TInsley Mortime\'s debut novel gives readers a sneak peek into the lavish life of a southern girl, working in fashion PR in New York City.
The main character, Minty Davenport moves to the big city upon graduating from college and is immersed in a totally different world. Tinsley was born in Virginia and can relate, “I’m from the south, moved to the city… so it parallels my life in a way…it was fun to do,” she said.
New York based Aways Away definitely has a unique sound that is best described as punk/indie rock. We caught up with them at their show at Webster Hall in NYC and got the scoop.
Lead singer, Evan De Augustinis feels he was meant for the industry, “I’ve been playing music my whole life, I grew up with music, my father played in bands his whole life…music is in my blood,” he says.
So where does the inspiration come from?
“These are crazy times that we’re living in, so it’s not hard to make it into a song.”
Their album, Some Things We'll Never Know is available now on ITunes.
