The concept of the trio has always been intriguing to me. A trio seems so straight forward and basic....guitar, bass, drums...and vocals...should work every time. But it doesn't. Creating a dynamic and solid sounding song with a trio is hard to pull off...doing it really, really well is even harder to do. The London Souls, who in fact are from Brooklyn, NY and not London, are one of the best trios that I have heard in some time. With a cool retro '70's rock sound that dabbles with soul and funk, The London Souls just kill it on their debut, self titled album. Someday
What I love about music is its power to transport me. Sometimes it’s unexpected, sometimes it’s exactly where I want to be. A single melody can unlock memories I didn’t realize I still carried, while certain chords or lyrics take me to another time or place. Some songs feel like home, offering shelter, while others deliver me to an unknown place or space, stirring emotions I can’t quite name. In this way, music isn’t just sound—it’s a sonic subway, delivering me to a station of refuge or one I never knew existed.
Music has always been an important part of my life. My family and friends knew this well, often asking me what I was listening to and what I liked. It was always humbling to be asked, and eventually, I gathered the courage to create this music blog—to put into words what draws me to certain music and why.
Over the years, my passion for writing has grown, along with my excitement for sharing musical discoveries. I hope your time here sparks excitement and leads you to a musical discovery of your own. More than anything, I hope your visit brings a little joy to your day.
