Will McCranie – North South
Will McCranie North South Singer-songwriter Will McCranie looks like your average All-American cute kid next door. With his tussled blond hair and wide-eyed gaze McCranie could easily fit in nicely on the pages of any teenybopper magazine next to Aaron Carter or maybe those three Hanson kids a few years back. All that gets tossed out [...]
Signal 18 – That’s What She Said
Signal 18 That’s What She Said The combination of rock & roll mixed with alcohol is nothing new. Since the early days of rock beer and liquor have not only been regular instigators for many of music’s creative minds, but the topic of many a rockin’ tune as well. “Have a Drink on Me” once [...]
Dem Imonde – The Era of Wonderful Nonsense

48VOLT Energizes the Soul Bar with Debut
Now I’ll be the first to admit that lately I’ve been a bit slack as far as getting out to see local shows and no one has to tell me how much worse I’ve been at kicking out show reviews. My fingers are telling me well enough by the awkwardness due to lack of keyboard [...]
