Singer-songwriter Michael LeClerc releases new self-titled EP album

The singer and songwriter from Ontario, Canada known as Michael LeClerc has released his new self-titled EP album, “Michael LeClerc.” The record is composed of six LeClerc originals for an approximate total listening time of 20 minutes, making for a comprehensive introduction to this popular performer from Ontario, Canada. Warm, upbeat, and accessible to fans of virtually any music style, “Michael LeClerc” by Michael LeClerc is sure to snare the attention of singer-songwriter fans around the world.

LeClerc's music, while unique in its tone and surprisingly smooth delivery, fits well in record collections which may include James Taylor, David Gray, Jackson Brown, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, or Van Morrison. Simply cross-referencing the general feel of songs by the above can approximate the tenor and acoustic groove of the “Michael LeClerc” EP, though it must be heard in its entirety to be appreciated and understood.

Part of this is due to the highly textured musical background of the artist. In addition to Dave Matthews and Van Morrison, LeClerc cites as main artistic influences higher-octane acts such as Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, and Nirvana, as well as masters of emotional crescendo like John Mayer and the Beatles.

Michael LeClerc has been singing since the age of eight and playing guitar since 14. After moving to the Cayman Islands in 2007, LeClerc started a band, Smooth Bill, with which band he came to perform for audiences numbering in the thousands. In time, Smooth Bill reached more listeners via online radio stations and on public radio in the Caymans, prompting LeClerc to focus on his music.

He recorded his debut solo EP, “Radio” in 2010. He has since moved to California where he performs as a featured artist at wineries all along the coast, as well as at the Renaissance Hotels as part of their RLIFE Concert Series. The series showcases premier independent musicians and has helped launch careers for acts like Bruno Mars, Robin Thicke, and Neon Trees.

“Michael LeClerc” by Michael LeClerc is available online worldwide beginning Sept. 1, 2015.

The singer and songwriter known as Luke Underhill has released his new EP record, “Atlas.” The EP brings six new Underhill tracks for an approximate total listening time of half an hour. It has been proudly published on the Rags Records independent music label without the influence of the corporate music industry. The most significant Underhill release since his breakaway surprise 2013 hit, “Back to November,” “Atlas” is evocative, melodic, and poised to bring the music of Luke Underhill to listeners around the globe.

Luke Underhill cites as main artistic influences the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Jason Mraz, and John Mayer. In terms of similarities, his own style lies closest to the latter two, and fans of both Mraz and Mayer are certain to be enthusiastic with all of Luke Underhill's repertoire and especially with this latest “Atlas” EP.

Speaking of the themes of his “Atlas” record, Underhill writes, “There are many ways to live your life and you can find answers in many different ways and places. Sometimes you need help, direction and guidance. Just like when you're traveling to a destination, sometimes you need to refer to an 'Atlas' for directions and guidance to help get you there.”

Luke Underhill is an up-and-coming young musician from the Chicago area. His “Atlas” EP is the first of two extended-play albums scheduled to drop from him in May 2015, the second being an unplugged version of “Atlas” with a release date of the 19^th. “Atlas Unplugged” will feature all of the tracks on “Atlas” EP except one, but contain two more songs in total.

Speaking of his start in music, Underhill writes, “I started watching concert videos when I was nine years old and my parents started taking me to Springsteen concerts as they are big 'Bruce' fans. I remember thinking how cool it would be cool to do that. I starting taking guitar lessons, then wrote my first song at 14. Then songs starting flowing as my way of expressing my emotions, frustrations and feelings growing up. I started exploring every genre of music and it has become big part of my life and always will be regardless of where my music career takes me.”

“Atlas” by Luke Underhill is available online worldwide beginning 12 May 2015, produced by famous UK producer Stuart Epps (Elton John, Robbie Williams, George Harrison, Oasis).
