Sinopsis

Hey everyone and welcome to control room sounds. My name is Casey Combest and I'll be the host of the show. My hope for this show is that it will showcase artists and bands who are writing original music. I really want to blur the lines between performance and dialogue. As in, if I'm doing my job right there will be seamless transitions between the stories about the songs/lines from songs, and the performance. I'm a producer and engineer at Blue Sky Studios in Jackson, MS. Seriously appreciate you listening.

Episodios

  • S2E2 Sam Mooney

    18/10/2017 Duración: 14min

    At only twenty-one years old, Sam Mooney has already become a #1-selling iTunes Singer/Songwriter, performed from Los Angeles to Boston, and won the nation’s largest amateur youth talent competition. His soulful brand of pop music has earned critical and commercial success and has drawn comparisons to artists such as John Mayer, Eric Hutchinson, Maroon 5, and Andy Grammer. Born and raised as one of seven children in Brookhaven, Mississippi, Mooney was greatly influenced by the music of his home region. His CD collection as a child consisted primarily of early R&B pioneers such as Ray Charles, Dr. John, B.B. King and more. The influence of these artists can still be heard in Mooney’s distinctively soulful vocals and piano playing. Mooney started playing the piano at eight years old and began writing songs as a teen. He started off writing instrumental blues piano jams, but as his exposure to the wider world of music continued to grow, he began to write songs in almost every genre.

    Folk pop, singer-songstress McKenzie Lockhart is happy to have both feet back in her native Alabama soil after trying her hand at pursuing music in Nashville, TN. And more than that, elated to be releasing her most authentic project to date. Raised in the storied Shoals of northern Alabama, Lockhart began to feel that her homeland was beckoning her to return from Nashville as she began to experience a longing for home grown community and a greater space to explore her own creativity. So, she packed up her things, hugged the necks of her friends in Music City, and headed south with this new purpose filling up her horizon. After moving back to Florence where she currently resides, she took the time to dig deep into her roots and invest in her local music community by establishing a house show movement called CO-OP. During this this time, Lockhart found her voice afresh and decided to channel her new sound into her first proper EP Interlaced. The writing, recording, and release of Interlaced is truly a collabo
