Soulful singer Nicholas David released his newest EP, Make Hope. The EP is his second release since finishing in third place on The Voice in 2012; he previewed two songs from the new release almost a year ago when he stopped by the Current's studios. David is now rehearsing for his December shows, including a Saturday gig at the Fitzgerald Theater.

Suns Up from the Velveteens drops this Saturday. The Minneapolis trio will be at the Hexagon Bar to release the new record by way of MJ MJ records and the Old Blackberry Way. The group is going all vintage with Suns Up being pressed on vinyl and released on cassette as well. “Moonlight Floral” is a good introduction to the Velveteens' sound, with crooned vocals and atmospheric reverb-soaked guitar.
