Reviewer: Jimmy

Positive Comments: GREAT SONG!!!

Constructive Comments: NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS

Broadjam Artist: Kate Carpenter
Song: When Mama Says No

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Very enjoyable kids track.

Constructive Comments: Kind of hard to find the hook or the overall song title.

Broadjam Artist: Oliver Keynes Lafaye
Song: New chapter

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Very modern classical sound with some interesting changes. The staccato intro and outro set it apart.

Constructive Comments: I’d cut the intro in half to introduce other instruments quickly, to get the attention of a music supervisor.

Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: Sand Castles

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Very solid sound with some nice dynamics. I really enjoyed the chord progression.

Constructive Comments: Even as a professional drummer, I felt the drums were maybe 4-5db too hot (particularly the snare). I’d cut that down and raise the bass drum kick by nearly as much for more punch.

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: Dry Run

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Country flair but still kind of folk rock. Overall very good sound.

Constructive Comments: For me, the vocals are too far up-front by 3-4db, which makes the 2-part male/female harmonies sound a bit weaker. Adding a 3rd harmony would be beneficial. It takes just the right song to make 2-part work perfectly.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Sunday In The Summer

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Nice 70s throwback sound.

Constructive Comments: The harmonies could be tighter in spots and a 3rd part would add a lot.

Broadjam Artist: Greg Lambert
Song: Can We Love Again (w/ Donovan Tucker)

Reviewer: Bob Birthisel

Positive Comments: Well-written song with a lot of nice instrumentation. The hook is easily recognized and the melody is very effective. Very 90s Country throwback sound.

Constructive Comments: I think a younger-sounding voice would bring this new life.

Broadjam Artist: Vi: 00110110
Song: Protilius: Chose to eat the lie (2019 Demo)

Reviewer: PHIL MITTEN STORYTELLER

Positive Comments: Great backing track ! Powerful lyrics , quite appropriate for what’s going on in the world at the moment .

Constructive Comments: The effect on the vocal didn’t quite do it for me .

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: And When I Hold You / Folk Alternative

Reviewer: Bill Dake

Positive Comments: Nice folk style guitar instrumental.

Constructive Comments: I liked this. My suggestion would be to shorten it to about 2:30 as the theme is pretty well stated in that time. If you ever get a chance to arrange this for a quartet guitar, bass, mandolin and maybe cello, this would have a better chance of placement. Good luck and keep writing.
