June 10, 2016

Last night was a magical one as we were in San Francisco to cover a night of the Blue October Home Tour. We were pleased to find out that Danny Malone would be opening the show at Regency Ballroom. Danny Malone creates music that brings influences of folk, indie, rock, alternative to life but with much richer and deep emotions. He truly is engaging with his lyrics and connects with the audience. His band includes Charley Siess on drums and Kenni Hede on bass. Together these three delivered an emotionally driven set. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: We had the chance to chat with the band before their set and you can check out the interview here: Make sure to stay tuned as they will be working on their new album and bringing us new music.

May 12, 2016

Folk rock singer/songwriter Lesley Barth has done it again. She captivates us with her new video for piano ballad, Good Like This.
