Every city has had its scene at one time or another. In the ’60s, it was London; in the ’70s, New York; Boston ruled as far as the folk crowd was concerned, and today Austin and Nashville are at the essence of Americana. Nevertheless, the ’80s belonged to Los Angeles,…

Summer in South Florida – it sounds picturesque but honestly, it can kind of be a sticky, sweaty bummer. Venues stop booking, snowbirds hit the road, and it’s the only time of the year you don’t have relatives clamoring to sleep on your floor. For the most part, we’re forced…
