Posted by: Paul Little • January 27, 2014 @ 5:10am
In this new era of music, when iTunes downloads and YouTube views are just as important as (or, one could argue, more important than) album sales and radio plays, it's quite the feat for any musician to have their videos played nearly 30 million times on YouTube.

There are lots of bands and musicians out there who are really impressive recording artists, but maybe not the most exciting (or even very good) in a live setting. For some, it's just a case of utilizing a lot of great production that can't translate, while others are clearly aided in the studio and just can't cut it in on stage.

Posted by: Paul Little • February 18, 2011 @ 1:21am
In the relatively short time he's been a full-time musician, singer/songwriter James Struthers has been compared to several established and popular artists. And while the comparisons may be fairly accurate, saying Struthers sounds like Jason Mraz or John Mayer doesn't fairly represent how fresh and original he and his music really is.

MM: What made you decide to start the festival?
JF: I started the festival because I manage a band called The Light Machines and I I was booking them into a lot of local smaller venues, and I really noticed a need for bands to play collectively to a larger audience without being a part of a talent contest, like the Peak FM contest that they run.
