Bill Murphy Show

On September 29, 2011  Miami-based Forward Motion Records celebrated its 1st Anniversary with a stellar concert showcase at Revolution LIVE.

Mostly though, we listen very closely to the two Sgt. Pepper tracks. Turn it up! Your speakers and headphones will appreciate this! Browse the Andy Timmons website and download the entire album from AmazonMP3 right now!

At age 20, Hunter is already writing material that sounds like it came from someone twice his age! Here he stops by the studio to share a couple of his songs including “I Brought Long Sleeves”, the one that he performed at the most recent Songwriters Showcase at the Broward Center. Hunter was a walk-on in the open mic portion of the evening and was very well received. This material is fresh and completely void of glitzy instrumentation or a band. It’s just Hunter’s voice and tasty acoustic guitar work. Visit Hunter at his bandcamp.com site to hear more and purchase his homemade “The Night Sky” CD. Make sure to ‘like’ him on facebook.com/hunteraltschulmusic so you’ll be up-to-date with Hunter’s coming open mic performances and future progress. There’s sure to be plenty!

When it comes to one love and authentic Jamaican reggae, Junior Marvin is the real deal! Born in Kingston, Jamaica. he was a member of Bob Marley’s Wailers and Toots and the Maytals. He even played the tasty guitar parts on Steve Winwood’s Arc Of A Diver album. His first band was Hanson, from his real name, formed in 1973, many years before the ‘Mmm Bop kids’ were even born! In this spiritually uplifting chat, Junior remembers Master Marley with a fantastic story and shares two songs with us including his latest single, “Where Is Love”.

Using her likeness to Justin Bieber to her fullest advantage, Dani took her talents to America’s Got Talent earlier this year and everything took off from there! Underneath it all is a very talented singer/songwriter with a sweet voice and meaningful relevant songs.

Singer/Songwriter Ava-Mae and guitarist Luis from this Miami-based pop (with a touch of punk) act stop by the studio for some light chat and unplugged love! At 24, Ava-Mae has an impressive solid grip on all of the creation, image, message, networking and forward momentum of Pink Bubblegum. She talks about being a native of Kingston, Jamaica, working her way up as a songwriter, “cleaning it up” for the kids, synergy in marketing, proudly representing the “bubblegum” culture and sprinkles in two sweet acoustic performances!

For several decades equally highly skilled craftsman and guitarist Keith Medley had a vision of an instrument that the music in his head could be reasonably played on. Numerous modifications and 27 strings later, his masterpiece is as beautiful as the pieces he’s composed with it. He chats with me from White House, Tennessee sharing the story behind the instrument and two brilliant tracks from his CD “Ride”. What would normally take several musicians and many overdubs to create, Keith manages in one live take with one instrument!

The South Florida Hip-Hop/Alternative act is carrying on Troy’s legacy and we listen to some of the amazing work that has come out of this effort.
