The Quinn Spinn Five-Point Preview: Sept. 19, 2016
Remember to change the channel – First, it is important to note that live broadcasts of The Quinn Spinn will take place on our YouTube livestream, as opposed to the originally announced Facebook Live. Links to the stream will be shared on Quinn Spinn and Lehigh Valley Underground social media channels, including Facebook and Twitter.
An old friend joins us – DJ Pearlman of hard rock juggernaut REVEL 9 is the only appropriate guest for a season premiere of The Quinn Spinn. You’ve heard DJ’s voice at the beginning of every piece of Quinn Spinn programming since September 2014 by way of REVEL 9’s song, “All I’ve Become.” Tonight, you’ll also hear DJ talk about the band, the industry, and their appearance at Slatington Bike Night this Saturday, September 24.
New music premieres – The season premiere of The Quinn Spinn will feature brand new tunes from #GoodFriendsoftheShow old and new, including Second Player Score, Lemonade Kid, and SloFunkPump.
Local flavor – We have no shortage of tunes from artists native to our home in eastern Pennsylvania, including Michael Meade, Mesa Jane, Roi and the Secret People, Acoustic Kitty Project, and more!
Popular segments return – We’re doing something special tonight by bringing back classic Quinn Spinn segments. Expect to hear some Stupid News with The Quinn, as well as Somethin’ Good a bit later on in the show (formerly Good News with The Quinn).
Michael Meade Provides Hope on ‘One of Those Days’
Artist: Michael Meade
Song: One of Those Days
Genre: Acoustic rock
Release Date TBD
“Everyday Man” Michael Meade is back with new music, releasing a soothing piece of Americana with new single, “One of Those Days.”
With a gentle guitar melody and a folksy baritone, Meade relates to listeners going through life’s everyday trials by first asking, “Did you ever have one of those days you should have stayed in bed?” Lyrically, Meade acknowledges the part of the human condition that leaves us in a funk when nothing is going right, telling the story with a comforting, understanding fatherly presence.
“One of Those Days’” hopeful acoustic guitar tones are equal parts catchy and comforting, lending support to Meade’s vocals as if to sonically communicate, “Whatever you’re going through, it will be OK.” “One of Those Days” is good listening for anyone who needs a pick-me-up, as it shines a ray of light on days when it’s difficult to see through the clouds.
Hear the world premiere of “One of Those Days” on Monday’s season premiere of The Quinn Spinn, 6 p.m. ET on YouTube with replays on SoundCloud, iTunes, and Lehigh Valley Underground.

Album: Everyday Man (LISTEN)
Released: Jan. 18, 2016
Genre: Acoustic Rock/Country/Americana
With a wisdom behind his lyrics and a sound so definitive, it’s hard to believe that “Everyday Man” is Michael Meade’s first original album. Indeed, the long-time cover artist and music instructor joins the original music party with an effort containing the prowess of a veteran songwriter.
Having a sense of satisfaction about one’s place in the world is a recurring theme on “Everyday Man.” On the album’s title track, Meade claims his own imperfections with a sense of comfort that comes with life experience. Meanwhile, the spiritual, perspective-laden “Relevant” visits the walk-on-eggshells mentality that society is often forced to adopt, a theme which is revisited on the bluesy “Never Grow Up,” where Meade proclaims his philosophy to “live life on (his) own terms.”
“Everyday Man” features sweet ballads alongside fun, down-to-earth mid-tempo rock and country tunes. The eight-track offering is tied together with Meade’s powerful, soulful voice and profound worldview, and is a great first offering from an artist with a lot to say.
