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!

Jayne Sachs Grabs Your Heart & Never Lets Go | Featured Singer-Songwriter / Dayton, OH

Jayne Sachs is the quintessential singer-songwriter. She is deeply rooted in her history. She is emotionally vulnerable, sincere, and relevant to her audience. She is also talented and in touch with both her voice and her instrument. Because of these qualities, she has been a part of and influenced the Dayton music scene and beyond for many years. While she started as a singer-songwriter performing solo on local stages and continues to perform solo, she is often backed by an amazingly talented group of musicians in Steve Van Etten, Scott Shiverdecker, and Kelly Morelock.

Check out the Blazin Hot Talent of Dakota Wright!

So I’ve spent the morning and early part of this lovely day checking out music from our Featured Artist, Dakota Wright, and let me tell you, this young gentleman is a big part of why I decided to do this page!
Dakota is one of our young and uber-talented local musicians from Yellow Springs and totally deserves your support! He has a unique style all his own that he calls “symphonic folk”, and I can’t think of a more apt description of his personal style! Take a few minutes to check out his videos, and I’m pretty sure you’ll agree that this is one crazy talented cat!
Dakota plays guitar, violin, and bass, and he sings with a gentle smooth tone that is sure to please your ears! It would not surprise me one bit if I found out that he plays several other instruments as well, and it definitely didn’t surprise me to find that he has several different musical projects going on! Check out the links below for more info on Dakota, and check him out at an upcoming show!
