I Won't Look Back - Kissing The Flint

I Won't Look Back is a honky tonk number written by Australian singer-songwriter Leah Chynoweth-Tidy aka Kissing The Flint.  A song about a girl taking back control of her love life and telling her man she's walking down the road if he doesn't start to treat her right!  Official Music video was funded through the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) in Queensland, Australia - it was filmed by Wezzy Cruze and released in 2019 and can be enjoyed on Kissing The Flint's Youtube channel.

Shaun Martin - 'Light in Dark Places'

Super talented Shaun Martin brings his mid-century 'modern' jazz rhythms to the 2020's, with the help of Mike "Blaque Dynamite" Mitchell and Matthew Ramsey.  Love this new track 'Light in Dark Places' which includes his clever use of synth keyboards.#shaunmartin #lightindarkplaces #mikemitchell #blaquedynamite #matthewramsey #jazz #modernjazz #jeeni #music #musicians #independent  #electronicmusic #keyboards #synthmusic #singersongwriter  #musicfest #community #talent #unsigned #creatives #fans #superfans
