Jerry Bogan



I wrote this song on Memorial Day, 2015. The previous Saturday, I had listed my house for sale. The agent, Lonna Bevel, told me about her son who was killed in Iraq. They opened a coffee shop in his honor called CPL Ray's in Andrew's, TX. This is his photo above. On Sunday, the Preacher at Crossbar Cowboy Church was fired up about the Christian fight. I think he said (yelled) fight the fight about a hundred times during that sermon.

Jerry Bogan is an Artist who focuses on songwriting.  Mixing country music and classic rock, his show stays energized throughout the evening.



Primary Influences:  Jim Croce, Waylon Jennings, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd

THE LONDON BAND - ET TU BRUCÉ

** BRAND NEW SINGLE FROM THE LONDON BAND ‘ET TU BRUCÉ’ **




Et Tu Brucé are a Four piece band hailing from Hanwell in West London playing harmony laden Rock, Pop and Folk Music, comprising Jamie White (Guitar/Vocals) / Siôn Hewitt (Guitar/Vocals) / Darryn Bruce (Bass/Vocals) and his brother Craig on Drums and Vocals.

Et Tu Brucé return after their recent successes, and are back with the outstanding single, ‘Raining in London’.  A delicate cut of dream pop, where West London meets West Coast. Picks on BBC 6 Music, Absolute Radio, and XFM, ‘Raining in London’ brings bursts of The Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, and the California sound ETB have been acclaimed for.

Their triumphant debut album ‘Suburban Sunshine’ was named record of the week by influential music critic, Jim Farber, in the New York Daily News, leading to the band being invited to SXSW to play a showcase performance for the Yahoo! Austin Psych Fest, securing a record deal with SonaBLAST! for ‘Suburban Sunshine’, and an invite from the legendary Zombies to open their next American tour.

Et Tu Brucé toured North America with The Zombies over two tours and three months, playing such celebrated venues as The Troubadour in Hollywood and at the world’s largest music festival, Summerfest in Milwaukee. The group played their own headline shows, opened for great luminaries Al Kooper and Burton Cummings, as well as performing an acoustic set for Dave DiMartino’s Yahoo! Music site. Now, as the original Zombies reunite to tour the seminal Odessey & Oracle album over America, ETB release Raining in London as a taster for their forthcoming album.

With a host of fantastic reviews for both their live and studio work, including noticeable coverage in Rolling Stone and Paste Magazine, and two spots on Bob Boilen’s (NPR’s All Songs Considered) best concerts of 2013, this year is set to be a great year for Et Tu Brucé. There is an eagerly awaited new album released in February, and tours of the UK and the USA planned.

Kyle Warren



Write what you know. That’s why, when singer-songwriter Kyle Warren comes to the piano to compose a song, what emerges is a response to an inspiration that demanded to be set to verse and melody. Ranging from the rocker “Money Man” to the poignant and orchestral “One More Perfect Moment,” the album “Making It Plain” is a tour de force of songs and feelings that connect to the heart. It is music built note by note and phrase by phrase on real moments in time and turning points in lives that can do nothing less but reveal the inner workings of the person who was driven to write it.

Turning points, yes.  And dreams too as the hopeful “Lisbon” demonstrates. “But through troubled times and deadlines / I spend my time thinking of you / And what it would be like in Lisbon.” Certainly not a call to retreat--but a bold statement to restart, recharge or rekindle a sense of adventure. And what greater adventure is there than falling in love no matter where you are?

For the song “My Father’s Coat,” Kyle reaches into his own family history to paint a portrait of life in the open spaces where what you owned you essentially carried on your horse and the beauty of the sunset was reward for your accomplishments at the end of day.  By showing that the proverbial mountains in the distance of that time mirror our own, the ever present drive to carry on is alive and well in the current generation.

Other songs also reveal the person as well as the craftsman at work who seeks to draw the listener in by touching on the very real things that we all have experienced in one way or another.  The title track “Making It Plain” declares in no uncertain terms that sometimes the greatest strength is found in the decision to move on.

