Donavon Frankenreiter – “Shine”
The whole purpose of the YouTube Gem segment is to help people find exceptional music that seems to be slipping through the cracks. Sometimes that’s an undiscovered artist. Often it’s a known artist doing a recording that most of us don’t know exist. …
Fiction Family – Reunion
Often times, collaborations turn out to be much hype and excitement but very little execution. But sometimes, as if by magic, different artists come together after making wildly different music and produce something unique and incredible. Fiction Family is the moniker adopted by …

Robinson – “Sidewalk Reunion”
Robinson recently released an EP, Fits & Starts, that we talked about before Christmas and the first track on the 3 song EP is this one, called “Sidewalk Reunion”. It’s a really cool, mostly acoustic track with some great vocals and interesting percussion. The …
