Welcome to my site! I am a Midwest-born, New-England-bred journalist, musician, and teacher. I’ve written about music and culture for publications like Rolling Stone and The Boston Globe, and I play a kind of 1950s-style retro-pop for guitar and piano. (You may have caught me crooning in various spots around Boston, Las Vegas, or Miami, where I live now.)

I know there’s lots of A&E blogs in the universe, but I’m hoping to add my own little slice of commentary. Don’t be a stranger…

Hello goodbye,

JSA
