Tell us a little about yourself. Where are you originally from? What are three things you’d like our readers to know about you? I was born and raised in NYC, but my mother is Ethiopian and my father is Bermudian-American. You have a soulful, melodic voice that complements your acoustic guitar play beautifully. When did [...]

Music to Our Ears: Monica Richards of Faith and the Muse
Tell us three things we should know about Monica Richards. I sing for Faith and the Muse. I was one of the first girl singers in the Washington harDCore punk scene. I have a Permaculture homestead and a menagerie of rescue animals. Was the punk genre your first love or did you try other musical [...]
Interview: Jenn Alva of Girl in a Coma with Melissa A. Bartell
Our theme this issue is “Lost and Found,” and I believe music is one of the better ways to both lose yourself and find yourself. Recently, I found a band called Girl in a Coma, a trio of young women – Jenn Alva, and sisters Phanie and Nina Diaz – who make wonderful music together. [...]
Your Turn: The Power of Music

However like so many of her real life counterparts, she lacks the talent and vision. [...]
Upcoming Man of the Month
I’m just putting the finishing touches on the Man of the Month interview with Willie Herath. An intelligent, witty, outdoorsy guy he really encapsulates everything that March/April’s theme Earth and Sky implies; a fresh, sporty, hard working, down-to-earth man with the heart of an adventurer and the soul of a poet. Willie has been making [...]
Feature on Cover Girl Deborah Harry by A.L. Harper
Growing up in the late 70s and 80s there was a serious lack of female role models – particularly in Utah. Oh sure if you wanted to be a timid, naïve, gullible Mormon housewife my sheltered, religious world was awash with that type of flower-print-dress-wearing women. But that never felt right to me, it never [...]
