To cap off the upcoming events December 1st @ 7pm urbanXchange presents the band “Ghosts and Liars” in from NY and featuring lead singer of the now defunct popular local group “some by sea”. if you haven’t heard this guy in person you have really missed a treat.  Grammy quality voice that sends chills.  (check it out -though recording does not do his voice justice-definetely an “instrument” that has to be experienced in person… at www.myspace.com/ghostsandliars or www.myspace.com/somebysea

In the works: building a stage in urbanXchange to showcase these great talents properly!
