If you’ve ever told your kids not to draw on the walls, perhaps it’s time to rethink that stance. Artist Havoc Hendricks has made a living drawing fine art on walls, snowboards, clothing, canvas and more. He was the fidgety kid that never grew out of always doing something with his hands.   When he was in grad school, Havoc spent his free time painting. When he sold his … [Read more...]

Weight Loss: How I Did It

January 19, 2016 by Emily McLean 3 Comments

Sometimes change is necessary, but it’s generally not easy. One of my biggest life changes came in May of 2014. My exceptionally high sense of self-esteem and eternal optimism have always been an asset, except that there were times when it held me back. I liked myself the way I was, which made it extremely difficult to acknowledge a need to change without feeling depressed … [Read more...]

Mojave Nomads

July 30, 2015 by Emily McLean Leave a Comment

A love for rock ‘n’ roll spurred the formation of Mojave Nomads. After attending a concert, lead singer Tyler Harris and guitarist Colter Hill thought, “Why can’t we do that? We love rock ‘n’ roll too!” Drummer Cole Eisenhour had jammed with Colter back in high school and a call out on Twitter for a bassist brought in Bryton Bell. The summer of 2014 saw them writing songs … [Read more...]

Utah Music – Static Waves

April 2, 2015 by Emily McLean Leave a Comment

It’s a faux pas to throw your own birthday party, but that didn’t stop Static Waves. Together for one year, the band celebrated in style with a sold-out show at the popular Velour Live Music Gallery in Provo. Many greats have taken the same stage, including Neon Trees and Imagine Dragons, yet Static Waves held their own. "For us, it was exciting. We’ve done a lot in our … [Read more...]
