To me, the video has a distinctive feature, which is that nothing happens. You don’t arrive anywhere, right?” ~ Jackson Browne. More information at Hemifran.

Steve Yanek – Long Overdue

From the opening guitar riff and Jeff Pevar’s melodic slide guitar, Steve Yanek’s new single “Long Overdue” immediately puts the listener on familiar ground. Reminiscent of the Lowell George era Little Feat and Jackson Browne’s rockier side, this song has the upbeat hopefulness of love finally coming together after a long pursuit. The title track to Yanek’s upcoming album which is slated for an August 5th, 2022, release, this song also features an amazing piano part by the late T Lavitz, in what could be one of the last studio performances of Dixie Dregs renowned keyboardist.

Su Andersson – Brave

“I found that other artists I reached out to where as keen to connect as I was. Its amazing really”, Su observes, “There are people around the corner if you’re willing to go there, and are brave enough to make that step, and say hello”. As a musical celebration of humanity’s capacity and need for connection, for community, for togetherness, “Brave” does precisely that, whilst celebrating a whole lot more.
