A Little More Vodka, A Little Less Milk is usually a space dedicated to the lesser known and harder to find artists, and to be clear, this will always my focus: finding the jewels in the rough in a desert of music. While Jason Mraz does not fill that category, I’m including him here as much for his social activism as for his great pop music. Just 36 years old, Jason Mraz has a successful musical career that dates back to 1999,…
Read MoreAbout 5 months ago, I reviewed the fun folk-country-pop of Flagship Romance and their song Treason from their debut EP, The Fudge Sessions (January 2013). These two provide such beautiful harmonies and incredible melodies, that they deserve yet another look. Hit The Ground is a true testament to this duo’s love for each other and yet another look at those oh so important harmonies. If you can carry a tune in a bucket, you will easily be singing along with all of Flagship…

Krissy Krissy has the passion and natural ability for pop music song-craft. Those…

They are a little bit of pop-rock heaven. Get Up is from their July 2013 long-player of the same name. Think of Wiretree as 60’s and 70’s influenced pop-rock, with plenty of today’s musical influences to keep them relevant. You can find more information on Wiretree by visiting their web…
