HOLY COW; the quintet band of Big Apple Blues has musicianship in spades with their new album ‘Manhattan Alley
When you really boil it down to the one thing that’s honestly missing from the mainstream music of today; it’s true and straight from the heart (and soul) musicianship.

Twee jaar later verschijnt […]

“Exuberance & Energy” Midwest Record
