Welcome back everyone to “The Really REAL Real Estate Podcast!” Over the last several months, we have recorded several episodes talking about why someone may or may not want to list their home over a given holiday weekend. Today, we keep this theme going by talking about the pros and cons of listing your home over the Thanksgiving weekend as we head into this wonderful holiday weekend!
TALKING POINTS (3-5): - Introduction - PROS: - Serious buyers only are coming to check out your home! - It’s a holiday weekend, so there is less competition! - With the craze of the spring/summer markets this past year, there’s a good chance for the “overflow” of buyers who haven’t found anything yet and are still looking. - Many businesses and offices are closed for the long weekend, so people are available to tour homes. - Many people travel for the Thanksgiving weekend, so there is a potential for out-of-town buyers to come look at your home. - CONS: - It’s a big family holiday where business usually stops for the weekend (this means a great deal less buyers looking at your home)! - It’s one of the biggest holidays where people travel, so just as there may be people from out-of-town visiting and wanting to look at your home, people who live in your community may be out-of-town that weekend! - Additionally, hunting season is very big for our area! - The weather is most likely not cooperating. - No one in the lending or title world is available from approx. Tuesday before Thanksgiving to the Wednesday after Thanksgiving! - The house will not close before the New Year. - If you happen to go under contract over the holiday weekend, you have to factor in the three major holidays into the number of days needed to close on your home. - You can’t mess with price. - If you are not living in the home, you are still responsible for the home until the day of closing.
- Any fun plans for the holiday weekend?!
- Final thoughts

Get your copy while supplies last! The first 22 years of the twenty-first century have seen a major decline in the presence of rock bands and artists gracing the pop charts. This has led a lot of people to utter the statement; "rock is dead". But is it? If it isn't where did it go? Where is all the great guitar-driven music that used to populate the charts and mainstream/corporate radio? On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus, Independence Day edition, we will do a deep dive into the state of rock in the third decade of the twenty-first century and answer the questions where is rock? Why did it disapear (for the most part ) from pop radio? Can it ever come back? Topics Discussed: The day the music died (not the first time rock has "died") The perfect storm that allowed rock to flourish music business and audio technology business... are the same business i.e. RCA Follow the leader..rock so called "Changing tastes" grunge rap & hip hop MTV stops playing music videos Enter "big tech" high speed internet mp3 "piracy ruined my band" massive revenue dries up the labels are too short sighted...or are they??? the wild west and the "democratization" of the music business
Socio-political changes the Berlin wall 911 corporate consolidation
Music becomes cheap and easy
no danger
massive increase in concert ticket prices
the smart phone ...the giant step backwards
rock goes underground and it's EVERYWHERE!
what can we do to help rock survive and thrive
should we just let it go? reference: New and notable: Kevin: Lily: Wild Street... "Mother" Lou: August Zadra Lyrics With Loudini: Long Live Rock -The Who This Day In Music https://www.thisdayinmusic.com

In 2014 while a lot of bands were producing hip-hop flavored rock and nu-metal, there were a few select bands who reminded us why we fell in love with rock and roll in the first place. Rival Son's was one of those bands. Check out the podcast here Their fourth album, Great Western Valkyrie came crashing onto the rock scene like a steam locomotive bearing down our backs and thundering in our ears. The loud open drum sound and cranked-up fuzz-driven guitar riffs took us back to a "better time" in music but with both feet firmly planted in the 21st century.
On the Loudini Rock & Rock Roll Circus podcast we will do a deep dive into Rival Sons' Great Western Valkyrie and find out what made it an instant classic. Check out our FAcebook group inner Circle https://www.facebook.com/groups/526751280864401

Get your copy while supplies last! So when St. Anger came out, all I heard from everyone that I knew that had listened to it was that it was garbage. At the time, Metallica wasn't allowing any streaming. It wasn't on the radio and since I wasn't going to buy it I never listened to it.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago. I was thinking about movies that didn't do well when they first came out but went on to become cult classics and some, like John Carpenter's "The Thing" have gone on to be very well respected and highly influential. This made me think that their had to albums that followed a similar track.
For some crazy reason Metallica's St. Anger was the first album to pop into my head. I took the time and finally listened to it and honestly I am confused by all the hate. Apparently however, I am in the minority. All it takes is a quick internet search to learn that St. Anger, even all these years later is STILL very divisive, but is it REALLY THAT BAD?
So... of course the only way to settle this is do to a podcast about it! LOL! On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus we ask the question that's been on your mind for years, Metallica's St. Anger; is it REALLY that bad? Get Loudini Swag HERE: https://loulombardimusic.com/rnrcircus/ Topics covered: https://www.thisdayinmusic.com https://musicfeeds.com.au/features/in-defence-of-metallicas-st-anger/ Some of their heaviest rock since and justice for all a return to longer songs...various tempos and sound not perfect by any stretch of the imagination looser guitar tone than fans are used to elements of doom, grunge, djent Kirk is terribly underused. Understandable why TYPICAL Metallica fans would hate it Very intense use of polyrhythms good harmonies Cliff Burton... will always be there bass player. Jason Newsted was always an outsider. -Bob Rock

