By: Josh Kitchen / December 18, 2025 Hannah Cohen is sitting in her Catskills mountain cabin, furnished with rustic stonework and warm wood ceilings. She’s in a cozy knit sweater, her pup Jan—short for Janis Joplin—snoozing just off to her left. Outside, the property is covered in a blanket of snow, pine and hemlock poking through a wintry dreamscape. The air is crisp and pure. This is the world where Cohen wrote and recorded her first album in over five years, Earthstar Moun

By: Josh Kitchen / December 16, 2025 Photo Credit: Kali Spitzer Listening to Ken Pomeroy talk about her own work, you’re struck by her humility. She’s 23, but her music has already appeared on two major television shows — including one she also acts in alongside Ethan Hawke — she’s performed with legends like Wanda Jackson, John Craigie, and Iron & Wine, and she even sang and appeared in one of the biggest films of 2024, Twisters . Her sophomore album, Cruel Joke , released i

From the cool and mysterious Hope in Olivia Wilde’s coming-of-age hit Booksmart , to Maggie in the horror-thriller Ma —co-starring Octavia Spencer in the titular role about a group of teenagers who befriend a lonely older woman only for things to spiral into something much darker—Silvers has already made a name for herself in film, TV, and modeling.

But a year ago, she faced a devastating loss when her father suddenly passed away. In this new normal, she r

Colin Blunstone On Sixty Years Of The Zombies By: Josh Kitchen / October 28, 2025 Photo Credit: Andrew Eccles It’s the time of the season / When love runs high / What’s your name, who’s your daddy? Is he rich like me? Those lyrics from "Time Of The Season," By The Zombies tickle my brain in a way that so many other songs I love just don’t . You can hear the sultry drums and smooth “aahh’s” sung by lead singer Colin Blunstone, accompanied by Rod Argent’s neon-tinged kaleidosco
