jane willow, onward still
As you lean slowly into the gentle and mellifluous soundscape of Jane Willow's Onward Still, your mind starts to wander, and wonder what the inspiration for this work of art exactly was. From the first caress of vocals in "Onward Still", to the last defining, harmonic...
best of december 2018: music videos
Everybody's done with those gnarly "Best Of" lists, correct? No? Oh, we didn't post our favorite music videos of the month quite yet? Alright. You've got us. We took a few (much needed) days out of rotation, and we feel like we are already behind on everything!...

larkin poe @ knuckleheads saloon
On December 10th, talented sister duo Larkin Poe took the stage (by quite some force) at The Garage at Knuckleheads Saloon. We got there early, and were still hard-pressed to find a seat anywhere but along the back wall. Serves us right, for thinking a band so...
larkin poe and a packed house @ knuckleheads saloon
I stumbled upon Larkin Poe in late 2016. I was on a YouTube music spree, as one will occasionally do, and they happened to pop up in my “Up Next” column. It was a Jam in the Van video of the song Jailbreak. The video had been posted in 2014 so it was roughly 2 and...