Band's like Kingdom Come, Bonham, 80s era White Snake and several others helped to fill that void but never quite fit the bill for true Zeppelin fans. Then in the 1994 Jimmy Page and Robert Plant reunited for a series of shows which would be filmed by MTV and later released as the No Quarter album. This was a milestone in rock music. Fans finally had the spirit of Led Zeppelin back for at least a few years and in 1998 Page and Plant released an album of new material in almost 20 years called Walking into Clarksdale. On this week's Loudini Rock and Roll Circus we will tell you the story behind Page & Plant's Walking Into Clarksdale; the Semi-Zeppelin reunion that took us all back to the glory days for a brief period in the 1990s Get Loudini Swag HERE: https://loulombardimusic.com/rnrcircus/ Topics covered: https://www.thisdayinmusic.com Tracks: Heart in your hand... lonesome guitar Most High... single...most zeppelin Blue Train... tender ballad about robert's deceassed son Please Read the Letter... sounds like a b -side from Led IV... grammy song later with Alisson Krauss Walking into Clarksdale... something for the AAA crowd Golden Horse... Now were getting somewhere... good riff. cool "cinematic" string session ala Kasmir. although a little inconsistent with low key verses When the world was young... slow Burning Up... YES another rocker... still not the Immagrant Song or Whole Lotta Love... but I'll take it even though a bit mid tempo When I was a Child... left over from one of robert's solo albums House of Love... cool distorted drum sound... adventurous production and chord changes... but does it work? Sons of Freedom... interesting production and choices by page... but needs more energy from Plant. most aggressive track... should have opened the album Shinging in The Light... nice song ...maybe a left over from IV or Presence Conclusion... would have been better as a Robert Plant album with Jimmy Page as a guest Steve Albini

I am just gonna go on record and say that most Christmas music by rockers completely sucks... I don't want to hear Stevie Nicks singing "Silent Night" or Chris Cornell crooning "Ave Maria" Rockers, who spend most of their time doing sex and drugs singing about the birth of Christ is beyond bizarre. It's freaking creepy! And that is just one problem with rockers doing Christmas songs HOWEVER, there are a very small minority of Christmas songs by rockers that are sort of ... kinda ...passible. So that's what we're gonna talk about on this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus Podcast. Topics Discussed: https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/ Run Run Rudolph Rock around the Christmas Tree Jingle Bell Rock Santa Claus is Coming to Town Jesus Christ (Big Star) Oh Holy Night (Eric Cartman)/ Christmas time in Hell Feliz Navidad Merry Christmas (I don't want to fight) Fairytale of New York...

Ok... I know that Van Halen replaced David Lee Roth with Sammy Hagar and went on to have HUGE success with him but most bands who have tried replacing iconic musicians have not been nearly as lucky.
While I personally prefer Dave Navarro's playing over John Frusciante's, most Red Hot Chilli Peppers fans did not and there was a great out cry for Fruciante's return.

We have heard about rock and roll groupies. The popular misconception is that they are basically ladies who have sex with rock stars.... period.
But the role of the groupie is much more nuanced than most of us realized.
Check out what Pam De Barres, groupie to Keith Moon and a few others says about her role, "I’m still trying to set that word [groupie] straight because all it means is just a music lover who wants to be near the band. Period. That’s all it means, in whatever capacity. Sexual? Sometimes yes, but also friends, helpers, assistants, guides… we wanted to uplift and enhance these people who moved us so much. That’s all that a groupie is. They are music-loving muses." On this week's (tonight's) Loudini Rock and Roll Circus Podcast we will tell the stories of the greatest groupies in rock and roll and dispel their sordid reputations!

Rock music has long since been characterized by 4/4 time with heavy emphasis on beat numbers 2 and 4. This means that the division of the beats is a repeating sequence of 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4 etc... However, in the true spirit of rock and roll rebellion a lot of bands have defied this "rule" with massively successful songs with odd beat divisions (aka odd meter or odd time signatures) of 5/4 (1 2 3 4 5), 7/4 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7) and even mixed meter time signatures like 1 2 3 4 and 1 2 3 as an example. Have I confused you yet? LOL! Don't worry. Because on this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus podcast we will explain it all as we tell you about 10 bands who released massively successful songs with odd time signatures. Topics Covered: https://www.sos2020pgh.org/ https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/ Take Five (5/4) Say A little Prayer (chorus in 11/4) Whippin Post (11/8) Money (7/8) Solsbury Hill (7/4) All You Need Is Love (7/4) one word said three times over seven beats Hey Ya (mixed meter) Mission Impossible Theme (5/4) Everything in it's right place (10/4) Get Loudini Swag HERE: https://loulombardimusic.com/rnrcircus/

So back in 2007 I saw that there was a new song by Foo Fighters call "The Pretender". Knowing Dave Grohl's love of classic rock, I assumed that it was a remake of the classic Jackson Browne song from 1976. I was excited to hear their take on one of my favorite songs. Imagine my shock and confusion when I finally heard the song and it WAS NOT the Jackson Browne song! I really don't understand why Dave Grohl would do this. Has he ever heard the Jackson Browne song? It's terribly confusing. The Foo Fighter song is a great song in it's own right but I can't help but think that they should have called it something else; not only to avoid confusing old classic rockers like me but out or respect to one rock's greatest songwriters.

