Vanterra Arts Enters a New Era
Vanterra Arts®, once a traditional music label, has evolved into the newly reimagined creative studio of Fred Vanterra — a space where musical expression is driven by emotion, storytelling, and boundless imagination. While the name remains the same, the mission has grown deeper: to explore the quiet poetry of everyday life and transform it into soundscapes that move the soul.

Leave the Light On
Her grandfather had passed two weeks ago, and now the house was hers. She’d driven up that morning with a single duffel bag and more grief than she could organize. The house still smelled like his pipe tobacco and mothballs. Dust settled in quiet corners like old memories.

OF LIMBO Have Leveled Up With New "Unplugged" LP
Long Beach, CA Rockers OF LIMBO have just released their new “Unplugged” album, which shows a deeper, more thoughtful side of the band. They have built a reputation of performing over-the-top, rowdy and fun live shows with their high energy version of heavier rock. This new LP showcases a more intimate and contemplative side, and they show growth and are leveling up - by exhibiting how broad a range they have beyond writing and performing hard rock bangers. The album showcases a quieter acoustic sound with a mix of original songs and 3 covers of classic tracks. They produced and mixed this set of songs at their home studio, and had it mastered at Long Beach Mastering by Brian Frederick.

Jazz Samba
If ever any music could evoke the sharply contrasting environments of a sun soaked sandy beach in the Caribbean or a Sunday morning breakfast overlooking Central Park in New York then "Jazz Samba" will take the listener there and everywhere in between.

The El Pea Situation
Introduction About a month ago, I started becoming obsessed with the vinyl album "El Pea", and I am not sure why. I had also aquired a copy of "Bumpers", which is a great album, and "Nice Enough To Eat" was one of the first albums that I bought, and it introduced me to a lot of artists who are absolute favourites of mine.
