- Roger Jaeger’s ‘Wander’ Will Hit Home For Every Restless Soul
Roger Jaeger’ s “Wander” is no sugar-coated anthem. This heartfelt track captures the tug-of-war between the thrill of exploring and the grounding pull of home—a theme that resonates deeply with Jaeger, whose life has been shaped by travel and discovery. Born in Oklahoma, Jaeger has journeyed across countries and continents, and each place has left its mark on his music. Now settled in the serene landscapes of Redding, California, he blends Americana and folk influences with a grounded, soulful touch. In “Wander,” you can feel the weight of his experiences in lines like “Nomad's heart so my soul can’t sink its roots / Clock into another dead end shift / My brain goes off another what if cliff / Never realized just how many shades are hidden inside silver lining’s views,” expressing some restlessness amidst the reflection of life. Jaeger collaborated with Nashville songwriter Tripp Weir to infuse an intimate feel into “Wander.” Together, they’ve crafted a song that captures the bittersweet balance between curiosity and comfort, especially in the goosebump-worthy chorus that hits hard with Jaeger’s smooth, contemplative vocals. Jaeger ’s grounded approach to music has built him a loyal fanbase, from vineyards and breweries to more intimate venues. In his music and performances, Jaeger is the same—a traveler, storyteller, and soul-searcher who carries pieces of every place he’s been. Thanks for joining us, Roger! Your music has such a rich, soulful quality. Your latest song, “Wander,” explores the tension between curiosity and a longing for home. How does this theme reflect where you’re at in life right now? Well, I think it can be pretty relatable for many traveling musicians. I’ve seen a lot of places - I’ve moved from Oklahoma to Nashville, to India, back to Oklahoma, back to Nashville, then to Northern California. I’ve flown across the ocean maybe forty-something times. I’ve seen most of our 50 states (5 or 6 to go!). I’ve had so many experiences traveling that I am grateful for, but many of them have been so lonely. I think of waking up alone in the Florida Keys or in the Rocky Mountains, surrounded by beauty but having no one to share it with. I’m ready to start a family, but I also feel the pull of adventure. And I want to both well. In “Wander,” you describe yourself as “prone to wander.” Do you think you’ll ever feel fully settled or is wandering just part of who you are? In my peak Nashville days, I spent about four months of the year out on the road. I had some wonderful experiences but found that much of them were colored by how alone I felt. My travel has slowed down post-Covid, and I find so much value in investing time and relationships in the community where I live. How did collaborating with Nashville songwriter Tripp Weir on 'Wander' help shape the song’s direction?” I’ve written with Tripp several times now, and I’m convinced that he’s a lyrical genius. Going into our session, I brought the intro guitar riff, and Tripp sort of took off with this Wander vs Wonder idea that captured where many of us musicians are. I wish I could write to him all the time - I think I would learn a lot. You’ve moved around quite a bit, from Oklahoma to Nashville, then California. What has living in California brought out in you that Nashville or Oklahoma didn’t? I needed to get out of Oklahoma to start finding my own way. What did it look like to go to a new place, make new friends, and test myself against many people from many places? I got to do things in Nashville that I never would have done had I stayed in Oklahoma. But I also got tired. Moving to a quiet, picturesque California town helped me slow down and find meaning in the simple. The contrast is interesting, as I meet many folks here who tell me their grandparents came from Oklahoma or some state nearby. It’s almost like I found long-lost family. But it’s been beautiful to be surrounded by people who aren’t trying to become famous and to establish myself as a serious musical contender in Northern California. I’ve grown in confidence here, and I’m able to bring that with me when I visit Nashville these days. What has been the most surprising thing you’ve learned about yourself through your music since you started creating? At different times, I’ve written songs and thought that there was no way I could write anything else. I thought I’d exhausted subjects to write about and that there was no way I could get better, both lyrically and musically. But I keep finding new ways to express myself. There are so many things to write about, and I know that I’ll do it for the rest of my life.
