Singer-songwriter Brett Altman unveils his newest single “Alone on a Saturday Night,” for the delight of our ears.

Brett, a self-described late bloomer, didn’t sing publicly until the age of 20. Just 21 months later, he performed in front of a crowd of 17,000 at Penn State University for a talent competition, which he won.

He has since won Indie Nation’s Viral Music Competition, and released his first single, “Come Find Me”, through Sony Music’s The Orchard. His last single, “Full of You”, is described by Atwood Magazine as “easily among the most dynamic of Altman’s work, with its quick pulse and energetic, harmony-laden choruses maintaining a lively atmosphere from start to finish”.

Since moving to Hoboken, New Jersey in 2015, Altman has established himself in the Tri-State area music scene through gigs at Rockwood Music Hall, The Bitter End NYC, PIANOS, The Bowery Electric, and other local venues. His upbeat music is a fusion of pop and folk, with songwriting that illuminates moments of everyday life. His biggest musical influences are John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Ed Sheeran, and Dave Matthews Band.

This year Brett Altman is set to release a series of singles leading up to his first EP, Low Overhead, that will surely be a stunner as well. As he gears up for more greatness in 2020, it’s safe to say that “Alone on a Saturday Night” will be one of your favorite new tunes. Listen in via Spotify, below.

Abby K is an amazing singer-songwriter from Seattle, WA. Her latest release “It’s Okay (Not to be Okay)” came out on June 12, 2020 and was influenced by her musical heroes, Fran Healy of Travis and Michael Stipe of R.E.M. Read on to learn more about the visual representation Abby chose for this new track – we know you’re going to love this empowering anthem!

Tell us the story of this song, why did you choose to visualize this song specifically in this way?

Written just before brewing chaos changed life as we know it, “It’s Okay (not to be Okay)” was born in Cambria, CA while on my January West Coast Tour of my latest album.  The song reflects current authentic human feelings of anguish and fear I observed in the world driving along the W. Coast. It’s okay not to be okay. It’s okay to have hard times and bad feelings. And not only is it okay to talk about them, it’s necessary and time. This song is my way of expressing that along with my virtual, giant, ambient hug.

What was the inspiration behind this video (visuals, storyline, etc.)?

Authenticity. I wanted nothing less than real; one-hundred percent. No professional footage or stock photos. Humans sharing their emotions in real time during the most unprecedented times ever existing in our lives. A patchwork documentary.

What was the process of making this video?

Robin Chow, the video project editor, asked me to reach out to my network requesting small video clips showing themselves in their lives today; quarantine. All I gave them for inspiration was the title of the song. I received over 80 clips from friends, family and fans from all over the world! It was one of the more heartwarming moments of my 2020 to date. Connecting on personal levels with so many while experiencing the exact same thing worldwide. Robin’s editing is brilliant. The perfect visual package to the songs’ sentiment. I hope the song reaches the world in any, even small, significant way.

Are you ready to hear some magic for your ears? Look no further than Holy Roller Baby; an Austin, Texas band that is making a splash in a big way. From the start, the group have been enticing crowds with 70s laced hooks, big guitar sounds and intricate and eclectic vocals that sets the band apart from the rest. Their new single to hit the streets comes in the form of “Leper Blues,” which brings the band’s primitive swagger to your headphones.

With music as spirited as their name suggests, the band blends the best of 70s string-bending guitar rock with an undeniably forward-thinking perspective. Raucous and gritty with a focus on songwriting, melody, and substantive lyrics, the band plays glorious rock at concussive volumes while swinging to an unmistakable beat, filtering a thunderous bluster through a soul crooner’s sensibility.

Founded in 2017 in Austin, Texas, the band’s lineup previously played in the psych/rock band Heavy Glow, playing over 300 shows in the US and Canada. Spearheaded by the songwriting of Jared Mullins and using two lead guitarists, the four-piece was invited to record their debut album at Radiohead’s Courtyard Studios in Oxfordshire, England. Together with producer Ian Davenport (Band of Skulls, Supergrass, Philip Selway of Radiohead) the band recorded a blistering 50-minute, 12-track album that combs through a diverse array of blues-tinged rock, even borrowing amps and percussion from Radiohead and guitars from Gaz Coombes (ex-Supergrass) to do so.
