For It’s Gonna Be Alright, Andy got together with some very talented musicians, Brandon Kinross, Chris Adams...

Not long ago, Enter the Haggis finally nailed their feet to the ground and spent sometime in a cabin near a lake to put together a new album. We love the fact that they tour so much and that so many of their fans get a chance to see them perform. But the results...

Alka Jessie will be releasing their first studio album on Nov 11. It was produced by Geoff Warner-Clayton and is their most ambitious project to date.

Karnataka is back and better than ever. After some down time in which there were some personnel changes Karnataka is launching the New Light Tour. Hayley Griffiths is the new lead singer for the band and she tells me that some of the songs from her album Silver Screen will be part of the...
