Macyn Taylor - Candy Man

The Indies is pleased to present somethig a little bit different.

Just below is a nice one shot home video made approximately six years ago of a young musician named Macyn Taylor on her next door neighbors front porch. We like everything about it down to the back country feel of the porch and her bare feet keeping tempo. She performs the banjo with excellent picking style and sings a cover of the song titled Candy Man the way Taj Mahal released it in 1969. Enjoy!

Just below is Taj Mahal's interpretation of Candy Man for his 1969 album titled Giant Step/De Ole Folks at Home, which was a unique double album in that one of the vinyl's, Giant Step is electric, while the other vinyl record, De Ole Folks at Home, is acoustic.

The song was originally written and performed by Reverend Gary Davis as "Candyman". Davis, who was born on April 30, 1896 and died on May 5, 1972, was a gospel and blues singer who also played guitar, banjo and the harmonica. His unique picking style has influenced many other guitarists and banjo players.

Miraa May - N15 (Music Video)

Miraa May is a stellar emerging songwriter and recording artist from Tottenham, England.

The Indies is very pleased to present a music video for the title track of the song that Miraa May wrote and performed for her second EP titled N15. The song grooves under her unique staccato/soul rap that blends beautifully with the soulful R&B voice that comes out of her colorful personality. She's got something in her rap/soul blend that reminds us of a modern day Melaaz, which is a good thing.

The track was produced by Salaam Remi. The music video was directed by WVRSONLY and shot and edited by R+B.

Please click play on the video below, pick the high-resolution & fullscreen options and kick back. At the conclusion of Miraa May's music video, 14 hours worth of curated music videos will automatically continue playing.

Elise Trouw - Awake (Music Videos)

The Indies is proud to present, Elise Trouw, a inspired emerging 18 year old drummer who has a lovely voice, with additional skills as an arranger, one girl band as a looper, multi-instrumentalist and technical/gear geek who proudly to offers up lists of what electronics and gear she used to make her recordings.

Nonchalant or laid back best describes her style. Her music is never rushed and maintains a certain stillness to it, such as in her most recent viral music video of a mashup of a FooFighters song titled Everlong meets Bobby Caldwell's song titled What You Won't Do, (listen/view here at TheQuietStorm.Com). That smooth groove mashup recording she made may just be what landed her debut network television appearance and two song performance on ABC-TV's Jimmy Kimmel Live on January 30th, 2018.

Outside of the viral cover song mashup referenced above, she is a very good original songwriter who musters up talented people to help her make well done audio recordings, music videos and filmed live performances.

The two videos featured below are different versions of the same song titled Awake. Awake is track #10 on her independent debut album titled Unraveling.

It is a tossup between which version is The-Indies favorite, so a flip of a quarter picked the minimalist piano/voice version first and the studio version of Awake and it's conceptual music video next. Enjoy!
