Mike Porter – Capital Region Timekeepers – by OP Callaghan. Hello music fans, I have a confession to make. A close friend of mine recently implied that I would soon run out of local drummers to interview for this column, and it got me thinking. I know several folks who use online tools such as […]
Paul Menta (Conch Republic) – An Xperience Interview – by Liam Sweeny. RRX: When I think of the Keys, I think of Jimmy Buffett and that laid-back feel, but is there a more nuanced musical scene in Key West? Is there a conch metal or a conch funk? Is there anything like that, or is […]
