A Voice of Your Own
Indie Rock Cinco De Mayo Fiesta 2019
The 2nd Annual “Indie Rock Fest/Cinco De Mayo Fiesta” was amazing this year and the line up was simply fantastic. While a day before the Cinco, it was a show full of good vibes, great music and a heck of a party. To call it jam packed really does not cover all of the musical goodness from the local community packed under one roof! Bands covered Americana, shoe gaze, rock and Indie Rock and Roll. Many thanks to the bands who played — A Voice of Your Own, The Boxcar Suite, The Typical Johnsons, The 1984 Draft, Neo-American Pioneers, Slow Glows and Kyleen Downes.

Lyrics: she’s in her white dress, she doesn’t have any shoes on, she’s standing at the end of the driveway, watching the sun set, she’s been dreaming of places much better than here, somewhere west… she said “can you take me for a ride, I want to get the hell out of this little town, and make a name for myself” she’s in her white dress, she’s waiting on her new boyfriend, she’s standing at the end of the driveway, watching the cars pass, she envisions a place much better than here, somewhere west… she said “can you take me for a ride, I want to get the hell out of this little town, and make a name for myself” she’s dreaming of the west coast, she’s got a gun in her hand, she said “baby you’re like magic tonight, with tattoos and pentagrams” she’s dreaming of the west coast, she’s got a gun in her hand, she said “I’ll write this down this time, so I wont ever forget”
A Voice of Your Own on YTAA Today!
Today from 3-6pm at YTAA we are joined in the studio from the fine lads in A Voice of Your Own who will talk about their latest record, “Vines on the Lines” and upcoming shows in our local area, and how to get just the right feeling on a song. The music that AVOYO make is reminiscent of 90’s alternative music in the best possible sense!
A Voice Of Your Own blends traditional pop song structures, and low fi indie influences with a hands-on DIY approach that connects and pays homage to their musical influences while sounding fresh and contemporary. AVOYO draws from a variety of different skilled artists and musicians such as Tom Petty, The Cars, Beck, and The White Stripes which is some pretty damn fine company! AVOYO started as a solo project formed by producer, guitarist, and song writer James Crabtree. As a solo project, AVOYO had previously independently released two full length albums. Today the band has evolved into a full dynamic group.
A Voice of Your Own have a new record “Vines On The Lines” that has been available since February. The band currently consists of James Crabtree (guitar/vocals), Johnny McConnell (bass), Levi Short (guitar/vocals) Tylur Kahnle (guitar) and Matt Mihalus (drums). We welcome them to the YTAA studio this week!
