No matter what kind of Dad you have, chances are, he’s got his taste in music…and he just won’t shut up about it. So, this Father’s Day, we’re giving him a break from sharing all that knowledge that, frankly, nobody asked about. I mean, how many times can you be made aware of the “slow […]
Stef Chura – Midnight [Saddle Creek] A timeless rocker from Stef Chura. Chura’s voice hits like a truck. It’s pushed and strained to that sweet spot right before it becomes contrived. She has a natural affect that a lot of singers might try to fake, with little to no success. The melodies ramble almost in […]

Two months into 2019 and it’s shaping up to be a great year for music! I could have had 5 favorites on the first week of February, but we thought we would give the later releases a chance to hit the shelves and to let the earlier one’s sink in. With all the great stuff […]
