After a short hiatus of The Blue Mountain Review and Dante’s New South Radio Show, both will return with a new design team, social media manager, and advertising firm. We needed a season to prune and revive fresh energy into projects we love so much.

To kick off the next Blue we have Prince Stash leading the way with fashion icons Kayla Lookinghorse-Smith and Patricia Michaels, musician Dario Plevnik, the inspirational Trent Tribe, web designer Frank T.
