Soulfully Unplugged

🎙️ IT’S HERE! The very first episode of Touch of Soul Podcast is officially live! 🎙️
And what better way to kick things off than with the incredibly talented Beks!
Touch of Soul Podcast was created to go beyond the music and get to the heart of the people behind it. These aren’t your typical interviews. We’re talking stories, inspiration, struggles, victories, creative chaos, and all the moments that shape an artist’s journey.
This first conversation with Beks is heartfelt, honest, and exactly the kind of energy I hope to bring to every episode moving forward.
✨ AND NOW FOR THE EXCITING PART... ✨
I’m officially opening up applications for future guests!
- Are you a musician?
- An artist?
- A creator?

My interview with Beks is officially up! 🎤🇦🇺
Singer, songwriter, and in my opinion, well on her way to becoming Australia’s next pop sensation.
Sometimes the algorithm gets it exactly right. Beks popped up on my feed, and one song—Unlike the Rest—found its way straight to my heart. From that moment, I knew I wanted to know the artist behind the music.
Getting to sit down with Beks and talk about the moments, the music, the journey, and everything that makes Beks… well, Beks… was such an honor. She is every bit as genuine, thoughtful, and captivating as the songs she writes.
And if that wasn’t exciting enough… 👀 Be sure to tune in because she shares a HUGE announcement that’s happening this Friday! Trust me, you’re going to want to hear it from her.
Go show Beks some love, check out the interview, and if you walk away as big a fan as I did, then I’ve done my job. 💛

TONIGHT AT 6 PM!
Another episode of Soulfully Unplugged is about to drop, and trust me... this one goes deeper than you might expect.
I sat down with No Take Backs for one of the most unhinged, honest, and genuinely fun conversations I've had. We dive into:
-The bands and artists that inspired them.
-The story behind their music.
- The trauma that unexpectedly bonded them together as a band.
And, of course... the conversation goes completely off the rails more than once (would it really be Soulfully Unplugged if it didn't?).
This isn't just another band interview. It's a reminder that sometimes the strongest friendships and the best music come from the hardest moments. No Take Backs wears their hearts on their sleeves, and after this conversation, there's a good chance you'll be heading straight to your favorite streaming platform to check them out.
Set your reminders, grab your favorite drink, and come hang out with us.
Premieres Tonight at 6 PM!
If you enjoy discovering bands before everyone else does, this one's for you. 🤘🎥.

When Skies Decide is one of those bands that doesn't need much of an introduction once they hit the stage—their music and presence do all the talking.

I've had the chance to catch these guys live more than once, and every single time they remind me why they're one of my favorite bands to see. From the first note to the last breakdown, When Skies Decide brings an energy that's impossible to ignore. Their blend of crushing riffs, raw emotion, and commanding stage presence creates the kind of set that doesn't just entertain you—it pulls you in and dares you to step closer to the pit.

The Lost Horizon was no exception. The band delivered a relentless performance that had the crowd locked in from start to finish. Whether you're a longtime fan of the local hardcore scene or someone looking for your next favorite band, When Skies Decide is a name you need on your radar.

If you missed them at The Lost Horizon, don't make that mistake twice. Catch them tomorrow, Monday the 20th, at The Song & Dance in Syracuse, NY. Trust me—you'll want to experience this one for yourself.

I'm also incredibly excited to be sitting down with these guys for an upcoming Soulfully Unplugged interview. If their live show is any indication, it's going to be an absolute blast. Stay tuned because you won't want to miss what's shaping up to be a wild conversation with one of the most exciting rising hardcore bands around.

🎤🔥 See you in the pit. 📸

Some nights are just shows.

Other nights become part of a venue’s history.

Watching Glasswaves take the stage at The Lost Horizon felt like one of those moments. These are guys who grew up coming to this room just like so many of us. To see them return and play to a venue that was nearly sold out? That’s the kind of full-circle story every hometown band dreams about.

You could feel it in every corner of the room—the fans singing every word, friends cheering louder than the speakers, and a band taking in a moment they earned. There wasn’t a single person who wasn’t feeding off that energy.

If every night at The Lost Horizon looked and felt like this, the local music scene would be unstoppable.

Glasswaves has a way of pulling you into every emotion they pour into their music. You don’t just hear their songs—you feel them right alongside the band. Between the incredible musicianship, captivating stage presence, and the undeniable connection with the crowd, this was a night that won’t be forgotten anytime soon.

Here’s to hometown bands, hometown venues, and nights that remind us exactly why live music matters.

🎶 Soulfully Unplugged
Where the people behind the music are just as unforgettable as the music itself. photography
