Indie Spotlight: Up and Coming DJ Austin Jeffrey

Profile of Austin Jeffrey, new DJ on the scene.

Says Austin:
"The listeners call me DJ AJ when I'm behind the mic. I got into radio about a year and a half ago - it will be 2 years on July, 16, 2015. I can be heard on not one or two but three online radio stations. I can be heard on My Mix Radio and Mixlr FM from 6-8pm Monday-Friday and starting Sunday, January, 25th, I can also be heard on The Vibe. It's awesome how something small can turn into something so big. It is amazing to see how far I've gotten since July, 16, 2013. My dream is to work at K105 or 97.3 WMEE in Fort Wayne, Indiana in the future. At this point if I keep going in this direction, I am going to get there!"

Legendary Producer Stuart Epps Now Working With Independent Artists

Legendary record producer STUART EPPS, who has worked with artists including Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Oasis, Robbie Williams, Bill Wyman and Twisted Sister, is now working with independent artists from around the world, and LadyLake Music is supporting this new endeavor.

With his new production company EMP (http://www.eppsmusicproductions.com/), record producer STUART EPPS lends his years of recording expertise to independent musicians in the current trend of artists making their own records.

With diminishing record company budgets, and many artists going the DIY route, new artists are often left to their own devices and to finance their own recordings, be it putting together demos or finished productions for release.

With his extensive experience of producing top artists, Epps is giving new and unsigned bands and solo artists production help, from re-mixing home recordings, to full studio productions at competitive rates.

Support Independent Artists Through UHAA Marketplace

Sharing via our friends at UHAA:
http://www.uhartsgroup.com/onlinestore

One of the goals of our mission is to promote the work of independent artists of all genres with little or no overhead. We place art in businesses and online stores through our Arts Crawl Partnering Program in a manner that benefits both. Our motto of "Support Local. Think Global" applies to anyone from any area who joins us and not just those from the Western New York area. For that matter, we are now a global association. We hope to fill our online store with independent art, ornaments, cds, books, videos and crafts.

Currently, our store carries ornaments, fine art, crafts, music, books and soaps. The proceeds of some products benefit non-profits such as "Kids Escaping Drugs", "Villa Maria Glass Studio" plus our own free community art programs for children and families.

Products include:

Soaps by Silver Raven Soap (Lisanne Wozniak). Proceeds to benefit Kids Escaping Drugs.

Glass ornament by glass artist SM Ann Therese Kelly whose work has been shown throughout the United States.

Framed watercolor painting by watercolorist Mary Connally.

Heat spun sculpture by Lawrence Kinney whose sculptures using glass and resins have been installed throughout the US and Puerto Rico.

Loretta Hagen - Live Webshow on Concert Window

Loretta Hagen will be doing a live webshow on Concert Window, which starts at 7:00pm EST on December 7. Wherever you are in the world, you can tune in! She’ll be taking requests and answering your questions. You can purchase online tickets on a pay-what-you-want basis starting now at
http://www.concertwindow.com/shows/11054-loretta-hagen.
*The webshow will not be available after the live broadcast.*

Reviewers describe Loretta Hagen as ‘heart driven, soul filling, award winning, Folk Americana.‘ Her rich alto voice and strong songwriting skills have led her to win many awards, including a 2013 JAM Awards’ (Jersey Acoustic Music Awards) “Top Female Songwriter of the Year,” JAM nomination for “Album of the Year,” winner of the NJ Folk Festival Songwriter Competition and designation as a CT Folk Festival finalist.
Hagen’s third CD, “Mud and Stone,” features uplifting folk ballads, up-tempo country swing, and cool, bluesy grooves. “Mud and Stone” debuted at #10 on Folk DJ Charts, consistently #1 on the Roots Music Report for NJ, #5 Top 50 Folk Albums RMR, and continues to receive airplay throughout the US, Canada and Europe. She has performed at premiere venues across the Northeast and Nashville, sharing the stage with Pete Seeger, Roger McGuinn, Sloan Wainwright, Steve Forbert, Richie Havens, Kim Richey and Marshall Crenshaw among others.
Following her critically acclaimed CD Something More, co-produced by Pat McInerney (Nanci Griffith), Hagen released Sundown Till Dawn, a CD that garnered rave reviews and radio play across the country. Sundown Till Dawn is extremely personal, with the title track written about her mother who suffered with Alzheimer’s Disease. Loretta’s Mom passed away peacefully this summer at her home. The emotionally charged ballad is included on the soundtrack of a film called “10 Mountains 10 Years” chronicling the journey of a group of mountain climbers who are raising awareness about the disease. Loretta performs primarily with her trio consisting of husband/guitarist Gary Hagen and djembe players Linda Lambiase or Curtis Kretz.

“This effort [Mud and Stone] is first class, top tier. Loretta Hagen is a true contender as an artist to reckon with.”
