Wednesday Alternative Artist Discovery #Happens
Happy Wednesday! This week’s Alternative Artist Discovery is The Rockyts. Jeremy Abboud is The Rockyts. He is a 20 year old, who recently relocated from Canada to LA and plays every instrument on his new single "A Girl Like You." He says, "I decided to try & top my 1st harmonica solo in terms of insanity & make it sound like Bob Dylan on cocaine. I grabbed a handheld mic & ran around the room improvising until it sounded unhinged & explosive enough." Thanks to Todd Sievers from CO5 Music for VIP Access on your Artist Discovery Of The Week.
