Blackbird Anthem is a Southern Rock band from the heartland of Florida. Their music is a blend of southern rock, outlaw country, and blues. Fronted by lead singer/songwriter Adam Martin, Blackbird Anthem’s songs are tales of love, loss, regrets, and redemption. A U.S. Army combat veteran, Adam taught himself to play guitar after returning home from Iraq. A few years later, he began writing songs and performing locally. He formed Blackbird Anthem with David Bruce and later added Cody Owens on drums. Their debut EP, Stories I’ve Never Told, was released in early 2016 and is available worldwide across multiple digital media platforms including iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify. Their debut single, Come Kiss Me was featured on the syndicated radio program “The Iceman Show” and their music is in normal rotation on HV Rebel Country Radio as well as many other internet radio stations. As both a solo artist and with his band, Adam has performed throughout Florida and southeast Texas. Notable stages include Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge in Nashville, TN and House of Blues in Orlando, FL. Blackbird Anthem has opened for several national touring artists and played at multiple music festivals in Florida and Texas including CountryFlo, Texas Frog Fest, Vetfest, Texas Aggie Vetfest, Delandapalooza, and more. Blackbird Anthem is also a finalist in the Runaway Country Music Fest Artist Search 2017. They have recorded with all-star musicians Darin Favorite (lead guitarist for Tracy Lawrence), James Cook (bass player for Luke Bryan), Kent Slucher (drummer for Luke Bryan), and Jake Clayton.

In February 2017, Blackbird Anthem released their song 22 as a tribute to the 22 Veterans a day who die by suicide. All proceeds from 22 will be donated to the Lone Survivor Foundation. Blackbird Anthem is on the album “Battle Cry: Songs of America’s Heroes” released by Pacific Records in March 2017. Their song “Tonight We Ride” is featured. Blackbird Anthem has returned to the studio and begun work on their full-length album, Southern Ground.

LM 17-08 Under the Piano with Craig Addy

for the LOVE of Music, with Nathen Aswell and his guest Craig Addy, on air from February 21st 

craig-addy

Craig is a member of the Amicus Music Duo, the Quiet hearts Ensemble and the founder and creative director of Under the Piano.

Canadian pianist and composer Craig Addy’s training in music was very traditional. From an early age, he studied classical piano, music theory and history. By his mid-twenties, he had two music degrees: One from the University of British Columbia and one from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. However, during all of those years of disciplined studies, Craig was secretly exploring another world of music……the world of improvisation. Craig’s style of improvisation is a unique blend of classical, new age, and popular. His improvisations are created in the moment with no predetermined harmonies, rhythms or melodies.

Under thePiano

Today, Craig has developed his improvising into a unique experience called Under the Piano. Clients lie underneath Craig’s grand piano. Under the Piano is a Sound Spa for Body, Mind and Soul. For 45 minutes the vibrations of the improvised music envelope and massage the individual or couple under the piano. The experience is most frequently described as calming, relaxing, magical and meditative.

Amicus Music Duo

Vancouver’s Amicus Music Duo features Craig Addy on the piano and Howard Meadows on the clarinet. Their repertoire includes music from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and 20th Century eras in addition to a growing list of original compositions, and improvisations. The Amicus Music Duo adapts and arranges much of their music.  Craig and Howard met while studying music at UBC and sang together in the award-winning University Singers. A shared love for vocal and choral music strongly influences their approach to performing and their repertoire selections.

Quiet Hearts Ensemble

Founded in June 2013, Quiet Hearts Ensemble has been providing one of Vancouver’s most exquisite and unique experiences with their Music Oasis series at St. Andrew’s-Wesley United Church. Music Oasis is an intimate and relaxing musical occasion that is like a holiday away from everyday pressures. The Quiet Hearts Ensemble improvises, or rather spontaneously composes, beautiful music in one of Vancouver’s most stunning cathedral acoustics. Listeners are transported, moved and inspired by enchanting flavours of music embracing classical, new age, jazz, folk and world styles. It’s romantic. It’s meditative. It’s soothing. Listeners rave that they “can’t believe” these musical journeys are composed on the spot.