- Lucas O’Connor Finds Freedom In New Beginnings On “Boston”
The German-American singer-songwriter discusses his debut album “All At Once,” the transformative power of “Boston,” and the complexities of identity. There are two kinds of people in life: those who wallow in circumstances outside of their control and those who make the most of it. German-American singer-songwriter Lucas O’Connor falls into the latter. Having lived in Nuremberg, Germany, until age 18, O’Connor’s experience was that of an outsider. Known as “The American” at school but as “The German” whenever he visited his second home, O’Connor learned from an early age that it’s impossible to place people into different boxes, an insight that would later profoundly influence his music. O’Connor learned from an early age that people are multifaceted and complex, which helped him understand himself and his place in the world. Born in 2003, he was exposed to both ’90s and early 2000s culture, making his musical influences similarly multifaceted. Keeping with these themes, on his debut album “All At Once,” Lucas O’Connor captures the duality of transformation—how life shifts both gradually and suddenly. A poignant exploration of growth, heartbreak, and rediscovery, the album unfolds as a deeply personal narrative. It begins in the depths of loss and heartbreak, only to emerge with renewed self-love and clarity. The fifth track of “All At Once,” “Boston” is the turning point in this story. Written mid-flight from Munich to Boston, O’Connor’s lyrics crystallize the liberation from starting anew. “Distance brings fondness / But in my case it’s freedom,” he sings, setting the tone for a song that celebrates unburdening oneself from the past. Inspired by Suki Waterhouse’s dreamy, bittersweet soundscapes, the track balances melancholy with an undercurrent of empowerment. The lyrics, reflective and resolute, culminate in a cathartic goodbye: “And if moving on / Means letting go / Then goodbye, good riddance / Thank you for the show.” O’Connor’s connection to Boston— and its untainted memories of family and possibility, makes the lights of the city seem to shine ever brighter. Welcome to Buzz, Lucas O’Connor! We loved your new release, “Boston”! We wanted to ask if “All At Once" explores the duality of transformation. How did this theme come to define your debut album, and how does it reflect your personal journey? Discovering the core theme and concept of the album was a happy coincidence. As I always do, I was sitting in bed past midnight, reflecting and writing, and then it just came to me. Going through lows and highs, changing course, overthinking everything, discovering new passions, and actively witnessing personal growth is the universal experience everyone says occurs when they leave their teens behind. I was having that intrinsically human experience where it just feels like everything is happening, well… all at once. This sudden realization was extremely comforting, and the suddenness also alludes to the second meaning of the album title: you feel like the world is throwing everything it possibly can at you, and then all it takes is one little moment for everything to make sense and click into place. Growing up between two cultures, you’ve said you often felt like an outsider. How has this experience shaped your approach to songwriting and storytelling in music? I believe that the experience really made me value genuine friendships and connections. With my friends, I didn’t have to pretend to be one thing or the other - German or American - because they just accepted the fact that it’s possible for someone to be both. What a thought! Ironically, a lot of people from either culture can’t really grasp that concept. In front of others, I would often have to be “only German” or “only American,” and it still happens a lot that people will adopt a “you wouldn’t understand” tone when talking to me. The worst part of the rejection of understanding I mentioned earlier would actually be when topics would shift toward politics. I would be at fault for - or would have to explain - all the craziness going down in America, and of course, vice versa, too. It really teaches you how dense a lot of people are and how unwilling they can be to understand a situation that is not theirs. I guess in that way, writing songs was a natural progression for me because, at the end of the day — as cliché as it may sound — almost everyone can understand music. “Boston” is a standout track on the album, serving as a turning point in the narrative. What about the city and that specific moment in your life inspired the song’s themes of freedom and renewal? After a messy breakup, I took a plane to Boston the following summer to visit my family. I really don’t know how to explain it other than some sort of eureka moment. I thought to myself: “Wait a second, she has never been here, and she probably never will be. Boston is entirely mine”. It felt like winning first prize after a contest that you thought would never