Album Review: Cameron Winter “Live At Carnegie Hall”
“Performed and filmed in December of last year, Live At Carnegie Hall marks a tonal shift from the traditional loud, in-your-face music that we associate with Cameron Winter.

VIolet Grohl Creates A World of Her Own at Crystal Ballroom
Violet Grohl has been one of the most interesting artists that I have started listening to over the past year.

The loud bang of the drums, the smoothness of the basslines, and her soft yet imposing voice completely surround you when you’re at one of her shows. To borrow an old recording term, it was like a wall of sound moved across the room, absorbing everyone inside it.
