A frontwoman who blatantly was born to be in the spotlight with lyric imagery rivaling that of the best horror movies. “Witch of the East has no limits, no compromises. It’s an honest interpretation of your surroundings. A harsh but beautiful world! Being free to say what you really mean! No matter who is listening”. Next Manchester gig: Sun 12th […]

Throughout his late teens […]

Gravedancer Hillbilly, NOT redneck! If you can’t tell the distinction, I prefer moonshine and skinny dipping over Coors Light and Nascar. Banjo’s and fiddles over Kid Rock. Yard full of feral dogs over yard full of rusted motors. Hailing from the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas, I’m traveling the world to lyrically dump out my purse in public. Sometimes on my lonesome, sometimes with the backing band of some friends who are far more talented than me.  Gravedancer is what the music is called,  but […]
