Each new album shows us something different, as layers of a soul is laid bare with the strumming of guitars. June 5th, 2018, marks the 4th or 5th time that I’ve seen him playContinue reading “A part of the Light”

Prisoner
Advertisements I settle into my seat at the Greek Theater in Griffith Park just as the opening act walks onto the stage. I overhear the girls behind me remark “is that Karen Elson, Jack White’s ex?” What I saw was a beautiful red head, not someone’s ex-wife, nor a former British supermodel. What I heardContinue reading “Prisoner”
