JD McPherson — Signs & Signifiers
All 'Signs' point to excellence.
Rock
Matt Carney
If anybody in Oklahoma is most likely to capitalize on wide-audience distribution right now, it must be Broken Arrow’s R&B-flavored rocker JD McPherson, whose debut album, Signs & Signifiers, was re-released last week by Rounder Records.
B real
A decade together, work with high-profile artists, a widespread fan base — for one local R&B group, it’s all Meant2B.
Music
Ryan Querbach
