Dubbest - The Young Sound of American Reggae, Dubbest Coming to Miami March 15th - 03/15/2015 - Miami, FL 
Dubbest might still be young and still growing, but there’s a wise, musical head on those shoulders.

It’s high energy.

Bill Gable - Bill Gable: A Map of Life with No Straight Lines - 04/14/2015 - Release 
Straight lines. They’re a man-made conceit – highways, railroads, the quickest distance between two points. But nature likes to meander, to take a slower course. And No Straight Lines is a path that suits musician and singer-songwriter Bill Gable. His new record is inspired by those destinations never quite reached.