After the release of Sheer Heart Attack, Queen was broke. Roger Taylor couldn't even get enough for a small downpayment on a flat for his new family. Realizing that something needed to be done and done quick, the band changed management and got themselves free from bad business dealings.
Their manager John Reid told them to just get in the studio and make the best album that they could and that he would square their financials.
The resulting album was nothing short of monumental. While the songs moved through several genres , they all had that unmistakeable Queen sound.
On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus we will give you the lowdown on making of this classic album as well discuss it's legacy. We will also tell you once and for all how Queen got their unique vocal sound.
We will also be giving away a FREE CD of A Night At The Opera to one lucky member of our LIVE studio audience... so you don't want to miss this show! Topics Covered: https://www.sos2020pgh.org/ https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/ Get Loudini Swag HERE: https://loulombardimusic.com/rnrcircus/

A couple of weeks ago I read an article about Wolf Van Halen taking shots on Twitter for not wanting to play his father's music. These "twitter twits" were trying to guilt Wolf into playing his dad's songs on tour and the man is just not having it. I love Eddie Van Halen. I even did a video arguing why he is the most important (not necessarily the greatest) rock guitarist of all time. I would love to hear Wolf whip out a couple of old Van Halen numbers in concert but that's just not his gig. Wolf produces his own music. He's trying to carve out his own way. He doesn't want to live in his dad's VERY LONG shadow. I think that we can all understand that. Even if he did some kind of tribute to his dad, there would be those who would say that he was just riding on his dad's coat tails. I am sure that many of the kids of classic rock era musicians deal with the same thing sooner or later. On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus podcast we will tell you all about the trials and tribulations of the offspring of classic rockers who try to make their own way in the music business. We also welcome back Hal Aaron Cohen, host of Tales of The Road Warriors Podcast. Hal has a lot of rock and roll knowledge and he's freakin' HILARIOUS! You won't want to miss this episode.

Let's face it... there are just some songs that are better when they're covered by some one else. I don't think that there is much argument, that Hendrix did "All Along the Watchtower" better than Dylan. Well... that's sort of not fair... I mean, everyone does Dylan better than Dylan!

On Friday 7/17/21 a vehicle caught fire at my auto repair shop, Lombardi Auto Body & Repair. No one was hurt. The city of Washington Fire Department got it under control and saved my business.
So far it looks like we only lost two vehicles but there is major damage to our paint building. It's going to take a while to sort everything out with insurance etc... but the good news is because it was contained so quickly, we have total use of the rest of our shop and are able to remain open for business.
So in honor of Prometheus's gift to mankind... we will be talking about the hottest rock and metal songs about FIRE!

Ever wonder who or what started "hair metal"?
Most rock historians trace it to the 1983 breakout release from Quiet Riot, Metal Health.
Between MTV and rock radio, the tracks, "Metal Health" and "Cum on Feel the Noize", were inescapable. By the time I got back to school in the fall of 1983 everyone was all one about this "new band" Quiet Riot as they blasted it from boom boxes all over bus stops, play grounds, a school cafeterias.
So take your spandex out of moth balls because on this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus podcast we will break down the album that started the hair metal craze... Quit Riot's Metal Health.

In 1991 Silence of the Lambs was released to massive critical and commercial acclaim. Like most people, I went to see it and was completely blown away. The film is full of very memorable scenes but one of the ones that immediately stuck in my head was the scene where Catherine Martin (the senator's daughter) is driving just before she is abducted by Buffalo Bill. The lyrics that we hear are: After all it was a great big world / With lots of places to run to / Yeah, and if she had to die tryin’ / She had one little promise she was gonna keep / Oh yeah, all right / Take it easy, baby / Make it last all night / She was an American girl. It's freakin' PERFECT and ever since that I scene, I cannot hear "American Girl" without thinking of Catherine Martin rocking out in her car about to become Buffalo Bill's next victim! On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus podcast we tell you the stories behind 15 songs that helped to create magic movie moments.

In 1975 when KISS released Alive, it was unheard of for a band that didn't have a succession of big hits to release a live album. The sales of Their first 3 studio albums were lukewarm at best and they had virtually no radio support.
The band kept going purely on the strength of their live performances. Live, the blew every other band off the stage and audiences loved them! 🤘
Putting two and two together, the decision was made to try to capture the energy of a live show with a live recording.
This is exactly what Alive did. Within a few months KISS went from working band status to international rock stars.
The rest, as they say, is history... or KISS-tory if you will😉🤘
On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus podcast we will tell you everything you didn't know about Alive, the album that started KISS on the path to rock 'n roll super stardom.

My friend and local caricature artist Vince Ornato was pointing out to me that the most influential bands seem to be British.
Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, The Rolling Stones and even The Beatles... all British. These bands and several others were WIDLY influential and defined the next three decades of music.

If you're like me then you probably have an idea in your head about what your favorite rock songs are about. Right? We all know what "Free Bird" is about. We all know what "Highway To Hell" is about etc...
But there are a lot of rock tunes that are completely misunderstood.
For instance "Good Riddance (time of your life)" by Green Day is actually COMPLETELY misunderstood by most people. Let me explain....
If you have fond memories of belting out "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" at your middle-school graduation or during the last night of overnight camp with your friends, you aren't alone. Many people seemed to misinterpret the lyric "I hope you had the time of your life" as an earnest one, and ignore the first half of the song's title.
Green Day's lead vocalist, Billie Joe Armstrong, told Guitar Legends magazine in 2005 that he wrote the song while he was breaking up with his girlfriend who was moving to Ecuador.
"I was trying to be as understanding about it as I could. I wrote the song as kind of a bon voyage. I was trying not to be bitter, but I think it came out as a little bitter anyway," he said.
So... now ya know!
On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus Podcast LIVE, we will tell you about another 15 or so songs that EVERYONE misinterprets and give you the REAL meanings so you can brag to your friends the next time your listening to the radio.

