Hey everyone, (cough, cough) welcome back for my Monday blog post. Sorry that it is late at night but I am fighting a major head cold/sinuses that has kept me very much inactive all day. So today's post will be brief but I just want to touch on something if you are a musician or singer like me and that is staying healthy.
Musicians and singers alike need to try to remain as healthy as possible. Especially when they have upcoming dates to perform or studio appearances. With myself I have an upcoming gig Saturday night with my college jam band West of E Street here at Simpson and this sickness is the last thing I need in getting prepared for the event.
Musicians should always practice good health and wellness options to keep their bodies intact for performances. Make sure to take the precautions necessary to remain as sick free as possible, especially around a gig. Not being up to 100% can really hurt a performance and hopefully I can recover in time, I have until Saturday.
Nevertheless in times when sickness is going around, try to stay healthy my music friends. Your fans depend on your health to be good to put on a awesome performance. Anyways check back tomorrow where I will resume my regular blogging hopefully sickness free.
Until next time keep on rocking away music lovers,
JAS

New Music (Thursday) Friday
Hey there everyone welcome to my last blog post of the week. As you may know if you regularly follow me on here I usually do New Music Thursday's but in my absent mindedness I forgot that yesterday was The Day The Music Died so I had to blog about that. Therefore today's post will be New Music Thursday on Friday.
For this round of new music I would like to take us to Texas which has bred many fine musicians and groups from Stevie Ray Vaughan to ZZ Top and countless others. Well the next guitar slinger/musician to come from Texas is a good one and he is only 19 years old! That man ladies and gentleman is Tyler Bryant.
Now Tyler Bryant is not a household name yet but I feel that he will be sooner rather than later. He was one of the featured artists in the movie Rock Prophecies that came out last year and he is a rising star in the world of blues and rock.
What makes Bryant so special. Is it the fact that he can shred on a guitar like some of the greats. Or is the fact that girls love him for his model like looks and boyish charm. Either way I think the combination of this could be deadly in today's music world because a record company can actually have a musician that has the looks that are "oh so important" and on top of it guess what, he's actually good at what he does! Wow shocker right?
Listen to some examples of Bryant's work. From his roaring cover of Jimi Hendrix's Foxy Lady to his originals such as Lipstick Wonder Woman, You Make Me, and Two Hearts Collide, there are many great songs out there by this young artist that have great appeal not on just a blues/rock level but on the mainstream as well.
I think it is only a matter of time before Tyler Bryant is a household name and the next guitar icon. If he keep on the path he is currently on it will happen. Mark my words, Tyler Bryant is the next big thing in the long line of Texas guitar slingers.
Until next time keep on rocking away music lovers,
