Music, Undiscovered

I am big on listening to music, specifically undiscovered artists. They are a lot easier to find now thanks to youtube and twitter. Here are just a few of the artists that I love to listen to, feel free to let me know of some others!

1. John Macpherson
He is young and from Canada. He happened to follow me on twitter and I went and looked him up on youtube. When I followed him he had less than 3,000 followers on twitter and now has a bit under 8,000. His music is incredible and he has some really great covers, but what I love about him is, is he puts more of his originals up than covers. My favorite song of his is called 'Breath Easy' and my favorite cover is a tie between Ed Sheeran's 'Lego House' and Train's 'Marry Me'. John is one of my top played on iTunes and I can never get enough of his voice! Look for his new song 'The Faster I Fall'

2. Rebel N' Rose
Michelle and Josh are Rebel N' Rose. Josh was in Every Avenue, but as they are calling it quits (http://littlemisslovelytimes.blogspot.com/2012/10/heartbreak-in-music-world.html) he started to collaborate with Michelle. They are based in Nashville where great music is born. They are just getting started and they have put out a cover of Taylor Swift's 'Everything Has Changed'. They did a great job with it and if you watch their vlog on their youtube page you can hear a snippet of something original! Their voices go together so well and I haven't heard of a duo like them in a while. I can't wait to hear more from these two!

3. Jimmie Deeghan
He was a part of Every Avenue as well and now he is working on a solo project. This isn't his first time going at it alone and it probably won't be his last. He already has a large fanbase, but it is just not enough. His song 'Crazy Stupid Love' is a great song. I don't exactly know how to classify the genre of music, but I know it has a bit of country influence. That may have to do with the fact that he is based in Nashville as well. It is good music nonetheless and I can't wait to hear the rest of his EP once it comes out!

4. Like Crazy
I stumbled upon this trio after Dennis Wilson from, take a wild guess Every Avenue, joined and shared them with the rest of the world. I am already obsessed with their music. You can download their EP Forget the World for free, yes FREE! one of my favorite ways to download music, on their bandcamp page that I will link below. I love the sound of the group and the way that Greg Pearse and Sara Ternyila sound together. Their vocals are unbelievable. Also, they will be opening up for Every Avenue on their Last Call tour!

5. Search The City
If you have already heard of them then you know that they broke up a few years back. Very happy to say that they are back together! Well, sort of anyway. There are a few new members to replace the ones who are no longer in the band, and that includes a new lead singer. Travis is young and has an amazing voice. The band kept their initial sound as their album A Fire So Big The Heavens Can See It, which remains one of my favorite albums of all time, but it also has some new sound. From the little that I have heard already it is safe to say that one should be very excited about the upcoming album they are working on. I think what attracted me to this band in the first place was that they are from Michigan like me. I was heartbroken to find out they had broken up before I got to see them because I found out about them too late and I was too young to go to any of their shows. Now that they are back, they are ready to take over my playlist again.

I can go on and on, but I think I will stop here and maybe have another post with some more. I've been working on getting this list just right so that anyone who gives these a listen will find someone they are interested in.
