About Us
We are a couple of musicians who decided to create this blog to share stories and highlight a variety of artists we applaud and admire. This includes musicians we have recently discovered, those we have met, and those who have made a lasting impression on us in various ways.
After sharing countless stories with our friends and family, we realized that this information is worth sharing with a broader audience. We are amazed by the immense talent from the past that is often underrepresented in history books, and we aim to celebrate their work.
We hope you enjoy our content as we continue to applaud all musical artists— past, present, and future.
