Today's Video Share: Singing My Song by Kimberley Witkowski

My name is KYM D.I was sexually abused by my Step-father from the age of 4 to 10.5 years old. I wrote "Singing My Song" to have a voice for myself, to put my shame to bed because he was the one with shame not I. I once may have been a Victim but now I stand strong with many others as a strong-willed Survivor to tell my fortunate story of triumph. The Producers of the TV Show Blue Bloods on CBS found my voice, story and song a project of LOVE and donated their time in there off season to produce my video. I am grateful for the opportunity and just pray I can be an example to many that it is possible to Overcome darkness & find the light. XOXO,KYM D

Today's Video Share: The Same Thing by Kirsten Manville

With elements of Americana, folk, country, and blues, singer/songwriter Kirsten Manville creates songs that feel like they may have come straight from journal entries. Deceptively simple lyrics paint pictures, tell stories, and evoke a range of emotions. Kirsten's music is refreshing and straightforward, and her warm and sultry voice draws the listener in, infusing the songs with feeling and depth.

Her song "The Same Thing" with a lovely bare bones production that features piano and acoustic guitar, captures the pain of longing for someone who longs for someone else. The video brings that story to life, with a melancholy atmosphere, and flashback scenes that shift between color and black and white.

Today's Video Share: Why is a Good Man So Hard to Find? by Linda Carone

This is a song that was written in 1940 and the question remains the same to this day - in 2018. This is my new music video (self-directed/edited) just in time for Valentines Day.  Check out the video where I give a little shoutout to the 'first lady of jazz" and the woman behind the man Louis Armstrong, Ms. Lil Hardin Armstrong.

LINDA CARONE is a vintage jazz and blues vocalist; a niche song stylist and an interpreter of popular music from the 1930’s and beyond. With a voice that has been described as ‘beautiful, rich, sultry and provocative,' Ms. Carone’s raw and natural approach to music has shaped her vocal style in a way that is playful, intimate, and unpretentious. With an uncanny ability to carefully choose songs that fit her voice like a glove, Linda aims to transcend the heart of the song.

Today's Video Share: Village People by Tina Smith

Village People is taken from the new album, AWAKE, released July 10, 2017. The song is an upbeat and energetic call to unity for all people, of all walks of life. The message of the song, and of the artist as well, is one of acceptance, love, and the ability to walk alongside those with whom we don't necessarily agree. Tina Smith writes about life and living it, and the search for a way that makes sense for us as individuals, yet also considers the implications of being a part of one beautiful HUMAN race.

Today's Video Share: Sweet SantaFe by Baxter Rivero

If you can imagine the warmth of the Caribbean ocean, and the remembrance of a haunting prairie field, the joy of a community coming together, and the zest of a family fiesta. Then you can imagine the kind of music Sweet SantaFe creates. Firmly rooted in their own traditions, Penelope Christine Baxter a songwriter from Alberta and Michel Rivero Mordoch a Cuban Troubadour and Trova writer met and the incendiary passion began.
Their debut album Santa Fe is thickly woven from the threads of a strong background in choral singing, stitched together with words in Spanish and English creating a blanket so warm you’ll want to snuggle up to enjoy their songs of cinematographic scenes that carry hope, joy and love.

Their songs are authentic, their rhythmic blends are rich, giving their audiences a fresh and infectious experience that the world is so in need of. This is no Buena Vista Social Club, nor is it simply a folk, country or pop album. It’s original. Two writers following their truth, with an intrinsic need to create connection where ever they are. I dare you, close your eyes and be transported.

Today's Video Share: Dandelion by Just Micci

This is one of my earliest songs I wrote when I was about 15. But the idea of it still resonates with me.

Dandelions are just beautiful flowers in the wrong place. They are perceived as weeds, only to those who don't take the time to learn about their awesome super powers. So here's to all the underestimated and beautiful weeds in this world. You are loved. <3

Today's Video Share: Dark Light by Castle Black

Castle Black is a Brooklyn-based rock trio, bringing a powerful and thunderous sound, full of hard-hitting jams, never sacrificing the hook. Described as drawing from punk, post-punk, grunge, alternative and new wave, Castle Black refuses to be pinned down to a genre. Each song careens through an almost stream of consciousness depiction of life stories, social anthems and raw emotions. Gritty female vocals, delicate back-up adornments, roaring drums, canny bass and guitar-forward hooks collide, staying in your head for days on end.

"Dark Light" was the first single off their sophomore EP, Losing Forever. The video was filmed, directed and edited by Jeff Allyn Szwast, and was shot in Brooklyn, New York. The video careens through the dystopian and unsettling images of the song, offering multiple viewpoints and interpretations.
