Welcome Back Home, Jesika
Photography by Myriah @silky.core I heard about Jesika back around the time I started the blog. This was 2019 -2020.

This was before I started going to shows, but to experience Jesika's music live in person will be an experience for me. Kristin reminded me about this show/shared the flyer with me What ha

Pedalo El Pueblo

That one way is - biking. Before starting this interview here are a few shout outs he'd like to give out "Big shoutout to the bike mechanics who keep me rolling: Josh (bea
