It’s because up until now, he’s had no solo records outside a few small self releases. Like Kishi Bashi, Washington has supported many a musician. His first national tour was with Snoop Dogg, and he joined Raphael Saadiq for his first international tour. Before releasing his new record The Epic, he lent his skills to records like Flying Lotus’ You’re Dead! and Kendrick Lamar’s masterful To Pimp A Butterfly.Clark Lamson · Jun 9, 2015FeaturesFooling Around and Falling in Love With Elvin BishopElvin Bishop has had a long and prolific career as a blues guitarist.Jed Murphy · Jun 10, 2015MusicCrítica del àlbum: Fórmula Vol. 2— Romeo SantosDespués de su desintegración de Aventura, Romeo Santos se lanzó como solista en el 2011.Crystal Mendoza · Jun 12, 2015FeaturesThe 11th Annual Greeley Blues JamThe 11th annual Greeley’s Blue Jam at Island Groove Regional Park Arena featuring The Burroughs, Elvin Bishop, Delbert McCinton, Jimmy Hall With My Blue Sky and more.Dylan Adams · Jun 14, 2015MusicNew Music Monday: Sharon Van Etten — I Don’t Want to Let You DownFor me, the best artists (musical or not) are the ones who are growing from project to project.Clark Lamson · Jun 15, 2015FeaturesAs Famous As He Wants To Be: Sage Francis Sits Comfortably At The Helm of His CareerThe Providence, Rhode Island-native, former spoken word champion, seasoned emcee and founder of Strange Famous Records has built a comfortable career for himself over the last two decades, but he would rather stay under the radar. Francis has never been one to seek out fame, it kind of found him. His incredible writing talent was undeniable. Coupled with a strong stage presence, it was only a matter of time before he attracted attention. Curiously, it’s the attention he tends to want to avoid. As a self-proclaimed introvert, he’s much more relaxed inside the fours walls of his home than he his outside in the world. However, that all goes out the window when he takes his first step on stage; he explodes with confidence.Kyle Eustice · Jun 16, 2015MusicAlbum Review: Dark Bird is Home— The Tallest Man On EarthIn late 2006, Kristian Matsson charmed listeners with his debut selftitled EP The Tallest Man on Earth.Clark Lamson · Jun 16, 2015Concert PhotosBrit Floyd concert photos at Red Rocks June 11th 2015If the music of Pink Floyd is a journey that takes its listener to a destination only accessible by spinning on a table under the just so perfect pressure of a needle its live…Mike Pope · Jun 17, 2015MusicAlbum Review: A Place To Bury Strangers – TransfixationAfter some much needed down time the trio reformed with a new and refreshed outlook on the project and proceeded to lay down the most raucous addition to their discography yet. On February 17th, APTBS released their new album, a perfect representation of why we need pop music and all its predictability. Transfixation exists, if only as a measuring post against the aural insanity that is Transfixation.Clark Lamson · Jun 18, 2015
