Watch Wall Perform "Birth To A Song"

The poignant and powerful ballad features emotional lyrics inspired by those who have helped Landon learn the craft of songwriting along the way in his young 14 year life.

​Landon states, “Birth Of A Song” is about the important role that mentors play in our lives:
“I’ve been blessed to have some amazing mentors since I started this musical journey. People who took the time out of their busy lives to help a little kid with a big dream. The older I get, the more I realize just how important they are. The “Old Guitar Picker” in the song represents every one that took the time to help and encourage me along the way. I’m hoping that when people hear my song, they will be reminded of the mentors that may have played a role in their lives.”
​
​(Press Release) Hailing from Trinity, NC. Landon is a member of the CMA and is affiliated with SESAC as a songwriter. He came to Nashville when he was only 9 years old to host a radio show and quickly fell in love with Music City. Every time Landon was in town he would go out on the street with his guitar and sing songs for whoever would pass by. Those street performances soon led to invitations to perform at venues such as Tequila Cowboy, Tootsies and many other venues along lower Broadway. Landon also has performed at The Nashville Palace, John A’s, BB Kings and the legendary Bluebird Cafe.

A Nashville songwriter (Tim McGraw, Billy Currington, and more) by way of Ontario, Donovan Woods brings his literate tunes to the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn in support of his forthcoming LP, Both Ways on May 8th.

A study in contrasts, Both Ways, deals with the
push-and-pull we experience in life, especially in relationships. As the lead track, “Good Lover” unfolds with acoustic instruments and Woods’ quietly compelling delivery. In fact, NPR Music has stated, "There are very few writers who can make you laugh and break your heart in the same song" as Woods shows the rare ability to distill complicated situations and emotions into songs that are intriguing and relatable. Come out and hear for yourself. Details below.

Where: Knitting Factory (361 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn)
When: Tuesday, May 8th
Time: 8pm
Tickets: $12/$15

(Press Release) Nashville’s Brandy Zdan has released “Get to You” the second single from her forthcoming album Secretear  out May 11 on Tallest Man Records. The first single ”I Want Your Trouble” released in March has garnered Zdan comparisons to female rockers who write big hooks like Chrissie Hynde and the GoGo’s.
 
 
The Beatles inspired “Get to You”  is a song about unrequited love. It was the very first song written for the album and happens to be Zdan’s personal favorite. Zdan co-produced  Secretear with Teddy Morgan, and recruited My Morning Jacket's Tom Blankenship and Carl Broemel to play on the record.  For this record Zdan shed a lot of her personal skin and her musical past, letting go of those things that held her back from being the best version of herself. The Juno award nominee went back to her rock roots with this album,  and decided to put everything on the line,  so much so that she blew out her voice and ran her fingers raw from playing guitar the first week of recording. Leading into this album release Zdan has been on the road winning over some tough crowds of guitar and blues purists, opening for Doyle Bramhall and then touring with the legendary Buddy Guy.
 
Zdan will be performing Secretear in full at Douglas Corner in Nashville on May 11th. Her band for the show will feature Carl Broemel (guitar, pedal steel) and Tom Blankenship (bass) of My Morning Jacket, and Aaron Haynes of The Texas Gentlemen (drums). The show is free with RSVP.

Today, Portland, OR-based singer-songwriter John Craigie shared "Scarlet," the lead single from his new full length Scarecrow. The completely analog album, out 4/21, was recorded live to a 2 inch tape, mastered to tape, and cut straight to be pressed to vinyl.

“These are songs written for last year’s No Rain, No Rose, but were cut from the album because they’re slower and softer in feel than the rest of that album,” Craigie explains. “They are sort of homeless songs, which is one reason why I used the name Scarecrow. They are songs that are out alone in a field.”
 
“I have always loved records as a whole," he writes. "Even when I was a kid it was very important for me to hear the whole record, in order, from start to finish. I liked going through the journey, some songs good, some songs bad. Seeing where the artist would place the 'hits' vs. where they would place the deep cuts. What songs they would open with, and which songs they would close with.”
