I’ve been a sucker for Kris Angelis’ modern-folk sound for years now and the sway-worthy, singer-songwriter siren is back with her new album Damn Shame Waste. Once again, Kris bares her soul musically and lyrically in a way that only she can. The album starts out (“Run” “A Different Story” “Paper Planes.”) with a retro-country gospel…
You may be asking yourself who is Fanny? I was asked myself the same thing when I saw the “Fanny: The Right To Rock” documentary show up on my list of films to watch for a local QUILTBAG film festival that I’m a committee member of. After watching the doc, my only question is, how…
In May I discovered NoSo’s music when they opened for Molly Burch at Space Ballroom here in Connecticut. NoSo’s musical style and sound caught my attention, putting them on my radar, and I’ve been looking forward to the release of their new album, Stay Proud Of Me, ever since. Last week, my wait was finally…
Welcome to the Carnie Cabaret, where things really pop and get a little jazzy with a wink of burlesque! Andriana Chobot will be your chanteuse this evening. She’ll clomp out onto the rickety wooden stage in her “Intro,” plug in her amp and buckle you in for an unexpectedly rich trip through her new album,…
When I think “meditation album,” I think of monks ringing dinner bells, whales mating and Enya moaning. Alanis Morissette’s new meditation album, The Storm Before The Calm, is shockingly exactly that. I thought the diva who brought movie theater blow jobs to Top 40 radio in the 90’s might bring something new to New Age,…
This Memorial Day weekend I had outdoor dinner plans with friends that got postponed due to thunderstorms and Cocoa Brown cancelled her standup show at my hometown comedy club due to a family emergency. Being desperate for some fun, I turned to Spotify to cheer me up and she didn’t disappoint when she introduced me…
It’s been five years to the month since I’ve been able to post about new Courtney Jaye music, back then it was her album Pent Up with Zach Rogue under their pairing of Rogue + Jaye, but last week she released her first solo album in nine years, Hymns And Hallelucinations. This album and it’s…
For the past two years of this pandemic, things have been pretty routine for me, day-in-and-day-out of work and errands. The most exciting thing every day is what I’m having for dinner…spoiler alert, 9 times out of 10 it’s bean salad, vegan yogurt and a Clif Bar. Finally this week, I had an entire evening…
Wild Fire is one of my newest diva discoveries who know how to feed my addiction for autographed merch. As with all good deals, it started last year with a free sample of their autographed CD “Phases” with a signed 8X10, which I took advantage of. This year I paid up and pre-ordered their new…
Back in April of 2020 I was introduced to Raquel Lily through her single “Mary” and included it on a post I did at the time. I’ve been waiting and finally after two years, I get to hear Fixations, her full album. “Mary” introduces the album with her smooth old-school R & B sound, pro-pot…
