Covering Up

A few days ago I was on YouTube listening to some acoustic song covers, when I came across this guy's channel:

I listened to a few of his songs, and I about died. His voice is amazing! He's uploaded covers of a lot of popular songs (and some originals too!), and the soulful, raspy vibe he adds to them is just fantastic.

Here's a few covers Matt's done:

"Grenade" by Bruno Mars

"Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon


"Cooler Than Me" by Mike Posner


and one of my personal favorites...
"E.T. (featuring Kanye West)" by Katy Perry


Go visit Matt Beilis' YouTube Channel and check out the rest of his songs- you won't regret it!

How Sweet It Is

For me, there is something amazing about country music and summer. The two just go together perfectly. Obviously I listen to country year round, but its relaxed, simple vibe is absolutely perfect for long, lazy summers, and the thought of cranking up a great song while laying in the sun on my hammock and sipping cold iced tea or hanging  just hanging out with friends sounds like pure bliss!
(Bonus points if I'm near the water!)

Here's a few of my favorite country tunes for summer!


"No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem"- Kenny Chesney


"Hey Hey Hey"- Uncle Kracker


"Baby's on the Way"- Luke Bryan


"All Summer Long"- Kid Rock


"Big Green Tractor"- Jason Aldean


"When the Sun Goes Down"- Kenny Chesney and Uncle Kracker


"Why Don't We Just Dance"- Josh Turner

Have a fabulous weekend!
