The Highly-Anticipated Debut Album, ‘Maybe Sometimes’, Is Almost Here! | Kyleen Downes – Singer-Songwriter – Dayton, OH

It was spring of 2015, at Sideshow X, when I first heard the friendly, sweet voice of local singer-songwriter, Kyleen Downes, and now, coming up in July 2016, she’s preparing for the release of her highly-anticipated debut album, ‘Maybe Sometimes’! 

Her voice floated above the crowds on that day and found its way into my brain like a cool breeze, and since that show, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her perform a number of times and watched her grow as a performer and artist!

SINGLES, SHOWS AND SPECIALS ON RECORD STORE DAY

Record stores – especially independently owned and operated ones – have become increasingly rare within the past decade. Dayton alone lost one locally owned record store after another in the 2000s, including favorites like Dingleberry’s, Renaissance Music Media, Gem City Records, Trader Vic’s and several others. But fortunes for mom and pop record stores have turned around in the past several years due to the resurgence of vinyl – y’know, those 12- and 7-inch round things people used to play at home on these things called turntables. With that changing of the tide, brick and mortar record stores are making a comeback – thanks to rabid dedication of record collectors who love their fuzzy warbles, both new and old.

If it’s dope, it’s dope – Obelo brings hip-hop to Peach’s in Yellow Springs| Dayton City Paper

…excerpt…

I’m sitting in the Peach’s parking lot as the temperature approaches negative digits. Even though I’m in a car with the heat cranked, I’m starting to lose feeling in my toes. It’s damn near midnight, and after chatting for nearly an hour, I’m about to get a full-on private hip-hop concert.

My first contact with local rapper Obelo (pronounced Oh-Bee-Lo) came through social media, which is rare for interviews like this. Usually, I exchange a series of emails with a publicist or manager, I eventually get a phone number with a time to call and have about 10-15 minutes to pull out a few quotes. I understand why things happen like this, but there’s a lot to be said for sitting in the same room with someone – looking them in the eye to see beyond the mythmaking.

He turns on his car, and Led Zeppelin blasts from the speakers. He told me earlier that he’s been on a Zep binge lately. He plugs his phone into his stereo and asks me what I want to hear. I tell him I trust his judgment and to just hit me with the best he’s got.

Gin-Soaked & Ready To Go!

Straight out of Yellow Springs, OH, I’d like to introduce you to Gin-Soaked Angels–  “Electricoustic multi-instrumental Soul Rock four-piece with panache and class out the wazoo”
These guys started less than a year ago, but they’ve been working their way around the Dayton area and paying their musician dues!  While they don’t currently have any shows booked, rest assured, they’ll be playing a venue near you soon!   These multi-talented young musicians are cool cats and play their own brand of original music as well as some tribute songs and aren’t afraid to rock out at your local music venue or coffee shop!  They just wanna play some good tunes and have some good times with you!

I got to check out some of their live videos today, and I can’t wait for these cats to have some professional recording

completed that will really emphasize and clarify their unique sound and style!  Silky smooth, jazzy bluesy leads… groovy bass and percussion beats, and soulful vocals are what you’ll get every time from these guys!
