Ernest Aines – Spiral Bound

Ernest Aines – Spiral Bound – Album Review Back in the summer of 2022, I latched onto the music of Ernest Aines through a stellar single called “Yellowstone” that revealed just how special this dude’s talent really was.  Since then, he’s been out there traveling around the world, including a stop in my own backyard […]Read More

Howard Louis – Survival Mode & Things

Howard Louis – Survival Mode & Things – EP Review Dude’s always been a good singer, and he’s sounding as solid as ever with the way he opens up his new Survival Mode & Things EP with “I Don’t Trust Myself.”  Fun fact – he’s got this cut so perfectly on each end of the […]Read More

Fergal Nash – On A Constant Roll

Fergal Nash – On A Constant Roll – Album Review You can hear that classic singer/songwriter vibe in Fergal Nash as his upcoming album On A Constant Roll (Oct. 27th) starts up with “Walking Tall.”  I can get behind what I’m hearing well enough…he’s got that light-Rock vibe that took over in the late 90s […]Read More
