Broadjam Artist: Matt Mereu
Song: Renovation Woman

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I like the driving beat and how the singer sounds like Jagger – I like the rhythm and the lead guitar.

Constructive Comments: I like the song it’s got a great beat, I think the band sounds so much like the Rolling Stones that it’s unreal – the only thing that I would work on is the hook – best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Maguire
Song: Red House

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I really like the way the song starts and I love the lead guitar, very good instrumentation for sure – sounds a lot like the Allman Brothers Band.Did I say I liked the lead guitar because I think that the solo is the coolest part of the song!

Constructive Comments: Very good Southern Blues Rock for sure, I think the recording is a little rough but maybe this was done live. Anyway, I would record it again in a studio and get the noise out. I think the vocals are great!

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Alone to Wonder / Jazz

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Nice blues/jazz tune, melody is compact and well constructed, harmonies simple but in the right place and suit the melody. Overall very listenable bit of jazz/blues music.Nice to hear someone using vibes again.

Constructive Comments: Drums are to busy, should just play straight, simple swing under the harmony and melody. Way less fills on toms , snare, mostly just cymbal keeping time with the occasional accent. Really nice melody, some of the ” soloing ” is a little crude and simplistic, but I’m guessing this is a bit of a demo, so my advice would be to keep it all simple and let the melody speak with small variations to keep it moving. Just make sure it swings.
