February might be the shortest month, but it’s a busy one. In the dust that settles after the holidays, musicians can be found rushing to get fresh material out in the brief lull just ahead of all the festival announcements. We might be a long way from summer, but soo enough we’ll know what we’re looking forward to.
Also, have we mentioned lately how good that new Pineo & Loeb album is?
