Cricket Joe is Shaun Carr, a singer/songwriter from Philadelphia. He composes unique melodies paired with intricate guitar work and has a lot to say about the local music scene. Check him out!
Madi Diaz, a Pennsylvania native now an LA transplant, has released an upbeat new single that is a sampling of what we can expect from her upcoming album, Phantom. The new material, due out this September, is a definite evolution from her folky roots; she has shed all vestiges of the acoustic sound for something more solid and mature. Be sure to check out her new album, which has been described as a danceable breakup record.
