I Was Reminded How Much I Love Lewis & Clarke, Now It’s Your Turn.
A friend recommended and sent me a copy of the new Lewis & Clarke’s “Light Time”. That friend is Tim Showalter (or Strand of Oaks, and fellow label mate of L&C) and I can’t thank him enough and I have to say, I was reminded how much I get lost in the beauty of almost…

Sean Rowe’s New Album is “Magic”
When you hear Sean Rowe start up, you can’t help but picture a gothic version of the South, or what I envision what the South would be like. As I don’t really know much of the real South and I am sure many residents of this mythical “South” would guffaw at this Canadian, I still…

The Woodlands emerge with incredible debut album!
The grey of dripping dusk sounds forth an invitation to innocence. It extends its grey hand with a slight tremble and a quiet recognition of the disparity between its own chill and the warmth of the impending guest.
