Hometown Music Series – Indianapolis Area
Indianapolis, IN is a city right in the middle of the state with just under 900,000 people. The city is no Nashville, New York City, or Los Angeles. It mostly serves as concert venues for artists on tour who will come for the night, perform, and leave the next day. That being said, downtown Indianapolis…

November Favorites
By Megan Bliek November has been a month of discovery. I discovered a lot of new music and expanded my music taste into jazz–something I never thought would happen. I’m hoping my playlist somewhat makes sense, although I make no promises. Honorable mention this month goes to Lexie Liu’s “delulu,” which I wanted to include,…

sagittarius playlist
Happy Thanksgiving Eve…but more importantly, welcome to Sagittarius season! I think it’s incredibly fitting that this year’s Sag season begins on one of the biggest going-out nights of the year. They’re adventurous, extremely outgoing, and always on the move to find the next best thing to participate in. It seems as if it’s almost like…

separate ways – eyedress ft. the marías
If there’s a particular genre of music I truly devour, it is cosmic-sounding heartbreak songs. I have a deep affection for soulful guitar riffs, twinkling keys and synths, and heart-wrenching lyrics. Finding musical satisfaction in this musical niche has been elusive lately, but Eyedress and The Marías exceeded my expectations with their collaborative single, “Separate…

I Adore You, yebba’s Waterfall
One of my favorite pastimes is watching videos of people tap glitter-filled brushes from a few feet above the camera. The sparkles float down in slow motion, and it looks like you’re entering a portal to another universe. That’s what Yebba’s “Waterfall (I Adore You)” feels like to me. Backed by light percussion, the song…

the idiot by elif bautman the playlist
As someone who is always reading a book or making a playlist, the thought of combining the two comes to fruition constantly. Earlier in the summer, I read a book called “the idiot” by elif bautman and rushed to spotify to find a playlist to fit my time reading the book. To my disappointment there…

October Favorites
October has been good to me so far (despite the overall vibe of this playlist), and I have chosen to highlight some songs I have gotten to see live this month. If you haven’t heard any of these before, I highly recommend. Unfortunately, I do not believe in a coherent playlist, so my apologies to…

under my hands – meredith rounsley
Step aside for this Nashville based artist, Meredith Rounsley. Originally from rural Maryland, Rounsley moved to Nashville to expand her sound as a growing indie-pop musician. Her background of soul, gospel, and radio music marries with her folk and indie pop to create something totally distinctive. She released her first four-track project, Ember, in 2021…

it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Adele!
Adele for me has always been a household name. A name that doesn’t need another. It is simply Adele. With that one name comes a booming voice that is clear and resonant. When VH1 used to do the Top 20 Video Countdown, my nine-year-old self would watch with wonder and awe at the different genres…
