Jessi D. Hill's production of 'Ushuaia Blue' offers us a performance piece that is part tone poem, part personal tragedy, part environmental meditation. Shifting with ease from one time and place, and from one frame of mind, to another, the cast offers us a glimpse of how our understanding of global climate change needs to expand-beyond the microscopes and bathyscaphes, beyond the labs, beyond those cute penguins, and out onto the ever-more-endangered ice of Antarctica.

Georgia-based band Neighbor Lady has released their new album, For The Birds (Park The Van). Today they also share the newest single off the album, “Sister” of which they note, “‘Sister’ shows Neighbor Lady at our most vulnerable. It’s a testament to the invisible ties that keep us together, and a song that isn’t afraid to embrace love unapologetically.”

Today the band has revealed a new single off the LP, “Feel It All The Time.” A hypnotic torch ballad, the song lulls the listener into an eerie dreamworld with a repeated broken chord played on piano while vocalist Emily Braden entreats the listener to “take it or leave it all.” Watch the visualizer for the new single now!
