Ian Bamberger - The River

Hailing from New York City, NY, Ian Bamberger is a Singer/Songwriter with a penchant for writing infectious tunes and relatable narratives. Inspired by internationally acclaimed artists like Allman Brothers, Sublime, Van Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and James Brown, Bamberger’s music journey began at the tender age of 12 where he started playing guitar and writing music. Being an avid storyteller, Bamberger is greatly influenced by real life, drawing inspiration for his music from personal experiences, allowing him to invoke strong emotions in people. Apart from invoking emotions, Ian Bamberger also seems to have a unique innate competency to ingeniously present music in multiple styles, all while maintaining a consistent brand, one of the factors that make this artist one to keep an eye out for. With big dreams and plenty of energy to spare, Ian Bamberger seeks to positively influence society with his music.

On January 14th, he released his latest single "The River". I personally love the passion with which Ian sings and plays guitar in a pretty unique way, creating harmonies and riffs that will push you to move and dance and cheer your heart up. This single really showcases these qualities and his talent in writing songs that are able to put a light in the darkest of the days!

About this song, Ian Bamberger says: "I wrote "The River" to capture a moment and feeling that permeated throughout my life during the pandemic. The past few years have enabled me to dig further into my songwriting and musicianship. As a result, my upcoming album, Headaches & Heartaches came to life. For me, "The River" acts as a musical reminder to stay present and not get distracted with life’s hyper desensitized digital drama. Hopefully it will give listeners the same reprieve! The instrumental work on the track contains energetic guitar harmonies reminiscent of my biggest influences i.e Duane Allman and Jerry Garcia! "The River" is the second single off of my upcoming album Headaches & Headaches. Headaches & Heartaches was recorded at Lakehouse Studios in Asbury Park NJ and engineered by Nick Semanchik. On drums is Dr. Bill Grillo and Brian Gearty on bass. Thank you to my beautiful wife Katherine Geithman for singing backing vocals on the whole album!"

"The River"

I spent the day (the day the day)
looking out my window again
Watching the tide (the tide the tide) run by the riverside
Oh I want to be like the River, it flows
Gentle and smooth
and nobody knows
The River like I do
That’s why it’s home
I think I found (I found I found)
The perfect place to lay my head
and think about(about about) all the things you said
Oh I want to be like the River, it flows
Gentle and smooth
and nobody knows
The River like I do
That’s why it’s home
Oh I want to be like the River, it flows
Gentle and smooth
and nobody knows
The River like I do
Oh the river like I do
That’s why it’s home
That’s why it’s home
That’s why it’s….

Older country, folk and rock'n'roll vibes in the upcoming album by Drew Kiddoo and the Blackouts

Drew Kiddoo and the Blackouts Drew Kiddoo And The Blackouts is a honky tonk country band based out of Ithaca , NY. Their unique blend of traditional country western, folk, and early rock and roll has captivated audiences across the region since they formed in 2018. Drew's songwriting is the heart and soul of the band. He writes from personal experience, and his lyrics are infused with love, whiskey, the open road, and that old "crying over an empty glass of booze" style of melancholy. The Blackouts are a misfit collage of local musicians who bring Drew's songs to life with that boot stompin', barn-burnin' energy. The album "Giddyup and Go" will be released on June 14th, in accordance with the release party set for the same date at The Range in Ithaca, next to Cornell University. I had the opportunity to listen to the full lenght album in advance, and I can't wait to share my personal take on it! "Giddyup and Go" is a collection of song

Vintz Desert Vintz Desert is an indie folk singer-songwriter located in Maryland. While serving in the Marine Corps, Vintz fine-tuned his craft and discovered his voice and passion for telling stories and sharing emotions through song. He released his debut EP "Through the smoke; a liar" when he was still in the middle of his military contract and didn't know anything about music industry. The EP features his top streaming song "Love in Boston". Then he relocated to the east coast where he opened up for folk rock band Oliver Hazard. He can be described as "beautifully melancholic" and focuses on direct relatable stories. His soft-spoken and raspy voice transfers his pain and experiences from him to his audience, and enters into a symbiotic relationship with them.  He just released his latest EP "The Blue Journal" on May 20th, an introspective and soft jouney through his feelings. His music has been mind-blowing for me since the very first

Going out the comfort zone with Mariano Mallia's new single "The Search For More"

Mariano Mallia Singer/songwriter Mariano Mallia is a familiar face for those who have followed my blog for awhile. I talked about his inspiring and challenging story when he released his debut single "Don't Change" , after a vocal injury that stopped him from making music for years (you can read here ).  Mariano Mallia, who spent childhood summers visiting family members in Italy, says that it was in Italy that his passion for music was first born.  From those times, Mallia developed a deep appreciation for music, and ultimately decided to devote his life to music. However, the young singer’s pursuit was put to a halt in December of 2018 when he suddenly lost his voice. We talked further about his journey and the challenges he had to face when I interviewed him on YouTube (see here ). Despite the difficulties, Mariano refused to give up on his dream of pursuing music. Since the beginning of 2023, he has consistently released one single each month, putting hard work, musi
