Connie Lansberg is a singer/songwriter who performs original Pop-Jazz and Smooth Jazz on her latest release, High Expectations.

She is a vocal interpreter of the wonderful stories told by the American Song Book and beyond.

The indie artist uses her voice in such a way as to reveal and tease out even the most subtle of nuances that define these beautiful songs.

Reminiscent of Blossom Dearie and June Christy, but with the modern edge of Sade and Sting, Connie Lansberg creates light and shade and sings with an unselfconscious joy that is truly infectious and enfolds the listener within the melody so that each performance is a shared experience that leaves no one out.

Gabe Hizer is a Nashville, TN-based singer-songwriter, originally from Long Island, NY. He attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, played in various rock and pop cover bands in the 70s, and more recently led a blues band for a couple of years. He is now performing as a solo artist, featuring his complex guitar arrangements, well-crafted songs, and wide vocal range.

He is clearly influenced by the singer-songwriters of the ’60s and ’70s, such as James Taylor (especially in his guitar parts), Joni Mitchell (especially his use of high falsetto notes), Jackson Browne, etc.

A born musician, Gabe Hizer was already playing the accordion at the age of 6, the ukulele by the time he was 8 and the guitar by age 9. Known for his amazing guitar skills and his ability to incorporate blues, jazz, soul and pop into his original songs, Gabe has come a long way since his ukulele-days.

Songwriters can have a difficult time showcasing their talent and getting feedback about their work. With ClownBasket.com, they now have the forum to expose their projects worldwide.

“ClownBasket is the place for original songwriters and musicians to share their own music with the world,” the founders state on the Web site. “It is the place for music lovers who appreciate original music.”

The Web site differentiates itself from other sites, because it allows artists to enhance their music.

“Some bands will use ClownBasket to push their music in order to drive traffic to their live music performances,” they add on the site. “Some songwriters will use ClownBasket to test and enhance their music.”

” And some of us members are washed up musicians who are no longer “living the dream” and yet still have music that we want to share.”

The Web site makes it simple for users to start uploading their music right way.  An artist just needs to create a band profile and will then have the option to upload their original music.

The creators also made the site guest friendly. A person does not have to be a member of Clown Basket in order for them to listen to music. Furthermore, you would need to login in order to upload, download, and leave comments for artists.

They emphasis on the site, “Upload your original songs and let the rest of us get exposed to what you have created!”
