Roger Jaeger – ‘It’s My Time’

Redding California singer songwriter Roger Jaeger has assembled a fine group to play the live version of his latest single, ‘It’s My Time’. There’s a drummer who lays down a steady groove, a pianist who supports the song with ringing, resonant, and broad chords, and an acoustic guitarist whose harmonies blend both beautifully and enthusiastically with Roger himself. His combo is assembled in a brick-walled room, and there’s even a choir in the corner. Jaeger looks every bit an Americana frontman, with his easy-going manner and his expressive, red-bearded face. One thing sets him apart however; instead of a guitar in his lap, he plays a sitar.

Matthew J Van Howe Takes Us Into Another World With New Release ‘Legend Of The Galactic Princess’

‘Legend Of The Galactic Princess’, by Matthew J Van Howe, is everything you’d expect from a song with such a title. Part ‘Blade Runner’, part Doctor Who soundtrack, part nod to Gary Numan, and Thomas Dolby (and maybe a little bit of ELO), the song combines the elegance of classical music, with a dark, synth heavy experimentation. The title track of the album of the same name, ‘Legend Of The Galactic Princess’ is out August 13.
