Said Sara - Then There You Are
Singer-Songwriter Said Sara (aka San Francisco's David Benson), fuses influences from dark, pop, folk, to prog solo acoustic styles to craft soundscapes with animated instrumentation and riveting storytelling. In Then There You Are, the latest release, Said Sara brings a sound rooted in acoustic folk. The virtuoso guitar-playing renders acoustic melodies that soar and fall, become heavy and soft, and turn and transform as necessitated by the vocals. Joining the shape-shifting and stirring guitars is the commanding vocal performance. The mature and raw quality of the voice coupled with the emphatic and emotive delivery heightens the mood. Given the metaphysical indications and profoundness of the lyrics, it is tough not to get totally carried away by the song. Then There You Are is arresting in a soul-stirring, invigorating sense.

Jody Prewett - River Song
Jody Prewett asserts the philosophy that less is more in the soundscape of latest release, River Song. Creating an expansive and immersive feel with just keys and vocals, Jody Prewett injects a sense of vastness and depth into the listener that is liberating and haunting. The melodic waltz of the piano notes, through the low and heavy ranges to the light and tender planes is nothing short of mesmerizing. There is a poignancy as well as reflectiveness to the music that heals and breaks your heart simultaneously. Jody Prewett’s gentle, emotive voice caresses the musical landscape, at times with melancholic, vulnerable expression, and others with powerful, soaring tunes. The pristine, phantasmal vocal harmonies follow the lead vocals like shadows bringing depth and company to the vocals. The cinematic folk music experience crafted by Jody Prewett in the song is unforgettable and deeply moving. Listen to River Song by Jody Prewett here!
