Interview: Julianna Barwick @ The Goat Farm 2/18

Interview: Johnny Awesome @ Smith’s Olde Bar 2/14

It seems like the best bands start off as little more than a group of musically inclined friends that enjoy playing together and do so regularly. Johnny Awesome, a local act comprised of Austin Cobb, Trevor Fain, Joel Webb, Mitch Smith and nobody named Johnny, began as one of these friendly musical experiments. What it’s […]
