We interviewed Gina Coleman of Misty Blues. RRX: You came about the blues sort of the long way, first from singing in a folk/rock group, then as a singing part in a theater production, where you were told by a number of people, including actress Gwyneth Paltrow, that you had a voice for the blues.

Troy NY – So I was walking around with time to kill and I whipped out my phone and took in the scenes. Wherever you see this, share pics from the cool stuff where you live!
Interview with R.M. Engelhardt As a creative person, it’s great to have creative friends that have, over the years, really transformed their discipline in the area. In this case, watching them take a scene adrift and shaping it into a strong and open community. R.M. Engelhardt has been a driving force in the Capital District […]
Erin Powers. Have guitar, will travel. That sounds so damn cool, doesn’t it? Well, it does to me, and I’m controlling the ink around here. There’s something about the pure freedom of someone going out with their dreams strapped across their back, living by the night, living by the song… it’s what makes America the […]
If you were alive and around in the Albany environs in the turn of the eighties, you might have gone to a sonic bunker of a place called J.B. Scott’s. Owned by Douglas Jacobs and Vinnie Birbiglia, this nightclub had a list of bands go through that would, at the same time be chewing through […]
I suck at writing articles. If any truth ever came from these keys on this keyboard, it is that. I’m awful. They always come out like essays. I even took a journalism course in college. But I took a lot of things in college, so I don’t remember it. So if you’ll indulge me, maybe […]
One music that never fails to soothe me is Celtic music. I can just feel the stress and the tension of the day wash off, and something crisp and green take its place. It is always welcome, and in turn always welcoming, and there’s a heaviness and a frivolity that can dance with each other. […]
As a writer, not like this, but as a fiction writer, it’s my job to describe a character and make you love them or hate them. If you’re indifferent to them, back to the drawing board. But an actor has to become another person and make you love them or hate them. Infinitely harder, mostly […]
There are writers’ writers, just like there are guitarists’ guitarists and pimps’ pimps. A writer’s writer is not, make no mistake, an affront to the reader, or solely focused on some void philosophical notion of craft. No, they are actually so beloved by their readers that other writers gather ‘round their campfire and want to […]
Hollywood on the Hudson. This is a broad description, maybe even beyond the bounds of our delivery trucks, but we’re a big part of it around here. This area’s got something, something beyond pretty streets and shiny buildings. We have a passion here for creativity that has kept this paper in interviews for years. The […]
