This is one devastating month for the world of music. We lost some of the really great ones recently.

His most recent musical effort was a bluegrass duet Uncle Monk, and [...]

If you haven’t seen Low Cut Connie live show yet, you should. There is not too many bands out there that put such a fun, carefree show. They would surely prefer to have a full house, but even if there’s an audience of five, they’ll knock the house down. Adam Weiner carries upright piano to [...]
