Butterflies Radio IndieViews Artist Spotlight, featuring Josh Damigo - 8/26/13

On this week's Butterflies Radio IndieViews Artist Spotlight, I talk to San Diego indie/singer/songwriter Josh Damigo. Josh heads out on his third U.S. tour August 30th, departing from his "house venue" - LeStat's West in San Diego. That is also where the tour will end. All the songs from the show are from Josh's album, 'Hope.'

We discuss the upcoming tour, the best breakfast food in the country and the embattled Mayor of San Diego. We also talk about the Butterflies Radio Staff visit to see Josh perform at LeStat's back in February, where he took us to the best burrito dealer in town and we left in a literal hail storm.

Butterflies Radio IndieViews Artist Spotlight, featuring The Como Brothers - 8/19/13

On tonight's episode of The Butterflies Radio IndieViews Artist Spotlight, New York's Como Brothers (just one brother - Andrew) are my guest(s).

Andrew talks about recently graduating from Providence College in Rhode Island, his brother and singing partner, Matt and their upcoming performance at The Long Island Music Festival. You can catch them at Mulcahy's on August 23, 2013.

The Como Brothers are two of the hardest working indie artists in the industry, frequently interacting with fans on Twitter, Facebook and other forms of social media.

We also play two new songs, Straight Face and Late Nights off their upcoming full-length album, Baby Steps, which will be released October 1.

Butterflies Radio IndieViews Artist Spotlight, featuring Satellite Mind - 8/12/13

Tonight's show features Christian Dyer, lead singer for Satellite Mind out of Tucson, Arizona. I discovered Satellite Mind via Reverbnation when I was doing A & R for Butterflies Radio earlier this year. I loved their song, 'Cool Like You' so much that I downloaded it to my iTunes right after I heard it for the first time.

Although tonight's show was extended by 15 minutes, there were still things that didn't make it on the show.

Christian talked about how therapeautic songwriting is for him, saying he is Happy-Go-Lucky on the outside but can explore his Dark inside when writing. He also told me how challenging it can be writing darker, more introspective songs when he lives in a place where the sun always shines.

Butterflies Radio IndieViews Artist Spotlight, featuring The Paper Cranes - 8/5/13

The Paper Cranes are a six person folk band from Auckland, New Zealand. I interviewed Fraser and Naomi, who started The Paper Cranes as a duo before it evolved into the full band. Their 8 month old son dropped in for the interview and Naomi, who grew up in Japan, was sweet enough to play the Shakuhachi (Japanese flute) during the interview. I learned a lot about Japanese and New Zealand culture and music during the show.

I think you will find their folk music dreamy and relaxing and you will be hypnotized by the Shakuhachi.
