‘What’s It Like To Start A Music Festival?’ – Interview With River Rock Festival’s Founder
What’s It Like To Start A Music Festival? An Interview With River Rock Festival’s Founder Jeff Wall There are few summertime activities more sublime than the outdoor concert; sitting on a blanket on the grass or dancing (or moshing) away in front of the stage, and enjoying the sky, sun […]
“Real Deep: Aaron Watkins of Random Hero”
Aaron Watkins grew up despising what he ended up loving – music. Wyoming born and Colorado raised, Aaron has seen and survived a lot of things. His father was an alcoholic who played in some fairly well known bands, and he did not want that lifestyle for himself. He toured with […]

10 Years Later: Audio Adrenaline, “Until My Heart Caves In”
It’s certainly hard to believe that a decade has passed since Audio Adrenaline released what would end up being their final studio album. Until My Heart Caves In was a bittersweet record, as it showcased even less of lead singer Mark Stuart’s vocals than the previous album had (Worldwide), with guitarist Tyler Burkum filling […]
Scott Fryberger Examines His Top 10 Albums of 2014
I’ve always been known as somewhat of a picky music listener. I’ve always considered myself to have very refined taste (it’s probably more of the former than the latter). Considering how many albums I had on my list of “potential top ten albums,” I may be getting pickier as time […]
