Show Of The Week

This weekend features the first Homegrown Live that I get to host (I just took over the radio show 101X Homegrown), and I’m really excited about it.  So, if you love me, you’ll head over to the inside stage at the Mohawk on Saturday to watch Cross Record celebrate the release of their album Wabi-Sabi (out now on Ba Da Bing Records).  I’ve been pouring over the atmospheric LP throughout the last couple of weeks, and I’m totally in love with it.  Adam Torres and Nadia will open the evening.
