    Sevi Ettinger – Salty Water (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

    Sevi Ettinger – Salty Water Sevi Ettinger – Salty Water (Sevillana Records) Political unrest and protest have been a fertile inspiration for music for generations now. However, you don’t necessarily to hear that kind of music from a 15-year-old girl. Sevi Ettinger is an American-born singer who is currently living in Shanghai. She was struck by stories and films she saw about Syrian refugees – how adults and particularly children could be set adrift, trying desperately to esc

    Brantley Gilbert Brantley Gilbert Lets It Ride Down the Highway by Danielle Speiss For a guy that’s dubbed himself a “rebel,” a sour patch kid, and who thinks it might be cool to live like Bonnie and Clyde, Brantley Gilbert comes off pretty responsible and a bit serious. When chatting, he gives thoughtful, honest answers, although you can tell he does like to have fun. He speaks from his gut and it’s obvious he is passionate about his business. He is a true musician and a gre

Memphis Beat is a moody and slightly downbeat, yet rather funny in its own way, police procedural about the southern musical mecca. Lee plays Dwight, a sma

    Little Big Town – The Band Has Landed

    Little Big Town Little Big Town The Band Has Landed By Mark Mussari It’s an impossible task trying to define Little Big Town. There’s no one like them in country music – or in any genre of music for that matter. And their singularity goes far beyond their unique configuration of two men and two women. Flying high on the heels of their platinum-selling CD The Road to Here (Equity Music, 2006), which spawned such mega-hits as “Boondocks” and “Bring It on Home,” the band has rec

Ed Quinn has worn a lot of hats over the years. In a career (and life) that has been fascinating for its refusal to play by the supposed rules, Quinn has put together an intriguing body of work without forgetting what is really important in

Through the millions of people who curiously walk by him, marvel at him, laugh at him, laugh with him, narrow their eyebrows at him, pose with him (he claims to hold about twenty babies a day) and/or call him a fag, he finds his personal inner peace.

The country-rock quartet – whose album The Road to Here has already sold over 500,000 copies and spawned a mega-hit in the stomping Southern anthem “Boondocks” – consists of two women and two men. That would be singular enough in the country field, but all four members of this powerhouse group, who also write much of their own mu

An adopted daughter of a scientist who had no real interest to speak of in music? An iconoclast who became a figurehead of a local music scene where lack of commercial success was considered a badge of honor? A busking guitarist who played guitar on streets all over Europe and once got a quid from a member of then British supergroup Take That? Wel

    Joss Stone JOSS STONE SOUL SISTER by  Jay S. Jacobs You can’t help but notice the voice.  It is strong, sensuous, assured.  It soars to a crescendo or sighs to a whisper.  It flat-out belts a soulful, joyful noise that reaches for the heavens and tries to box with God.  Yet it doesn’t fall victim to the showiness of the Mariah Carey / Christina Aguilera wannabes.  This woman ain’t gonna use ten notes when one is good enough, even if she has the ability to do so.  The voice is

    Their Name Is… NO ONE

    No One Their Name Is… NO ONE by Bill Henhoeffer Many bands look for a distinctive name to give them an identity. This new metal band’s name fights that notion, it has a sense of anonymity, a sense of everyman. NO ONE took their name to illustrate the way they all felt. All the members coming from bands that had recently broken up. Having to start over completely, they were feeling pretty low and down on themselves. The band’s credo is that eyes and voice are two distinctive w
