Iphone 6 For Sale In Nashville

Stopping off after driving my kids to school, I couldn’t help but notice the long line outside the local Verizon Wireless building filled with major fans of the Apple brand waiting in line for the iPhone 6. It struck me as something that is important to artists and music fans and audio junkies. Why not? Many of us are involved in recording and certainly listening to music on our devices and I am personally interested, and hopefully you are too, in the ability to listen to podcasts like The Nashville Rocks Podcast on your iPhone 6. There has been much hype about Read more →

Sleepwave Releases Broken Compass – AP Review

September 16, 2014 Leave a comment

Much of Broken Compass is a Direct Adrenaline Rush

Last year, Spencer Chamberlain promised that Sleepwave, his new musical vehicle with multi-instrumentalist/programmer Stephen Bowman, was going to snatch rock music away from the codified auspices of businessmen and bring back the unvarnished honesty he felt the first time he heard bands like Nirvana and Alice In Chains. To that end, the duo (along with producer David Bendeth) have made an album that transcends the radio-rock wasteland, as well as the furious menace Chamberlain was a part of during his stint in Underoath. There’s a certain kind of chrome-plated nostalgia at play on Broken Compass, one that hearkens back to the glory days of Alternative Nation, where bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails and Filter held court and garnered mass acclaim, but not at the expense of extracting their personalities from their art.

Brett Eldredge opened the biggest year of his career in 2013

With a chart-topping smash, “Don’t Ya” (written by Eldredge, Chris DeStefano and Ashley Gorley). He also toured with Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift, and has made numerous media appearances, including atop a float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

His first single, “Raymond” (Eldredge and Truman Bradley Crisler), a heartfelt song about an elderly woman with Alzheimer’s, was released to critical acclaim but mediocre chart achievement. When a second single failed to reach the Top 40, he decided to pause, regroup and ultimately work even harder to make his Read more →

How to Thwart Music Equipment Theft

From rock stars to up-and-comers towing trailers, too many artists and musicians have been victims of equipment theft. Whether it’s Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers losing five vintage guitars during a soundcheck to a sticky-fingered security guard, or Country newcomer JJ Lawhorn being ripped off for $4,000 worth of gear from his band’s van while checking into a hotel in Valdosta, Ga., no one is Read more →
