I'm sure I'm leaving someone out even thought I've perused my IPad's list of artist several times. I'll conclude this series with two more bands.
One of them is a sweet voiced singer in her own band now but was one of the original's in another band called Rosco Bandana.
Both bands feature kids I knew when I was a Mississippi Youth Minister.
Emily is the youngest of three really talented siblings. The oldest one was in college before we became friends but a few years later I was privileged to officiate at her wedding. The middle child was our awesome drummer for the 605 Band mentioned in a previous post. Emily I think was in the 9th or 10th grade, maybe younger, when I left Mississippi to begin overseas work. Looking back on it and if I had stayed there instead of going overseas, then she probably should have been the next "face" and "voice" for our worship band. She was...and is... RICH in talent. Great voice, plays at least a couple instruments, and incredible stage presence.
Honestly, I really don't know much about her band or the music on the album she just released this week. I don't know much about the other band she started with either, Rosco Bandana...but you should look them up and read some of the stories about them.

You can find Della Memoria on Facebook and also on ITunes.
The leader for Rosco is another kid I knew during my Gulfport days. His name is Jason. He was always a really bright kid and he got it honestly- I always thought his sisters and parents were brainy. Jason and I didn't always see eye to eye and he really wasn't active in our youth ministry but I generally considered all the kids in town back then as kids I cared for and ministered with. His grandfather was a Deacon in the church I served so I did watch him grow up during those years I lived on the Coast.
A few years back (all this is long after I left Mississippi), Jason and some of his friends formed Rosco and then won an international competition at Hard Rock Cafe which led to, I think, Hard Rock Records first signed artist. You definitely should look them up on ITunes- it's a really great rockabilly, folksy sound. And they even have videos!
So what I have here is one of their videos that features both Jason and Emily (Jason is the lead vocalist and shows up first in the video with the head full of hair; Emily is the completely stunning brunette driving the car at about the 1 minute mark).
A concept video is cool and all that, but you really need to see them perform. They performed in England as part of the Hard Rock competition and if they ever make it Central Europe, I'd like to see them.
And here's Emily's band jamming out in concert. I couldn't find a vid of her singing.
