Sound Cloud Sunday May 27, 2018
We were happy to host Jack Symes in studio this week as he launches his “Good Company” tour, 13 gigs in 16 days to raise money and awareness for Surfrider Foundation, an organization helping and defending our shorelines and our oceans from pollution and drilling. Jack will be touring up and down the coast beginning June 5 at the Patagonia Store in Santa Monica on 4th Street. Their eco-friendly great sponsors will be there selling and distributing all kinds of goodies and Laurel Canyon Radio is proud to support Jack’s efforts. Check out The Surfrider Website
and why not drop them a donation to help their important work get done.

Hometown: North Bay, Canada
Album: Collette Savard and the Savants debut was self-released in January.

O&O – Tears in The Rain
Hometown: London via Denver and Israel

Luke Winslow-King – Blue Mesa
Hometown: Cadillac, MI
Album: From his 6th album “Blue Mesa” just out on Blood Shot Records
Review Snippet: Don’t look for ferocious twists and turns on Luke Winslow-King’s “Blue Mesa.” Though he well knows life is usually far from trouble-free, this is a collection of soulfully simple and effective songs with a wide range of guitar sounds and a mix of blues, rock, folk and boogie.
Next Time in LA: Hotel Café on June 28.

Jimmie Allen – Best Shot
Hometown: Southern Delaware
Album: His self titled debut EP is out on Stoney Creek records.
Review Snippet: Those driving forces form the bedrock Allen’s EP, a cutting-edge mix of country, rock, R&B, and pop produced by Ash Bowers and Eric Torres. Ironically, it’s the same sound he had when he first arrived in Nashville, but now things are different.
Next Time in LA: Don’t see him near LA but he is playing at the California Rodeo Kickoff in Salinas, and Harrah’s Dive in Funner (near Temecula) on July 12-13.

Pharis & Jason Romero – Sweet Religion
Hometown: Horsefly, BC, Canada
Album: From the album “Sweet Religion” just released on Lula Records.
Review Snippet: Spine tingling beauty of the human voice and a simple set of strings.

CC Smugglers – Dirty Money
Hometown: Beds County, UK
Album: No album yet, but this song/video is a bloody hoot!
Review Snippet: Described as ‘Genuinely innovative, creative and contemporary’ CC Smugglers have developed a reputation for unique original compositions and red hot live shows.

Matt McGinn- Medicine Joe
Hometown: Dublin, Ireland
Album: “The End of The Common Man”
Review Snippet: Although at home in the studio recording and producing it’s live where the magic really happens. Matt’s immediate bond with an audience whilst surrounded by some of Ireland’s best musicians, mean no two shows will ever be the same.

Dead Horses – American Poor

Album: “My Mother The Moon” (self-released on April 6)
Review Snippet: ‘My Mother the Moon’ is Dead Horses’ third album, which NPR Music has described as “evocative, empathetic storytelling,” Rolling Stone has already called “a beautifully uncluttered collection of songs,” and No Depression has declared as “a lovely album” and notable upcoming roots music release.
Next Time In LA: Redwood Ramble up in Navarro on July 14.
