Digital Leather Looking for Help
Shawn Foree is probably my favorite singer / songwriter. Whenever I’m in a shit mood, I can toss on a Digital Leather album and feel either better about the world or angrier depending on which album I’ve chosen. So I saw that the band is looking for a bit of crowd sourcing to help put [...]
