        “I do a lot of thinking about when people come to a Molly Grace show, like ‘What do I want them to take away from it?’  The goal is for people to feel empowered,” says the Nashville-based, always sparkling, queer pop artist, before quickly clarifying that it’s just as...

        Singer/songwriter Anya Marina has spent the past half-decade opening sold-out comedy shows for BFF and former roommate Nikki Glaser in theatres across America.  Although I’m picturing drunken bachelorette parties talking over Marina’s indie pop as they fall into their seats, she tells me during a recent phone chat that...

        A few weeks ago, Brooklyn based, funk-infused, psychedelic indie-dance pop legends Rubblebucket released a cover of The Moldy Peaches’ “Anyone Else But You.”  The song — which opens with the line, “You’re a part time lover and a full time friend” —  seems like the perfect fit for the...

        “Molly Lewis, professional whistler,” (as she’s characterized by NPR) is likely not quite a household name at this point, but there’s a reasonable chance that you saw Lewis last summer opening The Mann for Beck with the Philadelphia Orchestra or perhaps supporting Weyes Blood for her two nights at...
