We're fully aware that verrrrry few people listen to our music (that's OK; you're the special ones), but every now and again we get a photo like this and it absolutely warms our hearts. 💞 Thank you for sharing! 🥰

The Witherlove album was mostly recorded almost a year ago now. These days, we are looking for reasons to laugh, and we wanted to put this chaotic joy out into the world. We sincerely hope you'll laugh along with us, at us, or in whatever way brings you happiness and peace. 💕 #lytalina #bloopers

Y'all, I'm so weird for this, but I want to start a musician/general music industry business card collection/directory. Does anyone have any awesome business cards? A physical one would be super cool, but I'll take digital ones, too. 👀 - Alina

Walked away for just a couple of minutes and came back to find this gorgeous banjo keeping Gal (Lytal's bass) company. 😍

We hadn't thought to mention it here until now– Lytal is a #vocalcoach and uploads weekly videos on YouTube. Last week's #musicmonday video was an in-depth look at the vocal performance of Nathan Hunt (Shaman's Harvest) in their 2009 song "Dragonfly".
🎶
This week, Mozart's "Voi che sapete".

Dragonfly - Shaman's Harvest (Isolated Vocals Ear Training Exercise)

This video is intended to help vocal students focus on the melody of a song. Listen to a section, pause the video, and vocalize by ear what you just heard. This practice will help you to strengthen…
