Listen UP!
When we do these “Listen UP!” posts, we really try to introduce you to GOOD music – we’ve featured a lot of artists here that you’ve grown to love – Adam Gregory, Gloriana, Zac Brown Band, Matt Stillwell and many others – and this time, we have another artist that we know you’re going to love!
Dustin Bogue is a singer/songwriter currently in Nashville and he has a great sound! There are lots of people trying to make it in Nashville and Dustin has a voice that sets him apart from others. Once that voice pulls you in (trust us, it won’t take long!,) the powerful lyrics in his songs will hit you just as hard as his voice did. One song that we’re loving and that you MUST listen to is “It Takes A Burn To Learn.” The lyrics are so honest and raw – the song hits you and makes you feel something, which is refreshing. Definitely go listen to that song HERE and come back and let us know what you think – we love it!
Another favorite of ours is “Didn’t Feel A Thing.” Watch the video below and you’ll understand why! This song is another great example of Dustin’s most valueable instrument: his voice. He has such a raw sound that forces the music to hit you immediately – which translates to “mission accomplished” in music, right?! When you listen to music don’t you want to feel something, don’t you want the music to move you? That’s exactly what Dustin’s music does! The lyrics back his voice up in a way that actually surprised us. A lot of songs on country radio currently tend to carry the same theme – after you’ve heard the first few lines, you can generally guess the direction the song is headed. But Dustin’s songs aren’t that way – sure there are only so many stories to be told, but Dustin’s music takes a fresh approach with the lyrics instead of following tradition. Here’s the video for “Didn’t Feel A Thing”…