Good news... 2020 is ALMOST over!
Bad news... we lost some absolutely ICONIC musician's this year; most notably Neil Peart and Eddie Van Halen.
One of the casualties of 2020 was singer, guitarist and founder of the band Mountain... Leslie West.
Back in 2015 I was extremely blessed to be able to interview Leslie for BluesRockReview.com.
He was very kind and generous with his time. He didn't know me from Adam but gave me a great interview just like he was on the Howard Stern show.
He was also HILARIOUS.
We laughed a lot and it was an experience that I will cherish.
️
My interview with him was picked up and referenced by both Rolling Stone and Guitar World magazines... pretty cool eh?
You can read my complete interview here: https://bluesrockreview.com/2015/12/leslie-west-interview.html
On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus Podcast we will celebrate the live's and music of Eddie Van Halen, Neil Peart, Leslie West as well the other icons that we lost this year. It will be a fun but heartfelt look back as some amazing musicians and their legacy.

Remember the golden era of MTV?

On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus podcast we celebrate the album that changed guitar playing forever. We will give you the inside story of Van Halen's self titled debut. You will learn all about this legendary recording that introduced the world to Eddie Van Halen
Topics Discussed: What Happened in 1978 https://www.onthisday.com/events/date/1978 https://www.historycentral.com/20th/1978.html
This day in Music: https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/
-
The group recorded the album in just three weeks and most of it was done live with very few overdubs.
-
The cover photos were taken at LA’s Whisky a Go Go
- David Lee Roth has said Van Halen is his favourite of the band’s records.
- “Runnin’ with the Devil” has been misinterpreted as satanic. While the band has never said what it really is about, it’s believed to be about what it’s like being a young touring band.
- “Runnin’ with the Devil” starts with a bunch of car horns. Those horns actually came from the band members’ own cars. They removed the horns and put them in a box, powering them with two car batteries and a foot switch. They were then slowed down in production. Including car horns on a track had been Gene Simmons’ idea. The Kiss bassist produced a demo for Van Halen in 1977.
- The lyrics to “Runnin’ with the Devil” were inspired by funk band Ohio Players’ song of the same name.
- The instrumental “Eruption” had been part of Van Halen’s show since at least 1976.
- “Eruption” introduced Eddie Van Halen’s two-hand tapping technique to the rock world.
- “Eruption” almost didn’t make it onto the album. Eddie didn’t think it was right for the band but producer Ted Templeman overheard it while the guitarist was rehearsing for a live show. The engineer just happened to be recording so Templeman had it go on the record.
- While recording “Eruption,” Eddie made a mistake and to this day, whenever he hears it he thinks he could’ve played it better.
- The band released their cover of The Kinks’ “You Really Got Me” because of an encounter Eddie had with a group called Angel. Eddie showed Angel’s drummer a demo of their version of the song and the next day he learned Angel were recording their own cover of it to release before Van Halen’s. VH rushed to get theirs out first.

In 1982 Iron Maiden unleashed "Number of the Beast" on the world. It was their third studio album and the first to feature the now iconic vocals of former Samson singer, Bruce Dickinson. On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus we pay homage to the album that rained thunder now upon the music world and change heavy metal forever. Also this week, Keith, Lily and Lou welcome guest podcaster Emmy Susani host of the "Chats with the Freak" podcast. Featured Loudini Artists: LoveBone (from the compilation, Skater Rock 1/2/3) Madzilla LV Neverwake Lou Lombardi's Strangelove
Get ready to rock out with your talk out NOW!
Topics Discussed: Album Bio Little Known Facts: 1. Due to Bruce Dickinson's contractual obligations to his previous band, Samson, he could not legally take part in the songwriting of the album. Instead, he made what he called "moral contributions" to the writing process. 2. The recording and mixing of Number Of The Beast took place in only 5 weeks. They had spent too much of their time writing new material for the album. 3. There are rumors that the recording process was cursed due to the occult nature of the album - equipment broke and lights turned on and off in the studio. 4. Producer Martin Birch was in a car accident with a mini-bus during the recording. The passengers in the mini-bus were a group of nuns and to make things even creepier, the bill for the repairs was £666. 5. "Total Eclipse" was the B-side to "Run To The Hills." The band still regrets that decision to this day and wish they had used "Gangland" instead. 6. The title "Number Of The Beast" was inspired by a nightmare bassist Steve Harris had after watching the horror film Omen III: The Final Conflict. 7. The album was heavily opposed by the right wing and social conservatives upon release. People organized events where they would burn the album and smash it with hammers. 8. The tour behind the album was also met with protests. Leaflets were handed to people outside the venues and someone even brought a 25-foot cross to one show. 9. The album's artwork was originally designed for the song "Purgatory" but was saved for a bigger release. 10. Number Of The Beast was reissued in 1995 but incorrectly gave a songwriting credit to original vocalist Paul

She is a natural-born storyteller, so she started writing country songs and had her own band. Recently, however, Jenny teamed up with Southern California punk icon Jose Cruz of Male Order Brides and Doom Kounty Electric Chair fame. Dead Queen is an EP of Cruz’ songs, produced by Cruz along with Jenny’s husband, Chas Ferry, who has worked with David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Quincy Jones.

