The Editor’s pick of videos by some awfully talented people. Eclectic Extraordinaire Songstress Eliza Rickman first crossed the RedFence radar when she opened for Nick Jaina at a tiny art gallery venue in LA. That night she snared us with her haunting melodies and bittersweet lyrics, performed one-man-band style on an antique toy piano, bass […]
