The Music Meeting maintains a playlist of the best new music for grown ups on Spotify, with a lucky 13 songs that you might not yet be familiar with but will probably love. Here are some of the songs on this week's Music For Grown-Ups playlist

If you read this blog, you know I love Eric Hutchinson.  Here's his latest song,Watching You Watch Him

Seal is back with another CD of soul Classics called Soul 2 and the first song off the CD is a remake of the classic Al Green song Let's Stay Together

I think one of the true rising stars and undiscovered talents is Rebecca Ferguson.  Her debut CD is already out in the U.K., but it comes out in the U.S. on May 29th.  For now, we can enjoy her song Nothing's Real But Love

Those are just a few of the songs on the Music For Grown-Ups playlist on Spotify.  Check it out for the songs you're going to be singing for years to come!

The Music Meeting Has Moved!

Well, not exactly MOVED, as in physically, just moved on the Interwebz.

You can find the latest in music news and info for grown-ups at musicmeeting.co.  Hopefully a little easier to remember and tell your friends about.  You can still sign up for e mails when new posts are unleashed on the world and get RSS feeds should you be into that kind of fun.

See you soon at musicmeeting.co!

Welcome To The Music Meeting!

Welcome to another Mark Edwards blog, The Music Meeting.

To make a long story short, I've been a radio programmer for a very long time, and like many others in radio, found myself downsized out of my job in October of 2011.  In some ways, that was a blessing.  One of those ways is that I can now listen to music like a regular person, not a radio programmer worried about the length of the intro, if it has a "hook", a catchy thing listeners will remember, and if I can get the artist to do a concert for my radio station.

After leaving my last job, I've started a firm, Mark Edwards Worldwide, that helps businesses and artists use the internet and social media in ways they've never imagined.  I've also started a news feed of the latest news in the online, social media, and marketing worlds here.

So I've been cleansed of all those toxins and am listening to music like a real person again.  I'll share the things I find with you on this blog, give you some music news and background, and look for music that grown ups like to hear.  Not the "thumpa thumpa" or auto-tune stuff the kids listen to, but real music by real artists.  And I'll let you know when I don't like something as well.  The opinions you read here are mine, and hopefully you'll let me know in the comments if you agree or disagree with me.

So sit back, enjoy, subscribe to the posts, and enjoy The Music Meeting!
