Holiday Slovak Soup

‘Nasty.’ -Jeanne Mehallo

One either likes it or hates it. No compromises. It’s my favorite soup, the recipe was given to my mother when I was a kid.

Wolf France

The incredible Chelsea Wolfe – local recording artist and vocal phenom – has the opportunity of touring France this coming March. All tied around the vinyl release of her new album, The Grime and the Glow.

As anyone in the music industry knows, the musicians aren’t the rich ones – and Chelsea is hoping to raise enough money to cover her travel costs. A small donation will help; anything over five bucks will snag you a parcel of personalized album artwork and never-released songs.

Donate here.

Below, Chelsea performing Flatlands in San Francisco. And if you’re in the Sacramento area, Chelsea will be at the new Crocker tonight at six.
