Jonny Melo Band - Betterfly
This indie artist is both an incredibly talented guitarist and vocalist. With each track, we fall deeper and deeper into his music. He is from Ottawa in Canada and someone we look forward to hearing more of. Although we can almost guarantee he's a new face to you, he's one we know that we'd like to keep around. His refreshing sound is just what we need after a long day. Indulge in his melodies.

The Weakerthans - Left and Leaving
This favourite is by a band we discovered from starting Songs From Us to You. It had us hooked from the very first chord. This band has a cool story behind them! The band was formed in about 1997, and 10 years later produced their album The Reunion in a recording studio above an old factory in Winnipeg. They originally were from Winnipeg and so it seemed appropriate. They would arrive at the studio after the factory day was done and create songs and record throughout the night, finishing as the factory reopened in the morning. We hope you are as captivated by The Weakerthan's sound as we are.

Robert Francis – Little Girl
For Robert Francis, music is more than making a living or finding an outlet to express his emotions. For him, he claims that music is his way of keeping from losing his mind. This song emerges from the emotional turmoil of a failed relationship. His lyrics are candid and transparent. The intimacy that you feel when listening to his music is something that cannot be fabricated. He is real. He is real with his music and his emotions are genuine and moving. We hope this sad (yet immensely beautiful) song speaks to you today.

Tyler Hilton featuring Kina Grannis - I Believe In You
Tyler Hilton, a California native, has a musical style that has been compared to that of Howie Day as well as Elton John. His first album was released in 2004 and since then he has been asked to perform and act in various TV shows and movies. Kina Grannis made her break into the music world during the SuperBowl XLII, after winning the Doritos "Crash the SuperBowl" contest. Her first album was released in 2003, and since then she has continued releasing albums, the most recent in 2010. The voices of these two individuals come together and make this song something to be admired. We hope you admire it too.

Today we share an Aussie favourite.
Gold Fields - Treehouse
This up and coming five-piece band from Australia, is one that will have you wishing they had more albums so there was more to listen to! This group has been big in Australia, New Zealand and the UK and is just starting to become more well known in North America. From listening to a few of their released tracks, we can already tell that his group is euphoric and has musical talent in high supply. We hope that means that there's more where this came from and they continue releasing tracks to win us over completely!

Wakey! Wakey! - Dance So Good
Wakey! Wakey! is a lucky find! A four person band led by Mike Grubbs on piano and vocals from New York, Wakey! Wakey! is currently on an international tour. This song tugs on your heart, allowing you to relate to the feelings Grubbs has experienced that inspired his song. His piano skills are amazing, and the combination of the piano with his voice make this song one that you will not forget about. It gets stuck in our heads all the time. We hope you're humming it tomorrow!

Andy McKee - Ouray
As we are in the midst of exams, we thought we could share one of our favourite study group artists. It brings a great soothing feeling for work or play. Although it is an acoustic piece with no lyrics, his talent proves to be greater than many. He is currently on a world tour and is playing in some places he’s never ventured before (you can find dates on his homepage). Andy McKee is one of the finest acoustic guitarists that we’ve ever had the pleasure of studying to. Have a listen, fall in love.

Dear You.
Today we share a favourite 48hr charity event and a song to go with it.
Passion – Lemonade
Although we don’t know much about the artist of this track, we do know a lot about the project we want to share. The Richard Ivey School of Business located on the campus of the University of Western Ontario has started a 48hr blitz where they are trying to raise as much money as possible for the Boys and Girls Club of London. The students have been separated into small groups of seven and given $50 to start off their fundraising project. They only have forty eight hours to develop a creative method to raise money, attain all supplies, market their idea, and implement their ideas. We know that we’ll be having at least two glasses of LemonAID to support this cause! We hope that if you’re from London, you quench your thirst with a tall glass of lemonade from either campus or around the neighbouring cities ... they’re everywhere! Help the future business leaders of the world with their race against the clock and show them your lemon face!

Allred-Golden
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gysvFHXLLk
This song has been a favourite for a very long time. Listening to it never gets old. Allred is a band of five started by songwriter John Allred of Hartford, Connecticut in 2002. Their acoustic sound is the perfect Sunday afternoon listen. The band has been influenced by a number of artists, and they have taken their influences and made something great. Their newest album All We Are was released at the end of last year and is definitely worth picking up. We love the feeling behind the music, and we really hope you do too.

