April 3, 2016 Trev

As I made my way in to the Scotiabank Centre, I had Johnny Reid's most recent album What Love is All About playing so that I was somewhat prepared for the show I was about to witness. The track "I Feel Like Goin' Home" struck a chord, as I had spent a great deal of time at…Read More
