By Nicole Garman of Indie Band Guru Unless you’ve been living under a radio rock, you’re familiar with Queen Adele and the world’s love affair with… well, her love affairs. And sure, her big soulful voice and all that jazz, too. Take that Adele presence, add a dash of Ingrid Michaelson softness and a touch […]
