We come full circle. 15 years ago a young Huey Mack came into the studio with some beats and a dream. We knew he was something special.

Huey was back this week visiting home and working on his new podcast with another Morgantown artist Charles Wesley Godwin that is blowing up in his lane as well.

Be sure to check out new music from Huey very soon and Charles has new music out right now!

We are proud to have our hands in making great music and artist here in WV.

We have been supporting the music programs in Monongalia county for 20+ years. We continue that support with University High School and their band program in 2021. We had the privileged of working with Mark Palmer, director, to bring the band's virtual concert alive this year. Thanks to The Dominion Post for the continued support of arts in the region.
