Amanda Shires- My Piece of Land

Wednesday, September 28, 2016 By Suzanne McMahon

From the opening notes, I could already tell that this was going to be my favorite Amanda Shires record. There’s just something different about it.

Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit House of Blues Boston February 27, 2016 As a photographer, I know that some shoots go well and some don’t. That still doesn’t ease the disappointment of loading all of the photos on the computer and seeing that they just didn’t come out as you hoped. That was the […]
