https://www.melodicmag.com/2023/11/22/musical-collective-mvi-joins-forces-with-guitar-virtuoso-mark-vickness-for-the-genre-defying-in-the-rain-shadow/ Mark Vickness, the virtuoso behind Progressive Acoustic Guitar, introduces his latest instrumental endeavor in collaboration with the musical collective MVI (Mark Vickness Interconnected). The album, titled “In The Rain Shadow,” is a dynamic and conceptually rich musical journey that showcases intricate instrumentation and themes inspired by the natural world. The genesis of “In The Rain Shadow” can be traced back to Vickness’s move to the high desert of California’s Owens Valley in late 2020. Living in the literal rain shadow—a meteorological term denoting an area on the sheltered side of a mountain range with reduced precipitation due to wind patterns—served as the catalyst for most of the album’s tracks. The compositions draw inspiration from daily encounters with geological and meteorological features, offering a musical reflection on the newfound wonder of residing in the rain shadow, described as a mix of humility, awe, peace, thrill, tranquility, and beauty.

If you're into stripped-down, atmospheric music that gets you in the feels, this one's for you.
"Still I Wait" is a beautiful folk-pop tune by Swedish singer Anna Leone. The song is all about waiting for someone to come back into your life and feeling unsure about whether they ever will. Anna's voice is really emotive and the acoustic guitar is simple but effective. The lyrics are super relatable and talk about patience, hope and longing for connection.
“What day is it?(with Ellie)” I just did an hour radio show with Jene Galvin, sitting in for Jerry Springer, on the Jerry & Jene Folk Hour. It airs regularly on Sundays @ 9 AM on WMKV —89.3 FM https://wmkvfm.org/ and this particular show will air on Sunday morning 4/16/2023. 9AM (Recorded @AmbientStudios.org) Leo Coffee House (Queen City Balladeers) was a hot topic- (hotter than I understood it would be and so represented the best I could on the fly without my facts at hand:) I gave shout-outs to workshops, the Leo format, plus the website address and a muddled jamboroo of the street address! Jene played three of my songs—two new ones and the title track to Be A Girl Again— and plugged me AND Leo Coffee House. He asked about the Queen City Balladeers reunion, which of course I knew nothing about... so could give no intel! I just want to get the word out about this great Sunday morning show! This is a great resource. Jene knows a lot about 60s folk music--the players, the history, the times-- and he and Jerry are old friends and very funny together! I think the music would be something anyone who loves 60s folk music would be into!
