Top Music Festivals on the East Coast
Music festivals are, and always will be, a part of my life. They are more than just multi-day concerts; they're celebrations of life, community, and music scenes. Truthfully, music festivals might be pricey, but they often are worth every penny you spend on there.

I love to discover new talent in the music field. It’s so exciting to find an artist or band that you fall in love with instantly and want to support with all your social media stalking capabilities. As an Australian teen who loves supporting Australian acts, I’m going to introduce you to some Aussie artists and bands who I think deserve to be heard. Note, this is purely my opinion and I do suggest looking up more artists and bands from Australia as I couldn’t fit everyone on here. I have listed three musical artists, ranging from the lesser known to the more popular, so I hope you enjoy!

Africa by Toto: the Song That Will Never Die
Over time, the 1980s have become not just a decade of time, but a genre of music. Likely, when you hear the phrase "80s music," you can almost immediately hear a variety of songs playing in the back of your mind. Maybe you think of Michael Jackson or Madonna, or you could be hearing a Bon Jovi or Journey power ballad. Regardless of your opinion on the music you associate with the 80s (because let's face it, some of these are pretty painful), they are undoubtedly synonymous with the time period.

Oughton Tanera's 'Leave the Marked Path' Album Review
It seems this album is about a conflicting relationship where one person is leaving and the other person is holding on for dear life. It is very inspirational, telling the audience that, despite the ups and down of life, there is always something to hold on to and it will be worth it in the end. A spectacular listen! I hope to hear more music coming soon from Oughton Tanera. I would rate this album 8.5/10!
