From competing on “The Voice” last year with her sister, Claire, shooting a new video at Penn Museum for a song from her forthcoming album to performing at South By Southwest, Ali still found time to squeeze in a show at Johnny Brenda’s this February before … Continue reading

To remedy the situation, start your week by watching Will discuss his 2012 solo album, Scorpion, and perform “You Will Be Here, Mine” for American Songwriter. If you are … Continue reading
