by Danny Coleman - published 2024-10-03
"We are in Skokie, Illinois, just finished up in Canada and we're playing Chicago tomorrow," said Billy Bob Thornton, a.k.a "Bud" of The Boxmasters as he and guitarist/producer J.D.

The Headless Horseman Rides Again in the Legend of Sleepy Hollow at Mile Square Theatre
by Carolyn M. Brown, JerseyArts.com - published 2024-10-03
The beloved tale of Ichabod Crane, the Headless Horseman, and the town of Sleepy Hollow is woven into the fabric of American folklore. A witty adaptation of Washington Irving's timeless ghost story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," comes to life on stage, October 3-20, 2024, at the Mile Square Theatre in Hoboken, New Jersey. The 80-minute show is full of twists, turns, and tee-hees, all told by one man, Shawn K. Jain, performing courtesy of the Actors' Equity Association. Jain embodies a variety of characters using vocal and physical changes to transform seamlessly from one person to the next.

New Release Review - "Apartment 7A"
by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com - published 2024-10-03
Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby is the latest beloved horror movie to get the uncalled-for prequel treatment. The motivation for such ventures is generally down to simple brand recognition, yet the almost non-existent marketing for Apartment 7A makes no mention of its connection to the 1968 film, either because the suits at Paramount want to distance themselves from persona non grata Polanski or they have such a low opinion of director Natalie Erika James's film that they want to avoid damaging their acclaimed IP (the latter would be a first for a Hollywood studio).

Wonderland in Tuckerton at the Lizzie Rose Music Room
by Danny Coleman - published 2024-10-02
"A little bit of all of it; the perpetual state of making music," laughed guitarist Carolyn Wonderland as she discussed her songwriting, her fascination with blues music from a young age, bail money and much more before her upcoming appearance with Shelley King and Cindy Cashdollar on October 6 at The Lizzie Rose Music Room in Tuckerton, NJ. "On this trip, I'm teaching at the Masters of the Telecaster camp upstate. So, since I'm there, me, Shelley King and Cindy Cashdollar decided; why not do a couple of shows? So, it's just the three of us, we're gonna have ourselves a good time; you'll hear some of my songs, some of Shelley's songs, she's got a new record too and of course Cindy; my God, every day is better with Cindy."
