We just discovered this beautiful masterpiece “On My Radio” by a talented band called Midnight Canyon. We really can’t get enough of this song, the minute we heard it we got hooked on it and we couldn’t get it out of our heads. The chorus is incredibly catchy and the vocal melodies are so beautiful. The production is polished and there is an amazing level of songwriting that shines up through this record. We enjoyed listening to the guitars until the last second! The vocal performance is more than professional, and the lyrics mesh with the melodies perfectly. This song is a unique experience from start to finish!
ABOUT THE BAND:
Midnight Canyon emerged from an experimental, no expectations, strictly for fun quarantine collaboration between three well respected Chicago artists. With everyone’s schedules wiped clean, Danny Chaimson (whose credits range from O.A.R., Jem, Mike Doughty and Orgone, to Tyga, Solange Knowles, and Mike Posner) called good friends Packy Lundholm (I Fight Dragons, May Erlewine, Woody Goss) and acclaimed singer-songwriter Pat McKillen and scheduled a bunch of sessions to get together and jam.
A direction built on reverence for warm and woody 70’s artists like Jackson Browne and Fleetwood Mac, and robust songwriting paying homage to artists like Dire Straits and Bruce Springsteen quickly emerged.
As the jamming led to songs, the tracks were recorded live, with the help of drummer Jordan Kozer (The Redwalls) and then carefully crafted in Chaimson’s home studio. The result was just too good to keep to themselves, and the band chose 5 favorites to make up their debut EP. The album is an effort marked by expertly fashioned arrangements, genuinely tasteful playing, and contemplative heartfelt lyrics. And it only exists due to Chaimson, Lundholm and McKillen’s mutually sincere love of playing and writing music (and an international pandemic).
