TYLER HERRING: SINGER/SONGWRITER

Tyler Herring Singer Songwriter and Multi-instrumentalist released his debut album “EMBER” November 5, 2013. 

Herring has created a unique sound unlike any other. He blends blues and root music with organic tones using the didgeridoo, drums and acoustic guitar, similar to Australian Xavier Rudd, who he says he was inspired by. The difference is the blend.  Herring’s singing voice is richer and when incorporated with his jazz and blues influences the result is an inimitable sound that is pleasing and uplifting and unique to Herring.

Herring is a one man band, who can captivate an audience with his musicality and hold them by wanting more of his artful creations. Be sure to listen to the links below and enjoy his music on iTunes.

MIKAL CRONIN: SINGER/SONGWRITER

The 1970’s are back with Mikal Cronin’s 2^nd studio album “MCII” The 27 year from Laguna Beach, CA, proves his melodic vocals, and scuzz-toned guitar can make beautiful music.

Cronin,  previously associated with Ty Segall, Moonhearts, Epsilions and Okie Dokie is bringing us back around with his creativity moving on from post-grunge to the rock, alternative, and indie rock with ‘Beatle’isk undertones and thought provoking lyrics. The music is likable and easy to listen to, with variety, and change of pace.

NPR’s  ‘FIRST LISTEN’  by Stephan Thompson,

Mikal Cronin's second album, MCII, mixes shambling rock with a perfectionist ear with quality control, as its star (who plays most of the instruments himself) applies a beachy sparkle to 37 minutes of fresh, fun rock 'n' roll.

Thematically, MCII focuses on one guy's efforts to process sweeping changes in his life — getting older, moving to a new town, falling into a new relationship — so it makes sense that it feels like the work of a young artist who's both newly grown-up and still growing. But the sneaky sophistication of its pop-rock sound is what really makes the record enduring: Inward-looking but notably less angst-ridden than its predecessor, MCII feels positively stuffed with briskly alluring, summer-ready, California-sunny earworms.
