The hippest Hip Hop of the century! Tearing up the independent music charts, these guys arebringing real Hip Hop back to the forefront of the music industry. A new and exciting sound from three very energizing young men.
TOM MORAN
For singer and songwriter Tom Moran, music has "been an itch" since he was in his teens. Now, Moran is debuting his first album, "Starting Over," a tribute to the power of sobriety and second chances. A Brooklyn, New York native, Moran says he first picked up the guitar as a kid, spending his days perfecting his craft. It wasn't long before Moran began testing out his vocal abilities with the encouragement of singers in the family.
Fast forward two decades later and Moran continues to be a music force that reflects the sentiments of his upbringing as he plays at local neighborhood bars and venues across Brooklyn. On the relentless advice of fans and friends, Moran made his way into the recording studio and cut his first album. "Starting Over" reveals the story of an underdog gone good, and a man learning to recognize that positive gains can be made through difficult and painful times. "It's about the average person trying to get through the harships of life and coming out the other side a better person," says Moran. An eclectic mix of rock, country, grassroots and a hint of blues,
Moran's fan base is made up of thirty-something's who share a love for classic rock & roll. Tracks of note include "Help Me Baby", "Into The Sun", "I Would Drink", "Small Record Deal", and "Starting Over". Moran admits icons including John Mellencamp, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen have provided the inspiration for much of the album. It doesn't hurt that reviewers have compared his smoky vocals to the likes of Keth Richards and Bob Dylan. When he's not making music, Moran flexes his muscles as a physical education teacher and a family man.
ROGER DAVIS
At an impressionable young age, the love of music flourished for singer/songwriter Roger Davis. This young boy's enthusiasm for music began with the Shiloh Baptist Church. There, on Sunday mornings, one could hear the familiar sounds of Hymns and Old Negro Spirituals being sung by the choir and congregation in four-part harmony, clapping hands and foot-stomping would accompany the soulful gospel. "A capella", as defined by Webster's New World Dictionary is "to be without instrumental accompaniment." The only time instruments were incorporated at the Baptist Church was during Revival or Holy Week. During these times the piano, organ, guitars, drums and bass were introduced. Acoustic Guitars were always and still remain my favorite. "There were times I'd close my eyes and listen. Everything was 'a capella'. It was the purest sound I'd ever heard." Perhaps the most defining moment of my childhood was during Sunday School one morning. My teacher asked the class, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" While most of my classmates at the time aspired to be doctors and lawyers, firemen and football players, I replied, " I want to play guitar. I want to sing and write my own songs. I want to tour the world and have my very own band." Sidewalk Cafe"
Steve Thorpe
This is a powerful and blues packed CD, and that’s all there is to say, but I’ll tell you anyway. I had to stop and wonder if I’d ever seen this guy, and ask myself, where’s he been all my life! He is one of the hottest guitarists I’ve heard in a while, and once I put it on, It just kept ripping me apart. This recording consists of 12 tracks mostly picked from a list of guitar great’s B.B. King, who dominates with four of his cuts here. A funky version of “The Thrill Is Gone,” the classic “Everyday I Have the Blues,” “Never Make A Move Too Soon,” and the medley “Sweet Little Angel/How Blue Can You Get,” with the other half by Jack Clement all provide enough entertainment to fill Lake Michigan. Another medley of sorts includes t he thrashing opener, “Dust My Broom/Boot Hill.”
A stunning rendition of Jimi’s “Little Wing” is here, and is nearly a light year long at just over nine minutes. It scorches the listener with it’s incredible solo’s by Thorpe, and a drenching melody from the band. It’s one of the best versions I’ve ever heard. Several other precise and accentuated tracks are present that relive the story of the blues including Willie Dixon’s “Young Fashion Ways,” and Broonzy’s “Key To The Highway.” The staple classics “I Just Want A Little Bit,” and “Stormy Monday,” only strengthen the foundation of this recording.
