Marshall Harner Impresses With New Single “Weather”
Rising singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Marshall Harner has returned with his brand-new single, “Weather”, featuring Ben Tsakopulos. The self-produced track is the first single taken from new album When The Night Was Just The Time When We Could Fall Asleep (out 28th January). Hailing from Gaithersburg, Maryland, Marshall has been steadily building his fanbase with a string of well-received releases over the past two years, such as last year’s Daydream, and “Weather” looks set to continue his momentum and kickstart what promises to be an exciting year for him.
Stirring elements of R&B and hip-hop, Marshall showcases his full range of talents on “Weather”, with the track highlighting the versatility and different textures to his vocals. His polished production skills are also on full display, with the track’s head-nodding hip-hop production sure to be a hit with listeners. Enhanced further by Marshall’s candid songwriting and knack for infectious melodies, “Weather” has endless replay value and all the right ingredients to be another success.
Speaking further on the release, Marshall says, “‘Weather’ is a song about the end of a good thing. I wrote it with Ben Tsakopulos, and the track covers our shared past experiences with losing someone close to us. I created the instrumental for the track during a studio session with Ben, and over the next few weeks, we perfected the harmonies for the chorus, recorded our verses and mixed and mastered the track together.”
A huge talent at the top of his game who can do it all and is involved in all aspects of his artistry from singing, songwriting and producing to mixing and mastering, it’s clear Marshall Harner is a special talent. With no signs of slowing down anytime soon and a busy year ahead with the release of his new album, Marshall will surely be one to watch out for in 2022. “Weather” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://marshallharner.lnk.to/weather.

Aaron Koenig Releases Ska Anthem for Geeks
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
