THE GRUS – NEST

Released via FOLLYPHONE RECORDS

The Grus is North-West Russian duo Alexandra Zhuraleva and Simon Gendor, who together embrace dramatic reverberations for this skillfully imbues cosmic drum ‘n' bass meets intense trip hop sound.

The Grus' creative pedigree stems from their desire to be both distinguished and creative. While their debut album Nest encompasses so many sounds and influences, it works surprisingly well.

Although The Grus have already taken the Russian music scene outside of its pre-existing comfort zone, there's no plans of stopping yet, and this latest piece is testimony.

Fascinated by music that makes people feel like they're going crazy, The Grus hope their debut album will give their currently simmering career a much needed boost.

Listeners are bound to question their sanity while progressing from the pounding vibes and trippy wordplay on tracks like "God Is In The Rain", while tracks like the sizzling "So Glad I'm Here" shows a softer side to the album. Overall the duo offers something incredibly different, an adept sound, from two talented musicians who refuse to conform.

Hip Hop Artist Nadiel Releases Kid Flash Produced Single, "Broken Love Song"

American hip hop artist Nadiel has released a new single "Broken Love Song", produced by Kid Flash and featuring Chris Carter, who has previously worked with artists such as Backstreet Boys, J. Holiday, and Jasmine Trias. Highlighting Nadiel's unique and emotionally-driven style, the lyrics deal with desperation over memories of past love, images that do not leave but keep coming out as songs. The song is available here: http://www.nadielofficial.com/bls

The hi-hat rich song helps drive the heartfelt lyrics. According to Nadiel, the lyrics contain several metaphors that illustrate how ultimately all other temptations to numb the pain are second to the memories both cherished and obsessed over in the song.

Nadiel's music is heavily inspired by personal hardships and psychological turmoil he has faced in his life. Despite his lyrics dealing with complex emotions and dark themes, they're seamlessly paired with flowing tracks and more light-hearted musings. Nadiel is currently working on completing his debut album Move.

It's A "Glory"ous Day For David St. Romain

On October 23rd DSR Entertainment will release David St. Romain's first album of new material in 2 years, GLORY. David will be available for phone interviews prior to and following its release.

David will celebrate the launch with an album release party on Friday, October 23rd at Hollywood Casino in Baton Rouge, LA with a live performance at Center Stage. Doors open at 8pm and concert begins at 9pm. Tickets are $20 at the door and includes a copy of the newly released CD.

David continues to delight audiences with his talent and vocal range. With the release of his previous two successful albums, David has proven he is so versatile, people just can't pigeon-hole this amazing voice. Whether he's singing country, or rock, or R&B, David connects with his audience because he delivers every song with passion and heart.

The next stop on David's musical journey is GLORY, a passionate and soul-searching collection of songs that will establish David as the king of Blue Eyed Soul. GLORY is a musical journey that incorporates all the music that has influenced him over the years.

"This record is the next step to finding my true sound. A mixture of soul, country, and rock & roll is what you'll hear when you're listening and I'm hoping to capture a new broader audience that will appreciate the music that comes from my heart" says St. Romain.

David's early influences ranged from pop and rock, such as Boys II Men and Metallica. Van Morrison's Tupelo Honey, along with great singers from all genres like Ray Charles and Travis Tritt gave David a wide scope in his musical direction.

Glory's inception came in the spring of 2014 with the completion of DSR Entertainment's studio in Baton Rouge. "Being able to record my own band in my own studio allowed me full artistic control. That type of satisfaction only comes when you create the music that truly resonates in your heart" explains St. Romain. His previously released material includes the self-produced EP, "Dealing with the Man" (2013) and two full-length albums, "DSR" and "All I Really Wanted to Say."

The first single to drop from the album will be "Glory," co-written with Tommy Tutone, who also performed the huge 1982 pop hit single, "867-5309/Jenny."

The album will release on David's own DSR Entertainment record label, and will be available on Amazon, iTunes, as well as others. Fans can pre-order the album on iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/glory/id1048825394

Master Class #2: Rhythm & Groove
Sunday, November 8th - 4:00-4:50 PM

This participatory master class will demonstrate and examine some less common rhythms, through the songs of The Jessica Stuart Few, while leading master class participants to create interesting and unusual grooves of their own.

Master Class #3: Harmony & Melody
Sunday, November 8th - 5:00-5:50 PM
The melody of a song usually gets treated as the star of the show, but what about the harmony surrounding it? This master class will give a new perspective on harmony, using the music of The Jessica Stuart Few to show how chords supporting a melody can change the sentiment of a song, and participants will be led to use their voices to create beautiful layers of harmony on the spot.

Internationally-touring indie folk-jazz power trio, The Jessica Stuart Few has one of the freshest sounds around. The band's sophomore album, Two Sides to Every Story, was released to critical acclaim, winning the 2014 international Independent Music Award (IMA) for 'Best Album' and dubbed, 'endlessly charismatic', by The Globe and Mail's Brad Wheeler. While on tour throughout North America, Asia, Europe and Australia, the band remains in regular rotation on Bravo! TV and CBC Radio while topping campus radio charts, and appearing on commercial airwaves in Japan, hitting #85 on the Tokio Top 100 and #38 on FM North Wave.

Jessica's unprecedented take on the Japanese koto (13-stringed harp), her exceptional guitar work, and signature songwriting are innovative and refreshing, earning them main stage performances at festivals worldwide.
