Joan Osborne
Singer Joan Osborne was born on July 8, 1962, in the town of Anchorage, KY, but it wasn't until relocating to New York City in the early '90s (to study at N.Y.U.'s film school) that she began to take a singing career seriously after singing Billie Holiday's classic "God Bless the Child" at a local bar's "open mic night." In addition to Holiday, Osborne looked to such legendary vocalists as Etta James and Ray Charles as role models, as the up-and-coming singer decided not to cater to major record companies and formed her own label

Set The Children Free
Protecting children is saving humanity. Acts in war zones (refusal of aid, damage to hospitals and various attacks) cause the death of more than 100,000 children each year and this alone in the 10 countries most affected by conflicts. Children suffer from a complete non respect for human rights. Armed persons, including government forces, commit violations against these children with general indifference and sometimes even with the complicity of certain powerful nations. Here, the narrator is interested in children who one day may become adults and who will be sick actors in an equally sick society. more

These Times
First birthed in 2016, now in 2024 These Times is a full fledged rock and roll gypsy's warning. We bought the ticket, here's the soundtrack for the ride. Jonathan Segel of Camper Van Beethoven on violin conjures the essence of Nero while Rome is burning. Victor Krummenacher, also of CVB delivers thick and ominous Clash-esque bass riffs, balancing the surgical precision drums by Kyle Mayer of September Mourning. Standing on the shoulders of giants The Stifftones deliver their most compelling offering to date. There are horns, helicopters, sirens, and more. Are you feeling frightened yet? Good. Slap on a pair of headphones and take it all in. (album art by Rachel Stief)more
