Steven Faulkner – “Don’t Burn The Sky” – Single Review “Angry. Scared. Defiant.” Being ‘in the moment’ can lead to varied results when it comes right down to it…sometimes you get the occasional setback while attempting to move forward, but make no mistake, putting your head down & simply letting the music flow can lead […]Read More
Logan Whaley Band – “Funky Tonight” – Single Review I hear the word ‘funky’ in the way the majority of the world hears the world ‘moist.’ I’ll do my best here. Having said that…I ain’t opposed to the SOUND of the funk y’all – who on earth would be? It’s just a word thing is […]Read More

Kali Indiana – “Probably Not” – Single Review “I know what you’re thinkin’…” Oh that’s never good. Kali – you do? I genuinely feel bad about that my friend, and I certainly apologize…no one out there on this floating marble we’re on should have to be subjected to the scattered thought process of my tired […]Read More
Sean Shiff – “Together” – Single Review We’re heading towards four years of checkin’ out this man’s music as these seasons start to change here in 2022…Sean Shiff’s always been a reliable songwriter out there in this scene of ours we share together.
