CD Review: Riley Etheridge Jr — Powder Keg; Playing Smith’s Olde Bar, April 14
Riley Etheridge Jr. Powder Keg Rock Ridge Music By Al Kaufman Riley Etheridge Jr is one of those man’s man type of guys. One can picture him behind the wheel of a Chevy pick-up, or raking his yard. He doesn’t seem like a leaf blower type of guy. He rakes, gets calluses, then goes in […]

CD Review: Eddie Spaghetti — Sundowner; Playing Smith’s Olde Bar, March 25 and 26
