Music Week, as we've spent so much time recently locked away in the studio working on the new album "As The Crow Flies" that we're counting down the days to premiere it for fans and the industry in T-Dot. It's going to be a crazy funk party, prairie style!" commented Abstract Artform MC Shea Malcolmson.
