We had the pleasure of interviewing The Brummies over Zoom! The Brummies is an independent band of three embodied by the vocalists and instrumentalists, John Davidson and Jacob Bryant, and Trevor Davis playing drums. The band was formed when they were in high school inspired by several iconic artists such as My Morning Jacket, Elton John, ELO, The Beatles, and Blitzen Trapper. These influences inspired their psych-rock vibe incorporated with the soft-indie folk genre. Their success was rooted when Jacob and John poured their heart into writing music. They collaborated with different artists such as Band Perry with their song Done. The song was number one on Billboard's Country Airplay Chart back in the year 2013. Before forming The Brummies, they were a performing duo called John & Jacob. In 2014, they even released an independent album in which one of the singles called Be My Girl was on a television series, Nashville. One of their biggest milestones as a performing duo was when they were given an opportunity to open for Kacey Musgraves' tour, Trailer Different Park tour in 2014. They initially collaborated with Trevor Davis. After wrapping up the tour in 2015, Davis officially became part of the group and introduced themselves as The Brummies. https://open.spotify.com/artist/1B9SbgFtfWSlUvAd1y0AaA https://www.thebrummies.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZkmxICoApAzCIrazLxhIGw https://www.instagram.com/thebrummies/?hl=en We want to hear from you!

We had the pleasure of interviewing Drew Citron over Zoom video! Brooklyn indie-rock stalwart Drew Citron formed Beverly in 2013, after having got her start as a touring member with Frankie Rose and The Pains of Being Pure of Heart. Over the course of Beverly's two LPs, released on Kanine Records, Citron toured the world with big acts (The Drums, We Are Scientists). She and Beverly drummer, Scott Rosenthal (Class Actress, The Beets), would go on to open storied Bushwick music-venue, Alphaville, and more recently embark on the highly regarded post-punk outfit, Public Practice. In all these collaborative endeavors, Citron has been developing, refining, and ultimately giving life to what is her latest project, Free Now, due out Summer of 2020 on Park The Van. "Growing up in San Francisco, I used to take so many long melancholic walks listening to The Smiths on my Discman. And those walks now strike me as a kind of prelude to the feeling I'm getting at with this album," says Citron. "Most of the songs were written in Northern California, camped out on the coast recalling much of how it felt to be an adolescent of sixteen, in love with a record." Citron, after the break up of Beverly and the end of her long-term relationship with Rosenthal, writes a lot about heartbreak on Free Now. But at thirty-four, she's also arrived at the height of her performing/writing/producing abilities. "I am finally unafraid to get up on stage and be the front-person, to write all my own material, to get behind a mixing board and turn the knobs and produce my own songs," she says. "And it took time to get here. It takes time." In the recording, Citron recruited an extremely talented pool of musicians, recording with Sam Owens (aka Sam Evian) at Flying Cloud, Tim Wheeler (of Ash) at Atomic Heart, John Agnello (engineer: Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Kurt Vile) at Water Music, and Danny Taylor at Transmitter Park Studio. The song arrangements were worked out on stage night after night with Citron's backing band, comprised of Nico Hedley and Laura Catalano, so that when Citron went into the studio, the songs were, as they say, ready to go. With Free Now, Citron, one of the most beautiful voices in Indie Rock, comes to the table with a whole lot of pain to sing about and the full musical knowledge to put herself, and her talents, front, and center.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Ziggy Alberts over Zoom! An independent artist who flourished in the year 2018 for releasing his studio album Laps Around the Sun. Ziggy Alberts was once an aspiring singer-songwriter who turned these dreams into reality. He originated in the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Growing up, he was just around his own company since he was homeschooled. In terms of education, he didn't see himself to be engaged in music but rather in the field of dentistry and engineering which doesn't require a sense of creativity at all. It was in the midst of high school when he found his heart in writing songs. Imagine how much he had achieved within the 25 years of his existence. He founded the record label Commonfolk Records and released five records since the first day he first pursued music. His success was defined by his sold-out tours not just done locally but internationally. Considering his growing fan base, there's no doubt how much he has gained listeners from once a local artist to now an international icon. His soulful music is based on his lyrics that are pretty vivid, straightforward, and personal exploring his experiences and perspectives. You can feel his profound love for the environment too as he advocates for environmental preservation. It is in his blood to flash an image of what his audience needs to hear. https://open.spotify.com/artist/6tuPdaFPIytg3l2f51L7Hw Ziggyalberts.com https://twitter.com/ZiggyJanAlberts https://www.facebook.com/ziggyalbertspage/ https://www.instagram.com/ziggyalberts/?hl=en We want to hear from you!
