Greg Fenton reviews Silver Man – Paint Me in Gold – 3 Bar Fire Records Music of quality and distinction lies at the heart of David Silverman’s latest production.

Magazine Sixty Music Review with FeelGood
Greg Fenton reviews FeelGood – Dirty Fly – DIRTYBIRD The week may have ended, but the music hasn’t stopped. Dirtybird, and more specifically FeelGood, serve up this notably fiery groove in a world that sometimes lacks musical excitement, primed with an explosive edge that turns your head. Dirty Fly doesn’t quite sound like anything else,…