Sneaker Pimps – 6 Underground
Sneaker Pimps took their name from an article written by the Beastie Boys about a man they hired to track down some classical sneakers. But Sneaker Pimps is more than just a good story. They are a group that formed in 1994 whose music is still being enjoyed to this day. Their eerie sound draws you in and keeps you listening until the final decrescendo. We hope this track, which made it to number nine on the UK charts, makes its way onto your songlist.
But today we share more than just a song. We also share a project.
Bully Me
Emily Ferris, a University of Western Ontario student, is a girl you should keep an eye on. She has the ability to capture the artistic essence of whatever she is pursuing and this is a skill and talent that is not easy to come by. We expect great things from her. We share her project on body dysmorphia which also features the track 6 Underground. We hope it amazes you too.

Research Material is a band from Los Angeles, California. All of the members (Matt, Ryan, Fred and Adam) met at Boston's Emerson College where they were all in film school. Research Material's music has been featured on a number of TV shows for different networks. They will begin their first tour this year, and maybe if you're lucky you can go see them live! This song is a cute pick me up after a long day. We hope it makes you as happy as it makes us.

Yoyoyo Acapulco – Bonzai Tree
This Norwegian band first caught our attention with their song “Orange” when we stumbled upon it by accident on Youtube. But "Bonzai Tree" on the other hand, while still centralizing the ukulele, is a little calmer and more reserved. We promise that this catchy and lovable music will make an excellent addition to your iTunes. Add a little Yoyoyo Acapulco to your life!

Gregory and the Hawk-A Wish
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DVioC68RxI
Gregory and the Hawk is in fact the solo endeavour of New York's Meredith Godreau. Although Gregory and the Hawk has not produced any records at this point in time, they have a huge internet following and have promoted their music that way. This song has an honesty to it not heard very often as do most Gregory and the Hawk songs. We also recommend Like Daddy Like Daughter by the same artist (although all of their music is worth a listen)!

Basia Bulat – Heart Of My Own
This University of Western Ontario graduate was nominated for a Juno this year (a music award presented to Canadian artists) and she definitely deserves recognition as one of the best new artists the country has produced. Her bubbly voice, backed by a loyal band, proves to be exactly what the nation wants to exemplify. We promise that she’s even better live so if you can make it to a show in her mini Canadian tour (dates and locations can be found on her website) then we highly recommend it. She also teases us with some promises of summer appearances! We hope you love this Canadian Beauty just as must as the rest of Canada!

Alexi Murdoch - Song for You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo_enc7uKYU
Alexi Murdoch has a voice like none other. It captivates you and makes you want to listen to him on repeat for hours on end. The Rolling Stone labelled him one of the Top Ten Artists to Watch after the release of his debut album in 2006. He has not marketed either of his albums, but his popularity continues to grow. He is how he sounds. No fancy gimmicks, no costumes, no promotions, just him. That is exactly what we love. We hope you do too.

Slow Club – Come On Youth
This song just makes us smile. Its acoustics are so happy and the lyrics are a delight to listen to. The band Slow Club is made up of a duo from England: Charles Watson (vocals, guitar) and Rebecca Taylor (vocals, guitar, percussion). These two musicians are most notably known for their use of strange percussion items, such as glass bottles and chairs. I hope this feel-good track helps your Sunday get a little lazier.

JJ - Things Will Never Be the Same Again
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RLSoT0Sm3U&feature=related
Out of Sweden, JJ is a two member band who came together in early 2009. They have done covers of some popular songs including "Birthday Sex", but continue to write original songs as well. This song has a unique sound which we love! It is gentle and soothing and makes you want to curl up with a fuzzy blanket and listen the night away. We hope you are soothed by its beautiful sound.

Green River Ordinance – Endlessly
This group of five are from Fort Worth, Texas. With a band name meaning “prohibition of door-to-door soliciting”, it's quite the oxymoron because we know there are fans who would love to have Green River Ordinance at their doors! Not only is this group attractive and talented, they are also charitable. They have started their own charity project where you can purchase songs online and 100% of the profits go to one of the five sponsored charity organizations. You get to pick where you send your donation! This project can be found at http://www.thehopegros.com/ and we encourage you to join us in supporting them. If you like their music, you’ll love the feeling you get, knowing you’ve made a difference by listening. And if you REALLY like their music, you'll love their concerts they have coming up!
