“Anything Goes” by Andrew Kerhoulas of Brother K
This song was written over a stretch during the pandemic. Not long after the initial riff found its way under my fingers, a phrase came along “anything goes if you push it hard enough.” Now, I like double entendres as much as the next guy, but this one stuck out […]
“The Man in the Heavens” – Behind the Song by Chris Godley
“The Man In the Heavens” is one of the tracks off my new record, “Part of You.” I wrote it following conversations with a former coworker, Alina (name changed for this article) who is a 2nd-generation immigrant from eastern Europe. Alina and her family attend a Slavic Pentecostal church. Slavic […]

The music that I create is based, completely, on real experiences, real feelings and thoughts, or real experiences of others. It is authentic whether accepted or not. With my new single, “Motivation”, I have based this song on personal experience and thoughts. Pondering on something to write about, one night, […]
“Starting Here” by Ruthie Larbi
The beginning of a new year can bring a fresh start, renewed hope, and great expectations for what’s to come. This is what I initially thought when writing the final song for my EP, “Starting Here.” I decided to release the song on the first day of 2023, thinking it […]
