek." In "Shrek 2" Butterfly Boucher covered the song "Changes."  Which is featured on the soundtrack and is her most popular song on itunes.

Check out more of her music on her myspace and buy her music on itunes.

Miss Li

I am sure many people have heard  Miss Li and don't even notice it. Check this video out and maybe it will remind you... (the song is called "Bourgeois Shangri-La")



Miss Li, is a jazz/pop/indie music artist that hails from Sweden. Her music has a retro pop old jazz crossover feel to it. It really just makes you happy. Her voice is very unique sounding. When I looked into her music I found another song that I really liked entitled "Dancing the way home." You can check out some of her songs on her myspace page. You can also add her a a fan on facebook.

She has 72 songs available for purchase on itunes. I would highly recommend checking some of the songs out.

Darren McGee

I am currently attending Ithaca College, and there are certainly plenty of musicians here on campus that have amazing musical talents. The other day I had the chance of listening to an original song written and performed by one of my fellow classmates. His name is Darren McGee. When I heard his song "torn" I was very impressed, and decided to look into more of his music.

All of his music is acoustic. I can compare his music to John Mayer somewhat. He voice is really what sold the music to me, it has a coffee house vibe to it. So if you like John Mayer, Jason Mraz or Jack Johnson, I am sure you will enjoy Darren's music.





To check Darren out you can go to his website www.darrenmcgeemusic.com. There you can listen to all of his music and even get in contact with him. You can also fan Darren on his Facebook.

So, here is the skinny.. I made this blog because I enjoy listening to all different kinds of music. Most of it is new artists or things that most people haven't really heard of. So, whenever I hear music that I feel the rest of the world should hear, I will post it to the blog so everyone can check it out. I hope you really enjoy my choices! If you do please support the music artists, they really deserve it.

Also make sure you become a follower of the blog.. so you can keep updated on all the new music artists I post about.
