Broadjam Artist: Ronald Arduini
Song: WALTZ FOR DEBBY

Reviewer: Toni Fournier

Positive Comments: Reminds me of a song I’d hear on Broadway. It could work well in a movie set in the 40’s.

Constructive Comments: Great musicianship and vocal. Keep goin’, Toni

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: Do it Again

Reviewer: Toni Fournier

Positive Comments: A good song to open up a new perspective from God’s point of view as well. A folksy sound for sure. A very upbeat happiness in this song.

Constructive Comments: Your voice suits the style of music. I understand you play live and that would be very good/lively. Keep goin’ Kate, Toni

Broadjam Artist: HAYWARD A. FRANKS
Song: LONG, LONG LINE OF LIARS

Reviewer: Toni Fournier

Positive Comments: Intro caught my attention right away. Great vocal. Great song all around.

Constructive Comments: this would be a great song on blues, or blues/country radio. Keep goin’! Toni

Broadjam Artist: Signal 30
Song: King of the Hill

Reviewer: Cody Lee/Johnny & The Whatnots

Positive Comments: Taste is very subjective. I do listen to lots of music, and lots of Americana. Vocals are tricky and I am very open to all kinds of singing in rock. However, the singer sounds like he is being strangled or at least, like he is really straining to get the words out. I would find it difficult to listen to a whole set by this artist/band.

Constructive Comments: The vocals sound very painful and I do not find that enjoyable to hear.

Broadjam Artist: English Mike
Song: Doheney Beach

Reviewer: Cody Lee/Johnny & The Whatnots

Positive Comments: Great Surf-style instrumental. Oddly, the bridge section melody is, maybe, a little too reminiscent of the Who melody from Tommy. I think it is Uncle Ernie/Fiddle about. But otherwise, for this genre, it is perfect. The drums nail the surf beat and I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised by the total quality of the track. Cool clean surf guitar tones. Mostly perfect, except for that one concern about the melody.

Constructive Comments: See above. Just that comment about the melody. For this kind of music, I think you guys/gals have nailed it.Cody

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: I’ve Been Up & I’ve Been Down Corey’s

Reviewer: Marc S. Pate

Positive Comments: Great vocals. Well done.

Constructive Comments: Sounds like a lot of midi and live vocals/guitar. Needs a boost, a little hotter sound to bring everything out. Maybe just a better mix. You’ve got a good tune, keep it up.

Broadjam Artist: Marilyn Hall
Song: A Bayou Kind of Night

Reviewer: Marc S. Pate

Positive Comments: Interesting intro. Great harmonies. Good tune, well played. Obvious talent, with feeling.

Constructive Comments: Well done, but I kept waiting for the band to kick in. It really lends itself to big highs and lows. Keep up the great work.

Reviewer: Marc S. Pate