John Vento is often called a chameleon in the Pittsburgh music scene; and, while his critics may use the term as a pejorative, Vento views it as a compliment. He understands that they’re motivated by the frustration of their inability to lock him into a specific musical style. After all, the front man for the high-energy, hard-rockin’ bands, The Businessmen, and the Nied’s Hotel Band, is also known for his introspective, brooding solo recordings.
Rather than a drawback, however, Vento considers such diversity to be among his strengths; and his fans agree. They relish sharing his tumultuous trek toward achieving his artistic vision, which he accomplishes by channeling a blend of eclectic influences through his own, raw emotions.
Helping to engineer the roller coaster ride is a stout core of colaborators, including John Randall Fox, Buddy Hall, Tim Hadley, and Frank Ferraro, along with renowned playwright/lyricist, Amy Hartman. Many members of this crew have been with him for more than a decade; and it’s easy to understand why, as Vento consistently showers them with appreciation and accolades. Though a one-of-a-kind performer, he professes a great distaste for the word, “solo,” insisting that, “Without my collaborators, I would not have accomplished anything.”
That’s no surprise to those who know him, as he truly is a humble, loving, and grateful person, who treasures his family and friends. Certainly, that comes across, loud and clear, in his honest, from-the-heart songs; and that, undoubtedly, is another quality which endears him to his fans. As he puts it, “If just one person is touched in some small way by one of my songs, that’s the greatest reward that I could receive.”
Of course, it’s purely logical that Vento would find a great following in this town. His steely resistance to categorization is the very essence and backbone of Pittsburgh. Built by a veritable melting pot of blue-collar workers, the once-gritty city has risen from the slag heap, through the smoke and haze, to become a sparkling, spectacular hub of culture and learning. Yet, it remains true to its deeply-forged identity.
John’s 2019 MTS release is “Love, Lust and Other Wreckage.” His single, “Rainbows And Lightning” reached the Top 20 on iTunes Canada charts, rec

With guitar in hand and loop pedal under foot, New York-based singer-songwriter Tim Stout is a sight to be both seen and heard. His dynamic tunes burst with color to match his equally vivacious personality. Driven by impassioned vocals and nuanced guitar compositions, his scintillating and introspective lyrics illuminate the importance of building lasting relationships, fostering healthy communication, and finding beauty in the mundane. Inspired by great pop icons such as Prince, Ed Sheeran, and John Mayer, Stout melds modern pop sensibilities with a colorful vintage vibe to craft a sound that's sure to keep you grooving. After just a few short months performing around the New York City area, Stout opened for Allen Stone along with Caleb Hawley in a sold-out show at Brooklyn Bowl in November 2017, with plenty of gigs and festivals played since. His first single, "Get Familiar", is out now.

Expanding on their love of American R&B, The Resolectrics are a rock & soul power trio exploring the vast landscapes of roots music with layered harmonies, multi-tonal guitar tracks, and ambitious arrangements. Since releasing their “Booker T. meets The Band” debut record, High Water, guitarist Tate Peterson, drummer John Becher, and bassist Bob Dunham have honed a leaner, meaner
approach through continuous gigging and constant refinement. The band’s new record, Open Seas (released Sep 21, 2018), adds some timeless, British Invasion- style psychedelia to the mix along with a touch of horns and harmonica that help reconnect the music to its soul-based heritage. It’s a bigger sound that’s radio- ready and set for bigger stages and a larger audience.

Venice Beach native and rising newcomer Cozmic has been making waves in the urban electro-pop scene over the past few months with recent singles going viral on social media, critical acclaim in the indie music blogs and a recent deal with Kobalt Music’s AWAL.
Cozmic is on a quest to mine a new strain of pop music. A broadly resonant aesthetic brimming with soulfulness and bold artistry, his music reflects an intersection of a profound inner journey and an eclectic musical trajectory.
Prior to Cozmic, the artist was already an accomplished singer, songwriter, and guitarist, recording and touring with indie pop, EDM, and hip-hop projects. His performance highlights in this realm include appearances at Bonnaroo and The World Culture Festival in India in front of 3 million people. During this chapter of his career, he also collaborated with acclaimed creators such as Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park as well as producers Mike Gonsolin (French Montana, G-Eazy, Snoop Dog), Rami Beatz (Kid Cudi, Chris Brown), and Tim O'Heir (The Flaming Lips, Morphine, Dinosaur Jr., All-American Rejects).

Brady Novotny started playing the guitar at the age of 10. Determined to be a world class guitarist, he left his first guitar lesson with his instructor telling him basically to give it up now. Thus he was introduced to criticism and disappointment early in his endeavor. Nevertheless, Brady heard a guitar player that would motivate him to push all that aside and re-energrize his passion to continue; that guitar player was Randy Rhoads. Brady soon fell in love with classical and melodic guitar playing. Brady practiced restlessly learning everything from classical pieces, melodic and virtuosic solos from 80's guitar heroes, to jazz fusion.

