Back to the Basics

I'm going to try and re direct these articles back to the original all Canadian performers it should be.

So we'll start it off fresh with Mark Minelli.
Mark is the newest addition to the Candy rat records team, and for the most part is quite different than what they have to offer. Rather than being a "different" guitar focused performer. He is a solo singer/songwriter, with a rather unique voice. I hate to make this comparison, but his musical style is somewhat like Jason Mraz. His melodies are nice, poppy, easy to listen to, and yet complex in their theoretical breakdown.

With this song as pointed out by someone in the comments he is using a Minor I, Major Fifth, Minor II, Minor I pattern and using a G# major as his Major fifth which is different, but really well suited to the song. Which I realize that that probably means nothing.


Second from further east is Stephen fearing
Stephen has been around for quite a while and is a really good writer. Here you go, I don't want to talk anymore.