end. Boston also has something innately homey about it. Since I was a little kid, I’ve been going there, and it always felt like a place where anything was possible. It was a city that I only associated with childhood feelings of family and summertime freedom. It was a huge relief to realize that even after all the turmoil I had gone through, that city hadn’t changed for me. Your music blends influences from rustic acoustic sounds to retro-modern synth-pop. How do you balance these elements to create a sound that feels both nostalgic and contemporary? There are two factors that greatly contribute to that. On the one hand, my favorite artists have taught me well. The likes of Taylor Swift, Conan Gray, Lizzy McAlpine, and FINNEAS combine both singer/songwriter and more modern, edgy pop sound into their aesthetics and soundscapes. In the weeks before and after my album came out, I had Lizzy McAlpine’s “Five Seconds Flat” on a constant loop, and I feel like that album perfectly encapsulates that feeling of being contemporary yet timeless music. The same can be said about Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” and Conan Gray’s “Found Heaven.” Though stylistically very different, both albums had a profound impact on the process of making All At Once. On the other hand, I worked together with a producer — the multi-talented Aaron Morton (@aarmormixes) — who has the unique ability to really understand which direction I wanted to go in as a songwriter and a vocalist, a key quality that distinguishes a good producer from a truly great one. We met through our studies at Berklee College of Music’s online program and have worked together ever since. Aaron is a multi-instrumentalist and a complete production wizard. I would send him lyrics and a voice memo, some songs that inspired me at the time, and he would come up with epic instrumentals that sounded exactly like the sound I wanted, and crucially, they sounded like me. All of this happened with me living in Europe and Aaron in Florida, so just imagine what we’ll come up with once we’re actually in the same room. What’s next for Lucas O’Connor, and is there anything you’d like to say to your fans? Well, I don’t want to give away too much, but I will say that I am always writing. It never stops, and neither do I when it comes to planning, scheming, and coming up with new ideas. More content will come soon, though, because I really want to get into singing and filming cover songs. Definitely make sure to follow me on Instagram (@lucasoconnorr) to see when I post my first cover this December! Finally, as always, I am so unbelievably grateful to anyone who takes the time to listen to my music and dive headfirst into the world I’m building. I have dreamed about becoming a singer and making music for as long as I can remember, and every piece of support, every small gesture, and every compliment is helping me reach that goal. It does not go unnoticed, and I appreciate it so deeply.

- Emu Glitter Sparkles With Their Dazzling Debut Singles, "Resurrect Me" / "Tamarind & Lime"
Emerging like a phoenix from the vibrant music scene of Fremantle, Emu Glitter's debut double single, "Resurrect Me" and "Tamarind & Lime," is a spellbinding mix of theatricality, introspection, and a dose of cheeky edge. This four-piece band wastes no time carving out a niche with their bold blend of 70s glam rock, early 2000s pop-rock, and modern-day alt-rock ingenuity. Kicking things off with "Resurrect Me," this record offers an anthemic pulse led by melodic keyboard riffs and uplifting harmonies. Frontman Jack Crooks delivers lyrics dripping with raw vulnerability, narrating a journey of self-discovery and growth that’s as cathartic as it is catchy. It’s the type of track that feels tailor-made for stadium singalongs while still tugging at personal heartstrings, which, to us, is the ultimate feat. On the other hand, "Tamarind & Lime" plunges headfirst into theatrical rock territory with a 6/8 waltz groove that’s anything but conventional. Crooks’ soaring falsetto shifts from tender to ferocious, mirroring the song’s biting critique of monotony and consumer excess. Written during a shift at a butcher shop, of all places, the track layers its societal reflections with psychedelic metaphors and cutting observations, making it as thought-provoking as it is utterly entertaining. Recorded live in the studio, both tracks capture the essence of Emu Glitter’s dynamic chemistry, blending intricate arrangements with an unmistakable warmth. With Jack’s poignant lyrical motifs, Nate Jombwe’s riveting basslines, Vanessa Millar’s bittersweet harmonies on the guitar, and Simon Martin’s impactful percussion, the band delivers a sound that’s delightfully eclectic yet harmoniously cohesive. For a debut single launch, Emu Glitter dazzles their audience with a release that’s as colorful, tangy, and unforgettable as their name suggests. We're stoked to know there's more where this came from, but in the meantime, this double feature remains on repeat.