My latest work came together in the form of an EP. I’ve written a lot of material over the last couple years and rather than creating a double album, I’ve chosen to release a series of EPs for this project. We recorded the first EP, Faded Photographs, at my studio in Marin County and explored my current cultivation of songs with a new philosophy and an unfamiliar methodology. I brought most of the songs in fresh so everyone worked on them with a first instinct kind of prospective. For me, Faded Photographsreveals a metamorphosis in my writing. An evolution of looking back on the last 10 years of my life, letting go, and moving on. Like many of my lyrics, the album reflects on harder times with hope for greater days ahead.
“Come Down”, the single off the record expresses that exact sentiment. It’s an introspective song looking back on days when my addictions were out of control and holding on to how I currently feel today in more healthy lifestyle. Participating in the light as opposed to checking out into darkness. We had a ball making this album with an amazing collection of hearts that resulted in a record I am very proud of. My line up has changed over the years but our mission remains the same. To spread love through the art of music and hopefully give people the emotional responses we all share and find in the music we love the most.

Tortured cries from the supernatural haunt the punishing mystical metal of Ukraine’s Vovkulaka. The band’s singer-drummer-songwriter VolK is a dark conduit for paranormal activity and channels his explorations in this realm into his band’s tribal and occultist thrashings. The results are brutal and anthemic—white knuckle-rides that add new flesh to the bones of Korn, Pantera, Rob Zombie, and even Babymetal. Live, the band is something like a sexy séance, with a trio of musicians being joined onstage by a pair of stunning female dancers moving ceremoniously to the cathartic musical onslaught. Vovkulaka’s longtime producer is modern heavy music legend Darian Rundall (Pennywise, Suicidal Tendencies, Yellowcard).Internationally, the group is spreading its infectious call to arms #painneversoundedsogood with one-off shows, and making festival appearances back home in Ukraine, in Europe, and, in the near future, in the U.S. Links:

Drawing from Austin Wasielewski's (guitars, vocals) familiarity of psychedelic/acid rock, rap, R&B, folk/Americana, the sound is brought together by Tred Litely (drums, vocals) pop-punk, funk, indie-rock, math rock and fusion pulls, while Ryan D. Lee (bass) is a master of all things 80s, 90s and present. Together their lyrics seek to address the turmoil we experience every day by virtue of living in a modern world, but specifically a modern world so torn up by connecting troves of people who still feel disconnected.

Taken from their upcoming record, the band will have you head over heels after first listen. Until very recently, the different members of this ensemble cast were working separately, settling with projects only half-fulfilling the addiction that they all shared. It was only when their lives started overlapping did they realize they would eventually come together to handcraft a sonic, melodic miasma of songs spanning over two full length albums. At the heart of Frantic Romantic is a love for a 90’s culture that's been swept away with yesteryear. It's that unknown band you hear in a rundown back alley venue. It's that album you pick up at the record store and spin on the car ride home—uninterrupted. That’s the culture Frantic Romantic longs for and the community they breathe life back into.

The band is currently sharing their enticing new lyric video for "The Misprint," which has us head over heels immediately. Taken from their upcoming record "Pageant Wave," out later this year, this is the first glimpse we have into the world of Horsehead for 2018.
Horsehead's Jon Brown of the group says of the track:
“My brother and I used to take trips together; drinking vacations if you will. One of those trips was the inspiration for the song. It’s not autobiographical per se (it’s quite embellished) but we all are searching for something and screwing up along the way.”
A little reminiscent of artists such as Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young and Jason Isbell, the group bring a unique and eclectic sound to the table that is very much their own. "The Misprint," dives in deep to the sound of the band with powerful instrumentation and honest lyricism that drives the track home.
A little bit Country, a little bit Rock n' Roll, the group takes the reigns and heads into glory on the new track....our ears are eager for the upcoming record in tow.
OVER A DECADE OF SPLITTING ATOMS, HORSEHEAD NOW SETS THEIR SITES ON ASSEMBLING THEM ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS TIME, THE LOW-END LAB COATS FILLED BY STEVE CHILES (TEST TUBES) AND RICKY TUBB (BEAKER FILLING), BUNSEN BURNER DUTIES FULFILLED BY KEVIN WADE INGE ALL WHILE JON BROWN SCRAWLS THE FORMULAS.

My name is Bruce Grimm. People call me Grubb from an old high school nickname.
I'd like to mention my first band Arch Rival (Eastern Version) and that three songs on this CD are from them. 13,Daddy and Mr.Magic
The newest line up of MOS had some serious health and family problems and couldn't continue. DRUMMER almost died twice. Heart problems
I would rather not mention studio where music was recorded. It was only about the money to them and had no concern about what I actually wanted.
Studio where I recorded vocals was awesome really helpful and toward what I wanted.

Gestures & Sounds is a one-stop shop for a great time. Their authentic compositions are raw and evoke real feelings, mostly because they don’t know how to be any other way. Live performances are a rollercoaster of up and higher. After high school, best friends Erik, Brian and Jory left Wisconsin to pursue film careers. Their cramped Los Angeles apartment spawned late-night muted jam sessions that put them on a new course. With their sights set on starting a band, they quickly scooped up Jeremy as their fourth best friend and drummer. And so they began their love lives as Gestures & Sounds.
Warmth in sound and lyrics is a given with these guys. From cozy and swooning to top-of-the-lungs raging. In tune with each other, the crowd, and anyone wearing flannel at any given moment in the world, G&S are equal parts melodically innovative and lyrically wrenching.

