Madi Simmons has released his latest song ‘Long Time Yearning’, which demonstrates his distinct sweet reggae sound

Hailing from the United States, Madi Simmons is known to have entered the performing scene at the age of 16. He started out playing the drums, songwriting and singing. Throughout his life Madi’s key musical influences have been Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, John Bonham, Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, and that’s just to name a few……honestly, there are so many other influences, you will actually hear them in his voice.
Madi has got a wide musical range and has the ability to send your mind to a nostalgic place……with vibes that remind us of Black Uhuru and a voice that combines Gregory Issac, Peter Tosh and Dennis Brown into one, Madi Simmons is still pushing out his sweet reggae music.

Mainly known for playing drums and having a strong vocal delivery, Madi learned over the years to perfect that one drop among other styles, though as you will hear, his preference is to use his voice. He has toured quite a bit in the last 20 years, performing on stages from the Pacific Northwest, California, Hawaii, and from the Midwest to the West Coast. Madi has appeared in major events such as Cougar Mountain fest, Benbow Summer Art fair, Unity fest, North Country fair, and even Reggae On The River as an Emcee and performer.

Now he is sparking interest in Europe and other parts of the world – Madi was also voted best indie artist on two different showcases.

Multi-instrumentalist Gerry Smoot will captivate music lovers with his new single ‘Sweet Delight’

Born in Owensboro; the industrial, medical, retail and cultural hub of western Kentucky, Gerry Smoot let the elements of his surroundings birth a multi-instrumentalist musician. Propelled to learn and eager to match his influences; Jeff Lorber, Prince, D’Angelo, George Duke, Art Tatum, and John Blackwell Jr., just to name a few, Gerry was on the “keys” by the age of 2.

With more inspirations from Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, Gerry was playing the drums by age 7, bass guitar by age 9 and having full music recording sessions by age 12. The dedication and passion for music was a born identity. This vision manifested itself when at the age of 15, Gerry accompanied gospel jazz keyboard producer Ben Tankard on the organ.

Alaskan Rhino has released a new track called ‘Concentrate – Extended Mix’, which is a follow up from the track ‘Concentrate’.

Alaskan Rhino has just released a new track called ‘Concentrate – Extended Mix’, which is a follow up from the track Concentrate.

This is just another coup to add to his repertoire of songs which varies from chill to upbeat tracks; using instruments from all around the world.


Alaskan Rhino explains how this track came about.

I was just working on a song with lyrics (the original Concentrate song I released) and really concentrating on the beats I was putting together for my song. I started playing around with the word concentrate and my beats. The next thing I know I had this awesome concentrate lyric/beat combo that I wanted to turn into its own song entirely. So I made Concentrate Extended Mix which focused on the beat more than lyrics.”

Producer, Alaskan Rhino was born and raised in Alaska and has been making experimental electronic music for over 10 years.

Fitzsimon and Brogan were both members of the band, Pretty Blue Gun, who were signed to an indie label licensed to Sony.  They released two albums which were critically acclaimed. Some of the guest musicians included members of The Art of Noise, Dave Bronze (Eric Clapton’s bass player), Tobias Boshell (Moody Blues) and Pip Williams who played guitar on the Walker Brothers’ track, ‘No Regrets’.  The albums were produced by Pat Collier, who produced Katrina and the Waves’ international hit, ‘Walking on Sunshine’.  The band went on national tours across the UK until disbanding.

Neil Fitzsimon, the songwriter, and Bee Brogan, the vocalist, then went on to form a song writing/production partnership that led to placement of their songs in Film and TV.  They also wrote a musical, Jack Dagger, which was showcased at the Greenwich Theatre, London for the Musical Futures Award.  It was also showcased at the Bridewell and the Royal College of Music in London.  They have also just had a song placed in a USA Sci Fi Feature film. They recently had a track reach number 3 in a French national download chart. Their single, Girl in a Gilded Cage, reached number one on the iTunes chart in Belgium for all genres.

All songs are written by Neil FitzsimonVocals, keyboards, drums and engineering by Bee Brogan.  All guitars played by Neil Fitzsimon. All mixed by Pat Collier at Perryvale Studios, London.

Fitzsimon and Brogan see themselves as a studio act much in the vein of Tin Tin Out and Talk Talk.  Their influences range from The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Jimmy Webb, Jacques Brel, The Smiths and David Bowie. Their aim is to produce pure pop for now people.

They are honoured now to be working with one of their heroes, David Bowie’s drummer from The Spiders from Mars, Woody Woodmansey. Previous to this they worked with Elvis Costello’s drummer, Pete Thomas. These new tracks are on their newest album, This Wicked Pantomime which is to be released soon.

FITZSIMON AND BROGAN

Every once in a while, we like to push the boundaries of the scope of the pop music we release. FaB (Fitzsimon and Brogan) are one such example. In the 90’s, Neil Fitzsimon and Bee Brogan were both members of the band Pretty Blue Gun who were signed to Cavell Records, an indie label licensed to Sony.

They released two critically-acclaimed albums. After PBG split, the couple went on to form a song writing/production partnership that led to placement of their songs in film and TV. All the songs on this specially-priced 2CD “This Wicked Pantomime” (Disc 2 consists of 11 previously unreleased tracks) are written by Neil who also plays all of the guitars. Vocals, keyboards, drums and engineering is by Bee.

Bee’s a vocal phenomenon with a unique range. At times, she can sound like Peter Perrett of The Only Ones, and at others, like a sultry Marianne Faithfull. David Bowie’s drummer from The Spiders from Mars, Woody Woodmansey and Elvis Costello’s drummer, Pete Thomas both guest on the record.

The record was mixed by Pat Collier (of The Vibrators).

What are the Press saying ?

 “Manhattan’s avant garde would be proud of them.” – Pete Thomas

“They have a unique and refreshing approach to their music especially at a time when so many things being produced seem to sound the same.” – Woody Woodmansey

“Their goal is pretty clear and they deliver with tremendous musicianship and melodies that stay in your head from the get-go.” – MusicExistence.com

“When Fitzsimon’s brilliant arrangements, witty lyrics, beautifully whimsical melodies, and Brogan’s perfectly coy vocal deliveries come together against a backdrop of shimmering keys, jangling guitars, and bewitching backup harmonies, something magical happens.” – Jamsphere Magazine

“Anchored in pop, FaB incorporate a great deal of styles into the sound ranging from Glam Rock to Psychedelic Rock. By far the heart and soul comes from their poetic lyricism which is delivered with a fiery passion that recalls David Bowie’s most playful and theatrical work.” – BeachSloth.com To our ears, FaB have created a swaggeringly fun record that cultivates some of the most beloved traits of pop music and yields a product that is not only easy to relate to but is stylistically different from anything else that’s on the market today.
