Artist To Watch: Dave Preston
For the past couple of years, I have had the pleasure of seeing this month’s featured artist, Dave Preston, play all over Denver. And while his raw and natural talent has been featured alongside some great artists, including Paula Cole, Trace Bundy, and One Eskimo, it’s his ambient guitar work, from his debut release BE, that has been recognized across the globe. After receiving internationally syndicated radio play, as well as being featured nationally on NPR, the release debuted in September of 2008 on the New Age Reporter Charts at number 91, shooting to number 66 the following month.That same year, Preston was selected to join the band of an…

Hiatus Over
The Idol Insider went to Austin for some extreme music overload at SXSW (South By Southwest) a couple of weeks ago and you may have noticed I’ve been MIA since. Well, friends, the music got the best of me and I crashed hard after one of the best weekends I’ve had in a while. And now, fully recovered, I am back and ready to bring you some new incredible tunes from some insanely talented, new artists on the rise. Earlier this year, I introduced you to Matt Morris, who took over Austin playing multiple shows each day during the fest, and earlier today he premiered the I Heart Radio acoustic…

EXCLUSIVE: Matt Morris In Denver
After a whirlwind promotional tour surrounding the release of his new album, When Everything Breaks Open, Matt Morris has found his way back home to Denver, Colorado. In the past couple of months, Morris has gone from singer-songwriter to star – performing with Justin Timberlake on the Hope For Haiti Telethon, singing for Ellen DeGeneres, George Lopez, and David Letterman, and appearing on multiple local and cable shows. But it was in his hometown where the very humble and grounded performer got to experience some of his new found popularity for, what seemed like, the first time. On Thursday night, he stopped by one of Denver’s premier venues, The Bluebird…

Have A Little Fun Today
Have you heard of Matt Morris? Ha! Well, if you’re keeping up with the Idol Insider you should have answered yes, seeing that we’ve almost exclusively covered his career this year. And we promise that more news is on the way, but before we let Mr. Morris rest, I must share with my readers his performance from yesterday’s Ellen. Not only did Matt rock his single “Money”, but he shared the stage with his album producers, Charlie Sexton and Justin Timberlake (yep, the one and only), closing the show with “Bloodline”. It rocked my face off and I know it will rock yours off, too. So there you have it…

Matt Morris Weekend
Singer, Matt Morris, has had a very busy week in promotion celebration of his debut album, When Everything Breaks Open, available now. He had his record release party at New York’s Drom, where he was interviewed by a slew of publications, including US Weekly. Last night, Morris appeared on David Letterman and then again on The Early Show this morning on CBS, singing his single, “Money”, on both programs . A smart choice by camp-Morris, seeing as the song became quite topical last week in the wake of the disaster in Haiti. Matt performed with a full band, including Denver musicians Dave Preston and Jon Powers. If you missed Matt’s…

Please Be Kind and Remind
American Idol kicks of its 9th season tonight on Fox with a 2-hour season premiere, featuring all the behind the scenes footage from the Boston auditions. There are plenty of reasons to tune in this season, but the biggest reason came from an announcement made yesterday. Simon Cowell announced that “this will be [his] last season on American Idol” so he can focus on bringing his show, X Factor, to the states in the fall of 2011. Simon said he is very excited to be bringing another great show to Fox’s lineup and even hinted that we may get a chance to see a Paula-Simon reunion when the show premieres. …

Artist To Watch: Matt Morris
If you haven’t heard the name Matt Morris, or found yourself jamming out to his tunes, you soon will. Matt, a resident of Denver, Colorado, is prepping the release of his debut album, titled “When Everything Breaks Open”. Coincidence? I think not.
