Tuning In with Hicham Benhallam
September 18, 2015
When Hicham Benhallam knows he’s sketched out a good song, he gets excited.

Local Music Check-In: Lester Seal
June 3, 2015
Lester Seal has an extraordinary voice. During a recent show opening for the Will Overman Band at The Southern, Seal took the stage with just his guitar and a mic. He strummed, sang, and stomped his bare feet on the carpeted stage, sounding at times like the second coming of Jeff Buckley. “I grew up […]
