Dear Readers, we’re about to enter the realm of one of my favorite shows, “Once on This Island”, currently playing at Village Theatre. This gem of a show is, sadly, not often produced. In fact, I’ve only seen it twice, once on Broadway in 2017, and once in 2005, again from Village Theatre. Both of those productions hold very special places in my memory as being stellar shows. I tell you this for one reason and one reason only, I am very picky when it comes to this show. I know the story and the music backwards and forwards. And I am loathed to say that this current production suffered from bad choice after bad choice, misstep after misstep, resulting in something that resembled the gem, but ultimately did not shine.

For their new record, the band launched what they’ve dubbed the 'Box Of Secrets' initiative, allowing fans to anonymously reveal their deepest intimacies. What they discovered was a global, post-pandemic, postmodern era of pain - an intense and strange loneliness felt around the world. Sauvé and her partner Santais synthesized those missives into the mesmeric Darkroom. Listen to the album now!

Melbourne based singer-songwriter Phoebe Go has released her highly anticipated debut LP Marmalade and focus track “Good Fight” out now. Album focus track “Good Fight” offers some of the most honest moments on the record - a perfect example of how Phoebe perfectly balances vulnerability with bravery throughout the songs on the record.
