Singer/songwriter Mike Clifford has a new independent EPentitled “Day Dreamer.” The five songs are all acoustic based with some DaveMatthews-type songwriting as in “Come On Back To Me.” There is a frailty to hisvoice as displayed in “Next To You,” but it only adds to the overall appeal ofhis songwriting. The most complete sounding song on this EP is “Secret Heart”as the harmonizing and simple beat give this song an outdoor, campfire feel.
Mike Clifford has a show scheduled for September 15 at TheLiving Room In New York City. For information on his new release and for songsamples, please visit mikecliffordmusic.com.
Pennsylvania singer/songwriter Eric Reitz recently releasedhis second album “Sinister Love.” The album begins with the up-tempo, pop-rockof “Everybody’s Dressing Up” and “Sinister Love,” before Eric dives into theblues on “Two Shots.” He as a slight roughness to his voice that makes hisvocals sound very mature and weathered. The album reaches its pinnacle with thealbum’s first single “City Lights” as he masterfully combines the music and themelody of the song. The album closes with the acoustic, heartfelt ballad “Breaking.”
Eric Reitz has about a dozen live dates scheduled in NewYork, North Carolina and Virginia. Please visit ericreitz.com for a completelist of shows and for more information on the new album.
