Music in its purest form should be inspirational, exciting and life changing. I really believe that today’s independent music is poised to experience growth in spite of the challenges the music industry faces. Throughout history, heartfelt music didn’t depend on external sources to fuel it. Creativity and improvisation can only be produced by inspiration and the soul of an artist or a band.

Kristyn Leigh’s sophomore record ‘The Heavy and Holy’ is an amazing composition of youthful music and classic church hymnals, sure to be a delight to listeners of any age range. Kristyn’s love for singing the old church hymns and passion for rock n roll led her to combine the two with her sultry voice. Kristyn grew up singing hymns in her church and it was no doubt that she could sing Christian contemporary music. But, when she started high school, a new possibility opened up for her.

Red Umbrella, Parry Sound, Ontario’s home-grown sons, has an inviting sound that has incorporated many influences.

Cincinnati’s Redline has some extraordinary music. Guitarist Kenny, Drummer Davey, Bassist Jason, and Rhythm Guitarist JR all provide music that will put you at ease, provoke thought, push you past your comfort zone, and remind you of God. The focal point of the band, I believe, is Vocalist and Pianist Jessica. Her piano is angelic, and her vocals powerful and heart-felt. She truly is amazing.
