Mike Trask under a Yellow Sky  

From Grid City Magazine: “Yellow Sky, [Mike Trask’s] second single of 2020, continues down this path. The song begins with a dark groove that lands somewhere between stoner-funk and pure psych-rock, with Trask pushing his voice and range to the peak with a challenge that seems to sum up his entire creative vision in one short phrase – You change your world, I’ll change mine. A big blue sun in a yellow sky. What more needs to be said? The accompanying video created by Amanda Fox takes it over the top.”  +++ info >

Tucker just released a new Christmas album aptly titled Peppermints. Tucker, who grew up loving music was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2005.
