Some soul-hop to carry you into the weekend

If you like Common, The Roots, or Fugees, you’re gonna vibe to Black Staxx. The group blends neo-soul, blues, and hip hop to create their contemporary urban sound that many in town are already familiar with. This Saturday they headline at The Columbia City Theater, promoting their recent album release, High Rhymes Smoking Jackets.

An experimental and dreamy track to start your week.

“As The Clouds Drift” is the first single off of Song Sparrow Research’s self-titled album, which was released on July 26. Known for their blends of experimental, rock, folk, jazz, and classical, the group has already received positive reviews from local music press for their sophomore album.
