Seek Refuge With the New Single, “Gentle Healing” | Singer-Songwriter / Dave Bremner – California / Scotland

The new single, “Gentle Healing,” by Shine On Records artist and Scotland-born singer-songwriter, Dave Bremner, is the perfect remedy when you’re seeking refuge from the battering of life’s storms.

The overall message of “Gentle Healing” seems to be about how nature, time, and love can provide a sense of clarity and relative perspective about your life in ways that nothing else can. Supporting and reinforcing the lyrical message, the folksy rhythms and melodies are uplifting and lighthearted.  Touches of electric guitar are tastefully layered alongside a simpler acoustic guitar rhythm that is the heart of the track, and there is a dreamy, almost lazy, quality to “Gentle Healing” that brings together the music and the message really cohesively. This is a subtle, but extremely powerful, characteristic that helps place “Gentle Healing” a cut above others in this genre. 

When in need of some “Gentle Healing,” you’ll definitely want to have this new single by Dave Bremner close at hand!  Get your copy today at the link below!

Will C.’s, “The Weatherman” Brings His Light & Soul to Yellow Springs, OH | Featured Singer-Songwriter

From the opening notes of “Rainin’ Sunshine” right through to the end of “The Experience”, singer-songwriter Will Cook’s new solo album, “The Weatherman”, warms the soul and calms the storms of the mind.

The album is full of clear, bright melodies of acoustic guitar fronted by Will’s rich and soulful vocal stylings.  His lyrics are chock full of hope and love, and they ring true in a world too often filled with hate. It’s not all sunshine and roses, though.  “The Weatherman” brings us the rainy days, too, but with a cleansing, healing, and reflective look that keeps things in perspective and always aims to look on the bright side. Go get this album and soak it up if you’re need of some serene and feel-good jams!
