UNLOCKING THE TRUTH
ABOUT
There is a particular moment right before fame strikes a young musician—between the full flowering of talent and believing in a dream so pure and strong as to feel bulletproof—which at the same time is almost imperceptible as it is happening. In watching Malcolm Brickhouse and Jarad Dawkins of the band Unlocking The Truth, this metaphysical friction is in full effect.
