New Music – Tonight at Dawn

QUEEN, Was It All Worth It?

Written by @KralTunes Anytime something new or unreleased comes from a legendary band, the anticipation tends to excite the fan base. It is a rare treat to receive such a gift from a band 40+ years into their career, much less new material from a bygone era when they were still relatively young – notContinue reading “QUEEN, Was It All Worth It?”

Royal Blood Without the Royal Tongue

Question…why don’t British singers have British accents when they sing?? That question has plagued my boss over @ Tonight At Dawn for decades. I read once that the explanation is related to linguistics, but the “adult” words in the article bored me and I was never able to satiate her curiosity.

Benjamin Booker leaves usContinue reading “New Music King of New Orleans: Benjamin Booker”

The Future Is Older Than The Past: How To Dress Well

Text by Joe K. How To Dress Well is ‘Renaissance man’ Tom Krell; he is working on a philosophy doctorate by day and swooning the pants off of the ladies by night with his brand of electro-RnB. His third album, What Is This Heart?, came out late June. His late 80’s/early 90’s R&B influences burstsContinue reading “The Future Is Older Than The Past: How To Dress Well”
