Recently, music has influenced me a lot in life, considering that I've spent a lot of money on concert tickets and festivals in the past few years. But let me tell you -- it's totally worth it. Instead of spending my money on alcohol, I'd rather spend it on concerts. Here's who I've been trying to get concert tickets for because they're worthy of my money. So I hope you enjoy their music! Thanks Spotify for allowing me to discover these artists on your weekly playlists.
1. Jack Garratt
Jack Garratt is a London-based singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He combines many kinds of instruments in his music such as guitar, drums, and keyboards. One of his most well-known song "Surprise Yourself" appears in the movie "Me Before You," and I definitely recommend you check that movie out too. I had the opportunity to see him live at Firefly Music Festival; his performance was surprisingly one of a kind!
2. Lucy Dacus
Lucy Dacus is a singer and songwriter from Richmond, Virginia. Her music genre might go under indie rock. Richmond label Egghunt Records took interests in her music, but Dacus signed with Matador Records and reissued "No Burden." Sadly, I haven't gotten the opportunity to see her perform live, but hopefully I'll be able to one day.
3. Ta-Ku (Regan Matthews)
Apart from being in love with his photographs, I must say his music is pretty good! I just recently started listening to his music, and "Love Somebody" is one of my favorite ones. Regan Matthews, maybe known as Ta-Ku, is an Australian musician, producer and photographer. In May 2015, Ta-ku was a Youth Speaker at TEDxSydney. Matthews is also a co-founder of Weston's Barbershop in Northbridge, Perth. He produces great ambiance music.
4. Stephen
Stephen is an American electronic music artist, singer-songwriter, and producer based in SilverLake, California. He is known for his song "Crossfire" and his cover of Adele's song "Hello." He is also known for making a collaboration with Pell and Caleborate, "In the Morning". Great music to listen while working out!
5. Bon Iver
Bon Iver is an American indie folk band founded in 2007 by Justin Vernon. Vernon released Bon Iver's debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago independently in July 2007. He won the 2012 Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Album Bon Iver, Bon Iver. He's going to be in NYC for the three nights in December, and I'm really hoping I'll get to see him perform. *fingers crossed*6. Vancouver Sleep Clinic
Australia's Vancouver Sleep Clinic is the solo project of ambient, electronic singer, and songwriter Tim Bettinson. In 2013, he uploaded the song "Vapour" online, where it caught on, drawing thousands of plays. I'm going to see them open for Daughter in Orlando, Florida this November and I can't wait to listen to them live.Now, it's time for you to go search for these artists on you Spotify or Apple Music and enjoy their music! There are many more artists I could mention because the possibilities are infinite. Many of them only perform in the UK or Australia, and it breaks my heart that they never come to Florida. Therefore, if you know any bands from Australia or UK actually coming to Florida, please let me be the first person to know!
