Josh Hoke Releases Debut Album "Ghosts and Glory"
Josh Hoke delivers his highly anticipated
debut album, “Ghosts and Glory,” available on Amazon.com, iTunes, and all major
music sites.
Portland, OR, March 07, 2013 --(PR.com)-- “Ghosts and Glory” is a collection of songs written and
performed by Portland-based singer/songwriter Josh Hoke. The album has 10 tracks
that reflect the recent folk resurgence. “What started out as a simple acoustic
project quickly evolved into a more musically abstract collection of songs.
Adding banjo was an early decision,” said Hoke, who performed multiple roles on
every track. ”Adding other musicians and bringing in additional talent gave each
song its own feel, and was an unexpectedly fun part of the project. We wanted
this to be an album you could listen to from start to finish, so deciding
exactly which songs should appear on the record was an interesting
challenge.”
Hoke originally hails from Indianapolis and relocated to Portland, Oregon in 2011. Since arriving in Portland he has become a mainstay among the burgeoning folk music scene that has recently infiltrated the Northwest. “The Portland community of artists is very welcoming,” said Hoke. “I’m very grateful to have landed among a group of people that is so accepting of new musicians and open to working and performing together. The essence of the album definitely stems from my roots, but the final product absolutely reflects all the artists from the greater Northwest that have influenced me over the past two years.”
The LP is produced by Dave Beatty of BentBeat Productions. They began collaborating in early 2012. “Josh initially caught our attention as a solo act, performing locally. It was immediately apparent to us that his style of music and level of talent would be a good match for the BentBeat Label,” said Beatty. “We spent a lot of time working with Josh and his musicians to create a project that would be accessible to anyone who turned on a radio yet truly unique to Josh’s style and vision. ‘Ghosts and Glory’ definitely achieves that, and we are super proud of Josh for this fantastic first release.”
The full length CD “Ghosts and Glory” is available for purchase on Amazon.com or can be downloaded from iTunes, Spotify, and all major music sites.

BentBeat Productions Releases Their First Full-Length Album, "Country Girl"
Vancouver, WA, July 20, 2012 --(PR.com)-- BentBeat Productions, a focused music label located in
Vancouver, Washington, releases their first commercial full-length project:
"Country Girl - Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack."
“Country Girl - Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack” is a compilation of songs written, performed, and produced by BentBeat for the movie “Country Girl,” independently released in 2012. The album has 15 tracks that showcase various musical styles. “Even though the movie was about a country singer, we wanted to show both how flexible music could be in its styling and how versatile we could be with our production,” said producer Dave Beatty, who performed all of the original music for the movie and the soundtrack. “The character was written to perform pop-country songs in the movie, but the soundtrack contains two different versions of almost every song. The project includes the film version and an additional version that takes the same song in an entirely different musical direction.” Among the various musical genres the soundtrack contains are classic rock, pop rock, singer-songwriter, and dance remixes.
“One of the great features of the soundtrack are the performances by guest artists who joined the production, each with a different musical style,” said Beatty. “It was interesting to include these artists that vary so much in style, because that is really what BentBeat is all about.”
The label began official operation in 2011 and has been working actively to recruit artists for representation. As with the songs on the soundtrack, these artists vary greatly in their musical genres and styling. “We’ve worked with everyone from acoustic singer-songwriters to metal bands,” Beatty explained. “The soundtrack is a great illustration of the label’s versatile recording and production capabilities.” With the exception of the three guest performances all songs on the soundtrack were written by the BentBeat Team, and all recording and production was performed at BentBeat Studios. “We have a great cast of musicians to pull from when we record, and our engineers and producers are experienced and top-notch,” said Beatty. “You can really hear the talent and professionalism of the final recording. Artists who come to BentBeat can expect to get a quality-level product that showcases their sound and reflects who they are as a musician.”
The full length CD, “Country Girl - Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack,” is available for purchase on amazon.com, or download from iTunes, Spotify, Rhapsoldy, and many other download sites.
