Manhattan Digest Exclusive With The ‘Psychedelic’ Chris Ruben Band

by Ryan Shea

Chris Ruben Band
I sort of giggled when I first heard that Long Island’s very own The Chris Ruben Band partially referred to themselves as “psychedelic”. That’s because it’s a word barely if ever used in the music industry anymore, so their sound immediately caught my eye for all the right reasons.

Two Men in Love: An Interview with PS Classics’ Philip Chaffin

by Ryan Leeds

Philip Chaffin has a story to tell. Actually, he has one to sing. The co-founder of PS Classics has recently released an album which spans a life fully lived from the gay perspective–from the nervous first date through the loss of a partner. “Will He Like Me” is a collection of both well-known and rare gems. Produced with his husband Tommy Krasker, the album has been selected as a 2018 NY Times pick for Gift Giving. Times critic Jesse Green wrote,   “Chaffin turns the great songs of love gay, merely by refusing to alter the titles and pronouns. From “When I Marry Mr. Snow,” to “I Got Lost in His Arms,” he tells a familiar story that has never sounded so new.”