Born in Phoenix, AZ, a gemini, Cooper’s first love was lawn sprinklers. At the age of 6 he assembled his first above ground sprinkler system with pvc pipe, strong smelling waterproof glue, Toro© brand sprinklers and possibly a little help from his father. Changing light bulbs was also an early hobby. He was punished more than once for flicking bulbs within his reach, trying to burn them out. Happily by adolescence music had mostly replaced this destructive habit. Jeremiah Green’s drumming on early Modest Mouse records inspired him to get behind a kit. Being too scared to stand up on stage and read his poetry by itself inspired him to start songwriting. He played in Tucson, AZ based post punk band Overcast Off from 2009 -2012 while attending the University of Arizona. Then, to avoid a dead end job, he moved across the country to Somerville, MA where he learned how to make lattes and have 30 second conversations with no awkward pauses. Hosting a weekly music night at his cafe for 5 years made him a familiar face in the local music community.

Robert Berry has managed to survive in the treacherous minefield that is the music business and flourished as a performer, songwriter and producer. It seems he's done it all. While he may be best known as the vocalist/bass player in the ELP spinoff, 3, with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer, Berry impressive list of credits include a stint fronting Ambrosia, and long running affiliations with Alliance, December People, and the Greg Kihn Band.
Berry has released 5 solo albums, contributed to a number of high-profile tribute albums and has an impressive track record in the studio.
He grew up in a musical family in what would become Northern California’s Silicon Valley. It didn’t take long before he appropriated a Vox Continental organ from his father’s music store. By the time he was a freshman in high school, his group had released a single that went on to become a regional favorite. Although he denies it, according to his school mates, Berry was known as his school’s first full-fledged rock star. His bands became solid fixtures on the Bay Area college and club circuit, where they worked constantly. It was during this period that his interest in multi-track recording blossomed. Legend has it, Berry somehow finagled the very first Teac four-track recorder to arrive in the valley. It wasn’t long before he had written and recorded an experimental twenty-two song ‘rock opera’. As his quest for knowledge grew he managed to snag a part-time position as ‘assistant everything’ person at a busy San Jose recording studio. By the time he was a senior in high school he had acquired a reputation as a solid performer and in-demand studio musician.

“The Hate Club is a place for outcasts to call home, for people to punch in the face the messed up world we live in.” This is how The Hate Club’s (THC) leader and sole member, Alex Poe, describes the mission for his music and his ‘band' overall. Poe has set out to achieve this goal through an amalgamation of the driving bass heavy practices of EDM and the spite and swagger of punk rock, clearly heard through his vocal quality and lyricism.
Growing up in an oppressive Ukrainian household, Poe eventually fled to Los Angeles where he became enamored with the electronic music scene. In 2017 THC released its debut EP, Space Born, made major waves in the underground electronic music scene, becoming a cult favorite in the US primary musical hot spots, New York and LA. Now, with the release of their second EP, Misfits, THC furthers the dark yet charming narrative created by Space Born.
Check out Misfits Here
The music in Misfits explodes with a type of impulsive emotionality created by a thick, and often chaotic, bed of sound, perfectly supporting Poe’s entrancing vocals. Poe explains “This EP glorifies inappropriate behavior; it looks at your past with disgust and focuses on your ego.” Of the 5 songs on the Misfits EP some standout tracks include “Under My Feet,” “One Mile Away,” and “Little By Little.” Opening the EP and setting the tone powerfully with the industrial pop sound in “Under My Feet.”
While favorably compared to some Punk and EDM greats like Skrillix, Cage the Elephant, Missio, or The White Stripes, THC is truly in a class all its own. Keeping in the spirit of Punk rock, Poe is a dedicated DIY artist who not only writes all of his music but also tracks all parts, as well as mixing and mastering his songs by himself to prepare for performance with the help of his Ableton Push. This approach has allowed him to achieve the level of excitement, and overall sound, in performance comparable to a full-band. Poe states, “I want to reinvent the way artists perform now. I think there’s so much room to explore in the electronic world, in terms of performance.”

When singer-songwriter Sarah Sharp’s life began to unhinge after the passing of a beloved artistic ally, instead of resisting profound foundational shifts, she bravely surrendered to the monumental changes and experienced a spiritual awakening. To commemorate this new era of fertile self-growth and vibrant creativity, she’s releasing a series of four EPs with each release to be issued in three-month increments. Aptly, she calls the opening salvo in this program, Wake. Up until now, the award-winning songwriter and jazz singer has been best known for embodying 30s and 40s jazz-cool with the acclaimed combo the Jitterbug Vipers. These solo EPs, however, will piece together to present the full breadth of Sarah’s artistry. “With every step of this transition, I’ve been reminded to keep going and listen to my heart and my instincts, and to not make decisions out of fear,” the Austin, Texas-based artist reveals. As a solo artist, and a former member of the Jitterbug Vipers, Sarah has topped the Austin music award polls as Best Female Vocalist, Best Producer, Best Songwriter, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Band of the Year, and Best Jazz Band. She has been featured on NPR’s “Song Travels with Michael Feinstein” where Feinstein suggested some of her original songs were destined to become standards. Recently, Paste Magazine premiered the mesmerizing single “You Don’t Dare” from the Wake EP. Previously, Sarah explored the expanse of her talents writing somewhat anonymously in a variety of contexts and styles. Sarah’s songs have been featured worldwide in ad campaigns for Chanel, Dell, Kia, ABC’s Revenge, E.L.F. cosmetics, among others, and on TV, including hit shows The Good Wife, Cable Girls, Grandfathered and more. After the passing of the Jitterbug Viper’s sage leader, guitarist Slim Richey, Sarah boldly didn’t try to recapture the smoky magic of the group. Instead, she dove into creating her first solo offering in a decade. Opening herself up artistically, she began to explore writing across genres in a solo context, and things began to almost poetically fall in place. Not only did she have an outlet for her eclectic palette, it was as if the universe was screaming for her to share it. She won a posh songwriting grant after a grueling 10-mont

