New Single from LEO37 - Icarus

Hey Readers,

I want to thank you for being so fly, firstly. Thank you!

Speaking of fly, Icarus is one of two brand new songs from LEO37, Toronto's worldly and ethereal emcee. The new single starts off with a sunny, funky jazz groove that sandwiches the second verse, backed by a bumping hip hop break provided by the live instrumentalists in The Worst Pop Band Ever. The song's lyrical and musical high is followed by an abrupt descent back into the main melody lead by more fat bass lines and mellow syncopated organ. This joint is a class act as it reads sort of like a sonnet and is themed after the ironic flight of one mythological Icarus, the young adventurist whose waxen wings melted when he flew to close to the sun.

Scoop both Icarus and Morning for free at LEO37's site.

I don't expect LEO37's wings to be melting anytime soon as he is about to embark on The Clipped Wings Tour which kicks off May 7th in Windsor at Phog Lounge with performances from LEO, Magnolius, Detroit's USM and Flow & Smooth.

Check out the Icarus promo vid:


And the original art ...


Don't miss LEO37 live in your backyard on tour, starting May 7 in Windsor.

FAM FESTIVAL Makes Top 40 List for Best Music Festival in Canada!

Hello readers!

Let's celebrate! If you recall, Harvesting the F.A.M. Festival 2009 was a great success. It succeeded in bringing the community together for a great 3-day party filled with over 100 LOCAL collaborators in the name of Film, Art and Music (that's why we call it F.A.M.). Lots of connections and friendships were made. Murad (the festival's creator) and I worked our little tails off to make it happen with a hugely supportive tech crew, volunteer pool, appreciative audiences and top shelf performers, artists and filmmakers.

That was back in October. However, just last week, some very cool members of our tiny community (thanks Dan, Merry Ellen and Dave!) put us up as nominee for host Grant Lawrence and CBC Radio 3's Searchlight Contest for the Best Music Festival in Canada. Wow!!

Remember when Phog Lounge won the CBC Radio 3 Searchlight Contest for Best Live Music Venue in Canada?

Do you remember voting every day for weeks to see our little hometown stage get the praise it deserves? And then the giant summertime event "Phog Phest" with East Coast headliners Holy Fuck!? That was one of my favourite events of last year, a wonderful celebration that featured locals as well as nationally recognized musicians. Phog Lounge and our little downtown community is STILL buzzing from that high.

Guess what guys - we're not just 'chasing the dragon.' Murad and I have been Tweeting, Facebooking, phoning and emailing people about this amazing opportunity to get Windsor on the map ONCE AGAIN as a community that cares for and nurtures its creative class and maintain our reputation as a creative destination for great art and music.

Check out the great local music from FAM artists we have posted on our profile at the CBC Radio 3 website! This is a great way to get national attention to our local folk! I'm really excited about it! Can you tell?!

Join the Facebook Group for a daily reminder to vote for the FAM Fest. Tell your friends! You can also follow me and the FAM Fest on Twitter for reminders to vote!
