This Valentine’s Day singer-songwriter Dillon Hodges will release his debut single “Bullet For A Broken Heart”, as well as “Feel Good Inc.”, a unique cover of the Gorillaz lead single from their second studio album Demon Days. Dillon hopes his folk version of their popular song will open people up to his brand of Old-Time music.
“I think I can get Old-Time music to people who would never in a million year listen to it,” says Hodges.
Hodges’ song depicts the story of a love affair gone wrong, leading one to commit double homicide. Although the storyline is dark, Hodges’ fresh approach with old-time music is sure to make listeners feel good.
Unlike the character in his song, Hodges plans to spend this Valentine’s Day with his fiancé Elise. In addition to getting married soon, this ambitious 20-something plans to graduate from college and launch his debut album Rumspringa by the end of the year. Dillon hopes to reach new audiences with his blend of pop, folk, and bluegrass, and catch the ears of longtime listeners of roots music.
Dillon’s guitar playing ability has already attracted much attention in the bluegrass community, even winning him endorsements from the likes of Benedetto Guitars and DHR Music. Bob Workman of Gibson Guitars was quoted as saying,
“He’s in a very select group of young musicians.”

Our buddy Butch Walker, who's been on Current TV a few times before, has a new album of his own (he's often better known writing and producing for others).
I Liked It Better When You Had No Heart is out on February 23. It's wry, clever and catchy, with an occasional edge to it that's all the more refreshing for how the self-awareness creeps in, laconically, to the songwritery vibe of the album. (I particularly like "Pretty Melody," in which he claims—rhyming with the title, of course—that he's "just another tattooed tragedy.")
Here's an exclusive clip of Butch talking about and performing "Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home" acoustic:
If that's too sweet for you, be sure to check this album promo in the form of a short film. Panic! at the Disco's Brendon Urie plays himself, and/or a superfan who's paid $25,000 for the chance to spend a weekend at Butch's. Both singers are far better actors than I'd have imagined, particularly when it comes to a deadpan, creepy American Psycho homage.
I Liked It Better When You Had No Heart is available for pre-order from One Haven Music.

Brett Gleason's debut video 'I Am Not' combines the low end crunch and electronica of industrial music with a piano based, singer/songwriter style, garnering him comparisons to such diverse artists as Trent Reznor, Tori Amos, Amanda Palmer and Antony Hegarty. Part horror movie, part personal journey of self destructive assertion, 'I Am Not' is both inspiring and disturbing. Shot in a dark and damp New England forest on a cold December night, Brett Gleason's debut video is intriguing and unforgettable, much like the release itself.
'I Am Not' is the first single off of Brett's release, 'The Dissonance' Available on itunes with FREE MP3's at: www.brettgleason.comBrett Gleason's debut video 'I Am Not' combines the low end crunch and... more

Causecast Music recently interviewed award-winning songwriter and frequent collaborator to fellow Mouseketeer alumnae, Matt Morris who recently discussed Haiti, what he's doing to help, and how people unite in the face of tragedy.
“Everyone who’s not in that place right now, everyone who’s not in Haiti, suffering through this, is experiencing by default, a kind of privilege. And so the question’s not whether it’s good or bad that we have that privilege, it’s what do we do within that privilege.”
