We aren’t crazy about lyric videos here at Vodka, but we have to make exceptions when the music is this good. It is, after all, about the music here and Gregory Ackerman’s music silently asks to be heard. Enter Keep Falling from his debut long-player And Friends due out in May. There is almost no information about Gregory Ackerman except what is available via a couple of articles featuring him and his music: One at Attwood Magazine and one on For Folk’s Sake. No website, except this one that links…
