Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: God Speed

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Loved the patches and vibe. Kind of like Yello, the band. Especially like the change. Also reminds me (as I listen and write at the same time) of a great album by Sandra – Paintings in Yellow – check out that album. You’ll love a lot of the music I’m guessing.

Constructive Comments: Nothing here to add as I enjoyed it a lot.

Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe – Songwriter
Song: And Can You? (Jazz Piano/Pop)

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Great vocal performance that reminds me of Christina Aguilera in places.

Constructive Comments: I sometimes complain about the overuse of big reverb on shows like Got Talent or X Factor but fell on this type of song it would perhaps take it to another dimension and really add dynamic. Vocals are a bit too dry for me.

Broadjam Artist: Johnny Schaefer
Song: Your Sweater

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Not sure how to categorise this tune as it’s so different. The story telling nature of the lyrics points me in the direction of musical theater. Great vocal performance. A good polished all round performance.

Constructive Comments: I think I’ve said all I wanted in my positive comments – nothing to add.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: Question Your Motives

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Reminded me (vocally) of the great 80’s band called Love and Money – check them out – Jocelyn Square or their big hit Candybar Express. A different kettle of fish musically but I always try and introduce artists to artists I like if I hear a similarity – always good to hear a great cross section of stuff in my view.

Constructive Comments: Nothing to really add as I am somewhat unqualified in this genre.
