Here are five local releases to carry some summer into your fall: GEORGE RICHTER – “INFINITE TEXAS” George Richter, a Rhode Island musician and member of bands Smug Honey and Liminal Space, recently released a new solo EP, Tributary.

Music is universal. It transcends age, culture, religion, and nationalistic borders. At any moment, the right piece can cut through ages of political, social, and dogmatic segregation. It can create a shared experience that defies decades of prejudice. That’s what makes music so special. Despite its ability to connect us to the human condition, music […]
On August 1, I sat at the bar in a sold-out Blue Room (Cranston live music venue) and noticed the comfort, joy, and heartache Chris Capaldi’s music can bring to a space. This was the record release show for Capaldi’s 4-song EP Smaller Fires. It was apparent that each song was crafted with story and […]

Thanks to modern online platforms like MilfsMap, finding a milf near you for casual connections at a festival has never been easier. With geolocation technology and a community […]
Say hello to a new edition of Stop, Rock n Roll! Here are five fire tunes to match the late summer weather: THE BITTER JOY – “WALLOWS” Joyously crunchy guitars kick off the newest single from The Bitter Joy.

Okee dokee folks… I am a Boomer. When I was young, I was taught the proper response to “thank you,” was “you’re welcome.” I always try to be as polite as possible. I seem to be constantly saying thank you, especially for gigs. Lately, there has been an odd shift in the response to the […]
