The Parrot head’s appeared to be dancing and swaying before the music even started, but maybe that was because of the copious amounts of alcohol consumed on day one of KAABOO Del Mar, where a crazy San Diego week’s end demanded a touch of the tropics. Jimmy Buffett and The Coral Reefer band were sure […]

Even though I have seen Lenny a few times, this time was different. What Lenny always brings to his shows is energy and fun. This time he came with an 11 piece band! Horns with three backup singers and of course, the Lenny Swagger. His music has a FUNK, R/B, SOUL feel to it. Even […]

Funk-rock musician Dan Reed steps out of his comfort-zone and hits the curve ball with ‘Fight Another Day.’ The Dan Reed Network (1) has been around since the 1980’s, hailing from the smooth-jazz style #1 hit “Steal Me”, but that might feel like eons ago compared to the hard rocking track “Divided” opening their 2016 return […]
