Hey what’s up, Patrico here again. Happy Wednesday and you know what that means. It’s time for songs from LOCAL STL artists. That’s right, a full hour of us featuring music from folks that are from St. Louis. Eventually I won’t be including intros like this - but this is WEEK 2 so forgive me….But this is something I am incredibly passionate about. I love being from St. Louis and I love music. Why not combine those two loves and use this opportunity of getting back on the air in my hometown to showcase LOCAL MUSIC from the city that I love. That’s what we do. Again…the name of the show is SOUNDS OF STL….so….LET SAINT LOUIS HEAR YOU!
Esteban Solo - Felt That
Let’s let the artist speak for themselves here….we got an email from a local artist by the name of Esteban Solo…and he says…QUOTE: “My sound leans into an Indie Pop style with reflective lyrics and a modern edge. Felt That is one of my favorite songs, and I think it resonates with the kind of heartfelt, authentic vibe that connects with listeners here in St. Louis. I’d love the chance to share it with the community through your platform."
