Mat and Mag Nostalgia

I saw pop/rock singer/songwriter Mat Kearney in concert last night at Dimnent Chapel.  Having seen Kearney twice before -- once in 2006 and once in 2015, the night was a bit nostalgic.  In honor of nostalgia, I have posted a photo of the Mat Kearney album review I wrote for HM Magazine above.  The review was my take on his breakout record, Nothing Left to Lose, and was published in the July/August 2006 edition of the now-online-only mag.
