"Reese Wynans, I came to know him when he joined Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble and then after Stevie Ray Vaughn was killed, he played with a lot of people but for the last few years he's primarily toured with Joe Bonamassa. He's an amazing keyboard player and a super guy. I didn't know him prior to working on this record but my friend Mark Prentice who produced it with me suggested we bring him in and it was a perfect call."



REVIEW: "The Price" at Two River Theater

by Gary Wien
published 2025-06-19

​​​​​​​(RED BANK, NJ) — There's something wonderful about seeing an Arthur Miller play performed on stage. I don't think any playwright ever connected with families and the internal drama within family relations like Miller did. One such example is The Price, which Two River Theater is presenting through June 29, 2025. It's a play rarely performed in the area, but the production directed by Brandon J. Dirden is highly recommended and furthers the powerful theme that runs through so many of Miller's works.

Winifred McNeill: "Between Air and Earth"

Any good cook will tell you that reducing something doesn't always mean diminishing it. Sometimes it's the best way to intensify its personality. Size, we've learned in the era of streaming entertainment on tiny phone screens, does not determine how clearly a thing communicates. If it fills our senses, it can slip right into our bloodstream.
