Curtain Call

Aiden Grimshaw's Curtain Call is like a sick mix of Oasis and just wonderous nostalgia of the 90s. It's hard not to like this song since it appeals to so many genres. The jazzy drawl display's Aiden's love for Eva Cassidy.

This song has only 1k views, which makes no sense, show some love.

This song feels like sleeping in a beach-side hammock, sipping hot chocolate in a mountain top cabin, lying in a wildflower field, this song feels like life, breathing in clean air, and it feels like love.

Song Series: Just Drive

Unplugged is a word used to describe songs like this, however I have yet to listen to a song that is more plugged in than this song, seamless, and effortlessly connected, every verse in Richard Walter's song is a poem on it's on, so potent with emotion and refreshingly energizing, this song could be an anthem or a soft spoken lullaby.

subtle yet intricate, this live version is golden. This music chokes me up, it pulls heart strings and churns stomachs.

Song Series:Just Drive Intro

There is some music that belongs in a car's radio, listened to quietly, accompanied by a low humming, a good friend and a cold drink.

This song series is for the people who love: Mumford and Sons, Augustana, Radiohead, Thriving Ivory, Ron Pope, Patrick Watson and for anyone who can dig a little acoustic melodies.

Spencer Zettersten

An artist that has managed to capture our attention is Northern Virginia native Spencer Zettersten, his opulent vocals is makes heads turn, and after listening to this talented new artist for the last couple of months it only made sense to do a solo feature.
Spencer's voice swells with emotion, truth and a story. His music leaves a lasting impact and keeps you humming along. Spencer started making music in the mere corners of his basement, setting up a small recording station he started filming youtube videos and began to make his way up (no pun intended) to pubs and bars in the area, he is quickly making an impact with his moving voice and touching lyrics.
It's hard to believe that such complexity and intricate lyrics and melodies could come from this young artist but Spencer manages to reel listeners in with his tousled blond hair and contagious smile, face value aside Spencer captures his audience and makes it hard not to stick around and listen. Spencer recently performed at Jammin Java a popular music bar for upcoming musicians, the bar has hosts hordes of talented artists that have made it big in the recent years, and is the local hotspot for new musicians.

Focused during his performances yet completely effortless it seems inevitable that Spencer will make it big with his acoustic creations. Guitar driven with a very memorable, raw, and unique sound Spencer Zettersten is an artist to keep an eye on, he is creating a lasting following that will be sure to grow.
