Somehow, music and the holidays go together. But once you've heard all the Christmas songs a few times, you're ready to hear something new, or perhaps you need a bit of an escape from the craziness of the season. Either way, check out One Night Music , which showcases up and coming artists, in a personal way. Each performer sings a song or songs and there are informative, interesting write-ups about each one so you can scan for what you're into.

Several artists on the One Night Music site are environmentally-oriented. Both Ash-El and Treesus sing about humans and their relationship to the Earth, both in totally different and individual ways. Check them out below, and go to the One Night Music site to hear more.

AshEl Eldridge, Spoken Word - Eco Art from Oakland, California from One Night Music on Vimeo.

Ash El's work "aims to cultivate the links between both local and global movements for social justice, spiritual awakening and ecological healing through "edutainment" and other compelling ways to captivate youth and hard to reach populations." Ash-El works with several Bay Area environmental groups as an educator and activist.

 

 

Treesus, Come All Ye Down | One Night Music Session 18 from One Night Music on Vimeo.

Treesus is an organic farmer and folk singer. "Lyrically, as in life, Jacob's relationship to the land on which he lives drives the unique tone of his music. He explores strange guitar progressions and a style born in the greater Sacramento music scene - an area diverse in folk and rock experiments."

Hollywood Blvd will be closed off for three weeks forcing people like me to side-street it all the way to yoga, usually while honking at slow moving Starline Tours vans filled with fans. Okay, maybe it means one other thing - that celebs are being lauded right and left for all their greatness. Hooray for Hollywood!
