Our first #TwitterThursday account got some good news today. @hissgldnmssr was announced as one of [...]
Mel Washington is an eclectic man. He’s shown that he can rock out on stage swinging his dreads back and forth. He’s shown he can drop the bass as DJ Meliphant. He’s shown that he can silence and capture a room with the smooth deep tone of his voice at acoustic songwriters night. And On [...]
Charleston got a good taste of Tennessee-and-Louisiana-bred rock this past Saturday when The Delta Saints played Charleston’s Pour House with The Dirty Guv’nahs.

As always, this year’s Moogfest brought many highly anticipated artists. There are not many things better than a Moog-centric electronic music festival held Halloween weekend in a city filled with such cool people.
