Alex and Sam


These two are the artists from LA who do today's song of the day. I like them because they're mad chill and play hands-on acoustic, brass, you name it instruments. Sometimes I get this Beatles-ish sound but then I get something else. I really like Sam's jazzy heartfelt voice...It kinds reminds me of Norah Jones and Emily King with a richer and jazzier sound. They have a jazz/pop/folk feel to them. And I think their voices blend nicely..like to the point of hypnotization into a chill state.
Alex and Sam met in high school and made a musical match. All of the songs are written, produced, arranged, and recorded by Alex. So there's definite talent there in my opinion.
So you should check them out on their website. They even have free downloads of 3 of their songs.
I really like this song/performance so enjoy.

Song of the Day:"Red Light"


I had this inspiration at the airport for my song of the day and it led to anything by Jonny Lang. I picked this song because it's great to sing to and it has some great guitar. But you should really check him out because he's pretty much eargasmic and amazing live. If you ever see that he has a show near you...go! He was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. You can tell that music consumes his soul and it just inspires you to go take music lessons in any instrument. Ohh I guess I should add that he is in the blues, jazz, alternative genres, but for all you hip-hop lovers just check him out because his music touches your heart with all the great harmonies, guitar riffs, and  heartful singing. 
You may recognize him because he was in one of the blues brothers movies way back in the 90s. I think it was the scene in the phone operating room or something like that and he was being moved across the floor while ripping it on his guitar.
