Touring on his new album I Will Set You Free , this British rocker stood alone on the tiny stage belting out tunes in one of the smoothest voices I've heard in awhile. The set was too short—hopefully, he'll be back. —Debi Del Grande [...]

It's too bad words are the only way to produce an album review because there aren't words to describe this album and I mean that as the highest of complements.

This was one of those shows where the sound engineer was a big reason why it became a bust. However it was Weapons of Audio's last show in LA before they returned home to Atlanta and I discovered another dynamic brother duo that night in Das Tapes. Two sets of brothers performed in Hotel Cafe [...]

I'm letting you all plan ahead for this one! I just found out the lovely Meiko - with her distinctly introspective voice and catchy melody lines - will be returning to Hotel Cafe on August 27th. When listening to her music, the first thing you hear is this beautiful, original voice. It is this combination between sweet and soulful, raspy and smooth.

Devine is playing his whole new album Between the Concrete and the Clouds at Hotel Cafe tonight and will soon be joined on stage by Morgan Kibby (White Sea, M83). His way with words and a simple riff never ceases to amaze me. So excited for this upcoming release.
