About the Ears
I’m a musician at heart, through to the soul. I’ve been playing guitar and writing music for several decades, and somewhere along the way I started needing to share what I was hearing with anyone who’d listen.
That’s what Single of the Day is. A daily music blog, built around one simple idea: here’s a song you should know about, by an artist worth your time and money.
Every pick fits the mood I’m in or what’s happening in my world that day. It’s always a band or artist I genuinely believe in, one I think you should support by streaming their music, buying it, or getting out to see them play live. And if my taste in others is enough to make you curious about my own music, even better.
Read, listen, and let me know what you think. Did I nail it? Make a terrible call? Get the take completely wrong? Say so. This blog has always been a conversation, and you’re invited.
One honest ask: if you hear something here that you enjoy, please stream it or buy it. I include a direct Apple Music stream link and the artist’s website or store on every post for exactly that reason. Musicians don’t ask you to do your job for free. Please don’t treat ours like it should be either.
Now go explore the archive. There are over 1,800 posts in there and some real gems buried among them. Better yet, bookmark the site and come back every day. Best of all, tell three friends. They tell three. Before long you’re part of a music community that finds a new artist every single day. That’s potentially 365 artists a year you could fall in love with. It’s a lot to take in.
Thanks for reading,
Jody
p.s. – don’t be alarmed if on occasion I post a video instead. It’s been known to happen from time to time, and it’s bound to happen from time to time again.
