Sing, Sing a Song Saturday

Sing, Sing a Song Saturday is all about me discovering something that is different to post. I don't want to post things that you and I have more than likely heard before. I want to find something different. It could be from another country, someone singing from the streets of NY, and more.

This week I'm posting a band that Spotify thought I'd like. The first band that they recommended for me I thought was just ok. The next band sparked something. It's called Whitley.

Whitley was born in Melbourne, Australia. He blends organic acoustic sounds with electronic overtones creating songs with a story.

He used to be in punk bands. He had a realization and was converted to the “songs that made sense” and started listening to traditional country and folk music.

Sing, Sing a Song Saturday

I started doing what I call Sing, Sing a Song Saturday.  I'm going to post one song on Saturdays that the boys or I like. 

The song may be part of a movie, a kid's video or just a song we like. It may or may not include words. I'll try and include why we like it and/or the history of the song/singer.

This week I was looking up Aboriginal art and discovered the Digeridoo. I've heard the Digeridoo played before, but didn't know how it was played. I found a video that demos how to play it. It's one of the worlds oldest wind instruments.

The Didgeridoo is pretty cool I think!

David Hudson is the artist that created the above demo of the Didgeridoo. He plays the Didgeridoo well! I just can't find any great videos showing him play.

I did find a really amazing artist named Xavier Rudd that plays the Didgeridoo and many other things. He looks like a one man band when you watch him play. He's big in Australia, but I've never heard of him here.  

This video is called Bow Down. 

I really like this video called Follow the Sun.
