It’s hard to stay focused during the dog days of summer, especially when spending an afternoon wandering around the unruly Brooklyn coastline of Coney Island for its eighth annual indie music fest, Siren. So it’s not that hard to understand why the next morning, while flipping through the latest, insipid Vogue article on Kate [...]
Johnny Flynn U.S. Tour Dates and Album Release
We first caught Johnny Flynn at SXSW in March and were quite awed, deeming him a romantic spirit with a gift for Shakespearean wit. Since his album, A Larum, will be released in the U.S. this fall, the UK troubadour will head to North America for some tour dates to coincide. He’ll be coming [...]
