Today's Video Share: Inspiration Story About the Song "Circle" by Emily Irene Glazener

Tragically, Emily became a widow at the young age of thirty-three. She found herself a young, single mom- and once again, music saved her. Emily knew she had to keep going for her sons, and she knew it would be through her music. Luckily, Emily has always had the support of her family and sons, which made it possible for her to keep playing. She pushed through, and on top of her solo shows, she began playing with others and found a new love- playing with a rock band.
“I really cut my teeth with [the band] Rock Radio, and I was only a fill-in, but I loved it. That’s when I knew I was hooked- I sang ‘Sweet Child O Mine’ and that was it- I was hooked!”
This began a new journey in Emily’s career- going from solo to “frontman” of a band. She has been a part of several bands over the past decade. Currently, she is in two. Red Iris plays original music, and The Joan Hearts is a popular tribute band that pays homage to another of Emily’s trail-blazing influences, Joan Jett.

Today's Video Share: "The New Normal" by Thea Kearney

After many years of playing in other bands, Thea Kearney, a mom, singer-songwriter, guitarist and visual artist from Brooklyn, NY has resumed her solo music project with the July 2022 release entitled, The New Normal. A full version of the song with spoken word along with a radio edit version were recorded with the help of award-winning producer Richard Emery. Initially written by Thea in 2018 about the gun violence epidemic in the USA, recording and production were delayed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic 

This release and accompanying music videos - both edited by Thea Kearney - are a labor of love for a worthy cause and to make it clear to the public where she stands on important issues and that she doesn't shy away from writing socio-political songs.

As a long-time supporter of Everytown and Moms Demand Action, Thea is so pleased to finally get this song out to the public to serve as inspiration for change and continued efforts for gun sense in America, as well as honoring and remembering the victims of gun violence.

All proceeds made from The New Normal are being donated to the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund in perpetuity.

Today's Video Share: "Rise Up" by Kim Krenik ft. Jennifer Epperley

Indie pop artist Kim Krenik writes piano driven rock and pop music. Her songs flow out of her experiences and many focus on themes of faith, love, struggle, and empowerment. She wrote the inspirational pop song, "Rise Up" after breaking her right foot when she dropped a couch on it while preparing to move from California to Washington. Her full schedule of teaching, packing, raising four kids, and performing came to a halt because she couldn't walk or drive. A couple of weeks in is when she realized it wasn't really her foot, but it was her mind that kept her from accomplishing tasks. She literally had to rise up and force her weak muscles to work. She prayed for healing, which came in time. But in retrospect, she believes God wanted to first heal her broken mind and teach her to train it to RULE the body, rather than let her body rule her mind. Jennifer Epperley Hitsman cowrote and lended her beautiful voice to sing the bridge and harmonies, and Colin Robinson produced and mixed. This song can be found on Kim's "Deep Breath" album and is available at all online stores.

Today's Video Share: "The Other Life" by Break Me Down

Veronica, frontwoman of the band, says: "In the song The Other Life, the protagonist is Grimilde, the evil queen of Snow White who, in the song, questions herself looking in the mirror about what her life would have been like if instead of being an evil character she was been a normal person... despite the doubts, however, she realizes that being bad is the only way to be herself. In the video, Grimilde is a narcissistic, sadistic woman who lives in darkness. After the initial awakening, she confronts her mirror, and aware of her evil nature she decides to have fun imprisoning his victims in this limbo suspended between life and death. The queen plays, weakening her prey with man's greatest fear: darkness, what is unknown, what we fear most. And right in the dark, she drags her intended victims, into oblivion made of darkness… the very world she comes from”.
