Loud and Clear Artist Spotlight

Northen California is rich with talented musicians, bands and songwriters from all walks of life.  Being in the heart of Sonoma County, Loud and Clear Music has always catered to the local music scene but there is so much more that the local scene has to offer.  In this county alone, there is a variety of original music in many styles including Rock, R&B/Soul, Country, Metal, Norteño, Folk and more.  We are highlighting the local musical talent that flourishes here in Sonoma County and beyond.

Being a musical artist creating original content can take years of determination and dedication without any assurance that anyone will hear any of the music created. This is an opportunity for all local music artists to be featured in their favorite music store and in their community they know & love.

Here you will find talented musicians, bands, songwriters, and more, who create original music content for us to enjoy.  This is all about music discovery and sharing our art, so share with others anyone you discover so many more can enjoy their original music.

If you’re interested in being featured here, contact Sean at sean@lncav.com with your information, a short bio and any applicable links.  Currently, we will be focusing on artists from the local counties that create original musical content.

Danny Sorentino / The Sorentinos

Danny was born and raised in San Francisco California in the mid 1950’s and came of age during the psychedelic 60’s.
He found his greatest joy was listening to the music he heard on FM radio stations KMPX and KSAN with their freeform format that went from Howling Wolf to Jefferson Airplane and beyond.
He wrote his first song in 1975 and it was not very good.... so he has kept trying with varying levels of success to this very day.  He still releases original music and plays locally at many local venues.
