David Dunn Provides A Dose of Reality - Frequency.FM

Let’s agree to finish up August on a high note, shall we?  We had the opportunity to sit down with BEC recording artist David Dunn regarding his latest release, Crystal Clear.   In the midst of having some laughs and learning about the album (which has spawned hit singles in “Have Everything” and “Today Is Beautiful”, David opens up about a number of topics and shares his perspective on the reality behind seeking fame, coping with depression, and the illusion of success via “reality TV” as a contestant on The Voice. Other notes: * Yes, we are fans of StudioOne.  That’s probably a discussion for a future podcast, but if you’re in the market for a new DAW, we encourage you to check it out. * We recently published some new Amp’d interviews with photographer Dawn Camp and with Shane Whalen of the International Songwriting Competition (ISC).  Both well worth your download. * More interviews are forthcoming.  Look for new conversations with Canadian songwriter Brad Guldemond and with Elias Dummer of The City Harmonic. * As you heard, the good folks at CCLI hosted Brothers McClurg and Joe for a redo of the truncated February interview.  Look for it in the coming weeks.  Much better results, we promise… * Comments and reviews are always appreciated.  Links to iTunes are provided below. * US: https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/frequency.fm/id599474294?mt=2; * Canada: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/frequency.fm/id599474294?mt=2  ## Quick Links for David Dunn: * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/daviddunnmusic * Twitter: https://twitter.com/davidtdunn * Website: http://www.daviddunnmusic.com/ Quick Links for Frequency: * Frequency on Twitter * Frequency on Facebook * Frequency on Google+ * Dan on Twitter, Google+, Facebook * Joe on Twitter, Google+

AMPD 12 – Shane Whalen of International Songwriting Competition - Frequency.FM

Hey there.  You non-songwriters will forgive us this little indulgence.  For our latest Amp’d interview, we asked Shane Whalen from the International Songwriting Competition to hang out with us a bit.  Why is that?  Well, we like what they do and the way that they do it.  Yes, the prizes are pretty great, but it’s really more about their philosophy about artist growth and a focus on excellence.  Shane shares about the history of the competition, his own experience as a participant, and why artists need to stick their neck out occasionally. Other Notes: * As you likely heard when listening to the episode, we’re giving away a free entry to this year’s ISC. * We love artists from all mediums, as evidenced by our most recent interviews with songwriter Josh Wilson and photographer Dawn Camp.  Queue them up now. * New interviews are coming soon, including with recording artist David Dunn and Canadian songwriter Brad Guldemond. ## Quick Links for International Songwriting Competition: Website: www.songwritingcompetition.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InternationalSongwritingCompetition Twitter: https://twitter.com/intlsongcomp Quick Links for Frequency: * Frequency on Twitter * Frequency on Facebook * Frequency on Google+ * Dan on Twitter, Google+, Facebook * Joe on Twitter, Google+

Josh Wilson Says “Yes” with New Album - Frequency.FM

Perhaps we say this too much, but we really mean it this time:  You are in for a treat today.  For our latest Amp’d Interview, we brought on recording artist Josh Wilson to talk about his forthcoming album That Was Then This Is Now (July 31, 2015).  Not only that, but we invited author (and occasional guest) Bonnie Gray to sit in as co-host for the interview.  In fact, Bonnie did such a great job, Joe effectively just sat back and enjoyed the experience.  We think you’ll do the same. Josh and company chat about the new album and play some word association games regarding some of the songs.  They explore the themes of the album as represented in lyrics and as influenced by his own life experience – addressing specifically the idea of fear and the importance of saying “yes” when God calls us to serve his purpose.  Oh, and he shares some pretty exciting news, too. Other Notes: * Both Josh and Bonnie professed their love of a book by Steven Pressfield: The War of Art. We haven’t read it yet, but their recommendation should be sufficient for you to pick it up. * And Josh and Joe gushed about Ellie Holcomb, who we interviewed last year on the day of the release of her wonderful album,  As Sure as the Sun. * Bonnie did 95% of the preparation for this interview, and we think she did a great job facilitating.  Don’t you think she should start doing this more regularly?  Maybe she’ll start her own podcast… * The International Songwriting Competition 2015, one of the more prestigious and recognized contests for songwriters, is now open for entries.  Whether you are an established or emerging songwriter, you should consider entering.  Actually, we feel strongly enough about it, that we’ll be giving away an entry to one lucky songwriter. Stay tuned for more details. ## Quick Links for Josh Wilson: Website: www.joshwilsonmusic.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshwilson Twitter: https://twitter.com/joshwilson Quick Links for Bonnie Gray: Website: http://www.faithbarista.com/ Facebook: http://facebook.com/thebonniegray Twitter: http://twitter.com/TheBonnieGray Quick Links for Frequency: * Frequency on Twitter * Frequency on Facebook * Frequency on Google+ * Dan on
