J.Viewz - Cool done right
It’s in no way easy to pull off “cool” in the music business, especially as a young artist.

I had already been looping Matt Nathanson’s break out album “Some Mad Hope” for months before I found myself taking the trip into downtown Washington, DC to interview one of today’s top bands, Lifehouse at the famed 9:30 Club.
