Check out Winslow, one of RadioIndy's favorite Pop artists

RadioIndy is pleased to present Winslow with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Crazy Kind of love"

"Crazy Kind of love" By Winslow is a fantastic mix of pop,rock and funk that is a true breath of fresh air, as it is truly innovative and against the norm. The album starts off with the stellar track "Breakdown." Good choice in leading off the CD. As soon as you pop this bad boy in, Winslow hits you with a funky slap bass line that assures you that Winslow isn't some generic rock band. "Control" is the standout track on the album and is very rememinencent of bands like Maroon 5 and Red Hot chili Peppers. The bass work on this album is amazing. as well as the horn section. The combination of the two really make this album jump into drive. The album is chock full of great musicianship from every member and is real treat for anyone looking to get away from the norm and lose yourself in the grooves. Be sure to check this one out regardless of what kind of music you are into, as it has a special quality that appeals to many genres. If you are a fan of funked out bass licks and high energy grooves, get ready to bug out with Winslow.

Check out Bo Blider, one of RadioIndy's favorite Rock artists

RadioIndy is pleased to present Bo Blider with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Moon in the Afternoon"

"Moon in the Afternoon" is a guitar-driven pop rock album from talented singer/songwriter Bo Blider and the Bo Blider Band. In crafting his sound, Blider draws from a number of genres, from '70s rock to blues to folk to reggae to '90s pop. The result is twelve timeless tracks with poppy lyrics, catchy choruses, and a great melodic sound. The Bo Blider Band's arrangements are tight and skillfully done, with great guitar work, including great acoustic progressions, electric solos, and funky basslines. Blider clearly draws from his experience in John Lennon and The Beatles tribute bands for both his sound and vocal performances. As a result, he sounds similar to Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Billy Joel. "Moon in the Afternoon" also has a great production quality and a clean, polished sound. "Chit Chat Chum" begins with a great guitar lick that quickly becomes the underlying rhythm of the entire song, coupled with quirky and memorable lyrics. "Shame On You" is a finger-snapping blues track with great piano, bass, and guitar arrangements and more great lyrics. "Moon in the Afternoon" is an album that really puts Bo Blider on display as a talented, true-to-his-roots singer/songwriter. Fans of Beatles-influenced '70s rock fused with '90s pop, check out the Bo Blider Band.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Ron McManaman with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Under The Blues Sky"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Ron McManaman with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Under The Blues Sky"

If you are looking for that old Chicago blues sound than "Under The Blues Sky" the latest CD by Ron McManaman should be next on your album shopping list. McManaman's vocals really stand out as they have that gritty and lazy John Lee Hooker style to them. His lyrics also speak a certain sadness and truth to the listener's ears (you can tell this guy has been around for a long time). "Ain't Gonna Change My Heart" oozes that classic Fender Stratocaster blues tone and features some tasty but not too flashy guitar work by McManaman. The artist also stays true to the Chicago blues with "Sitting Under the Blues Sky" a song Muddy Waters or Willie Dixon would have been proud to call their own. The disc has raw and from-the-gut production giving it an authentic blues sound.

RadioIndy is pleased to present KC Williams with a GrIndie Award for the CD "The Best of KC Williams"

RadioIndy is pleased to present KC Williams with a GrIndie Award for the CD "The Best of KC Williams"

KC Williams has released his latest CD "The Best of KC Williams" featuring a fine collection of his best work. Well rooted in the world of country music, Williams is a stand out performer and has played with some of the finest musicians in this genre. The "The Best of KC Williams" highlights his most notable tracks including songs like "1-800 I'm a Fool" or "Beauty's in the Eye of the Beerholder" and "Honky Tonk Hilton." All of these numbers captures the classic country ambiance and hilarious amusing titles to go with them. Williams brings everything down a notch, with a sweet ballad perfect for any Tim McGraw fan. Another song worth mentioning is "Without you (I'm Just an Ordinary Man)" for it has some excellent pedal steel guitar playing. The album isn't entitled the "Best Of" for no reason; it's the best of what Williams has to offer and then some.
