Austin based R&B soul singer and songwriter Kelly Hafner is set to embark on a US tour this August! She is touring in support of her new album If It's Love. Her show-stopping voice and unmistakably improvisational style keep listeners hooked from start to finish.

On Sunday, August 12, 2017, singer-songwriter Ellis Paul was performing away from his hometown of Charlottesville but returned Monday to a town that was emotionally broken apart. A right-wing protest surrounding the removal of a statue of Robert E Lee came to a horrifying conclusion resulting in the death of one counter-protester Heather Heyer, many injured, and a police helicopter crash that took the lives of two state troopers. Paul penned his song “The Battle Of Charlottesville” shortly after.

Corey Kilgannon has released the track "As Above, So Below" in anticipation of the upcoming August 23rd release of his album by the same name.

Krantz is proud to premiere “Misty Morning Dew”, a “a 90’s tinged alternative rocker that takes the whimsical yearnings of Tiny Music era Stone Temple Pilots, the ringing guitars of R.E.M.’s Monster and flashes of playful retro soul” on Glide Magazine.
