Classic rock genius Tommy James writes Spotify top song mashup of Neil Young of Crazy Horse and Cream single



On his new single “Cinnamon Girl/Sunshine of Your Love,” Tommy James pays homage to two longtime favorites with a cover medley of Neil Young’s “Cinnamon Girl” and Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love.” In this bright and tight mashup of Neil Young’s enduring 1970 love song and Cream’s haunting Top 5 hit from ‘67, James showcases his enduring skills as a singer and producer.

Tommy was a big fan of his fellow rock stars in the 1960s. “I’ve been wanting to glue these two songs together for a long time,” says James. “The riffs work together hand-in-glove. They’re the same tempo and key - yet totally different songs!” The track was released to digital outlets worldwide on March 20, 2020 via Aura Entertainment/The Orchard.  

Tommy James is celebrated not only as a singer and songwriter with his band The Shondells in the 1960s, but also as an innovative producer of smashes “Crimson and Clover,” “Mony Mony,” and “Crystal Blue Persuasion,”, with many millions sold in his fifty years of making music. 

Tommy celebrates the music of the 1960s on his weekly radio show ‘Gettin’ Together’ on SiriusXM’s 60s on 6. His acclaimed biography Me, The Mob and The Music is currently in production as a biopic, and he continues to tour nationwide with The Shondells.

New Spotify Single “Jammin” by Dave Sereny Resembles the Smooth Jazz Music of Grover Washington Jr.


Toronto-based Jazz musician, Dave Sereny, pays tribute to Bob Marley with a soulful tune that sounds like something Grover Washington Jr might have played with his release of “Jammin” drawing influences from Jazz and Soul.

The award-winning Jazz musician, Dave Sereny is back with his soulful guitar licks in his latest single, “Jammin”. A rendition of the classic 1977 Bob Marley and The Wailers song, Sereny puts in his own personal melodic riffs with a classic smooth jazz feel bringing a completely new and soothing way to listen to a classic reggae song! With no lyrics other than the background layers of a women’s choir, Dave really emphasizes the instrumental portions especially his soulful guitar melodies. This song is a clear demonstration of how talented a musician Sereny is and what exactly he can do with a guitar even after taking a few years’ break from releasing new music.

Musician Dave Sereny Makes Jazz Guitar Music with His Release of New Single on Spotify “Come Here Baby”

Dave Sereny, an award winning  musician based in Toronto, Canada, for his jazz like guitar music is making noise from his latest release  “Come Here Baby” from his highly anticipated new album “Talk To Me!”



“Talk to me” is Dave Sereny’s newest album that showcases his creative genius taking guitar music in a new direction with his silky smooth notes and the intricate details within his compositions. For instance, on the track ‘Come Here Baby” he incorporated the Uganda-based Neema Children’s Choir on the background vocals with the intention to help raise awareness of the problems facing Uganda’s youth as well as to help fundraise towards the goals of the Neema Child Project. Separating himself from his fellow guitarist he is an artist who not only writes for the sake of his music but for the sake of something much bigger than himself that we can’t help feel humbled by.

The details and intentions of this album have people talking.  The Wave 94.7’s Stu Berketo had some kind words to say about the Toronto Artists’ album:



“Talk To Me unleashes 14 amazing tracks, a dozen of which are original, and blends stylish guitar jazz, funk and soul influences into a project that is easily defined by it’s beats per minute, and Sereny’s own vocal talent blended among brilliantly arranged instrumentals. ”

Fall in Love with Singer Songwriter Leslie Cours Mather All Over Again



Leslie Cours Mather has had a busy year. Since fall of 2017 she has released a series of singles that have found favor in the adult contemporary radio charts, including her stirring patriotic track entitled “We Are America.”

On September 28th Mather will be releasing the project “I’m A Survivor,” which contains her radio friendly single of the same title, and a variety of rousing and inspiring tracks that combine great musicianship with Mather’s soaring vocals.

Leslie Cours Mather, like many of her fans, is a survivor of hardship. Having undergone a kidney transplant, her daughter’s leukemia diagnosis, and the unexpected passing of her father, Mather built a thick skin.

New Motivational Music on Spotify by Leslie Cours Mather has Contagious Positivity


I’m still obsessing over Leslie Cours Mather’s new song “Love’s Gonna Do That”. It’s just as fun to listen to now as it was the first time. The song is just so quotable that I’ve had it stuck in my head for a week now, not that I’m complaining. I feel like I’m a happier person having listened to this inspirational song. I can’t wait for her new album “I’m a Survivor” to come out next month! If “Love’s Gonna Do That” is a preview about what’s to come on the album, then it can easily become one of my favorite albums of the year!  This song, and Leslie Cours Mather as an artist overall truly represent the best in the Adult Contemporary genre - blending pop, soul, rhythm and blues and rock influences (and also a lil’ bit of country in there as well)!

