Works For Me
Posi-Tone debuts their latest musical collective under the apt band name of Works For Me. This carefully curated presentation by Producer Marc Free focuses on combining the individual talents of several emerging performers into a cohesive camaraderie that succeeds in providing us with a series of enjoyably emotional performances of clarity and sincerity. The album is titled ”Reach Within” and the band consists of the following group of talented musicians.
