We’ve been pretty preoccupied lately with looking back at 2011, now it’s time to look forward to 2012. We talked about some of the exciting albums and shows we’re looking forward to, including one of the biggest and best shows, which goes down Saturday at the West End, when Ridley Bent is joined by Nathan and various special guests. Ridley and his guitarist, Chris Dunn, were our special guests this week, as they dropped by to chat and play some new songs.
