Swoop’s World Late Night is on Wednesday’s from 8pm/PST – 11pm/PST tune in at Swoopsworld.com. Jordan Oram (the Maplemusketeer) My name is Jordan Oram, and I am a person, like any other, on this giant spinning blueberry in space. I have a few areas of strength and many more areas of weakness. I have dreams and fears, triumphs and failures; I also procrastinate. I take little steps forward in pursuit of my passion: encouraging awesomeness; I’m able to do this with the support and encouragement of my friends and my family, and with the use of my skills and abilities. In April 2012, starting with around $250, I set out from Victoria, British Columbia, on the West Coast of Canada, and traveled over 7000km to Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the East Coast. Then I made my way back. It was a 7-month journey that was over 32 years in the making. I took over 24 000 pictures, starting with an old beat-up point and shoot camera before being given a not-as-old beat-up DSLR camera. Another person gave me a lens for the camera. Another person gave me $20 so I could buy a memory card for that camera. I didn’t take my pictures alone. I didn’t travel across the country alone. It was a collaborative quest. This journey is a bit about me, but more so, it is about us... and our world. Not just the people, stories, and places shown on television, with the fear-mongering shiny plastic veneer of celebrity, but the undergirding ever-present struggle, life, joy, sorrow, success, and beauty of awesomeness unfolding all around that we are a part of, that we walk and interact with, that we, by our choices, actions, and non-actions, shape all of our tomorrows with. The world is a dynamic place, not a static experience set on repeat. This is both frightening and exciting. This is both challenging and invitational. This is life for the living; little steps at a time. You are incredible. Our world is amazing. Each day, each minute, each moment is unique and fleeting. Come with me, and let’s explore and meet the awesomeness unfolding, growing, revealing, and undergirding our every days. May this journey challenge you, inspire you, frighten you, invite you, and delight you. The Altar Billies Led by Altar Boys front man Mike Stand on geetar and vocals, the group has taken the music of the Altar Boys, stripped it down to its roots, put a twang to it, and a swing that will keep your toes a tapp’n and your fingers snapp’n. Rounding out the line up are Johnny X on upright and Chuck “Wagon” Cummings on the skins. Available for barn dances, hoedowns, revival meet’ns, as a closer, opener, and anything in between, whatever…… So ya’ll give us a holler, and we’ll come down yer way right lickity split.

Swoop’s World Late Night is on Wednesday’s from 8pm/PST – 11pm/PST tune in at Swoopsworld.com. Eddie Cohn As long as people have put words to music, there have been love songs in the world. They represent the most common emotion that binds us all together as humans and they can express every step of a relationship's journey: the ups and downs, the sex, the drama, the joy and frustration, the first blush and the breakup. Singer/songwriter Eddie Cohn is just one example of an artist who is not immune to the allure of a well-crafted love song, having studied the work of other artists and exploring similar themes in his own work. All of which was simply building up to the raw, heartfelt emotion that he brings to his latest album Guarantee Me Love. "It's a bit of a surprise to me, too," he says of writing the songs for this new release. "I know firsthand how it's not so simple anymore: being with someone and being in love with someone is work. At the same time, it's work that all of us really want to do. We all want to find true love. Our hearts are all craving it. So I wanted to make a record that, while is very personal, is also something everyone can connect with." That feeling of tenderness and candidness prevails on this, Cohn's third full-length. Not only through his unfettered lyrics "I remember when I felt lost/you wrapped me in shade/every night I want you beside me/then today I woke up with a goddamn mistake/think I'm gonna run far away/won't you guarantee me love"), but also his performances on the album. His voice, always one of his strengths, feels more present than ever. It feels like he's in the room with you, pleading, cajoling, and enticing with each line. The cracks are present around the edges, but they only add to the sentiments within. The songs continue to resonate through the strength of their arrangements. Key to that was the sturdy work of his longtime drummer Adam Gust, but Cohn also wanted to experiment as well. Inspired by albums like Beck's Sea Change and Other Lives' Tamer Animals, he incorporated a lush, almost cinematic backdrop of strings to mesh with his guitar, keyboards, and vocals. To bring that to life, he called on Phil Peterson, a Seattle-based cellist and arranger who added lovely arrangements and texture to almost all the tracks on Guarantee. Another key player in the process was producer Dan Silver, a renowned musician from L.A. and founding member of the alt-rock band Standing Shadows. According to Cohn, Silver helped realize the driving urgency of "Help Me Feel Something," the sultry pulse of "Dreaming of You," and the no-holds-barred rocker "Soul Fix." "It was a relief to have the right man for the job," Cohn says of Silver's influence on the album. "I met Dan three years ago at SXSW. We kept bumping into each other at parties and shows in LA. We also found out we're both from Ohio and we love the same bands. It felt like a great marriage. We formed a great musical connection. It was a great process." The next step is to bring the music to the world. Guarantee Me Love will be released towards the spring or summer of 2014, but Cohn is ready to give people small tastes of the full album. His plans are to release a single or two, videos,
