| | Alex Sweeton Perfectly Broken CD Alex Sweeton Discography of CDs
It is oddly satisfying, gleefully tapping your foot while listening to Alex Sweeton's latest album, Perfectly Broken. Oddly satisfying because, chances are, the song you are tapping along to is not at all happy, but, rather, some story you've lived, won't readily admit and really, really hope no one ever finds out about. By balancing catchy melodies with dark instrumentation, Sweeton and producer Sammy Merendino (of Cyndi Lauper's band) successfully negotiate the murky, oxymoronic waters of combining very dark lyrics with music that still fit easily into the category of pop. "It was important to us that we honor the lyrics I'd written while setting out to make the pop album we wanted to make. I love pop music and I also love songs that rip your heart out. Why separate them?' Sweeton says. 'It's the paradox of life: you're up, you're down, you're up and down at the same time. That's reality. ' Reminiscent of Shawn Colvin, Liz Phair and the Pierces, Sweeton is at once vulnerable yet ballsy. She makes no apologies for living a less than perfect life. In fact, by the end of the album, you'll be convinced that 'less than perfect' is the only way to go. As the song, Don't Know muses, "I am open... I am different... I am perfectly broken and that's the way I want to be." Dark, messy, delicate, brash and bold. Perfectly Broken is the way we'd all be if we could. Sweeton makes it feel every bit possible.

Perfectly Broken album
 $10.09   
After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to sing on CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART, a cheerfully old-fashioned holiday ...

| | Terry Christopher Journey Of A Wordsmith CD (2006)
Perfectly Broken album
$11.39
New York-based singer/songwriter Terry Christopher is more than just a natural born entertainer. Terry is undeniably a natural born talent.When Terry was a kid and in the early stages of exploring the breadth of his artistic expressions, he presented his family with a few poems he'd written and they were certain that he had not written them himself. They argued there was no way someone so young could create something so deep without having used it from someone else's work. Yet it was Terry's grandfather (a huge Elvis Presley fan) who knew better, believed in Terry's gift and saw his truth. But then again, the truth was always there. Though Terry was constantly putting on impromptu shows before his family and friends, it wasn't until he danced in and won Reserved Champions at the Nevada State Youth Fair Talent Competition (with his childhood friend, Beth) that the entertainment bug firmly took root in his blood. That was when Terry knew this was not a random hobby or phase, but rather a hunger, a passion, a journey. That was the moment he knew that being a performer was an all-consuming need, a compulsion that reached down into the very depths of his soul. It was a life's calling that would lead him on a purposeful course, first charted while growing up in Las Vegas amidst the bright lights and headlining stars, eventually leading him around the globe eight times over on the way towards developing into a pop recording artist of renown upon the release of his accomplished 2002 award-winning full-length debut, Take Another Look, and its highly anticipated follow-up, Journey of a Wordsmith in 2006. Years of being in the spotlight as a top-notch singer-dancer during high school and receiving local and state-wide recognition for concert choral and madrigal singing had given Terry a solid foundation and training in his vocal abilities. After earning a BFA in dance from the Dance Conservatory at SUNY Purchase College, Terry Christopher lived the life of the consummate, non-stop, in demand working performer: Touring in Broadway shows and Vegas style revues throughout the Middle East, Europe, Mexico, Canada, South America and the United States; performing original work by illustrious, legendary choreographers such as Michael Bennett, Jerry Jackson, Patti Colombo, Barry Lather and the late Michael Peters, to name a ...

Uku The Mighty - Small Instruments, Big SoundUku the mighty is a ukulele based AcoustiPop trio from the western Washington with a fresh groove. The world has plenty of guitar based bands. It's time for a new sound to emerge on as a proverbial blip on the collective radar screens of America.Blending the sounds that they've picked up from the popular to the obscure and mixing in the sounds that only they can hear in their heads, Uku The Mighty has a harmonic alchemy and rhythmic gumbo that has power and intrigue. Who is Uku?John Moen has been playing with himself, ukulele that is, for some time and has been delighted to rejoin his lifelong friends Greg, Bret and Andy in Uku The Mighty. John is a renaissance man (meaning that he was born between 1400 and 1600 CE. ) He plays ukulele, guitar, bass, cello, didjeridoo and whatever strikes his fancy (and his fancy has been stricken many times!) John has circumnavigated the world of music many times over. Launching his career by leading campfire sing-a-longs, not to mention ultimately leading the camp itself, he went on to head such pivotal groups as Beau Vine & The Battle Cattle, Phallus Dill, The Bronto Burgerz and Steve Jimmy, virtually pre-defining the Post-Groove Quasi-Retro ...
