Open Your Soul to Seal! {Giveaway Closed}

I’ve readily admitted to being a music lover.  I’m also a car-dancer, and sing-at-the-top-of-my-lungs kinda girl.  Little AG and I frequently turn our TV to the Satellite radio channels and groove to music in our living room.  She recently has learned to try to sing along with music, which basically just sounds like “ahhh, daaaa laaaaaaaa” no matter what the song is, but it’s still cool.  It comes as no surprise really, seeing as how I’ve always been a (loud and usually off-key) singer myself!

One of my favorite memories from my teenage years is driving to New Orleans with my mom, singing Seal’s “Kiss From A Rose” at the top of our lungs.  Seriously, it probably bordered on shouting, but we sang and laughed and then hit repeat on the CD player so that we could do it all over again.  (And yes, mom, I’m positive that you still sing some of the wrong words.) We love that song, and that was the first Seal CD I ever owned.

Seal just recently teamed up with PBS for an amazing concert that originally premiered on February 12th, and you can check your local listings for air dates.  Check it out as it airs for the rest of the month!  I know you won’t be disappointed because his music is really so awesome!  Wanna taste of the music for yourself?  Check out the widgets below!

Yanni Voices {Giveaway Closed}

Ok, ok ok…admit it – what do you think of when you hear “Yanni”?  Right.  I’m sure it’s the same reaction that my husband gave me when I said something about writing this post.  But um, Yanni Voices is SOOO different, seriously.  Yanni has discovered these 4, incredible, powerhouse singers who are young and fresh and will make your jaw drop – especially if you are a music afficionado (though you may say snob if you prefer) like me.  The songs are powerful and moving – the type of music that has the ability to fill you with emotion.  I know I sound all sappy and girly (probably because I am both of those things, and glad to be that way, actually) but the new Yanni Voices CD has become a favorite of mine during Little AG’s naptime or anytime I’m feeling mellow, really.

PBS is airing a special of this talented group of singers which was a process 2 years in the making.  Think of it as a sort of Making the Band, but um, with some serious talent and no emphasis on dancing.  You can check out the airdate for the special in your city, check out a short promo video, or find out if Yanni Voices will be on tour in a city near you.

Thanks to the One2One Network, I had the opportunity to preview the Yanni Voices CD and DVD – and as I said above I was really very impressed.  If this sounds like something you would like then it’s your lucky day, because I also have a copy of the CD and DVD to givaway to you, as well as some Godiva Chocolate Truffles to sweeten the deal.  Talk about your ultimate de-stress package!

Win it!
