Karl Vrålstad

 

I am a independent singer songwriter, guitarist from Norway. I am a known artist in the local community in Sandvika a small town outside Oslo Norway. I have concerts in Norway and abroad, sometimes with a band, usually I perform by myself. I sing my own songs and cover songs and likes to operate in genres such as Country, Folk, Blues and Rock.

My first single recorded in studio

"Your Holy Ground " was released 2024 with great success, resulting air playing around the world and it also won the 9th Ldm Music Awards, Country genre. 

 

December 2024 I released my own Christmas song "Ringing for Christmas" resulting airplaying in Norway and in some countries in Europe and USA. 

My heart also lies in the blues/rock genre, so my last single "Lord's Blues" is ready to "hit the road", ready to be launched on all streaming services 3/10-25.

 

This song is recorded in various studios in Norway, with great musicians. 

"Lord's Blues" was written and produced in a way to retain an original feel and power that fits the message of this song, lyrically, visually and emotionally. The song is a tribute to the roots of the blues, while adding a "vintage" and rock touch with a personal expression with a melancholic undertone.

Brass Camel

 

 

New material from a brand new album, after just 8 months after the release of Camel their second album. Which was a very progtastic, venture that the band, felt they needed to get out of their system, only having 6 tracks track`s to be featured. This time the guys hooked up with early Rush producer Terry Brown and Kevin Comeau from Crown Lands, so not at all progtastic!! Of course the guys have a very 70`s funk style about their music and "Ice Cold" the new single is no exception. With a assuming Ice Hockey based video, which although the guys are from Canada, I believe not all the band had skating legs, despite the video footage.

Piper and the Hard Times.

 

 

This Nashville-based blues rock band has had an extraordinary run since winning the 2024 International Blues Challenge for Best Band, but they’ve just made history as the first band in forty years to clinch the "Blues Trifecta" taking home IBC wins for Best Band and best self-produced CD, along with the 2025 Blues Music Award for Best Emerging Artist Album. Their 2024 album 'Revelation' debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart, and they’ve just dropped their second album, 'Good Company,' on August 29.

Piper and the Hard Times are currently on a September and October US tour. Their story has an emotional dimension as well: on June 4, 2025, their lead singer Al "Piper" Green was diagnosed with advanced cancer, but he’s still pouring his heart into performing and connecting with fans. With more than 5,200 engaged followers, their reach is passionate if not massive, and they bring both musical edge and genuine humanity to every interview.

Avalon Stone

 

Avalon Stone is a fierce new voice in rock, rising out of Kitchener, Ontario with a sound soaked in ‘90s grunge and sharpened by modern rock’s heavy punch. Her music is raw, emotional, and loud—built on heavy riffs, cutting vocals, and lyrics that don't flinch. Inspired by legends like Alice In Chains, and with a fresh intensity reminiscent of The Warning and Bad Omens, Stone carves a sound that’s unmistakably her own.

 

Her songs dive deep into the dark corners of the mind, turning struggle into catharsis with lines like *“Only I could drown while in a drought”* and *“Your throat hurts and my cheeks shine.”* Whether tearing through heavy alt-rock anthems or unraveling moments of raw vulnerability, Avalon’s voice carries the weight—and the hope—of someone who’s lived every word she sings.

 

Since stepping onto her first stage at 10 years old, Avalon has played over 300 shows across Ontario and the U.S., from gritty bars to major festivals. Whether she’s opening for The Goo Goo Dolls, Big Wreck, JJ Wilde, or The Beaches, Avalon commands the stage like she was born for it. Her live show feels like a full-body collision with something real—gritty, emotional, loud, and impossible to ignore. Backed by her powerhouse bandmates—Caleb Bourgeois (lead guitar), Dylan Burrett (live bass), Donovan McKinley (studio bass), and Tyler Shea (drums)—she brings an intensity that makes sure no one leaves the room unchanged.

 

Stone’s songs are soaked in emotion without ever losing their edge. Her upcoming debut EP captures this in full force—a blistering, emotionally charged collection produced by Juno Award-winner Kevin Dietz (Glorious Sons, Billy Talent). It's the first chapter of a bigger story—a sound forged in chaos and resilience, shaped by real connection, and built for those who live a little louder, love a little harder, and aren't afraid to face the darkness head-on.

 

This isn’t music for the faint of heart.  

This is your music.

Vancouver's Honeybear, The Band Releases "Unbroken" And Announces Winter Tour

 

 

Honeybear, the Band, the Vancouver-based vintage soul, blues, and roots quartet that music blog B-Side Guys describes as sounding "as if The Teskey Brothers decided to collaborate with the ghost of Muddy Waters," releases their new single "Unbroken" out now. The track serves as a quiet anthem to resilience, blending soul, blues, and pop sensibilities into a message that has resonated far beyond its original intention.

 

"Originally the tune was written as a quiet anthem to resilience, targeted at a friend of ours who was going through a really rough patch and needed some help to see the light at the end of the tunnel," the band explains. "However, this song has ended up being much bigger than us, our friends, and our own situations. Many that we play the song for can think of their own particular situation or relationship where some of this song's energy could have helped, and we are glad to hear their stories and bring it forward."

 

Comprising Ian Beaty on vocals and bass, Colin Brumelle on guitar, Mike Kenney on keyboards, and Tim Watson on drums, Honeybear takes listeners on an old school road trip through the dusty back roads of American music. While the band formed in 2023, the four members are old friends who have been playing together in other formations for over a decade, crossing paths on tours across Canada, down the West Coast, and beyond. As individual performers, they have appeared at most major folk and jazz/blues festivals in Canada.

