Pete Gardiner Has A Brilliant New Song And He’s Ready To ‘Sing from The Heart’.

Pete Gardiner has been busy during lockdown; he spent countless Fridays hosting ‘A Song & A Drink with Pete Gardiner’ where he hosted online gigs singing, of course, his brilliant original music and then an increasingly diverse selection of covers. The effect of these gigs was twofold in that it enabled Pete to hone his rapport with his original music and there was a feeling that he went through a process of falling back in love with his entire catalogue. However, the second effect was that it pushed Pete into songs that he maybe would never have considered attempting before these sessions. It was a joy to watch as this incredibly personable performer showcased his own music alongside classics which straddled virtually every genre. It was a joy to watch as his audience started to push for the originals. As approbation for the originals increased, Pete delivered with more and more confidence. This is a singer whose lyricism borders on modern social poetry and comfortably sits with the music of his idols Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen and to see that realisation dawn on the attentive audience was personally just proof of what I have written many times before. Pete Gardiner is a songwriter of such outstanding ability that we should take notice of, support and push as much as we can.

Omar Veluz – ‘Do You Really Wanna’

Los Angeles native Omar Veluz is a recording artist, professional dancer, and designer, a triple threat who’s always up for a challenge, including turning around his genre and style completely when darkness and aggression is called for. His latest single, ‘Do You Really Wanna’, was created specifically for the horror feature film, ‘Scare Us’, and as a result, Veluz’s horizons opened, and he was able to experiment with a genre he never thought he’d have the opportunity to explore.

Spider Rockets – ‘Rip Your Heart Out’

The Bayshore, although closest to New York City, is probably the least-known stretch of coast in New Jersey, on the very northern edge of Monmouth County. It has its own communities, beaches, amusement parks, traditions, and of course its own distinctive musical sound. Those from New Jersey however, have long recognised it as being the cradle of many great hard rock bands; those who will do whatever they can and perform wherever they’re able, in order to get their message out.

Jack Ryan- ‘Like a Fire’

While we can’t yet say that live music is back, many artists have, during the Covid-19 pandemic, found ways to bring their music to their audiences. Since the easing of restrictions, Connecticut native Jack Ryan has been bringing his joyful pop-rock and country-rock songs to outdoor venues, beer halls, backyards, and any where that will let him perform. While we’re still wary about what yet lays ahead, we’re ready to smile and sing and dance again – and thankfully Jack Ryan, with his new single, ‘Like A Fire’, is up for that challenge.
