The UK is going to hell in a handcart. At least, that’s what James Whale thinks, so he’s taking matters into his own hands. Ladies and gentleman of the electorate, brace yourselves for James Whale’s Manifesto: Getting Britain Back on Track in 2012. In each episode, the outspoken broadcaster will be throwing down the gauntlet to a trio of opinionated guests to thrash out solutions to the country’s woes, from healthcare to housing, from economics to unemployment. An audio-jolt to jump-start the system, a hangover cure for political apathy, a slap in the face for a weary democracy- would James Whale get your vote?

American singer-songwriter KB Lauryl (formerly Krista Baroni) is committed to the craft of songwriting. Through her exploration of open guitar tunings and evocative lyrics, she keeps her inspiration from the Laurel Canyon songwriters of the 1960s and 70s close with the hopes of carrying the torch to pass on to future generations.

Her last album, The Alabaster Girl, was well received by audiences and critics alike. Victor Infante of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette called it “the most beautiful album I've heard in a long time." And Boston blog Red Line Roots said "Warm textures, great songwriting, and a timeless quality define Baroni’s latest effort. This record just scratches the surface of how deep this songwriter’s talent runs."

These days KB is keeping a low profile living a quiet life with her husband, two rescue cats, and rescue goldfish in their fixer-upper house in New London County, Connecticut. She is currently working on writing new songs for an eventual full-length album.
