In the music industry today, it’s becoming harder and harder to stand out from the crowd. With millions of people pursuing a music career, it’s become nearly impossible to prove yourself different from the rest. But Justin Branam has managed to do just that.

Justin has recently put together an EP that was recorded on his iPhone, perfectly titled, “iPhone Sessions.” And not only did Justin record his EP on his iPhone but he has also shot live videos and created the album’s artwork.

The EP will be available exclusively through Kickstarter, a new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors. Kickstarter allows artists to raise money to fund a new record, but they can only receive the money if their project is fully funded. By donating money, you are helping Justin get into the recording studio, but there are some incentives for you, too. Some of them include a copy of Justin’s latest EP, handwritten lyrics, and even a private concert in your living room.

Currently Justin is trying to raise $3,000. So, go over to Kickstarter and see how you can help.

I am still floating on a nostalgic musical cloud after experiencing the 68 year old legendary Beatle, Paul McCartney, rocking the Bridgestone Arena in an amazing 3 hour show.  Paul played well over 30 Beatles, Wings and solo hits, and there were more than a few highlights during the night. The unforgettable moments for me were hearing four simply incredible songs “Let It Be” on the grand piano, “Something” on a ukulele, “Yesterday” on acoustic guitar, and the people of Music City singing along to “Hey Jude.”

Paul closed the show the way the Beatles closed their career.
“And, in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.”

Thanks for a great show Paul!
