    Music Matters speaks with globally popular ambient/new-age music artist Kevin Keller on the release of his latest album "Evensong"

    Music Matters host Darrell Craig Harris speaks with popular ambient/new-age music artist Kevin Keller about the release of his latest album "Evensong" Darrell and Kevin also cover composing, collaboration, and more in this fun and insightful episode!    More on Kevin Keller and his latest release   Evensong is an 8-movement album that not only revives Hildegard’s sacred music but also brings her transcendental visions into the contemporary world, offering an immersive experience that blurs the lines between past and present, mysticism and music. Keller enriches her ancient compositions with layers of modern textures—combining strings, vocals, and analog synthesizers—to transform these chants into vivid soundscapes that feel simultaneously timeless and contemporary. At the heart of Evensong is an ambitious attempt to channel Hildegard’s spiritual visions, offering audiences a way to experience them in a way that wasn’t possible in her time.Kevin has been a leading figure in the new-age music scene for over 30 years, with 14 albums that fuse classical and electronic music in deeply evocative ways. This milestone release represents a significant leap in his artistic journey, and with the GRAMMY’s “New Age” category recently expanding to include ambient and chant music, Evensong is primed to make a powerful impact.   www.KevinKeller.com www.Instagram.com/kevinkellerpro https://open.spotify.com/artist/1MpofLeuema5D0edeUEoAD?si=vV7MQgcHSSaMBEG_o75CFw Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris is sponsored by Shure Microphones.

    Singer songwriter Eric Hirshberg's path is anything but typical. He's a former CEO of Activision and Deutsch LA, where he led record-breaking launches for major franchises like Call of Duty and was named one of the 50 Most Creative People in Business by AdAge. Yet throughout his remarkable career, Eric has always remained deeply connected to music. His songs have been featured in major outlets like People Magazine, American Songwriter, and Relix, and his collaboration with Aloe Blacc on "I Love Not Drinking" earned a Grammy nomination this year. 'Second Hand Smoke' his new album (released Sept 13 2024) is a deeply personal and refreshingly unique album that explores themes rarely addressed in mainstream music, like sobriety, aging, meditation, and the complexities of modern relationships. It's filled with a rich blend of introspective lyrics, an Americana-tinged sound, and a mature perspective-songs that dig deep into universal truths while resonating with life experiences. The album's success is a testament to Eric's unique voice and perspective, making it a project well worth checking out!  https://www.instagram.com/erichirshberg https://www.youtube.com/@erichirshbergmusic https://www.erichirshbergmusic.com on Spotify @erichirshbergmusic  Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris is sponsored by Shure Microphones, Kathy Ireland, ZOOM Audio.

    Multiple award winning Nashville session guitarist Rob McNelley on his new singles and more!

    Rob McNelley, the acclaimed Nashville guitarist known for his collaborations with icons like Bob Seger, Dolly Parton, and Luke Combs, has just released his latest single, “The Other Side.” This slow-burning track, built on a growling bass line and featuring McNelley’s signature guitar prowess, is the newest addition to his series of Americana-flavored singles that have been rolling out throughout the year. “The Other Side” follows the release of McNelley’s two previous singles, “Circus Is Leaving Town” and “Right Back To You,” each showcasing the versatility and depth of his songwriting and musicianship. “The Other Side is a song about learning how to see another point of view and expanding your mind to other possibilities,” McNelley shares. “It’s about leaving the possibility open that you may be wrong about things you’ve always thought, and that that is ok. It’s about evolving around a point of view and getting your ego out of the way so that you can truly see the other side of any subject matter. Plus, there’s some more focus on the guitar playing side of what I do with this one.” Links https://www.instagram.com/rmcnelley/?hl=en https://www.youtube.com/user/rmcnelley  www.instagram.com/rmcnelley  Thanks for listening in, and thanks to our sponsors, and behind the scene crew that makes this podcast happen :) Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris is sponsored by Shure Microphones, Kathy Ireland, ZOOM Audio.

    Legendary blues-rock guitarist and vocalist Joe Bonamassa has undeniably left an indelible mark on the music industry. In his recent exclusive interview with the Music Matters podcast, Joe reflects on his journey, highlighting the importance of authenticity and innovation in his illustrious career.

Embracing Challenges and Staying True to One’s Roots The blues guitarist acknowledges the difficulties of building a loyal fan base while staying true to his roots. Despite performing with a 40-piece orchestra at the Hollywood Bowl, Bonamassa admits to grappling with self-doubt throughout his career. He advises young musicians to pursue their passion, resist conformity, and embrace their authenticity, as setting trends and being unique are key elements of success in a saturated market.

