We recently had the amazing opportunity to check out the debut album “Shadow Work” from Nashville based , Louisville,Kentucky raised singer-songwriter Sam Varga .

You can listen to “Shadow Work” Here

We don’t like to beat around the bush on The Whole Kameese so, we are going to come right out and say it… The debut album “Shadow Work” from Sam Varga features 11 high quality brilliantly written songs . When you hit play you get 36 minutes of absolute musical nirvana.

Right from note one on “Shadow Work” Sam Varga draws you in with smart , witty lyrics and addictive melodies. “Never Better” is a cleverly written song that we found ourselves mindlessly singing the chorus throughout our day. “Up Down” has a power punk feel. Sam Varga’s impressive vocals are on full display on “Up Down”

Sam Varga shows a stroke of song writing genius with “Alive” The Meg Ryan “When Harry Met Sally “ reference is simply amazing!

One of our favorites on “Shadow Work” is “Jim Carey” Varga carefully delivers an absolutely stunningly beautifully written song . ( We were literally hanging on every word )

In our book Sam Varga gets extra credit on “Shadow Work” for including a song with a Harry Potter reference. “Horcrux” is simply otherworldly.

If we had to pick a favorite song ( which on a record this good , is so hard to do ) We would have to go with “Stories We Tell” it is a beautifully written sonically and melodically pleasing song . “Stories We Tell” played out like a diary entry, authentic,personal- perfect !

If music is your thing , then you owe it to yourself to check out “Shadow Work “ from Sam Varga.

We recently had the delightful opportunity to check the brand new single “Silver Lining “ from Boston based power pop band Speedfossil. You can listen “Silver Lining “ on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here

Speed-fossil is the creation of singer/songwriter Garret Vandermolen.

The new single “Silver Lining” is an absolute gem . We found ourselves singing along, almost instantly. The opening guitar riff has almost a feeling of an announcement of royal importance.

The vocal performance on “Silver Lining is flawless. “Silver Lining” from Speedfossil is one of the songs that will steal your music loving heart and become your new favorite song ,you just don’t know it yet .

Perhaps, the reason we felt the song had a royal tone to is because, the band went to Liverpool earlier in the month to perform at the International Pop Overthrow and ended up recording this track while in London at the famous Abbey Road Studios

Do yourself a favor and check out “Silver Lining” from Speedfossil, you will be glad you did.

We started The Whole Kameese back in 2020 as a way to keep busy during the pandemic. We are so lucky to have worked with so many wonderful artists, promoters and other music professionals. We were also so blessed to be able to share so much amazing music . We have made the difficult decision to put the blog on the back burner. At this time we need to focus on other important matters. We do not know how long we will be away but, we will return. We thank all of you for your support
