“I want to run to the edge/Throw caution to the wind/Part of life is risking it all.”

Jamie Lynn Noon is moving her music career forward in leaps and bounds. This multi-talented singer-songwriter from the California Bay Area is reaching out to fans through Facebook, MySpace and many other services that help her connect with her fans. She is also getting her songs played in places that some artists can only dream about.

Recent news on her website shows that Jamie Lynn has seen airplay on the show Saints and Sinners, on the daytime drama All My Children, and even on in-flight radio with Delta Airlines.

Her recent release “A Moment to Break” is

Co-produced by Jamie and film/television music veteran and producer Kevin Harris and mastered by Grammy Award-winning engineer Brian Gardner (No Doubt/Christina Aguilera/Avril Lavigne), A Moment to Break showcases six songs spanning the best of Jamie’s already-vast catalogue. From the inquisitive “I’m Trying” (one of the very first songs Jamie ever wrote – fresh out of high school) to the autobiographical “Waste It on You” (“a raw, emotionally honest work”), Jamie’s EP is a brilliant encapsulation of a fresh young talent on the verge of super-stardom.

Another great place to hear Jamie Lynn Noon is on the online radio service, Pandora. The album “A Moment to Break” has been added to the rotation. You can even get her album and all the latest news about her on her iPhone app.

One of the songs that you will hear in this episode is “‘Til Ya Make It”. This song has a story and history all its own. According to her site:

Jamie is also releasing a separate single, “’Til Ya Make It,” produced by Grammy and Oscar-nominated producer/songwriter, Jud Friedman (Whitney Houston/James Ingram/Kenny Loggins), the song which led her to form the ‘Til Ya Make It Organization (www.tilyamakeit.com) – a website in development which will advocate charitable causes and provide a forum for her fans to come together and share their own stories about overcoming hardships.

The Lives of the Monster Dogs

Songs Played

- Cassandra
- Cottonmouth
- Full Moon
- Echo

“The Lives of the Monster Dogs is a rock band with a southern drawl. The Monster Dogs took their name from a modern day “Frankenstein” story (but with dogs) by Kirsten Bakis…”

All I can really say about The Lives of the Monster Dogs is, “Wow, this is some great music!” Okay, I can certainly say more, but this is what I thought when I first visited the band’s ReverbNation profile and listened to their tunes. Each tune I heard captured me fully. I often scan through the first few seconds of a band that I’m exploring before moving to the next track. I can guarantee that I listened straight through every song on this group’s profile.

Regarding the reference to Frankenstein above, the band is:

…much like the stitching together of many different parts to make “the monster”, this band’s creation is rock music interwoven with blues, country, and pop. With the “salt of the earth” appeal of Bruce Springsteen and CCR, along with the post “80′s”, introspective and sometimes moody song writing of bands like Radiohead, the Monster Dogs bring to life their own brand of music.

“The Lives of the Monster Dogs” is vocalist/guitarist Melinda Kingsley; Grace Buford on keyboard, guitar and backing vocals; drummer and percussionist Becky Dalke; and KT Bitner on bass.

They are in the studio at the time of this writing finishing the final tracks for theirnew self-titled CD. I can promise you, dear readers and listeners, that I will be moving to purchase this one as soon as it is available. I have long been a fan of one member of the band, Grace Buford. She has put her solo projects aside to concentrate on her involvement with The Lives of the Monster Dogs. I can surely understand why she would want to do so. The combination of talent in the band works. It works well.

