It’s been good

I’m dropping a new song called ‘It’s Been Good’—a reflection on life, the roads not taken, and realizing that even if things didn’t go as planned, it’s still been a beautiful journey so far. Sometimes the unexpected turns make the best stories. Hope it resonates with you. Have a listen!

Songwriters Guild Live - Ken Stead

Songwriters Guild Live is a weekly radioshow in Amsterdam, focussed on artists who write their own songs. This week your host was Ro Halfhide. We're mentioned as one of the leading podcasts on songwriting! blog.feedspot.com/songwriting_podcasts/ Ken Stead is a singer & songwriter from Edmonton, Canada. He used to be only into Hiphop, until his mother took him for punishment to a Folk Festival. There he got inspired by the artist Erik Bipp, and Ken took another road from there. Now after a couple of years of being a growing success in Canada he hopes to connect to the Europeans just as much. Last May he finished his new album 'Civil War'. " Ken is known for silencing a room to a whisper, but with his new release, Civil War, he proves capable of starting an uproar. With more volume, comes more space to make heartfelt moments rattle through your chest." Whether Ken plays alone or with his full band, Ken Stead makes every room feel like home. With his generous, good humour and and empathy with the audience, his accomplishments are as true and honest as his songs.

Songwriters Guild Live - Rachman

Songwriters Guild Live is a weekly radioshow in Amsterdam, focussed on artists who write their own songs. This week your host was Ro Halfhide. We're mentioned as one of the leading podcasts on songwriting! blog.feedspot.com/songwriting_podcasts/ At first, when you listen to Rachman’s music you’ll hear traces of folk, blues and soul. But when you listen more closely more aspects of the music reveal itself. The clear melodies, the intricate fingerpicking and the lyrics that build scenes in which you can wander endlessly. Rachman’s craft is all about the song, taking cues from heroes like: Stevie wonder, Bill Withers, The Fleet foxes and John Mayer. Small songs with big intent, songs that celebrate life.