This song is inspiring for me because I love how honest Leslie is in the song. The idea that love can make you take chances to follow your dreams, while also being able to come around and hurt you is something all people who experienced heartbreak can relate to. However, I love how Leslie inspires us that love will also put you back up on your feet and believe in it again. Leslie’s songs like “Love’s Gonna Do That” and “We Are America” are definitely the songs that inspire hope in me that anything is possible.  Spotify’s curators thought so too, as they added her “We Are America” single to their Music Discovery playlist 

Be sure to follow Leslie on Facebook  and Spotify to stay updated on her latest news and music, and get ready for her new album “I’m A Survivor” that releases on September 28th! You can pre-order it here :)

Like Kelly Clarkson’s "Meaning of Life," Leslie Cours Mather Remains Optimistic about Love on “Love’s Gonna Do That” on iTunes


Listen to the lyrics of Kelly Clarkson’s “Meaning of Life” in this Billboard Article, the takeaway is clear – that after heartbreak when a new door opens,  you have to be ready and willing to walk through it.  That’s what Leslie Cours Mather sings about in her latest song “Love’s Gonna Do That”. It’s a motivational song that talks about taking a huge risk and doing a double down on your dreams. Although she has been heart-broken, struggled, and crushed, she has still remained positive and optimistic that everything will get better. Love is a crazy thing that is going to make you do crazy things like take chances, get hurt, go back again, and, most importantly, believe in yourself.

I loved this new song by Leslie Cours Mather because it has that country flavor that embodies the American can-do attitude. After hearing this song for the first time, I couldn’t help but feel happy and motivated to follow my dreams. This song and her “We Are America” music video are the reasons why I admire Leslie: talented, strong, and inspirational. Be sure to follow Leslie Cours Mather on Facebook  and Spotify to stay updated on her latest news and music, and get ready for her new album “I’m A Survivor” that releases on September 28th!  I just pre-ordered it here :)

Inspired by a variety of strong female artists from Stevie Nicks to Carrie Underwood, singer-songwriter Leslie Cours Mather blends the adult contemporary genre with country influences for her unique and distinct style. The patriotic and uplifting lyrics in her single ‘We Are America’ are resonating with audiences. She passionately invites us all to unite and be strong in the preservation of our country’s core values of freedom and justice.


“Leslie Cours Mather is back with a song to pull us together in these times of division and indecision. ‘We Are America’ should tug at the hearts of all Americans. With attacks from outside and inside, ‘We Are America’ is the song we need to hear.”
-  Dave Young, KDKD Radio

Leslie’s positive messages stretch beyond patriotism. As a wife and mother dedicated to her family, Leslie has grown to be a fighter and a survivor. Coming this fall, she will be releasing her debut album, appropriately titled, “I’m a Survivor,” which contains recent Billboard Adult Contemporary charting tracks, plus her recently released single entitled, “Love’s Gonna Do That.”

Judging by the immense soul and passion that shines through in ‘We Are America,’ there is no doubt that Leslie Cours Mather will continue to impress and inspire her listeners and to fully embrace life despite the obstacles that come along the way.

Have a lot of “spare” time this summer? Spend it bowling with great music from Brian McShea and The Sidemen this month, it’ll be right up your guys’ “alley!” It’s at the popular Lucky Strike bowling alley on Hollywood Blvd., so it’s definitely something you should “strike” off your bucket list.

See Why This Energetic Alt. Band Stands Out on YouTube! Read the Story on NoDepression!


Have you guys checked on the article on NoDepression about Brian McShea and the Sidemen? They absolutely love them! They said how they are “one of the most prolific and diverse in the U.S., and this group contributes to its diversity with their dynamic blend of pop, alternative rock, and jam-band aesthetics.” It makes me so happy to see that Brian and the boys are getting the attention they deserve, especially from a well-known website like NoDepression. Hopefully their publicity will attract new followers that will love these undiscovered gems!

Besides the article, they are also getting a lot more views on YouTube. I remember watching their “Stephanie”music video last week when it only had 500 views, and now it has over 2,500! I know these are rookie numbers compared to the big names like the Foo Fighters or Foster the People, but for an independent artist like Brian McShea and the Sidemen, these numbers are huge! At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if they get in the tens of thousands of views; which would be more than enough of a following to fill up their upcoming shows at The Redwood Bar (7/31) and Lucky Strike (8/26) in Los Angeles!