Matt Stevens

Songs Played

- 8.19
- Into the Sea
- Lake Man
- Ghost

“A solo album that I can only describe as magnificent. So inspired, anything thus guy touches is genius, from guitar to bass to… mellotron? Oh yes, you know you want this.” Veins Dried Out

“A seriously amazing album, this will f**king move you, seriously SERIOUSLY brilliant! Go and listen to it, I WILL be checking!” Nick Tann Is This Thing On Podcast

“Ghost is a far more mature, multi-faceted release, which sees him finding his true artistic and creative voice, integrating influences more fluidly and satisfactorily and if he maintains this creative purple patch, provides a platform for even greater achievements to come.” Stumpy Bunker

Every now and then an artist does things that I’ve thought, “I should’ve been able to do that!” But… I never did. Matt Stevens has taken the tools available to most guitarists and learned how to make them do what he wants them to do: help make great music. His technique for looping — or live multi-layered performance — has enabled him to provide music for audiences beyond the typical solo acoustic guitar performance.

According to Matt’s web site:

He has composed for short films (including the award winning Daddys Little Helper) and his live work is often compared to watching a one man guitar orchestra or wall of sound.

He has just released his second album Ghost. His well received first album Echo is also available. [links to both are below]

I’ve been a fan of Matt Stevens since I heard tracks from his album Echo. I’m also very impressed with his ability to create a buzz through online opportunities such as Twitter, Facebook and UStream. He performs live on UStream.tv frequently. This has helped him build fans and audiences across the globe.

Stumpy Bunker recently said:

“By using Twitter and Facebook, he has created a buzz about his music both solo and with the amazing ‘Fierce and the Dead’ combo (look out for the astonishing ‘Part 1′ release – www.fierceandthedead.com) , collaborative efforts such as the innovative Cafenoodle, and by clever use of online gigs and public rehearsals via Ustream. Well known for his use of live and recorded looping techniques, Stevens is beginning to widen and improve his creative vision exponentially.”

Dave Sasscer

Songs Played

- Ella
- Aguadilla
- Todos Reconocen
- Puerto Rico
- Quiet Mind

Dave is a New York City based singer songwriter. He was raised in Puerto Rico and currently performs his mesmerizing version of polyglot Spanish and English rock and reggae songs in clubs around New York City. He has just released his new album of Spanish Rock songs called “Cuentos de la Porta Del Sol (Capitulo Uno); available on iTunes and other online outlets.

I was looking for a sound that I hadn’t played on Audio Gumshoe in awhile. It seemed to me that a latin feel was in order. I started my search this time at Ariel Publicity. Imagine my surprise when I clicked on the very first artist and found that he was, indeed, a latin performer.

What I liked about Dave Sasscer at the first listen was that his music didn’t simply provide latin rhythms — it also provided a natural groove and feel that made the toe tap and the body sway. Whether physically or emotionally, music should move us. Sasscer’s tunes did this for me as soon as I began to explore his songs.

Dave Sasscer’s album “Cuentos de la Porta Del Sol (Capitulo Uno)” reflects his ability to not only share the feel of his birth-land Puerto Rico, but the influences he cites. Dave says he “…learned to write songs by listening to the Beatles and learned to sing by mimicking Bob Marley. Or maybe it was the other way around…” Regardless, he provides listeners with a polyglot of Spanish and English tunes that you can find him performing in venues around the New York City area. The NYC crowd has begun to call his music “rhythmic rock.”

From his bio:

[Dave Sasscer] is joined in the studio and onstage by a roving group of musicians that go by the name the “Mojo Conga Jam”. Regular members of the “MCJ”
include David Patterson on guitar (alumnus of Atlanta Singer/songwriter Shaun Mullins and the Indigo Girls), David Gomez on percussion (internationally acclaimed Latin Jazz percussionist and Hiram Bullock/Omar Hakim collaborator), and various other luminaries of the NYC music scene.

His songs have appeared on television shows, feature films and international DVD releases and have been played on the radio all around the world. He has also worked with such stars at Richie Havens and has pitched songs to internationally acclaimed artists including Norah Jones and Carlos Santana.

In the show I stated that I took the liberty to include an additional song not found on “Cuentos de la Porta Del Sol (Capitulo Uno).” “Quiet Mind” is the title track from a 2007 release and is the album featured at Dave Sasscer’s web site. I found it to be such a pleasant song that I wanted to share it and the video as well. Be sure to view the video at the bottom of this post.
