Music Monday

Discovering new music is exciting, especially if it’s a band that’s not quite popular yet, you almost feel like it’s a hidden gem. I’ve even added an app to my iPhone that keeps me updated on the bands that are playing in Philadelphia, from World CafĂ© Live to Johnny Brenda’s - - the app is called Philly Concert Hub (PCH) if you are interested.

I’ll share a few bands I’ve seen recently or am planning to see, but remember you heard it here first!

Library Voices: an indie pop band from Regina, Saskatchewan. Yes, they’re Canadian! There were about seven of them on stage and they sounded tremendous. For those who are musically inclined, the instruments they used included a Baritone Sax, a Gibson Night Hawk and a 12-string electric guitar. (MySpace)















Truth & Salvage Co.: self-described as “psychedelic country rock n roll.” A friend of mine discovered them in California and found out they were here in Philly last week so we went to see them last minute. I was pleasantly surprised – I’m not a big fan of country music, but it’s not overly country-twangy sounding if you know what I mean. (MySpace / Facebook)














Liz Longley: singer/songwriter, under the pop/adult contemporary genre. You’ve heard me talk about Jesse Ruben, well this is a friend of his from Berklee College of Music in Boston. She has a beautiful voice; I suggest you check her out. (MySpace / Facebook)

Fall Friday

Just wanted to share some pretty pictures I took outside my house on this lovely day...






















Love the way the light hits the leaves...


















Such vibrant colors.
