Azalea POP

I first had Saw Black on my show back in 2012 and immediately called him one of my favorite local songwriters. Last year, his album, Azalea Days on Crystal Pistol Records, was the most played album on WRIR 97.3 fm Richmond Independent Radio. I’ll have him in the studio with me this afternoon to play some songs and talk about what’s next.
