Concert By: Mina Kim
If you haven't heard, the world has reopened and with it, the return of live music. We all knew it was temporary -- this, "lock yourself away from your neighbors, friends and family, and hunker down" hoping, praying for any sign that this nightmare was beginning to ebb. And as a collective, we continue to err on the side of caution, however I can't help but embrace this return to normalcy where the familiar melodies from Our favorite artists are quickly rising above The oppressive weight of the pandemic and bringing with it a celebratory atmosphere of freedom. One artist, in particular, is once again making the rounds and dazzling the multitudes eager to see her perform: Ms. Selina Albright. I've been following Selina for many years, and from an enthusiast's perspective I'm simply awestruck with the depth of her musical evolution.
