Ep 40 ComicPop Rockin’ in the Dirt with Lady Low

The ComicPop Crew had the pleasure of Lady Low sharing their album, And They Say Romance Is Dead with us.  The drop of this album and the timing of our review isn’t a coincidence happening around Valentine’s Day.  Lady Low released the album on February 12 and today is the drop of our podcast for them.  So happy Valentine’s Day from ComicPop Library and Lady Low with their album And They Say Romance Is Dead.  Thanks to Lady Low and Katie Trimble of The MuseBox for their continued support of ComicPop Library.

And I’m Back

comicpoplogo-facebook2april1

If you were wondering why it was quiet here the last few days it’s because I took a small vacation.  As I mentioned on our Facebook account but not on the site April Brookman one of our Co-Hosts, made it to the Nebraska Wesleyan University’s Honor Band.  Since this was on her own and not through the local school district we had to get her to Lincoln and stay with her during her practice through her performance.  So that’s is where we have been since last Wednesday.  I’m happy to report she did us and ComicPop proud.  She made 5th chair in her section and the guest conductor, John Kilkenny (BM @ The Juilliard School & MM @ Temple University), let her conduct the band during one of their rehearsal sessions.  She was fabulous as always and you can tell I’m a proud Father – Richard
