Authenticity is a trait every artist or songwriter strives for when creating a song. Not everyone can achieve it, so it is a rare treat when you actually hear a song that is honest and real to the deepest levels. It's even rarer when the audience can connect with a song that authentic. I believe Beau Bristow is one of those that have accomplished such a feat.

It's clear when listening to Beau's latest release, "Standing Still" that the record is a collection of songs that reflect some very real experiences, both good ones and tough ones. You can hear it not just in his lyrics, but within the melodies, too. Beau has an astonishing ability to create pop melodies that stick with you, regardless the subject matter. His style and arrangements are fun and exciting with no strings attached, yet carefully considered.

"I have always been a songwriter," Beau explains, "but the pinnacle of that process is the presentation of the song, the connection and communication it creates with an audience." The desire for communication is also what motivates Beau's willingness to be transparent, from song lyrics to concerts to blog posts. "I want to be very candid as a person and artist because that's what forges a real connection and a real trust. In turn, that's what gives a song power and value: people knowing the person it comes from."
