‘San Diego’ Feels Like Summer

“Genre-blending” artist Volz is back in collaboration with Flower in Bloom for their latest track, ‘San Diego’.

Though completely self-taught, Volz has loved and been passionate about music since a young age. His lack of formal instruction makes his sound totally fresh and his own. This is also due in part to his diverse influences– they vary from Paramore, the 1975, and Quincy Jones to Kid Cudi, Dave Grohl, Alicia Keys, Timbaland, and Barry White. Though his background is not formal, his talent is natural, and his skill was developed through years of discipline and intense study.

Flower in Bloom describes herself as an alternative R&B because of her ever-changing, mutable style– she just makes the music “that feels right to her.” Since her 2019 debut, she has released two EPs and a number of singles, making her mark on the music world.

‘San Diego’ is a refreshing summer track full of contagious positive energy that makes you want to dance. The bubbly, easy sound gives the track a vibrant air, emphasized by the use of guitars and strings.

‘San Digeo’ is the perfect track to play with the windows rolled down on a long, summer car ride. The colorful, bright track feels like a cool drink on a hot day.

Fans of Felly or Healy should check out this track. Find this and more excellent music on the Alchemical Records Multigenre Mixture playlist on Spotify

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
