Cause & Affection, the debut full-length melodic shredfest from Nashville's Oginalii (pronounced 'oh-gan-ALL-ee' and which translates to 'my friend' in Cherokee) produced by All Them Witches' Ben McLeod, is available everywhere today. From shining a spotlight of frustration on the treatment of women in the music industry to championing freedom of choice and issuing a widespread call for empathy, this band has something to say, and they aren't afraid to say it. Their sound cuts through the noise of today's musical landscape and their message is of the moment. 'The record is about growing up, losing yourself, finding yourself again, and wishing you were elsewhere--all while learning to love who you're looking at in the mirror and understanding that the greatest gift we have as humans is empathy,” explains frontwoman Emma Hoeflinger.

Continuing through April 20, STC's The Light in the Piazza is beautifully sung and impressively acted by Nolan's impeccably cast ensemble in a production fairly redolent of mid-century Florence and it serves as the perfect introduction to STC's new home.
