Since first hearing their live album Root Jam in 2011, I have been a huge fan of Siena Root.  Acting more as a collective than a static band, this diverse, eclectic band has featured a revolving door of some of Sweden’s most talented musicians.  Eight years after becoming a fan, Siena Root is set to […]

Getting to talk with legendary Hanoi Rocks frontman Michael Monroe is always a treat!  He’s a great guy and he definitely has no shortage of things to talk about which I LOVE.  Michael is a really humble, kind, and interesting person with a vast history and legacy of music.  After over 40 years in the […]
