Student Musicians Showcase Diverse Music & Styles
Columbus City Schools should be proud of the students who participated in the Marching Band Invitational, Saturday, Oct. 5, at Africentric Early College. It was an encouraging showcase of young performers and music directors of various backgrounds and situations. Each band could be seen making the most out of what they had to work with, which is an essential quality to possess in life.

There's Rock Music...
The backdrop: Rock music is a diverse genre of popular music that emerged in the early 1950s as "rock and roll" in the US and established into a variety of different styles in the 1960s and later, especially in the US and UK. It has its roots in rock and roll in the 1940s and 1950s, a style heavily drawn from the genres of blues, rhythm and blues, and country music.

Got7: The Alpha Men of the K-Pop World
Since 2014, this group has captured the hearts of many with their outstanding vocals, inspiring messages, and relatable personalities along with a growing catalogue of chart-topping hits fused with RnB-inspired instrumentals that continue to make them stand out in the competitive industry of K-Pop.

Memes 1D Fans Can Painfully Relate To
1. Family is more than just blood. They're great, mom. In fact, they're thriving. They just got out of their 4 o'clock photoshoot, and are now headed to their primetime interview taping. They're out there living their best life. How do I know? I stalk Twitter, that's how.

Where Can You Find Great Music in Western New York?
Western New York is an amazing fertile musical “farmland” that just seems to grow great bands, great musicians and great music scenes. The scenes are vast and plentiful, and they range from jazz to blues and from punk to rock and to alternative to rap, with a little singer/songwriter thrown in for good measure. Live music is doing fine and well in and outside of Buffalo.

The Most Epic Rock & Metal Bands
There are way too many bands out there that sound the same, but are on the front page of Kerrang magazines, on all the commercialised rock and metal websites, and print media, but how many bands that don't shout inaudible noise into a mic for four minutes that has no emotional and musical depth do you actually know of?

Music Biz 101
Ever since I watched The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964, I knew exactly what I wanted to do and be in Life. A Musician, a Songwriter, a Performer. Little did I know how long and hard the road would be. I started banging on pots, pans, cardboard boxes or on anything that sounded like a drum. Whenever a song title, idea or concept seeped into my mind, I wrote it down on paper, napkins, or even scraps of paper, whatever I could find. As a boy of 13 or 14, I remember having shoeboxes filled with scraps of papers with song titles I came up with. One day, my grammar school buddies and I got together to do our first music jam. I had just bought a snare drum, while my friends played on acoustic guitars. We would listen to records by our favs: The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Dave Clark 5, The Hollies, The British Invasion groups, The Zombies, The Animals, The Yardbirds, Santana, The Bee Gees, The Young Rascals. Then we moved on to more elaborate groups and artists: Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Bob Dylan, Jeff Beck, The Doors, Simon & Garfunkel, and in between, all of the Motown artists, along with so many Musicians, Songwriters and Artists that it is impossible to list them all.

Undecided Says "Hello"
I've known Undecided for quite some time. Their name is easy to remember and they've got an active channel and Instagram account. Sometimes, when I'd see them in my feed, I'd like their posts, watch some videos of theirs, and then proceed to play their music on repeat.

SoCal Artists You Need to Check-Out Right Now
The music industry is a tough one due to its complexity, demands, and variety of listener interests and talents. "Making it big" takes a lot longer than you might think, and doesn't always look like how we expect it. Nowadays, it simply is not enough to know how to sing or play an instrument. Musical artists need to have a working knowledge of how to use their voice, instruments, social media, sound engineering, public relations, and more. As the general listener, we rarely have the opportunity to see the grueling hours of work that go into the finished product we experience.

"Not Ready To Make Nice"
Have you ever heard the song by Dixie Chicks called "Not Ready To Make Nice"? Do you know the story behind the song? I recently heard this song, and it was not what I expected it to be. I thought it was going to be one of those country songs about breakups or cheating. So, I had heard if it but never listened to it. One day I was listening to some songs and it popped up, and I heard some of it before being able to change it, and I thought to myself, "Hmmm... okay I am going to give this a real listen." So I played it back from the beginning, and it really hit home with me.
