Brooklyn’s pre-hipster zine-cum-proper quarterly and online publication covering emergent artists on the brink of popping into larger culture landscapes, I landed at Sentimentalist when living in Williamsburg, looking for passion projects on downtime while at Rolling Stone.
News, album reviews, feature stories and interviews took up the brunt of my workload, pitching artists that were criminally being ignored by other publications, while live coverage and press conference assignments landed on my plate, as well, serving Sentimentalist’s desire to eventually grow beyond the indie darling subset.
Highlights:
Lollapalooza 2011
‘Perry Ferrel’s Alt-Circus kicks off year 20‘ (Day I), ‘The Kids Were Not Alright‘ (Day II), ‘Foo-real Nostalgia‘ (Day III)
