Kristian Phillip Valentino New Track Released – Wind, Hail, and Snow
Kristian Phillip Valentino is a solo acoustic, singer-songwriter born and raised in the Chicago suburbs and now residing in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. After the passing of his father, ending up homeless, and being broken up with all within one month, Kristian began writing songs in the summer of 2010, as a way to start processing all he’d been through and begin the healing process.
This song, “Wind, Hail, and Snow” is the beginning of the Winter portion. The song is one of the inevitable decisions that must be made and the love story is now starting to end.
From 2010 until 2016 Kristian went under the moniker Ramblin’ Pan. This project was an Alt-Country, Folk sound that was heavily influenced by Ryan Adams, Mumford, and Sons, and Johnny Cash. He released 1 EP, “A Prodigals Tale” and 1 self-titled LP under the moniker.
His musical palette falls between the lines of indie-folk, singer-songwriter, and Americana. Fans of Gregory Alan Isakov, Iron and Wine, and Jason Isbell, will feel comfortable here.
Kristian is currently releasing his first full-length record, “For everything, there is a season” one song at a time. The new album is a concept record based on the 4 seasons Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. The plot is a love story that starts in Spring and weaves through the other seasons leading to a breakup in the Winter. There are 12 songs, 3 for each season and Kristian is currently releasing 1 song a month for the next year starting in March 2021. The album was recorded in Kansas City, MO, and Claas P Jambor was the producer.
He also went on several national tours in various coffee shops and venues across the USA. In the summer of 2016, Kristian decided to take a break from music after years of constant touring and some deeply traumatic family experiences.
In 2019, Kristian had several life changes; including moving to Asheville,NC, getting married and working through the healing process of the traumatic family events he experienced before his break in 2016. In August of 2020, he finished recording an album that was started in 2016.
The new album is a concept record based on the 4 seasons Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. The plot is a love story that starts in Spring and weaves through the other seasons leading to a breakup in the Winter. Although it ends as a sad story, it’s a story that will resonate with many others and hopefully can be a healing balm of hope
Kristian Phillip Valentino works best on Country Americana, Indie folk, Indie pop, Singer-songwriter, Creative, Experimental, Good vibes, Unique, Indie, Meaningful lyrics, Original, Early project, On stage experience, and Unsigned artist.

Dirty Hands Nation sings don’t follow blindly, do your research with latest release “Due Deligence”
Dirty Hands Nation comes out swinging with a strong message on “Due Diligence,” a daring single that harnesses frustration, awareness, and determination in a bold musical statement. It is more than a song; it is a call to question narratives, challenge assumptions, and think critically about the systems that shape everyday life.
“Due Diligence” is a phrase that encapsulates a philosophy that you should only stand up for what matters after consideration and research. The track itself is guided by the title in its entirety. Dirty Hands Nation emphasizes that conviction is not about going along with the crowd, and encourages its audience to dig deeper into matters before deciding.
Where the song works best is in its direct engagement with politics and economics. It raises questions of war, government spending, inflation, corporate power, health care, and the financial burden on regular people. The track talks about these issues, not as abstract ideas, but from the point of view of regular people who are most affected by these decisions.
Dirty Hands Nation delivers a passionate, thought-provoking release with purpose and conviction in “Due Diligence.” It’s a track that’s meant to spark conversation, challenge complacency, and remind us that opinions of consequence are built on inquiry, understanding, and due diligence.

Red Eye Wright unveils an eye-opener with spotlight verses on latest release “Alicia Keynote”
Red Eye Wright drops his newest single, “Alicia Keynote,” with confidence and conviction, a song that is built upon lyrical sharpness, memorable punchlines, and a vocal presence that will not be overlooked. This song is filled with rap lines that display both ambition and personality, and it sounds like a proclamation from an artist who is eager to leave his mark.
“Alicia Keynote” lives from its relentless energy and wordplay from the first moments. Red Eye Wright’s vocal texture is one of the strongest assets on the track, he carries each line with a kind of authority and character that lends itself naturally to a rapper who’s concerned with making every bar count. His delivery is assured, not forced, letting the lyrics take centre stage.
“You don’t know it, but you’re going to know my name. It’s a line that sums up the song’s spirit in a nutshell, a combination of self-belief, determination, and hunger. The lyric feels less like a boast and more like a mission statement, a window for listeners into the mind that powered the record.
Another good line is “who’s to say what’s the right way to say anything when music goes over your head like say anything,” which shows the creative thinking behind the writing. It demonstrates Red Eye Wright’s love of playing with language, challenging expectations, and generating moments that reward the attentive listener.
Red Eye Wright delivers a statement piece in “Alicia Keynote” that’s packed with memorable bars, distinctive vocal character, and unrelenting ambition. It’s the sound of an artist introducing himself with conviction, and keeping his name in the conversation.
