Today's Video Share: "Don't Look Back" by Margaret Anne and the Rock It Man

“I am an Australian singer-songwriter. I grew up in a musical family and started playing classical piano as a child before traveling to over seventy countries including the far reaches of “Tibet and Asia, South and North America, Africa, and Europe”.

After the break up of my marriage, I teamed up with the multi-instrumentalist producer and Mythbusters screenwriter, Doug Weaver, to write and produce the Album 'Soul Laid Bare'.

I wrote 'Don't look back' on a sheep station with Australian country artist Shane Nicholson, two months after leaving my very difficult twenty-year marriage.

The video is filmed within five kilometers of my hometown in Australia and includes modern-day footage and also clips from when I was three years old through to the end of the marriage. I hope you like it!”

Today's Video Share: "Katydid" by Marianne Kesler

Marianne Kesler is a singer-songwriter currently living in Dayton OH. She writes mostly in the folk/pop genre.

“Katydid” is a follow-up to her single, “Dragonfly”. In both songs, she borrows characteristics of the insects and applies them in a tongue-in-cheek way to human behavior. So, while the dragonfly is very beautiful, it is also a predator. Katydids are primarily nocturnal, "she disappears all day, then at night came out to play", and the song takes a playful look at a fickle love interest. Do you know what Katydid? Marianne wrote, performed, and recorded, this second of the two songs which she fondly jokes are her "bug collection" ;)

Marianne has five album projects and numerous singles available online for streaming and download sales. Her website is www.mariannekesler.com. When not writing songs, you may find her performing solo acoustic gigs (often outdoors, barefoot) at various venues in the Dayton and Yellow Springs areas.

Today's Video Share: "Embers" by Daniela Galasso

The idea for this music video came up when I was vacationing in Tahoe with friends. I played “Embers” for my friends in the cabin we were staying at, and after that weekend, I couldn’t help but imagine shooting a music video in the winter in the woods. I produced and directed this video DIY with my partner, who helped with the technical parts of shooting and editing. I did my own storyboarding and we rented an Airbnb in Twain Harte, CA as our "set", where we shot everything in two days. This was my first music video and I was very camera-shy. Before shooting, I even contemplated making an abstract video where my face wouldn’t really be featured much (haha, yeah right). Fortunately, after some warm-up takes, I got much more comfortable with the camera, and I'm super proud of the result! “Embers” is the third single off my upcoming EP, which features honest, heartfelt songs that capture beauty in vulnerability.

Today's Video Share: "Dreaming Peacefully" by Drea Lake

One of the things that has always made Canadian music unique is the fact that many artists have close relationships with the environment. The inherent intertwining of the beauty of the natural world with the creation of unforgettable lyrics and melodies will always shape Canadian culture, and singer/songwriter Drea Lake is directly connected to that tradition. Drea Lake’s “Dreaming Peacefully” is the kind of song that casts a spell, putting Drea in the realm of other artists with that rare ability, such as Joni Mitchell and Bruce Cockburn. The only drawback is that it will leave you clamoring for more, so prepare to be transported. Splitting her time between Montreal and the rustic town of Elora, Ontario, north of Guelph, Drea is poised to release her third single, “Dreaming Peacefully,” following up her previous offerings, “Bird In Your Window” and “Disappear With Me,” which established her as a dynamic new voice within the Canadian pop/folk music scene over the past two years.

Today's Video Share: "To the One" by Jan Shaw

This song began with the Columbine tragedy in mind. Its verses came out of true stories reported on national news. Though five more tragedies were written about, many more mass killings have occurred in the U.S. since then. "To The One" is a tribute to all of those affected. Please offer your prayers to those still dealing with it and to those forever committed to changing the reasons it happened.
