Marcia Guderian





Marcia Guderian is a West Coast artist, singer and songwriter.  Here are some past reviews of her music.

"You can't listen to Marcia's songs without getting to know and appreciate her as sweet, sincere and totally honest .  Her jazzy bluesy tunes reflect and resonate the emotions and moods of human experience.  She weaves a tapestry of experiences, sometimes imagined, sometimes real, into each song....Although Marcia's songs are laced with blues,...her style is upbeat and optimistic with catchy rhythms and genuine warm laughter"
Beth Marsau, Northwest Events and Lifestyle Review

"Marcia approaches her subject matter with a tongue-in-cheek folksy swing.  Under the surface of her lilting alto is a blunt, wise approach to a world expanding in too many directions at once.  She calls a pig a pig but in such a way that you have to laugh....  Many of her themes speak about environmental conciousness, commercial lies and living in this modern society."
Dan Thompson, Seattle Sentinel

"...thoroughly delightful, imaginative and ear-catching, with the fresh feeling of a creative, sometimes off-beat perspective on life and the world, .....Great songs with meaning and charm."
Maureen Jackson, Victory Music Review
____________________

"It's About ... Time" is the 4th CD Marcia has released on her own label - Entendre.  Like its predecessors, this album contains all original music in a variety of styles. 

Beginning the album is City Blues, a soft-rock tune, followed by the lovely melodic - For A While, which features and is dedicated to the memory of violinist, Guy Mulford,

Me And The Blues is a cool blues in A major that shifts to minor for the chorus; View From The Middle is a bluesy swing and Mr Benefactor is more of an uptempo swing;  You Ain't Got Room To Talk is uptempo R&B;  There's some political commentary pieces - The Devil Owns The Oil and Contradiction, that defy description, and some folk - Gentle and Bright, and folk-jazz/pop - Time Such A Time, and more.  Each song on the CD is unique and yet easy to relate to.

Through-out much of Guderian's work there is an undercurrent of whimsical humor that sometimes surfaces and draws your attention at the right moments.   Marcia knows how to make her point, but with a spoonful of humor to soften the blow.

This album also includes Guest Artist Tracks from a number of other talented Pacific Northwest performers: Gary Breitenbucher, Johnny Brewer , Fat James Grosvenor, Frank Jackson, David Jennings, Lonnie Knechtel, Guy Mulford, Ranger Kidwell Ross, and Neil Sorenson.   The liner notes inside the CD booklet credit the individual tracks to the performers.

Marcia is also the graphic artist who designed the CD packaging.   In addition to the provocative, NW theme, cover and booklet art, a creatively entertaining lyric sheet is included.

The CD may be listened to and/or purchased on CDBaby.com: www.cdbaby.com/cd/marciaguderian2

Steve Law Band





We've just finished our new CD "Old Oak Tree". It is set for a September 2014 release. It is seven unique and different songs that highlight the the talents of each band member.

Steve Law Band "Old Oak Tree" is light, crisp and clean. It is impossible not to tap your foot or feel some warmth when you listen.

Steve Law has had "all this music" stored up for years, just building up. Now it is just pouring out. Mainly it is what he can create with a guitar and his voice. According to Steve, "going into the studio and playing with all kinds of unbelievable musicians is like laying down the best paint on a new canvas". Working with the audio painting is the opportunity to create in the world what he is thinking in his head.

Steve started learning guitar and cello in elementary and middle school. By the time he had reached high school he dropped the cello which was a "serious mistake" according to Steve. There is not a richer or fuller sound than that of the cello. When he looks back on his decision to quit playing cello it is something that he genuinely regrets. Since the guitar was easier to carry around, he stuck with that. He has been continuing to learn how to play the guitar since that time.

Steve Law Band's EP "Balance" was released in October of 2011

The excitement of playing has never worn off for Steve. Connecting with the audience is always so much fun, ulitmately being able to touch them (the audience) lyrically or musically, it starts an adventure that is shared. Regardless of whether it is 20 people or thousands, Steve and his band always give every show everything that they have to give.

