What Do Dads Want for Father’s Day


What Do Dads Want for Father’s Day

We recently surveyed 300 Mocha Man Style readers about Father’s Day. According to our findings, nearly one-third of dads (32 percent) confessed they’ve had family members who completely forgot about them on Father’s Day. More than half (57 percent of fathers) confessed to receiving a Father’s Day gift they did not like. Some of the worst Father’s Day gifts included a painted rock, a tie with Santa Clauses on it, and a coffee mug for the 4th year in a row. To prevent dads from being disappointed this year, I asked dads to tell me exactly what they want for Father’s Day.

Brandon J. Marks Is Building a Career on Sound, Story, and Intention Brandon J. Marks is a producer, songwriter, and genre-bending artist who approaches music as a language rather than a product. His work centers on narrative and restraint, built for durability rather than trend cycles. “At my core, I am a storyteller, and every song begins with what the heart is feeling in real time,” he said. “I let the sound lead me, then I allow the lyrics to form as an honest response to that emotion....

Destiny’s Child by Candlelight The Candlelight concert at the Bell Tower offered a version of Destiny’s Child and Beyoncé’s music that felt more intimate than what most listeners are used to hearing.

Watching that happen deepened my own appreciation for the songs. Read Article Beauty and the Beast: The Musical Sitting in the Hobby Center watching this...
