MUSIC REVIEWS

Doug Kistner should have been a household name by now. If you heard his music out on the street you’d think you were listening to a missing b-side from a band that you *think* you know, but in reality is a talent all his own. Let me not be mistaken …

Coming in beaming with optimism and positivity is the triumphant energy by singer/songwriter Zack Landry and his latest single “Hold On”. A 5-minute celebration of faith and empowerment wrapped up in an exciting presentation, this a musical highlight for both those of a specific faith and even those who aren’t …

Gary Pratt lets it all hang out and in the process takes his old school sensibilities and turns them into something that feels new and modern with his newest album “Something Worth Remembering”. He’s the kind of guy you wanna sit down and have a beer with after a long …
