romangianarthurName: Roman GianArthurHometown: Winston-Salem. North CarolinaAge: I'm not at liberty to say.Age You First Fell in Love: 97Love Is: I'm in love right now. [I ask him what he loves about them to which he replies] I'm not at liberty to say.On What Inspires His Creativity: Before he answers, he asks me what I think love is. "That's a good answer. Love. Life and love [inspire my art].If you have never heard of Roman GianArthur, stop depriving yourself. He has an amazingly beautiful and controlled voice and his guitar playing seems to come to him with ease. Take a peek at my favorite performance from him, as he covers Radiohead's High and Dry.

Calhoun and Manuel

May 01, 2014 by Monique Ameyo in Love Is

calhounI ran into friends Calhoun and Manuel the day of the OutKast show. They weren't really trying to talk about love, so we talked about their love for OutKast and what brought them to CounterPoint.Name: Calhoun (left)Hometown: Southwest Atlanta, GeorgiaAge: 33On OutKast: I grew up listening to them and as much as I like them, as much as I've grown up on them, coming to see them was on my bucket list. As African-American men they spoke to us, made us swallow our pride and realize it (life) is what it is.Name: Manuel (right)Hometown: Atlanta, GeorgiaAge: 30On OutKast: Man, I just grew up on that shit. It brings back a lot of memories.
