Kristian Montgomery is a self-made singer/songwriter now calling Vermont home.  His credo is that "songwriting is an artform and not propaganda."  Crossing genres and song styles while weaving his lyrics from personal experience, he creates music as memorable as it is listenable.  Listening to his music and story, you want to dig out his previous music to experience.


Pam Ross is an award-winning songwriter who has also carved her own path to success.  After falling of the merry-go-round of music a few years ago, leaving the business to re-asses where she was going, she has come roaring back with the song "Fallin Off The Merry Go Round," dealing with the plague of school shootings and the belief tht we are failing our children.


We also share "She's On Fire" by the Portland OR group, Strange Ranger!  Listen to TheDavidBowersAwards FREE anytime.  And please, share the link to your friends so they can listen, too.

Tom Tikka is a previous TDBA winner and joins us to preview his brand new album "Rainbows and Dead Flowers."  Despite the seemingly paradoxical title, the album chronicles various stages of life and relationships with songs that run the gamut from infatuation to desertion and aftermath.  Along the way, he shares the sadness that the thing that could be our greatest resource can turn out to be the greatest source of pain.  TUNEDLOUD calls him "genius" 

In this preview, Tom shares the meaning of the title song as well as snippets of the emotions behind several of the songs from this powerful and genre-spanning collection of his songs .... you hear rock, pop, alternative ... even world and ethnic influences.   He also shares some of the writing, producing and presentation motivations which led him to produce this collection of very personal musical emotions.  Before it's finished, you'll want to hear the entire album!

Listen anytime, and please be sure to re-post the link for your friends so they can listen, too.
