A Family of Songwriters | Artist: Darden | Songs: "The Moon" LIVE!, "Happy and Sad"

01/17/23 • 26 min

I have been a big fan of the band DARDEN for a long time. You’ll find them to be the real deal. Authentic, honest and in it for the music as it connects to other people.

Darden is a 5-piece family band, consisting of 3 sisters. Clara on guitar and vocals, Havi on mandolin and vocals, Tabbi on bass and vocals. Two brothers - Josiah on drums and Noah on keys.
Enjoy the live-in studio session of their song "The Moon" and the delightful and engaging song "Happy and Sad", played in it's entirety.

The Making of an Album | Artist: Jim Rojas | Song: "Jimmy's Here"

Send us a text

This week I’m happy to bring you the music of Jim Rojas (jimrojas.net) and the song "Jimmy's Here". I guarantee that his new Latin album called “Can you Play Latin?” making its landfall at the top of 2023 (March 10, 2023) will put a smile on your face and a mark on the musical landscape for years to come.

The full album is highlighted by great songwriting, on every cut, and an overall stellar production of original songs brought together by some of the biggest and brightest Latin musicians in the business.

I wanted to sit down with Jim and his producer Joey, to discuss the making of the albums first single appropriately entitled “Jimmy’s Here”. Delivered with a level of passion and heart, I wanted to know how the song was written, the story behind the arrangement and how they managed to capture Jim’s fun personality in the playful and catchy melody of the song.
