  1. Playlist Feb. 4 Weekend

    February 4, 2012 by DGrantSmith

    I love having the opportunity to introduce new artists to new audiences, and that’s one thing The Appetizer has been doing every week for the past 8 plus years, with no repeated programming. That means it’s a new show, a new menu, a fresh collection of music each week. This weekend I’m serving up some brand new musical flavors this hour from artists you know and a few you might not. Some of it is yet to be released and you get a sample tasting before most everyone else does. This includes new music from Sinead O’Conner in just a bit. Also a tribute album to the great Bob Dylan that was recently released as a 4 disc set, we have a cut from that. And a few tracks from Golden Fork nominated artists like William Fitzsimmons and Madi Diaz that you can acquire for free. More information at the NoiseTrade page.

    We hope you’re connecting with the artists that we introduce to you. Please look them up on their websites, Twitter, and/or FB and let them know you heard them here.

  2. Playlist for Jan 28th Weekend

    January 28, 2012 by DGrantSmith

    01-28-12 “Delicious Dish-Covery”

    Welcome back to my table. I’m chef/host DGS
    Every week new music from artists all over the spectrum gets released. Sometimes it’s a highly anticipated album from someone who has been in the studio a while and hasn’t released new material in some time. Other times, it’s a group just putting a few songs on an EP to get their name and sound out there. I’ve discovered that as great as technology is with being able to access material anywhere anytime, great sounds can get missed. This is music that I’ve discovered over the past few weeks and want to share it with you. A lot of that is introducing to you new and emerging artists, sometimes those who are fairly unknown in the music world. I hope if the music strikes your fancy that you’ll check them out online, Like them on FB, and tell them that you heard their music on The Appetizer.

    *One exception to the new music featured was our first song, which I thought should have been included in the recently compiled Best Of album from R.E.M.

  3. Artist Spotlight: Noah Gundersen & Bradley Hathaway

    January 26, 2012 by Meagan Freeman

    Today I thought I’d share two talented artists: Noah Gundersen and Bradley Hathaway. Both of these artists are unique because they embrace the concepts of spirituality and Christianity. I know, what you’re thinking, hundreds of artists try to do this, but these two songwriters take the challenging questions facing religion, spirituality and God and turn it into thought-provoking music. Let me introduce you.

     

    Noah Gundersen: Once part of the indie band, Courage, Noah has branched out and made his own way in indie music. The first song of Noah’s I heard was “Jesus, Jesus”. This song was amazing and I immediately knew how great of a musician he really was. The lyrics raise questions that many people are thinking, but never speak. Take this verse for instance:

    Jesus, Jesus, could you tell me what the problem is
    With the world and all the people in it?
    Because I’ve been hearing stories about the end of the world
    But I’m in love with a girl and I don’t wanna leave her
    And the television screams such hideous things

    They’re talking about the war on the radio
    They say the whole things gonna blow
    And we will all be left alone
    No we’ll be dead and we won’t know what hit us.

    In the crazy times we live in, I can relate to these lyrics. How many times have you turned on the news and began to question what will come of mankind. I wonder every day where the world is headed. Noah’s music and lyrics stirs up conversation and gets people talking about these spiritual questions that usually remain something to ponder privately.

    More information and more great songs by Noah can be found on his bandcamp page. Also, you can connect with Noah on Facebook.

    Next up, it’s Bradley Hathaway. Bradley started as a spoken poet and advanced into writing songs. The first song I heard of Bradley’s was “The World is Screaming”, which you can hear on this week’s episode of The Appetizer. His songs are just as deep as Noah’s. Take this verse for instance:

    A Fallen star Shoots across the sky

    And A Woman With no family Wishing to die

    A mother, Buries her new born son

    And a father in his office holding a gun

    A little girl touched in places she should never be.

    A little boy left to live alone in the streets.

    A wife who doesn’t know how to be faithful.

    And a husband that cant, seem to keep his cool.

    And The world Is Screaming

    The lyrics are so moving. Bradley does not shy around the problems of society. He attacks them head on. Some say music can bring change, whether it be to an individual or entire race. I believe that his music could spur great change if everyone would take a listen. Find out more about Bradley on his Facebook.

    Tune into this week’s episode of The Appetizer to hear these two great musicians.
