Listening Lyrics Friday Dec 13, 2013 with Justin Carson

What does an artist do when talent begs to be unleashed? The answer to that question will be explored as Listening Lyrics talks with Justin Carson.

Justin Carson, also known as XPiRiMiNT, is a Davis local. Music has been a big part of his life as far back as he can remember. At the age of 15, he decided to pick up on the guitar after playing Rockband. The game was fun, but a real guitar might be “more rewarding” so he has stuck with the guitar ever since. A few months later, he was introduced to the computer side of music production. The struggle to get a band together turned him to the computer and other instruments he decided to learn to play himself.

Listening Lyrics Dec 6, 2013 with SPANGLER

Spangler hit the scene in 2011 first as a duo with multi instrumentalist singer songwriters Tim and Helen Spangler. The band started to produce indie pop rock songs with a range of sensibilities from folk funk to quirky alt. Their catchy tunes worked well for the Sacramento bar scene as well as smaller house gatherings and tasting rooms. The band really hit its stride with the addition of Chris Reilly Reilly on percussion/drums/vocals and Adam Estell on bass and vocals. Spangler is currently cranking out gritty indie rock with their new single "Lock Me Up" to pair with their folk ballads.

Listening Lyrics with Mick Flannery - this Friday

It is not every week we have an international renowned singer/songwriter - BUT _ this week we do.

Mick Flannery was brought up on a farm outside Blarney, Co. Cork, Ireland. His first real connection to music was watching an unplugged Nirvana coveringBowie’s “The Man Who Sold the World”. After a stint in a music college in Cork, he travelled to the U.S. where he “wandered around for a time.” While there, he entered the U.S. Songwriting Competition in Nashville, Tennessee and, to his surprise, won two top awards for his compositions.

Mick has a couple of top 10 singles in Europe and is in California for ONLY two shows (SF and Davis) before heading back to Ireland.

Catch him live Friday Nov. 15 in Davis at THIRD SPACE
