Listening Lyrics Friday Dec 13, 2013 with Justin Carson

Mon, 12/09/2013 - 7:28pm | Pieter Pastoor

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.
