Steve Daley Band knows what they do best and do it. Relying on clean vocals and crafted instrumentation, Steve Daley Band scores big. “Ain’t Misbehavin’” has that refined sound to it. One note and you’re transported to an elegant dinner party where the attendees are dressed like those found between the pages of “The Great Gatsby.” The notes trinkle in and cause nothing but smiles on listeners. “Crazy” is a slower one than the previous, but the vocals are still strong and carry the song the whole way through with the help of the fine instrumentation. You could hear this in the lounge of a five star hotel during the holidays. Taking on a classic, Steve Daley Band, cover “When You Wish Upon a Star.” Made famous when it was written for Disney’s hit “Pinocchio,” the Steve Daley Band stay true to the original without changing too much. When you’re dealing with Disney, you only have to be able to step up to the plate and deliver, not add extra things here and there. If you’re into music that could be found on the stage of a nice lounge, check out Steve Daley Band. (https://www.stevedaleyband.com/)

Kostas Petropoulos is a musical chameleon who ranges in style throughout his realm. “Blue Eyes” sounds like the start of an action movie. The intro music is packed full of the energy that you’d see as a car flies down the highway. The lead actor thinking about what he’s done and what he’s heading towards. As the lyrics set in the rap element don’t take you out of the movie scene created earlier, it only adds to it as the female vocals are an addition that makes it a well-rounded track. As winter sets in and begins to contribute to a lot of tweets about it being horrible, like it’s a shock that it gets cold in December, you can ignore all that with Petropoulos’ “Cold December.” Instead of going outside and being miserable, take in this song that’ll heat things up with its mesmerizing musical elements. Stepping away from the seasonal for a second, “Your Love Is All I Want” didn’t sound like the traditional love song. It had an industrial vibe to it and was on the creepy side, unless you’re into that – if so, then it was totally romantic. Musically Kostas Petropoulos is all over the place. The base seems to be rock but after that it’s up in the air. Variety is key and he doesn’t get stuck in one place. He can be rock one minute and then rapping the next. If you like artists, who can give you a little bit of everything, check out Kostas Petropoulos. (https://www.reverbnation.com/kostaspetropoulos)

GregoryD is a man who puts his worship in his music and with that in hand and his ministry as well, he’s got a group together in Lansing, Michigan that are called GregoryD and Company. Together they create music that’s touching and pleasing to the ears. “He’s Good” is a beautiful contemporary Christian song that has well polished vocals to match the lyrics that touch on so many levels. There’s a song with no title, but even though it lacks there it makes up for it in the wonderfully crafted piano that’s all without and only lifts the lyrics and places them closer to the heart of listeners everywhere. So far things have been very calm with the music from GregoryD and Company, but then “I Surrender” comes in and though it’s not this wild party, it’s a little more upbeat, but not to the point that it loses the heart of the song. GregoryD and Company have very strong vocals that can only be seen as a gift from the Lord they have so much love for; so much so they put their love to song and carry it on to audiences to enjoy. If you’re a fan of music that’s good for the soul, check out GregoryD and Company. (https://www.reverbnation.com/gregorydandcompany)

Bob Lucido is a New Yorker who has had a firm grasp on the Big Apple since he came into this world in 1946. “Everybody Needs Some Love” has a Billy Joel feel to it. It’s got that older aura but has a spark of youth in it that you can hear throughout in the positive energy. That one has a light pace but “Message Here Tonight” is one that you listen to for a nice evening at home. It’s the ballad of sorts. Lucido tears at your heart strings with “Working Mom.” It’ll touch anyone who’s ever had a hard working mother. You see her struggles and have all the respect in the world for her. If you want to say thanks, send her this song accompanied by some flowers. You can hear that piano bar atmosphere in “Sister Jane” as it’s a story told with melodies that are strung along perfectly. If you’re a fan of Billy Joel, check out Bob Lucido. (https://www.jango.com/music/bob+lucido?l=0)

Lebish Grinnell Music is two men who love to make music and enjoy life. They create heartfelt songs that showcase what they’re all about. Two things some need in the morning before they start their day is the good book, and a cup of Joe. Lebish Grinnell Music captured that idea with the upbeat, yet easygoing track “Coffee and a Bible.” We get a little more secular with “Final Approach” as far as the music goes because that alone sounds like what you’d hear from AC chart toppers like Hall and Oates in the 80’s. “Sapphire Blue” was brought to my attention through visuals in a video and those shots combined with the calming tone of the vocals could only land me in serene state of mind. The visuals also help to create the idea that this song if for the loved ones of Lebish Grinnell Music. If you’re a fan of acts like Ryan Adams then you have to see what Lebish Grinnell Music is cooking up and dig in. (https://www.lebishgrinnellmusic.com/)

EB3 can sing, dance, write and rap. He’s a jack of all trades that’s ready to pop. “The ComeUpp” sounds low, whatever words there are they are continuously lost under the stacks of sounds coming out above them. It’s hard to really grasp what genre EB3’s music is with that one but it’s clearer as “Basically Bomb” begins. He’s basically like the male Ciara in that he creates music that’s full of sex appeal, ready for the club and ready to make its way to the airwaves as soon as it can. He’ll make it clap with “I’m So Ebthreezy” and make many senses tingle with the delicious ways of “Ice Cream & Martians.” The music is R&B but has enough energy and youth in it that it pops. You can hear that in the inspiring words in “Stay Strong, Believe & Follow Your Dreams” and the energetic mindset of “All About Me.” If you’ve found yourself wanting a pop star that is like a mix of Chris Brown and Ciara, look no further – EB3 is here.

Beat It Music creates music that’ll make your inner Mario bounce. “South Florida Block Party” just sounds like something you’d hear in an extreme sports video game; SSTricky for example. The energy is there, but not distracting. While that song seemed a perfect pit for gamers, “Better Than Yesterday” is one of those songs that go well with a club setting. It’s one to start the night with because it’s not too overwhelming but at the same time has enough power to get things going. We’re back to playing games with “Disco Boy.” The random effects are like power ups being unlocked. When listening to Beat It Music you can’t help but feel happy. The music is never dismal and the bonus points are never ending – well the additives in the songs. That’s until you get to “Blew Me Away,” which has a little bit of a darker atmosphere, but not much. If you’re into electronic music that doesn’t play games when it comes to creating an audible realm made for them, check out Beat It Music. (https://www.myflashstore.net/profile/38583-Beat-it)
