My Favorite Albums of 2016
This year saw the release of the 6th Jimmy NaNa album, Reflections. You can find out where to get it on the MERCH page. On to the favorites… I waited until February this year, since I normally discover some gems from the previous year after the new year has begun. 2016, in my opinion, made…

My Favorite Albums of 2015

My Favorite Albums of 2014
At this point it may make more sense to start listing my favorite songs of each year since the amount of albums that are worth listening to all the way through (and more than once) continues to diminish. But here goes, anyway. 1. Jimmy NaNa – The Path Now Chosen: As you may know, my…

Fundraising Incentives & The Music Industry

Spot-i-fy
How many of you use Spotify? I do, and I think it’s a great concept. You can stream an ever increasing amount of songs, an unlimited amount of times, for free. And the selection is good, like really good. It has almost any band you can think of, and then some. Sure you won’t get…

Cover Up, It’s Getting Cold Again
So, of recent, I stumbled upon a musician named Andy Rehfeldt who does covers of popular songs. But he doesn’t just cover them, he completely changes the style and vibe of the songs. If it is a heavy song, he’ll create a jazz or country tune out of it. If it’s a pop song he’ll…