Steve's influences are too many to mention with a full range from classical to heavy metal. Some artists to name a few are Tom Petty, The Beatles, Michale Hedges, Leo Kottke and the list goes on. It all comes down to primarily guitar driven music.

The bassist/guitarist/singer/engineer for the band is Kyle Zender. Toddy Ivy is the amazing voice and percussion that complements the sound of band, beautifully filling out the sound. Finally Hill Baker most recently joined the band on the drum kit and cajon.

The band has worked up over 30 original songs and a hand full of covers. Steve Law Band can play a short opening set from betweeen 3 to 3 hours.

The new songs seem to come out constantly now.The more I play the more I love it.I create interesting and unique guitar driven melody that is overlaid with lyrics from life experience that people can feel. We play as a four piece band.

We've just finished our new CD "Old Oak Tree". It is set for a September 2014 release. It is seven unique and different songs that highlight the the talents of each band member.
Steve Law Band "Old Oak Tree" is light, crisp and clean. It is impossible not to tap your foot or feel some warmth when you listen.

Mariah Carey’s Label Boss L.A. Reid on Her Chances of Another No. 1 Hit: ‘It’s Not Realistic’

Mariah Carey, L.A. Reid

“Radio doesn’t cater to veteran artists or legends,” Epic Records CEO says
One day after Mariah Carey returned to the stage of the Billboard Music Awards for the first time in 15 years, her label boss L.A. Reid expressed skepticism about the chart-topping prospects for new single, “Infinity.”
Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid said in a far-ranging interview withBillboard published Monday: “To even be on the radio at this point in her career is a huge accomplishment, because radio doesn’t cater to veteran artists or legends. Radio caters to in-the-moment stars.”
Reid was quick to point out that Carey is not the only legacy artist to have trouble cracking the charts these days.
“Nobody that put out records 25 years ago is going to have a No. 1. Not Paul [McCartney], Stevie [Wonder], Bruce [Springsteen], Mick [Jagger] or Keith [Richards]. Not Prince, not anyone,” he said. So if she can get on the radio, we’ve done damn good. Would we like to have a No. 1? F– yeah, I’m greedy. But it’s not realistic.”
Maybe it’s that kind of honesty that brought Carey back to Reid, who signed the 45-year-old star to Epic in March and immediately packaged a greatest-hits collection, “#1s,” to accompany her Las Vegas concert residency. While at Universal’s Island Def Jam records, Carey felt she was languishing without Reid’s support.
“I felt really abandoned by him. I was lost. I really didn’t like being at a place without a family. You’ve gotta have people that actually care about you as an artist, that’s first and foremost, and as a person as well,” Carey recently told the L.A. Times.
“That’s what you get with him. I was kind of like floundering, doing some work that I’m still really proud of.”
Carey’s residency at Caesars Palace includes two more dates in May, with nine shows scheduled for July.

24GIS DEBUT ALBUM "IN&OUT", HIP-HOP HAS TRAVELED BEYOND THE SHORES OF GEOGRAPHICAL LIMITATIONS
 
April 3, 2015, (Lagos, Nigeria) -- 24Gis is a duo group made up of Tino & Sqilz. They are song writers and have co-written virtually all the songs in their album. They are based in Nigeria, a country where piracy has eaten the very heart of her music industry and majority of music consumers barely encourage hip-hop artist but that didn't stop the dream. "IN&OUT" is their debut album. The album consist of ten tracks. The album tiltle simply means the IN and OUT of the journey so far for 24Gis. After dropping their debut single "One Look from You ft Gt da guitarman", the positive reviews from fans drove them back to the studio to thrill fans even more.
 
IN&OUt comprises of several hip-hop categories, ranging from hip-hop/rnb, to hip-hop/rap, to hip-hop/reggae and Afro hip-hop. Key tracks in the album include: Come Home, So Close, Anywhere You Are From and When You Are Down. There's no doubt that Hip-hop has traveled far beyond the shores of geographical limitations and each of this boundaries might have a different language but not a different feel.
 
