Album Review: Sunny Hilden - You Are Here

I predict, you'll find this album sunny with a chance of inspiration!

Sunny Hilden is a popular songwriter who's written for numerous artists such as David Archuleta, Sting, Patti LaBelle and more. Yes, her album was released in 2007 and I'm reviewing it now, but is there really a time limit on discovering music? Especially music as great and uplifting as the songs on her album You Are Here. I'll admit, I didn't know of Sunny Hilden before I knew of her writing credit on David Archuleta's song "Dream Sky High", but better late than never right?

This album has it all, pop, ballads, even a holiday tune. My personal favorites are the deep "If You Knew Now", the funky and creative "VIP (Very Inspired Perceptions)" and the upbeat "It's All Behind Us Now". This album has a song for any mood, enlightening lyrics and will definitely inspire!

Not only is Sunny's writing inspirational, but her voice soars high up past the clouds and to the angels ;)

You can listen to song clips and purchase "You Are Here" at CDBaby.com!

Concert Review: Port Chuck - End of Summer Tour

Being a General Hospital fan for over three years and a newly Port Chuck fan, when I heard the guys were coming to Boston during their end of summer tour I had to go! And they did not disappoint last night at their show in Boston, and neither did the crowd! Steve Burton, Brandon Barash, Bradford Anderson (who wore a Boston Red Sox shirt!) and Scott Reeves of General Hospital put on a great concert with lots of surprises, singing some new rock covers including classics from Journey and Michael Jackson, along with songs from their album.

Each with their own distinct voices and hilarious personalities, it made for one awesome show! Towards the middle of their set, the guys took it down a bit as Scott got out his guitar and sang "Hallelujah" and sweetly serenaded a young girl for her 14th birthday. They played songs from different decades and classics anyone would know, and they put on a show that everyone would enjoy. Eventually the guys sang one last song and then left the stage, but I noticed no one in the audience was leaving and neither was the band, and that's when I knew it wasn't quite over yet. After the crowd cheered louder than ever, suddenly the intro to "Jessie's Girl" started playing and the guys came out to perform their encore of the Rick Springfield (who was on GH as Dr. Noah Drake/Eli Love) hit.

The concert was fast-paced and nonstop music, and those four guys are very energetic and playful on stage together, even introducing each other as their General Hospital character names! You can tell they love what they're doing and really enjoy each other's company. As for the audience, they were super energetic and enthusiastic, and you could really see how much everyone in the crowd loves these guys!

Reviewing a Port Chuck concert is hard as each show they put on is unpredictable, but I can guarantee you'll enjoy it whether you're a General Hospital fan or just a fan of great music!
