Citations Musical Background
Our open house this weekend, The Citation, has a surprisingly musical background.

J.D. McPherson used the living room as a backdrop for the album art on his critically acclaimed new album “Signs and Signifiers”
and Nick Lowe featured the house in the song “House for Sale” off of his latest album Old Magic.
