Halshack Ep 15.5 (INDIE FLAVORS) July 2019.. bonus show/music only
July is a great time to travel to the mountains or the beach. This is an awesome playlist to take for the car ride or chillin' and relaxin' under the sun! I have been listening to a fair amount of well-known indie playlists that were "good" or just OK, but not "GREAT" I look for STANDOUTS and I was left feeling less than inspired by these BIG lists with hundreds of thousands of subscribers or millions of plays on You Tube and Spotify. They just dont have access to or the knowledge of the music I...

Halshack Ep 14.5 (Happy Mothershack Day) 5-12-19..Bonus show (music only)
Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there. We're celebrating women around the Halshack. There seems to be a stigma and true statistics that back up the claim that there are far fewer women at the forefront of the music industry. You find alot more men and male bands with that the extra talent needed to push forward. Well you girls and ladies and Moms are just as awesome and you seem to always have to work harder to gain the attention of your peers and THAT'S UNFAIR!! Women are just as fantastic and can be super...

Halshack- NO DIRECTION- Ep 14.5 (Apr 2019-bonus)
Well everybody..Nashville was an eye opening and jaw dropping experience. Made some great connects and had some mishaps along the way that have sent my future plans into unknown territory. I've started a movement and made some real headway on the formation of Halshack Records. Only problem is I have no clear concise picture as to where to go next. As my life and label have no real direction right now...lol I'm kind of now in "no man's land" in between the nexus of something good and something stellar or legendary even. The sheer...
