When it comes to music that really gets you thinking, Mattheu Canvas takes the cake. His Jack Johnson/ Ben Harper influence surely appears in his songs, but neither of them can touch his spoken word messages. Canvas is one of my favorite artists that I have had the pleasure of actually speaking with face-to-face. He is a very intelligent and talented young man, and I encourage you to sit back and enjoy his album over and over again. I have, and I will never stop.
What can I say about BDT....they are fantastic! Not only great artists, but beautiful souls. I was so excited to be able to write about a Blues group. Most of my interviews have been with Rock, Hip Hop, and Pop music.....but BLUES....it's pretty much the foundation for all of those genres. I really enjoyed working with them for this interview, and they were extremely grateful. I can't wait to hear more from them as they progress....Please, read the interview and check out the music!
Mass Undergoe....Canada's greatest achievement next to Hockey. This group was so cool to work with. Their videos had me cracking up at 4 in the morning at times when I had to stay up and research for my articles. Oh yes, and the music....RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME. As I was working on the interview, I noticed that their fan base could reach from my toddler, to my grandmother.....two very different people....two very different worlds..... They both had the same song as their favorite. Not to say that their music wouldn't be enjoyable to the crowds in between...They are kind of like the Spongebob of Alternative Rock. Loved by all ages...
