Onuinu’s (pronounced “on you in you”) Dorian Duvall is no stranger to music. The Cleveland-bred, Portland-based artist spent his childhood in church pews listening to his mother sing and play piano, and watching his grandparents perform, who in the 50’s toured the country as a honky-tonk gospel act. It’s no surprise then that Onuinu’s transition […]

The Endangered have been on the charts lately, especially with stations like KWVA, WSHC, and WSIA. Some stations haven’t been able to pin the group’s sound, which the quartet may in fact prefer.
