Reg Green Reg Green is the father of Nicholas Green, a seven-year-old California boy who was shot in Italy in a botched robbery in 1994. The decision by Reg and his wife, Maggie, to donate his organs and corneas, which went to seven Italians, four of them teenagers, led to a worldwide increase in awareness of the shortage of donors. In Italy alone organ donation rates have more than quadrupled so that thousands of people are alive who would have died.

Sean Hayes Sean Hayes’s old-time, folk roots still show through at times, but now they’re brushing up against a soul vibe that simmers slowly to a boil on his latest release, Run Wolves Run. Over the last decade, his six full-length albums reveal this evolution of sound. Poetic, sensual and surreal, the lyrics are equal part to the rhythm, beat and melody.