Kyle’s love of music began early on in life and set the tone for how he most wanted to express himself.  Growing up in southern California has so much to offer, so many things vying for attention, but it was music and performing that really took hold of him at an early age. Influences came from rock & roll to classical music. The expressions of both, he found, could be powerful to be sure.  

Beethoven could rattle your cage just as much as Lennon if you listened intently to what both artists were expressing with their music—no matter the span of time that separated them historically.  So, the effect on the young boy who looked up to both was profound.  As time went by and either composing or performing was the order of the day, he still looked back on those formative times to remember the passion that is needed to make your point of view stand out to the listener.

Along with producer and bassist Jerry Adamowicz and drummer Mike Weiland, Kyle presents songs on “Making It Plain” that either reflect aspects of his own life or recount a real world experience. A history in song that touches on the universal while revealing the personal.

Having been involved with music for much of his life, including television theme music production (together with Adamowicz)--most notably Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest for many years, American Bandstand specials and Notes from the Road-- Kyle also has a great love of history and science and can usually be found talking about and discussing these subjects late into the night. He lives in Southern California.

Bio
ViennaCC, the Bohemia
ViennaCC lives in Vienna, Austria the bohemian lifestyle. What is a Bohemia? A bohemia likes arts and despises

philistinism. ViennaCC: "The world is full of inspirations. Why not enjoy them? I don't want stress! Who needs richness

for being happy? Maybe life could be better on earth if all people would live a bohemian lifestyle and sim ply take it easy,take it as it comes".

ViennaCC publishes an album when he has finished work. There is no stress, it just got to be a good piece of work. This is why he runs his own labels and publishing company. So there is no pressure from major company's sales managers.

He plays guitar including bass and keyboards. Only drums come out of the box.

Experience
ViennaCC's musical style is indie / pop / rock / electronic. ViennaCC: "Jazz is crap for students and opera is headache music. I want to make art and music to entertain people. I often sing about love. That's worth living for. But also about people (Lomophotographer) and politics (Days Of Rage). If my music will survive centuries is not important for me because the present happens now, not in centuries.".

Started learning piano in the age of 6 and learnt guitar by playing to records, mostly Rolling Stones records. ViennaCC:

"It was easy to play along with the Stones. Maybe that's why I have these Richard riffs in my hands! But I leveled up."

Played various styles with bands, from hardrock and punk to dancehall music. ViennaCC: "That was a great experience.

We had about 300 songs in stock and had to play from disco to polka. And Rock Around The Clock or Happy Birthday

five time if wanted by the crowd. And that from 8pm to 4am. And you learn to arrange the songs for the instruments in the band. Nice money, but it's a killing job."

ViennaCC has a long job experience in IT. He worked as a programmer, project manager, cost calculator, online content manager.

Now producing music, musicvideos, concert reports and interviews, not only for himself but also for bands.

Music - sounds like the Beatles would sound today Indie / Pop / Rock. ViennaCC: "I like beat music from 60s and new wave from 70s and 80s. A very strong influence. One day I asked myself: how yould these bands sound today? When I played a recording someone said, it sounds like the
Beatles would sound today. So I found a good slogan."

ViennaCC's goal is to write and record simple songs that everybody play on acoustic guitar at the fireside as well as a school band or an orchestra.

ViennaCC: "I don't like songs that only consist of rhythm and effects. The song net, without effects and big arrangement,

must be strong. Effects are interesting, but it should be a goodie, an addon, to a song production. For me it is too simple to record a song with guitar band arrangement. A guitar solo can be great played, can sound great, can be virtuoso. But that is not enough. With today's studio techniques I can work on every single note, give it accent, mix it in the background, filter it - and put effects on it. I like it rather overproduced than standard sounding."

And the voice. ViennaCC: "I like chorus singing, two or three voices. Sometimes I like howling. I have this howling in songs like "If You Wanna Dance".

ViennaCC often uses computer effects on guitar solo. ViennaCC: "When Jimi Hendrix came up, what was new in the sound? Well, it was the effects. From feedback to distortion. These effects are well known today. What can be new?

With my IT background I came to computer effects. Why not use it on a guitar solo. So I crush the sound, play reverse tact, hack and resample the sound. That is something interesting."
