it's friday the 13th. let's get spooked up.

to counteract the asshole monday, there is amaze-balls friday. who doesn't love friday? even if it is friday the 13th. dun dun duuuuuuuunnnn.
so, i thought we could talk about some music that is awesome in anticipation of a great weekend ahead.
you could even find your favorite new song to get spooked up to.


music
i'm not going to say that i single-handedly made rock stars out of certain bands. but, it wasn't very long after i discovered said bands that they blew up like a newborn's diaper all over G105.
i am forever on my quest for untainted music. for musicians that haven't yet been rocketed into fame, and are still making music (lots of music...not just one or two singles to be released when the record label says so). they're in it for the fans.
here's a few that i absolutely adore. and i think you will too. (their names are links to their websites)
dustin kensrue. he sings the song we danced our "first dance" to at our wedding. this guy will get you out of your chair and dancing. he has a great way of singing a love song without making you want to kill yourself.

james morrison

james morrison. an English dude with so much soul. i am absolutely in love with his music. i couldn't even begin to say enough about it. i will say this, it's weird how they don't sound English when they sing, right?

dave barnes. he has a beautiful, clean voice. you'll know the words in no time and finding yourself singing them. loudly, if you're anything like me.

with Ron Pope after his latest show 

ron pope. he's fantastic! dustin and i have seen him several times. usually with no more than twenty other fans in some random bar. we danced to one of his songs as our "last dance" at our wedding. when we saw him about a month ago, he played it privately just for us after the show. that's rockstar.
the low hand. a trio of kick ass guys and their instruments. it's raw, natural and awesome.

zack berkman

brett dennen. he's a nerd. with red hair and glasses. he's also a fantastic songwriter. he goes best with a bottle of wine.
mason jennings. i've got to see him several times over the past few years. and he just keeps getting better and better. he has lovely melodies, and a sense of humor. that's nice.
zach berkman. oh, man. this little guy really packs a punch. he's got such a powerful voice, and when you see him you wouldn't expect that he could produce it. he's absolutely wonderful. and so good in concert.

check out this spotify playlist if you don't feel like looking up all these peeps. guys with guitars

i could go on for days and days. but, i'll save some for another time. if you have any suggestions on bands i should be listening to, fill me in. i love new music.
happy friday the 13th!

love & rockets,
sarah
