"Something old. Something new. That's the critical musical balance behind Like Clockwork: an odyssey of sound, mind, spirit and poetic lyricism from the chaotic, yet diametrically romantic mind of Jesse Owen Astin."
Up and coming LA based producer Jesse Owen Astin is in Atlanta for this weekend. It's been a couple of years since Like Clockwork has played in Atlanta.

Michael Greenwald is your mom's favorite singer/songwriter. As well as your girlfriends, your sisters, and your boyfriends. His wide appeal and accessibility has made him a favorite of anyone he has come in contact with. On his first full length album, Michael displays a wide range of songs and emotions. Everything from envy to guilt to happiness to sadness can be experience while listening to this album. Michael Greenwald has entertained fans all across the metro Atlanta area with his witty banter, his entertaining songs, and his rugged good looks. The album began as an acoustic e.p. but soon took on a life all it's own. Accompanied by some of his best friends and most talented musicians in Atlanta, Michael went to work. Blaze Bateh of 23jinx supplied the percussion, William Brookshire of 23jinx and Atlanta hip-hop artist David Fierman dominated the bass, Richard Miron of Seussical the Musical played the keys, and Jesse Astin masterfully played lead guitar. Jesse also produced the album, making it his first full length project. Michael has been receiving a warm response about the album, and is happy with the outcome. He has been quoted as saying "This shit rocks... hard... real hard." Never at a loss for words, Michael Greenwald will surely be writing music and making great albums for years to come, and he only hopes that you and your girlfriend/boyfriend, mother/father, and sister/brother will continue to enjoy his music.

I created Stereo Then Video as a way to be honest with myself in ways I wasn't used to. Originally I was going to make an albums worth of beats and get other people, rappers and singers, to perform their lyrics over them. A "production" album if you will. But I quickly realized I wasn't into the idea.
Every beat I would come up with wound up being something I would rather hear my own voice and my own lyrics on. In the same process I found myself working with Austin Gaines on the beats and many times he would help cut the vocals. I realized that I had something that was bigger and more special than a production album. It wasn't some solo effort that was a shallow attempt at self promotion, it was a living breathing piece of art. My only goal was and is to create something that is so huge, so inspired that people can't help but pay attention.
