HiddenTrack #226 PRESENCE ( Johnathon Martinez)

HiddenTracks ·

2024/11/21

The decade-long journey of Southern California recording artist Presence (a.k.a.Jonathon Martinez) began as a therapeutic exercise to help an anxious, insular 12-year-old discover their true sense of self. Martinez’s aspirations for both confession and catharsis evoke his roots as a rap fan in Camarillo, California.Starting at the age of 14, Martinez snuck his first “Presence Raps” video onto the internet, freestyling over “Ten Toes” by BubbaGotBeatz which got him grounded when his parentsfou...

2024/11/07

From oblivion to chaos; ride the change. For DIVIDED HEAVEN singer-songwriter Jeff Berman, much has changed since the release of 2022's Oblivion: a relocation from Hollywood, California to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, two new children, a new career in the music industry that isn't touring 6 months out of the year, dare-we-say... normalcy. When the road-warrior Jeff Berman parked the tour van in favor of established residence, the change brought a fresh perspective to Berman, his songwriting and h...

HiddenTrack #223 NIGHT WINDOWS (Ben Hughes)

HiddenTracks ·

2024/10/31

Ben Hughes wrote and recorded a solo record back in 2013 and didn't want to release it under his own name. So, he called the project NIGHT WINDOWS to pay homage to one of his all-time favorite bands, The Weakerthans. This did two very important things: (1) allowed him the freedom to be a band or a solo artist, or both at the same time (2) gave him a unique name to release music under - there are a surprising amount of people with the same name, and it feels like half of them are active musici...

2024/10/10

New Jersey has a solid reputation for raising successful singer-songwriters, with Sam Krajkowski aka Sammy Kay as another proof. Ten years after his debut album Fourth Street Singers and five years after his most recent full-length civil/WAR, he goes back to basics with a new LP called July 1960. It concerns ten stripped down punk-folk songs with imaginative storytelling about the finer details of life (as the musician explains: “This is me navigating being in my mid-thirties, chasing some ki...

Hailing from New Jersey, meyerman delivers hard charging pop with power.

2024/09/19

Music has been a part of Alexandra's life ever since she started playing violin as a four-year-old in Toronto. As a teenager she was already an old soul; falling for the power of greats like Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald. You can sense these influences in the heart wrenching arc of her voice as it haunts the spaces between analog soundscapes. In live performances her brother joins her onstage playing the french horn.

2024/08/29

You can keep your dreams under wraps or unleash them into the world. For the musicians who comprise Dream Phases, holding back their musical visions has not been an option. Conceived in the private recesses of their L.A. home base, the band has expanded outwards by drawing upon the rich sonic heritage of West Coast pop/rock and skillfully reimagining it for the 21st Century.
