Stream Greg Laswell's forthcoming album, Take A Bow, in its entirety

That’s right! One of my go-to singer/songwriters in times of melancholic pop need, Greg Laswell, is streaming his entire forthcoming album, Take A Bow (out May 4) [Edit: Link removed. Unfortunately there was some miscommunication and the album was only streaming for review purposes for promoters.]

The album is everything you’d expect from […]

Erin McCarley‘s debut album, Love, Save the Empty, hits stores January 6 (iTunes December 30) and I couldn’t be more excited. From Nashville, by way of San Diego, McCarley is making a name for herself […]