24Gis is an independent group with a few local and international tours to their credit. 24Gis distributed their album worldwide through Tunecore. Tino and Sqilz have been together for over a decade now. Hopefully, 24Gis would be among the next good thing to happen to Hip-hop. ###

Michael T. Slager




The officer had said he feared for his life because the man took his stun gun in a scuffle after a traffic stop Saturday. A video, however, shows the officer firing eight times as the man fled.

WASHINGTON — A white police officer in North Charleston, S.C., was charged with murder Tuesday after a video surfaced showing him fatally shooting an apparently unarmed black man in the back while the man ran away.
The officer, Michael T. Slager, 33, said he feared for his life because the man took his stun gun in a scuffle after a traffic stop Saturday. A video, however, shows the officer firing eight times as the man — Walter L. Scott, 50 — fled. The North Charleston mayor announced the state charges at a news conference Tuesday evening.
The shooting comes on the heels of high-profile instances of police officers using lethal force in New York; Cleveland; Ferguson, Mo; and elsewhere. The deaths have set off a national debate over whether police are too quick to use force, particularly in cases involving black men.
North Charleston is South Carolina’s third-largest city, with a population of about 100,000. Blacks make up about 47 percent of residents, and whites account for about 37 percent. The city’s police department is about 80 percent white, according to data collected by the Justice Department in 2007, the most recent period available.
“When you’re wrong, you’re wrong,” Mayor Keith Summey said during the news conference. “And if you make a bad decision — don’t care if you’re behind the shield or just a citizen on the street — you have to live by that decision.”

The shooting unfolded after Slager stopped the driver of a Mercedes-Benz with a broken taillight, according to police reports. Scott ran away, and Slager chased him into a grassy lot that abuts a muffler shop. The officer fired his Taser, an electronic stun gun, but it did not stop Scott, according to police reports.
Moments after the struggle, Slager reported on his radio, “Shots fired and the subject is down. He took my Taser,” according to police reports.
But the video, which was taken by a bystander and provided to The New York Times by the Scott family’s lawyer, presents a different account. The video begins in the vacant lot, apparently moments after Slager fired his Taser. Wires, which carry the electrical current from the stun gun, appear to be extending from Scott’s body as the two men tussle and Scott turns to run.

Oleg Bryjak, Maria Rader die in Germanwings plane crash


Oleg Bryjak, Maria Rader die in Germanwings plane crash

Contralto singer Maria Radner performs during a dress rehearsal for Richard Wagner's opera "Goetterdaemmerung" on March 22, 2010, as part of the Salzburg Easter Festival in Salzburg, Austria.© Kerstin Joensson/AP Contralto singer Maria Radner performs during a dress rehearsal for Richard Wagner's opera "Goetterdaemmerung" on March 22, 2010, as part of the Salzburg Easter Festival in Salzburg, Austria.
A pair of internationally known opera singers, after performing in a Spanish production of Wagner’s “Siegfried,” died Tuesday in a horrific German airplane crash.
Baritone Oleg Bryjak and contralto Maria Radner were among the 150 people aboard Germanwings Flight 9525 when it crashed into the French Alps while headed from Barcelona to Dusseldorf.
The 34-year-old Radner died along with her husband and their baby.
Bryjak, 54, born in Kazakhstan, was reprising his role as Alberich in the German composer’s opera at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona.
He became an ensemble member of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Dusseldorf for the 1996-97 season and was heading back to the German city when he died.
“We have lost a great performer and a great person in Oleg Bryjak,” said Director Christoph Meyer. “We are stunned.”
His opera colleague Radner debuted in January 2012 at the Metropolitan Opera by singing eight performances of “Gotterdammerung” and rose quickly in prominence over the next three years.
Bryjak, according to his biography, appeared on opera stages in Berlin, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, Munich, Paris, Sao Paolo, Tokyo, Vienna and Zurich.
The “Siegfried” production marked Radner’s initial opera in Barcelona, and she was slated to sing later this year in Germany and Buenos Aires. Radner was a native of Dusseldorf.
