A Summer at the National Guitar Workshop
By Raanan Geberer, As a young adult in my late 20s and 30s, I rarely went on vacations. Maybe this was a reaction to the way I had to move around earlier—I went to college in upstate New York, then graduate school in Boston, then had a job in San Francisco that didn’t work out, and finally another job in Indianapolis before returning home to New York City. I just wanted to relax.

Why I Love Reason 10
I have been involved with music for most of my life. I took up piano at age eight and practiced my butt off until my mother purchased my first budget keyboard. It was a tiny Casio VL-1, but you would have thought she’d bought me a Korg Triton. I hammered out every melody I could until she was satisfied of my seriousness. Then I graduated to the MT-68 LOL. Ah, memories.

"Take Me Back to Sleep"—Frankie Beetlestone (Official Video)
Frankie is an upcoming singer/ songwriter, he has a long list of original songs on their way to being released. With a number of music videos for each song and a whole future to come. "Take Me Back to Sleep" is Frankie Beetlestone's first single he has ever released. Frankie has been in the performing arts ever since he was a kid performing in a number of musicals all around the UK. Frankie then became a teen, and with it came all the consequences of being a teen, his inner rebellious attitude started to blossom and it gave him the "rockstar" feel he has when you are around him or even talk to him. Frankie started writing music at a very young age and he doesn't seem to be slowing down at the still youthful age of 18 years old, he composes his own music, he plays both guitar and piano to an extremely high level and can mess around with practically any other instrument, always in a very Frankie manner. His songs are a mix between his inspirations from famous UK artists such as The Beatles or even Oasis, who truly inspire Frankie's attitudes towards the ideas of following orders, and the new Indie music from artists such as Rex Orange County and Mac de Marco. Frankie is one of those people that you know is gonna do well in this industry as soon as you get to exchange a couple of words with him, and it is because of this everyone who meets him will tell you, if this is the first time you've heard about Frankie it definitely won't this won't be the last.

"Nobody Likes You When You're 23": Music That Is Defining This Stage of My Life
From what I've seen, reaching 23-years-old is really a defining point of growing up. My boyfriend on his 23rd, had a bit of a quarter life crisis. I can see within myself that, I too am coming to a turning point in my life. I'm realising that I can either start pushing for what I want, or settle comfortably into a dull and boring life. I'm finally starting to understand what I want, and I'm gaining all the motivation to reach those goals.

How Is Music Bettering Your Life?
There's a musician that once said, "You could sing a song to 85,000 people and 85,000 people will sing it back to you for 85,000 different reasons." That's always left a mark with me because it's so true. Music can mean so much to so many; it can remind you of the days you spent with friends, the day you get married, your parents, your children, and so much can be felt by the mingling of notes, chords, and melodies. It's really rather amazing when you think about it.

Rising to the Stars
This small town group out of Texas is starting to shake-up the surrounding states and their major cities. Formed in 2012, this prominent and talented band has started to turn the heads of some bigger names that could send them sky-rocketing into fame. If you're able to ever catch this group performing in, close to, or around your town. You'll have to hurry-out! You need to see them for yourself to see what the rave is all about. They mainly play a big variety of classic rock songs. The only difference is they twist-up some of the songs and add their style. Which, they do very well. They also have their original songs that are coming out soon in their new album. Marked to be released some time within the next year of 2020. If you could hear the crowds go crazy with the cover songs they do? You should hear the crowds just lose it when they kick off an original song.
