Covert Concert Series (CCS): a team of professionals offering artists the production and platform to live stream their music, has streamed local talent such as Echos Talk Back, Plynth, AMFM, Hunter Root (of Medusa’s Disco), and Uncle Jake & the 18 Wheel Gang since its late-May conception.
Single Release: “Complete” by Better Human
“When the pandemic hit the East Coast and venues shuttered their doors, Better Human scaled back out of necessity, playing virtual sets in a solo or smaller band configuration with Wexler taking over lead vocals. New single ‘Complete,’ released on Halloween, bears the marks of this transition without sacrificing any of the band‘s core sonic DNA.”

#ThrowbackThursday album review: Gnomon, The Clock Reads
Gnomon, The Clock Reads’ second LP, is an excellent primer on their unique sound and personality as a band. The instrumental jazz quartet makes use of two guitarists along with bass and drums, a relatively unusual configuration that raises challenges ably met by the ensemble.
Album Review: “Impact” by U.S.E. Trio
“Here, the lack of a conventional harmony instrument allows the trio to communicate their ideas with nothing more than the unadorned essentials: rhythm, bass, and melody. The musicians deploy the full extent of their resources to ensure the listener never feels that absence. The focus, energy, and precision of the ensemble’s interplay and the fluency of their improvisation provide plenty to occupy a listener’s attention.”