- Join John Jackson In His Emotively Labyrinthic Indie Britpop EP, ‘Tomorrow’
Imagine if Blur decided to throw a therapy session and invited their indie cousins to spill some heartfelt truths. That’s the vibe John Jackson delivers in his debut EP, Tomorrow . This isn’t just an introduction—it’s a soulful handshake followed by a bear hug from the Britpop-meets-indie cosmos. Buckle up, folks, because we’re diving headfirst into the emotional ocean Jackson has so expertly charted. The opening track, “Tomorrow,” doesn’t just gently knock on your door; it whispers existential truths through the letterbox while leaving you a mixtape of grief and hope on the doormat. With echoes of classic Britpop expansiveness, Jackson stitches melancholy and resilience into a soundscape that feels like walking through a foggy London park—introspective, cinematic, and oddly comforting. Then comes “Save Heaven,” the EP’s heartbreaker-in-chief. With its orchestral swells and magnetic rhythms, this track feels like staring into the void and finding it staring back—but with a really great soundtrack. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to hug your friends while crying over an overpriced cup of tea. Jackson’s voice doesn’t just sing; it narrates an allegory of isolation with the precision of a poet and the pathos of someone who’s definitely been stood up at least once. Finally, “Hero” swoops in like the emotional rescue mission we didn’t know we needed. It’s got all the triumphant feels of an underdog story but with a side of Britpop grit. The unexpected heroism theme is like a cinematic crescendo in song form, and if you’re not feeling at least a little invincible by the end, check your pulse. John Jackson’s Tomorrow isn’t just an EP; it’s an audio diary that feels deeply personal and universally relatable. If this is his debut, we can’t wait to see what’s next—though I’ll be emotionally preparing myself for another rollercoaster. Britpop fans, indie lovers, and anyone with a soul: this one’s for you.

- A Backstage Pass to the 1970s: Iconic Music Moments Captured In Exclusive Backstage Photos
The 1970s — a time when the world was in flux, and music was its loud, unapologetic soundtrack. The post-Beatles decade was the bridge between the idealism of the '60s and the gritty reality of the '80s. It was a time when soul, rock, disco, and punk collided in a glorious cacophony. Artists weren't just making music; they were waging protests against wars, social injustice, and the rapid transformation of the American Dream. They were the voice of a generation looking for meaning in a world that seemed to be losing its grip on what had come before. But what about what was happening behind the music? You know, the chaos that unfolded in the dressing rooms, the quirky moments that didn’t make it into the album liner notes, the backstage antics that often had more drama than the concerts themselves? These were the moments where legends were born—and often, where they lost their minds (and their clothes). The Soul of the '70s: A Symphony of Chaos and Revolution The music of the '70s didn’t just tell a story; it became the story. From soul’s smooth, heart-thumping rhythms to rock’s rebellious roar, from disco’s glitzy, glittery glam to punk’s raw, unfiltered anger, it was a decade of musical exploration that reshaped the landscape of contemporary sound. But the true spirit of the '70s didn’t just emerge on stage—it was often shaped by the frenzy of backstage moments. The Rolling Stones, for example, were no strangers to backstage mayhem. Known for their rock and roll decadence, they had a legendary penchant for throwing after-parties that could rival the wildest of their concerts. Mick Jagger? He was a master at balancing his rock god persona with a knack for keeping things just unpredictable enough to ensure the press stayed captivated. And let’s not even get started on their impromptu jam sessions, where musicians, who were sometimes just as high on life as on substances, would create magic—or utter chaos. Meanwhile, artists like Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder were out to prove that soul was more than just music—it was a movement. But that didn’t mean they didn’t have their moments of unfiltered fun offstage. Imagine Aretha Franklin, known for her commanding stage presence, cracking