Jase Harley
The past year, I’ve been getting many emails from local artists and musicians asking to be featured on the blog. As much as I would love to interview everyone it is virtually impossible. When Jase Harley emailed me, something inside of me said that I needed to meet him ASAP. He is also friends with […]
Big Wake

HolyVeins
Every year County Prep High School hosts their annual Open Mic Night (hosted in October) for students to showcase their talent.

Ryan Soroka
As one of the hardest working, names in the music biz Ryan Soroka has worked his entire life making a name for himself. Growing up in the same scene, I used to watch a 15-year-old Ryan run around like a maniac at his shows, one of which he was in a Ninja Turtle costume which […]

Jersey City Ballroom
