Every once in a while, you walk into a concert, look at the lineup, and say to yourself, "A few years from now, someone is going to see that lineup and be like, 'Wow, all those bands played together.'" It didn't cost a month's income to see them, and it wasn't on some huge festival grounds. On Saturday, August 15th, in Forest Grove, OR I feel like I witnessed one of those concerts: Ole 60 with support from Kolton Moore and the Clever Few and Cigarettes @ Sunset.

At 90 years old, Guy isn't simply touring. He's carrying more than seven decades of American music history onto the stage with him.

The first was a spotlight on a huge jukebox on the right side of the stage that symbolized the album "The Cosmic Selector Vol.1" which depicted themes of fate, choice, regret and

I sat down to review Empires in Orbit's new release, Audiodrome, and I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. This is an artist I had zero background on, and within seconds of the first track, I realized this was something totally outside my normal wheelhouse. While that might turn some people off, it actually excited me. It was something new, something fresh, and something I could approach with zero expectations.

It was a celebration of faith, family, and community, a moment filled with good vibes, great music, and an opportunity to connect

What inspired the theme or concept behind this album? The idea behind Nowadays came from learning to appreciate what exists right now instead of constantly looking backward or worrying about what's ahead. Even the title reflects that mindset, finding meaning in everyday moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. Nostalgia runs throughout the album, but not in a sentimental way.