 

The band's origin story captures the spirit of musical perseverance that defines their sound. When the pandemic struck and live music came to a standstill, the four friends found themselves jamming outdoors in parks, with amps and PA systems hooked up to jerry rigged motorcycle batteries, just to bask in the joy that is playing live music with like minded souls. That creative determination has paid dividends.

 

Their debut FACTOR funded album, self released in June 2025 on their own Playmor label, has received well over 4 million streams on Spotify with approximately 110,000 monthly listeners. The album has been featured on official Spotify Editorial playlists including Nu Blue, New Music Friday, Blues Bar, and Best Blues of 2024. The band is also receiving airplay on CBC, NPR, CKUA, and other indie and co-op radio stations across the globe.

 

Honeybear is fast becoming a festival favorite with appearances at Rifflandia, Barnside Harvest Fest, Vancouver Jazz Festival, Harmony Arts, Wapiti, Starbelly, and many more. Recent packed club shows at some of the country's favorite dive bars including The Horseshoe in Toronto, the Rainbow in Ottawa, and the Ironwood in Calgary have seen the band routinely selling out shows in brand new markets.

The Davidson Trio

 

The Davidson Trio is a hard rocking power trio based in Birmingham and the West Midlands in the UK.

The band is led by Owen Davidon, the bass playing and 5 octave vocalist (formerly with Uli Jon Roth & Rumour).

Guitarist Ben Bicknell was Davidson’s fellow band member in the Glenn Hughes tribute called Black Country Community, while the band is powered by exciting new discovery Ellis Brown on drums.

The band’s debut recording ‘Cougar’, is an old school album given a contemporary makeover, with cracking songs, seamless interplay, bursting solos and Davidson soulful vocals.

*It has already hit #7 on the getreadytorockradio.com weekly chart, and #28 on the IBBA blues chart.

As Owen explains: "This album is a return to my rock-blues and funk roots. I was always into guitarists like Jeff Beck, while in my early career I supported Trapeze, and I always liked the idea of a power trio.

I also was influenced by bass players like Stanley Clarke, Victor Wooten and of course Glenn Hughes. 

So having met Ben and Ellis, I wanted to write the best possible songs in a power trio format.

I'd like to think that with this album we have achieved that."

'Cougar' is a powerhouse rock blues album with sharp riffs, booming solos and catchy hooks.

Antonio Vergara

 

Antonio Vergara has made history by being nominated for the prestigious 2024 GRAMMY® in the Best Contemporary Blues Album category, becoming the first Latin American artist to receive a nomination in this legendary category. The Fury not only reaffirms his place as one of the most relevant artists in the genre but also offers a bold and rich proposal that reimagines contemporary blues with a blend of tradition and experimentation that only an artist of his caliber can achieve. This album stands as a masterpiece that captures the essence of blues while pushing it into exciting new territories. With impeccable production and high-level collaborations, The Fury not only stands out for its technical virtuosity but also for its deep emotional connection and ability to resonate with a broad audience.

Released on August 29 and composed of 13 carefully crafted tracks, The Fury takes listeners on a journey through the deepest roots of blues, while introducing modern and exploratory elements that enrich the sonic experience. Antonio Vergara, renowned for his masterful skills with the electric guitar, lap steel guitar, and resonator, offers a repertoire that feels both intimate and expansive, blending classic influences with a contemporary approach that keeps the genre fresh and relevant.

From the rhythmic intensity of "My Lucky Mojo" to the melodic introspection of "Delta Shine," every song on The Fury is an artistic statement that celebrates the richness of blues. Vergara does not shy away from exploring the emotional complexities of the genre, navigating themes of mysticism, resilience, and rebellion with authenticity that deeply resonates. Tracks like "Superstitions Lead the Way" and "Hoodoo" not only pay homage to the Delta blues traditions but also reinterpret them, presenting them in a new and contemporary light that speaks to the modern listener.

The Bateleurs

 

 

The Bateleurs are back in 2025. "For all to see" is the new single for the upcoming album "A light in the Darkness", scheduled for release later this year. 

 

The band went through a major line-up change, with the departure of the guitarrist Marco Reis and the addition of Ricardo Galrao to fill his role. 

 

Rehearsals and recordings were done in January and February 2025 and the new record is definitely a leap forward on The Bateleurs sound and aesthetics.

 

"For all to see" is a song about the life on the road, playing music, sharing dreams and loving every moment of it. It features two guests, Tiago, Maia on slide guitar and Nuno Louro on Hammond organ.

Guy Snowdon & The Citizens

 

 

Guy Snowdon & The Citizens are an original rock band from Cleveland, Ohio. It is the brainchild of Guy Snowdon, who not only writes, produces, arranges, and performs the Citizens’ material, he also fronts the band with vocals and bass. Snowdon is a transplant from the home of British heavy metal, Birmingham, UK, along with Americans Matthew Schieferstein (Drums), Greg Hido (Guitar) and Tanisha Salary (Backing Vocals). Snowdon grew up in the Midlands of England on a healthy mix of pop, jazz, rock and world music from his parents’ and grandparents’ collections. 

 

In 2016, he found a new musical home in Cleveland, Ohio where he embedded himself into its vibrant music scene and began freelancing as a producer and recording artist. But his ever-growing catalog of original songs were begging to be played by a full band. And thus, Guy Snowdon & The Citizens were born. With The Citizens, he brings a new sound that is infused with his diverse inspirations from the UK like anthemic guitars, heavy metal high notes and Brit pop beats. But he also exploits the talents of the band members he has meticulously chosen to bring his original songwriting from a single-handed, do-it-yourself recording to the live stage.
 

”If You Dare” is an anthem about facing fear head-on, urging its listeners to take risks, trust
themselves, and embrace the unknown as a path to growth. Courage and change only come when we dare to try, even when there is a chance of loss.
