Needless to say, Lightning in a Bottle 2022 is upon us and we…
Continue ReadingThe Tragedy at Astroworld
I find articles like this to be very challenging to write. When I have to write about tragedy, such as what happened at Astroworld this weekend, I struggle to put the words to paper. It reminds me of when people died at Faster Horses. That being said, I’m going to do my best to share…

Check out the full interview HERE! I’ve had my share of hosting interviews. From experts in their field to those just getting their feet wet and everything in between. I’ve found it pretty remarkable how much I can learn about my interviewees based on how elaborate (or lack thereof) they answered the questions. Ohio-born, Chicago-based…
Continue ReadingShaky Knees Has Me Shook
I’m a huge fan of indie and alternative music, especially some good old rock and roll. That rush you get when an artist pulls no punches and beckons the crowd into madness is out of this world. Most of the time you can score an hour of pure bliss at a tour stop for your…
