Happy Elke Day!
Elke Celebrates Her Record Release as Meg Elsier Opens As I stood outside The Blue Room, I felt my body battling both the 25-degree weather and the sheer excitement of the show that I was going to see. Tonight, attached to Jack White’s Third Man Records, the shivering crowd was going to be let in…

Kenny Garrett Infectious at Blue Note
Last Sunday I was able to cross a venue off my concert bucket list by going with my wife and daughter to the Blue Note in NYC. My 17-year-old loves jazz and wanted to go to a jazz club while we were visiting New York for Thanksgiving week. If you are going to go to…

I immediately downloaded Heartbeat and then found Bonfire and Sunrise which are two of my favorite rap songs of all time. The humor that Gambino has in his lyrics is incredibly unique as…
