Ahhh, so much this week. Literally sooo much. Last night, I went to a free pop-up concert and got to interview an artist I’ve been a longtime fan of. The interview drops tomorrow! Cheers to new endeavors and discovering new music.

Now, your turn: we’ve got two chances for you to see Antibalas, Brooklyn’s horn-heavy Afrobeat crew that makes the whole crowd feel like part of the band. Enter to win.
