Insider tip for all our hipster readers...
New York City is filled with some of the most talented artists around the globe. Whether walking through the streets circling Union Square, or paying for a high price ticket at Madison Square Garden - Music is the heart beat of New York City.
That being said, it would come as a surprise that I find myself listening to a band coming from....
Tuscon, Arizona.
On December 29th - several of my girl friends and I found ourselves at their show at Pianos.
Pianos has always been known to house some of the best up and coming talent in NYC. Bands such as The Cold War Kids, Clap your hands say yeah, and Passion Pit ... have all called Pianos home.
We arrived around 8pm, just in time to catch Rescue Lights perform. The first song they performed was full of energy and quickly won over the crowd. Lead singer Corey Ferrugia jumped back and forth from piano to guitar, keeping the crowd on their toes.
One girl in the crowd said "Wow, they are really good... they just went from a ballad to rock song just like that. No big deal."
Rescue Lights has influences from bands such as:
One Republic, The Script, Augustana, The Fray, John Mayer, James Morrison, Maroon5, Jason Mraz, Coldplay, and John Legend.
However, their sound remains to be unique and captivating.
During the show, the band announced the release of their new album "One More Try." After the show, the band members came out for a fun night in the city. They shared with us their plans to move to New York in August and teach children music through their business called MyTown Music.

I highly suggest checking out their album and telling me what you think. You can hear parts of the entire album on their website.
I believe that you will enjoy their album so much that I am giving ONE DIGITAL COPY away to one of the readers*. Just tell me which song is your favorite and why.

Hi Jessie, I just found your blog and was scrolling through past posts when I found this one. I absolutely LOVE this music! I really, really love his voice too!! Although I enjoyed every single one of the songs, I think my favorite would be 'Can't Stop'. I just love the beat and the drums and the guitar. Thanks for the introduction to this new band!
