I saw Sugar Ray in their heyday, back when 14:59 made fun of the claim that their 15 minutes was over, and Mark McGrath was as crazy on stage now as he was then. One of the earlier acts on the Grandview Stage at KAABOO, his Friday show saw a surprisingly large crowd for the […]
KAABOO Festival is unlike any Rock Festival you have ever been to. This year they had several of the top Chef’s in America that came to share their favorite recipes, do some signings and to serve as judges for a cooking contest among upcoming Chefs’. This was totally different for me personally and BackStage360 as […]
Many of my friends have accounts of their festival experiences with me and there always seems to be a standout group that just blows them away. Shovels & Rope was that band for me…hands down. But, you can’t really call them a band since there are only two of them, even though they sure sound […]

The mid-westerner moved here to follow his […]
