Thankful, Grateful, and Ready to Rock 2023
As the leaves fall and musicians finish up tours to head back into the studio, we encourage all our readers and artists to take a moment to think about the year so far. Reflection can be beneficial on a personal and professional level and the Holiday season invokes a nostalgia like no other time of year. We sat down with several music artists in the area to hear what they’re grateful for and looking forward to in the months ahead.
Callum

I’m thankful for the support and love from everyone around me, from my family and friends to producers, band mates, media outlets and fans. I’m also very thankful for all of the opportunities to showcase my music, from recording to concerts and festivals.
What are you looking forward to?
I’m looking forward to Headlining my first Concert at the Globe in Berlin, sponsored by Soundstorm Records. And also to Headlining the NYE Ball drop in Berlin!

Joe Michelini (Of American Trappist)
What are you thankful for?
I'm thankful for the opportunity to be a part of such a rich community of artists in the Philadelphia region. So many bands, songwriters, activists, and true freaks of all kinds feel like family to me. The warmth of collective empowerment is so real and so rare.
What are you looking forward to?
I'm looking forward to change. We've seen so much change in the last few years, for better and for worse, that anyone who doesn't think anything is possible is lying to themselves. Indeed, we have the power to shape our community through our relationships with one another. I can feel the potential for love and I know I'm not alone.
