Courtney King: Debut Album “Feel Good Swiller”

by Kimberly Shires

Courtney King is a recent transplant to the Washington, D.C. music scene, and we’re damn glad to have her. “Feel Good Swiller” is Courtney King’s debut album featuring an indie alt rock fusion of both current and classic sounds. King draws her influence from artists such as Paramore, Joan Jett, Jack White, Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys and P.J. Harvey. We get extra credit with this artist. Not only is King a burgeoning singer/songwriter, she is a hell of a rock flute player. King has a Master’s degree in Music, and in her previous life she toured with the Air Force Band. Take a listen to “Feel Good Swiller”. No regrets.

aSanTIS: ‘You Are a Part of the Highest Form of Creation’

Flow-bending artist aSanTIS discusses art, culture, and whether sound can solve the world’s problems in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.
My interview with Amy Santis aka aSanTIS began in the most unexpected way. The Maryland-based flow-bending artist and lyrical storyteller came prepared to engage in conversation around questions I had posed – and she also brought one or two of her own thoughtful prompts based on her curiosities around my view of learning.

This practice of taking in her surroundings deeply through observation and inquiry has come naturally to aSanTIS ever since she was a young child. In terms of her early starts in music, she notes that she began as a discerning listener. “Just listening to music from my mom, on the radio, just being a consumer in the world of sound. But I think mainly, my mom has always loved dancing and listening to music, so that was sort of like second nature. We play music at gatherings, we play music in the car, and these songs are sort of like diaries that take us into a specific place.”
