Well, you knew it was coming!! I am dedicating Tuesdayz Tune to one of my favorite Christmas songs!! Otis Redding is a legend in my books, absolutely love him! Enjoy :)
Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you have a wonderful holiday! Speak to you in the New Year!!
Feeling a little old school love today. This is one of my favorite Aretha Franklin songs, although for the record... I believe it was originally sung by Sam Cooke. This song makes me extremely happy, it's most likely going to be my wedding song (fun fact). Enjoy!!
December 5th 2014, was a very special night. The Franklin Electric played a sold out show at the Corona Theater in Montreal. The night was magical and heartfelt, you could feel the passion in the air. As Jon Matte spoke to his audience, he mentioned that we, as a province, are often closed off from world, but that's what makes us so special". I've been to quite a few live shows in Montreal, and I have to agree that our crowds are something else, we have this energy that is indescribable. I wonder if it's because Montreal is made up of so many different cultures, by letting music bring us all together, it brings out the best in all of us. One thing is for sure, this local band is definitely loved by their city. Seeing The Franklin Electric start from the bottom, and work their way up in such a short amount of time is absolutely amazing, I could not be more proud of the hard work they've put into their career thus far. The lyrics are beautifully written, real and raw emotions poor out of each song. I think what I love most, is how true Jon Matte has stayed to himself throughout his entire musical journey. The trumpet will always be an instrument that reminds me of him, and to see him incorporate it into so many of his songs, truly makes me smile.
I absolutely love every song on their debut album "This is How I Let You Down", and so deciding on 1 song to share with you today, was nearly impossible. SO, having said that, I'll be sharing two of my favorites. "Uninvited (Storm)", and "Show Me The Quiet Air". Love, love love.
Here's a few pics from the December 5th show at the Corona Theater in Montreal.
DECEMBER 2ND!? Where did 2014 go?? I can't believe we're already in December! I'm not going to lie though, my inner child is beaming right now. I absolutely adore the holidays; Christmas lights, party dresses, family & friends, it's a great time of year! I have lots to look forward to this month, and so I need to take time and appreciate each event, since life seems to be FLYING by me at a speed I can't keep up with these days. This Friday, I have the pleasure of seeing The Franklin Electric perform at the Corona Theater in Montreal. I c a n 't waitttt! Although it seems like I'm setting up Tuesday'z tune for them... you'll have to wait until next week ;-)
Today's track is one I found off Soundclouda couple of months ago. It's been tweaked by the now famous DJs based out of NYC, "The Chainsmokers". This duo is better known for their hit "Selfie", which isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I would be totally lying if I said I didn't move a part of my body when the beat hits. The song I chose today, is much more chill, but I really enjoy it.
Here's "Sway" by Anna of the North, remixed by The Chainsmokers.
