Michael McDonald is one of those artists that just seems to have flown under the radar for most of his career. He’s the type of person that would probably actually prefer that but his accomplishments over that past forty years speaks volumes about where his priorities truly are. We sat down with Michael during his […]
Built in 1924, the Balboa Theatre was a grand 1920s vaudeville/movie palace with a seating capacity of 1,534. As part of the Fox West Coast circuit, the Balboa featured live vaudeville and movies but tonight the crowd is gathering for a very special event. Tonight’s performance will consist of Stephen Stills (vocals,guitars), Kenny Wayne Shepard […]
Welcome to the Weirdness! I heard Sunflower Dead’s song “Dance with Death” for the first time a few weeks before their 2nd album “It’s Time to get Weird” was due to be released. I played the song three times in a row that first day and the next day I woke up with the tune […]
There is nothing more relaxing than a sunset over the ocean and Kenny Rogers getting ready to take the stage at the San Diego Fair in Del Mar. The setting was perfect for an enjoyable night with the legend himself and his amazing band. A knee replacement made it difficult for Kenny to get to […]

Italian band Trick or Treat started out as a tribute to the band Helloween in 2002. After several years of successfully playing Helloween songs, they built a following and began writing their own material. Their first release “Evil Needs Candy Too.” was released in 2006. Next, came “Tin Soldiers” followed by Rabbits’ Hill Part 1. […]
I have a question for all of you! How do you create a perfect day? Not too long ago there was such a day, it was on May 22nd 2016 and the weather was perfect and the birds were singing and 300 plus Harley Davidson’s filled the morning with a thunderous roar as they […]
Do you remember when you were 16 years old? I was excited for getting my drivers license, thinking about that girl in English class, and wondering what college to was right for me…sounds about average, and that’s anything BUT what the teenagers of Doll Skin are in to. These girls are wild and outrageous punk […]
