Just Around The Corner – 2/14
Happy Monday. A new week, new events. A new playlist will be updated tomorrow. One of the new events I’m really excited about attending will be Esperanza Spalding’s show on March 4th. I caught her big win yesterday at the Grammy’s and could not be more excited. Only a hand full of folks on my facebook feed even knew who she was and this morning everyone is asking “Who is Esperanza Spalding ” ? I will be profiling another grammy nominated artist whom folks know little about, Caroyln Malachi. So next year if she gets another nomination, you will not be in the dark about this great artist.
