“Music is Art. Art is for everyone. Everywhere. It's the human-language of emotion. It's there to connect us across large distances-- time, borders, cultures, beliefs and all that. The only price of admission is an appetite for wonder. I want my music to make you feel like you felt the last time you broke the rules and it was the right thing to do.”…

“It’s so important that we preserve and spread blues music because it has such raw emotion behind it. Its origins came from a dark time in history that we can never repeat. Every word that those original blues musicians sang came from truth and heartache. As well, every form of modern music has some relation to the blues.”…

“I think that the music is rooted in real southern culture. The bands that again “keep it reel“ are able to pull from their own experiences and translate that to a musical message that transcends and cuts through the noise of the world.”

Darrell Whitt: The Axe of Preacher Stone…

“The biggest fear for us is how quickly music is changing, how much the way we consume music has changed. Streaming is such a big part of people’s lives that it is a necessary evil for artists these days, but I really hope we can compensate people fairly for their art before music becomes devalued so much that it doesn’t mean anything. That would be such a shame.”…

“However, I prioritize soul – technique is only a tool for expressing emotions and feelings. I don't focus on correctness and consistency; I'm interested in developing and discovering new possibilities for the instrument as my means of expression.”

Krzysztof Toczko (pARTyzant):…

“Music today sounds very generic. Many artists sound the same—they might be "trendy" now, but they’ll be irrelevant in a few years. For me, the music from the '60s and '70s always carries a sense of urgency and feeling that remains timeless.”

Leif de Leeuw: The Blues Rock…

“I think the energy that Rock n Roll has is very unique and it could never die, that’s why a lot of young people fell in love with it even nowadays.”

"To me the music was, and it is still the art, and not something to waste my brain with substances or ideology. Perhaps I can be characterized as a progressive lefty, but that's all BS to me."

"I think the blues taps into the human psyche. The blues appeals to the very basic emotions that we all experience and, you know, rock music is directly connected to the blues but with a much more prominent rhythm component that we cannot help but move to, respond physically. I mean, when you think about it the first music made by humans was banging two rocks together, it was pure rhythm."

"The impact of music is very, very high in our society and always has been since antiquity. We have seen it and continue to see it."

Iadora’s Journey is a four-piece band founded in 2021 by Paolo Zardo (guitar and vocals), Anna Pavan (vocals), Alessandro Scolz (bass synth, keyboards and…

"What I miss most from the music of the past are the pure, raw emotions. The music back then had a way of capturing you, making you feel something deeply every time you listened, just like the first time. There was an authenticity and soul in the sound that’s hard to replicate today."

"Στην μουσική βιομηχανία, για κάποιους λόγους κάνεις πράγματα πολύ δύσκολα, αλλά αξίζει, είδες κάναμε νέο άλμπουμ περνώντας μέσα από δύσκολες καταστάσεις μέχρι να γίνει, αλλά στο τέλος αξίζουν όλα. Η μουσική είναι η γλώσσα του σύμπαντος!"

"Southern rock takes all the best of the American roots music forms and cooks it all down to one flavor. So, depending on the listeners music taste & knowledge you can start to pick up on all the different influences. I can’t think of any other genres that can encompass that many styles. It’s a passing down of our culture and makes you feel like you’re part of something."

OTIS: Kentucky Grown…

"Southern rock n’ roll music touches people. People relate to the stories. It makes them want to have a good time, it makes them remember, and it helps them to forget. It’s honest and powerful and that’s what we write about."

Preacher Stone: Pure Southern Rock

US southern rock n’ rollers Preacher Stone released their butt kicking good time new…

"I miss that noble combination of sounds and silences with references and meanings. Today, most music makers donʼt even know what silence is… Music of the past would provide a spectrum of positive vibes and hope for the future. Todayʼs mainstream, with a few exceptions, sounds like an insult when not ‘causing disgust down to not caring for the future of humankind."

"I think music in many ways puts you more closely in touch with your inner self. Music is really a very emotional thing, and being involved in music, whether in its creation, or listening as a fan of music puts you in closer contact with your higher self. That produces profound change in our lives."

Ray: Angelic Music Shines Like The Sun…

"Blues is in a sense the seed from which most the other modern genres grew out of. I think often people are sometimes tribal in the music they listen to, but I think many people grow out of that, and I’m hopeful for a reemergence of blues rock music, or more likely, a “new style” that is a reinvention of blues."

Until the Sun: Blues Rock Enchantment…

"I think it's very important to have a healthy mix of technique and feeling. I feel like rock guitar leans more towards technical proficiency and blues tends to focus more on feeling and less technique. The problem with either approach is that too much technical proficiency can often start to sound a little too mathematical or academic and relying completely on feeling and ignoring technique can often sound boring and can be too stale or…

"When Rock n’ Roll became popular, we started to let our hair down and enjoy life and the music. People were stiff and formal until Rock n’ Roll moved them. The world changed when it happened."

"I think the biggest thing I miss is the way radio approached new music. Many stations were owned locally, so their favorite bands from the area plus get airplay and make a living playing original music. My hope is that the younger players see the beauty of keeping the music real. By that I mean not relying on technology more than talent. My biggest fear is the other end of that spectrum!!!"