jokes and sharing stories with her band, all while keeping a tight grip on her diva status. Or Stevie Wonder, in his own world of musical genius, sometimes stopping mid-concert just to give a heartfelt speech about social justice. Disco Balls, Polyester Suits, and the Birth of Glitter In the glittering world of disco, the ‘70s were ruled by sequins, platform shoes, and the kind of decadent nightlife that would make your grandmother clutch her pearls. The likes of Donna Summer, the Bee Gees, and Gloria Gaynor were constantly on the move, making music that practically oozed out of the dance floors and into the very fabric of the decade. But what most fans didn’t see was the hyperactive energy behind the scenes as these artists juggled choreography, endless rehearsals, and the often-absurd demands of the disco lifestyle. Consider the legendary Studio 54—the club that wasn’t just a nightclub; it was a cultural icon. Backstage at Studio 54 was a circus of famous faces, extravagant costumes, and unpredictable celebrity encounters. The line between performer and fan blurred as icons like David Bowie and Liza Minnelli rubbed elbows with regular club-goers who probably didn’t even know who the stars were. But then again, in the '70s, who really cared about boundaries when the music was this intoxicating? Punk: The Anarchy of Behind-the-Scenes Then there was punk. An anti-establishment movement that shredded convention and embraced chaos, the punk scene of the '70s was the antithesis of everything else going on in the music world. Backstage at punk concerts was often as rebellious as the music itself. Bands like The Sex Pistols and The Ramones didn’t do things by the book—they ripped up the book and used it as kindling for their post-show bonfire. These punk rockers were known for their reckless energy and their ability to start trouble even when they weren’t on stage. The attitude was: "We don’t care." They didn’t care about conventions, they didn’t care about being polished, and they didn’t care about the rules. Backstage, it was a controlled disaster of torn clothes, broken equipment, and uncensored rants. But when they hit the stage? Total chaos—and total genius. The Real Revolution: What We Didn’t See The 1970s was a decade of massive social change—and in many ways, the musicians of the era were the ones leading the charge. From protesting against war to giving voice to the disenfranchised, they weren’t just rocking the world; they were shaking it up in ways no one expected. And though most of these changes were visible on stage, they were equally powerful behind the scenes. Behind every hit record, every chart-topping single, and every iconic live performance was a behind-the-scenes crew of rock stars, fashion rebels, and social revolutionaries. Backstage, it wasn’t just about the music—it was about creating something bigger. Something that would last. And, for better or worse, something that would make the '70s a decade to remember. In the end, the ‘70s wasn’t just about the music—it was about everything that happened around it. And if you were lucky enough to catch a glimpse backstage, you’d see that the chaos, rebellion, and fun didn’t end when the lights went down. In fact, that’s when the real party began. The Best Iconic Music Moments Captured in Exclusive Backstage Photos In conclusion, the 1970s stand as a remarkable era of cultural and musical upheaval, where the backstage chaos, raw rebellion, and unscripted moments contributed to the creation of the iconic music that defined the decade. Artists didn’t just challenge social norms through their songs—they embodied revolution in their off-stage antics, creating a lasting legacy that transcended the stage. The vibrant worlds of rock, soul, disco, and punk converged in both the spotlight and behind closed doors, where anything was possible. The '70s wasn’t merely a time of musical exploration—it was a period when music, attitude, and culture collided in a kaleidoscope of creativity and anarchy. The true spirit of the decade lies not just in the songs that became anthems but in the untold stories, the unsung moments, and the chaos that fueled it all. The ‘70s were, undoubtedly, a time when the real revolution was happening not just on stage—but behind the scenes, where legends were made and lost and where the party never truly ended.
