After having success in the UK Independent Charts with their debut single, “Turn On The Sky” back in October, it will be interesting to see how [...]

Acoustic Ladyland is an avant garde jazz band from England and by their name alone, it’s easy to see that they’re Hendrix fans. Their band name is a fun play on words using the title of Jimi Hendrix’s album Electric Ladyland originally released in 1968, to pay homage.
It’s good to see Jimi Hendrix being respected [...]
