Across Dailey Blend Channels & Personal Projects

  • Throwback Thursday 

    • Last week we featured 90’s Rock band the Toadies  - Linked Here

      • In the rich tapestry of 90s alternative rock, few bands captured the raw essence of grunge quite like the Toadies. With their signature blend of aggressive riffs, haunting melodies, and introspective lyrics, the band carved out a special place in the hearts of music lovers with their debut album, "Rubberneck." Released in 1994, this iconic record has withstood the test of time, continuing to captivate audiences with its dark charm and unapologetic intensity.

    • This Week’s music Monday was country/pop star Megan Moroney - Linked Here

      • Megan Moroney writes the kind of unforgettably cathartic songs that feel like a heart-to-heart with your most wildly honest friend: she’s tough but sensitive, fun-loving and fiercely witty, and completely unafraid to say what’s on her mind.
