The Trials & Tribulations of Lonely C. - While Charles Levine aka Lonely C's work on his debut solo album Charles & Tribulations meant spending time apart from his Soul Clap partner Eli Goldstein, it was a chance for him to connect not only with new musicians, but to reconnect with himself. By Lauren Krieger.