By providing financial support to music education programs and musicians in need, the foundation has raised over $1,000,000 during the pandemic through streamathons and personal contributions.

    JacQ Becker/Mama B with a new children’s album, and great advice for new artists! ~ EP10 - S07

    JacQ Becker/Mama B with a new children’s album, and great advice for new artists! ~ EP10 - S07 In this engaging podcast episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Mama B, also known as JacQ Becker, a talented children’s music creator, writer, and producer. Mama B recently released her first solo album, ”Imagineology,” a delightful blend of pop, jazz, and hip hop designed to appeal to both children and parents. Mama B’s Background in Music and Transition to Children’s Music Mama B’s love for music began at a young age, influenced by legends like Frank Sinatra and Aretha Franklin. She pursued her passion by working in various roles within the music industry, including marketing, film and TV licensing, and publishing. Her transition to children’s music was a natural progression, inspired by her experiences as a parent. She aimed to create music that both children and parents could enjoy, especially since parents often play these songs on repeat. The Making of ”Imagineology” ”Imagineology” is the result of Mama B’s collaboration with talented producers and musicians who were new to the children’s music space but excited about the project. The album’s first single, ”Unicorn,” was an experiment in blending child-friendly themes with production styles typically intended for adult audiences. JacQ’s Advice for Aspiring Artists JacQ emphasizes the importance of authenticity and songwriting skills for aspiring artists. She encourages creators to focus on their strengths and not to get overwhelmed by the need to be perfect or to excel in areas outside their core talent. She also advises artists to release their work into the world and not to be overly self-critical. In her experience, many great songs never get released because artists are too self-critical. Conclusion This podcast offers a fascinating glimpse into Mama B’s journey in the music industry and her passion for creating children’s music. Her advice for aspiring artists is both practical and inspiring, making this a must-listen for anyone interested in music and creativity. Apple Musicmusic.apple.com/us/artist/mama-b/1581199873

    On this episode of Music Matters I chat with Rockie Lynne about his musical journey of Resilience and giving back...EP09-S07

    As a seasoned music bass guitar player with almost 40 years of experience and the host of the Music Matters Podcast, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Rockie Lynne, a talented musician who has overcome adversity to find success in the music industry. In this podcast episode, we’ll delve into Lynne’s inspiring journey, his new Amazon documentary and latest album, as well as his charitable work supporting the families of fallen service members. Early Life and Music Career Lynne’s passion for music began at a young age. After being found in a garbage dumpster and growing up in an orphanage, he was inspired to become a musician when a man played guitar for him at the age of four. Lynne started playing in bands in high school, and later joined the army to attend the Musicians Institute in California. Despite feeling overwhelmed by the talent in the barracks, Lynne persevered and eventually moved to Minnesota, where he started over and sold 150,000 CDs from his car trunk before getting a record deal. He played 321 nights in a big eight by 20 trailer, becoming a draw before meeting with industry executives. Songwriting, Love, and Forgiveness Lynne’s approach to songwriting is unique, comparing it to plumbing or throwing darts. His new album features his classic, full-rich voice and great songs. One of the standout tracks is ”Heavy Load,” which was inspired by a mass shooting in Charleston, South Carolina. The song grapples with the concept of love in the face of unimaginable evil. Finding His Biological Father and the Importance of Male Role Models Lynne discovered his biological father through a DNA test and was able to meet him before his death. This experience had a profound impact on Lynne’s sense of belonging and purpose. He also emphasizes the importance of male role models in childhood, citing personal experiences and the impact it had on his life. Charity Work for Troops Lynne founded Tribute to the Troops, an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that helps families of fallen service members. The organization has raised over $1 million and sent 123 children to college whose parents died in service. Lynne’s commitment to supporting troops and their families is unwavering, and he encourages others to get involved and donate to this important cause. New Amazon Documentary and Album Lynne’s new Amazon documentary and album offer a glimpse into his life and music career. The documentary, which is available on Amazon Prime and PBS stations nationwide, showcases Lynne’s journey as a singer-songwriter and the importance of showcasing artists’ work. His latest album features his signature voice and songwriting style, with themes of love, forgiveness, and moving on from tragedy. Conclusion Rockie Lynne’s story is one of resilience, perseverance, and giving back. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout his life, he has remained committed to his passion for music and his desire to help others. His new Amazon documentary and album offer a chance to learn more about this inspiring artist and his incredible journey.
