SSG on JC, I mean REVERB.
(Click here to buy your REVERB wristbands) I'm sure the amount of REVERB pre-coverage hasn't gone unnoticed. However, even with all of the previews, this REVERB week would not be complete if SSG didn't talk to Mr. REVERB himself, the Music Editor of Seattle Weekly, Jonathan Cunningham. Most people might know Jonathan by his swagger, rugged good looks, and taste for Champagne, but SSG wanted [...]
