Tricky Hey everyone, this next artist is not only on tour this year but definitely someone I’d be down to see when the time’s right—the name: Tricky, the game: sultry toned vocals on intense tracks.

Art is Culture I’m writing about social distancing because I want to make a confession. I’ve been doing my best to be socially distant, but I have been to a show or two in the past year. I’m careful before and after public events, and I always take precautions before seeing family. This is an…

I’m ready to share the next group in my artist spotlight: Dash Berlin! Like some of my other artists, I also discovered Dash Berlin by accident.
