Washinton Post - Delta Rae

 "When you are in a six-piece band that features four lead singers and three siblings, you would think that things would get complicated, right? Not so for Delta Rae, the North Carolina-based group performing at Sixth and I Synagogue on Tuesday. After a year of touring and releasing a five-song EP in 2010, the band just released a new single, “Bottom of the River,” an intense movement that has drops of blues, soul and rock. Brothers Ian and Eric Hölljes talked with Click Track about using Kickstarter to fund their new LP, keeping the sibling rivalry at bay, and how even the creation of their band name was a family affair."

ABA Journal - Nancy Buirski/The Loving Story

"For most lawyers, the U.S. Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia is a familiar one. The 1967 decision struck down Virginia’s antimiscegenation statute, which prohibited and criminalized interracial marriage. Now a documentary film is bringing to light the story of the people behind the seminal civil rights decision... Filmmaker Nancy Buirski says she became interested in making The Loving Story after reading Mildred Loving’s obituary in the New York Times after her death in 2008... Buirski, for her part, says the documentary has unusual relevance today with the debate over marriage equality and the racially blended society in which we now live."