While Ozzy may be scaling back a bit as evidenced by the title of his latest tour, (The No More Tours Tour) he has no plans to quit. He says that this is his passion but he also wants to spend more time with his grand children.
He also talked a bit about not being too happy with his time with Black Sabbath. This doesn't really come as much of a surprise. After all, they did fire him all those years ago, but more than that Ozzy is just used to being the boss and having his own way and there's nothing wrong with that one bit! We here at The Loudini Rock and Roll Circus hope that he keeps touring and putting out great Ozzy music for a long time.

Many times the key to a great guitar riff is doing something as simple as retuning the guitar. Alternate tunings are used by many classic guitarists from Robert Johnson to The Edge. If you have ever listened to Zeppelin's "Going to California", Pearl Jam's "Daughter", George Thorogoode's "Bad To The Bone" or the Stones' "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and wondered...

"Icky Thump" was the White Stripes highest charting UK single and chartted well around the rest of the planet as well. It also won the band a Grammy Award in 2008 for best rock performance by a duo or group.
The name of the song is a play on the British expression, "Ecky Thump" which loosely means, "What the heck!" Jack White changed it from "ecky" to "icky" thinking that the former would just confuse American teenage audiences. While the lyrics are a criticism of the treatment of immigrants in the U.S., the origin of the title is much more interesting.
The title was inspired by an episode of a British sketch comedy show called "The Goodies". The episode in question "Kung fu Kapers" also known as "Ecky-Thump" caused one fan to laugh for 25 minutes non-stop, resulting in a massive heart attack and death.
The song, (not the sketch) is one of the greatest riff's of the early 2000s and that's why it's this week's Wicked Riff!

The Black Crowes seem to be on an idefinite hiatus. In the mean time we will just have to content ourselves with The Magpie Salute, a hard rocking blues based outfit that features Black Crowes alumni Rich Robinson, Mark Ford and bassist Sven Pipien, as well as keyboardist Matt Slocum, drummer Joe Magistro, and vocalists Adrien Reju and Katrine Ottosen from Robinson's solo band. John Hogg handles lead vocal duties with passion and soul.
Formed in 2016, their first album (released a year later) was a live recording which featured a mix of Rich Robinson and Mark Ford songs from their solo work with one offical Magpie track, "Omission".
On August 10th of this year, they released their first studio album, "High Water I". The record shows that Robinson, Ford and company can still rock with the best of them. If you're a Black Crowes fan, you will want to give this record a try.

Zakk Wylde is a legendary hard rock and metal guitarist. From his work with Ozzy and Black Label Society to his current band, "Zakk Sabbath" he's worshiped as a metal god by many.
But did you know that Zakk is also hugely influenced by the blues. He sites Hendrix as one of his earliest influences and you can hear it in his playing. Lurking just below the high gain and high speed licks. there is a deeply soulful, blues loving guitar player behind it all.
Here's how much the blues have influenced Zakk; in 1995 he was invited to audition for one of the hardes rocking blues based bands of all time... Guns 'n Roses. Axel and company knew that Zakk had the soul of a blues man back then!
Listen closely to tracks like, "No More Tears", "Fire it Up" and "Losin' Your Mind" and you will hear some of the HEAVIEST blues playing ...EVER!

Album covers are as iconic as the great artists who's music they represent. In the history of rock the visual aspect has always been very important and depending on the era and genre, the visual has been even more important than the music. But that's a subject for another podcast.
A great album cover will make you feel like you are taking home your very own piece of art. In the case of cover art from 70's era Molly Hatchet, and Yes, the artwork could completely stand alone. Some covers are very simple like The Beatles "White Album" and Metallica's "Black Album". They leave a lot to the imagination and get out of the way and let the music speak. There are sexy album covers, political album covers, funny album covers and even interactive album covers. Sticky Fingers, is an interactive album cover, with a working zipper!
Some covers are so iconic that even when people don't know the artist or the music they know the cover. The Clash's London Calling and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon are examples of cover art that even kids recognize whether or not they know the music.
This week on the Loudini Hard Rock and Metal Circus, Lou and Keith discuss the greatest album covers of all time and do their best to pick the top ten.

Songs like You Shook Me All Night Long, Girl's Got Rhythm, T-N-T and Back in Black, make the young and the old alike want to get up and rock out. Their music is heavy enough to be confused with heavy metal but fun enough that wedding bands cover it.
While the guitars, bass, drums and vocals (and some lyrics too) are definitely heavy enough to be metal, AC/DC's swaggering rhythm's, bluesy guitar playing and penchant for "American thighs" puts them firmly in the hard rock realm. Sorry metal heads. I know that you love AC/DC too. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
In many ways AC/DC like their predecessors Black Sabbath, are a bit of a conundrum in the heavy rock world. They are embraced by music fans with allegiances too various styles, including punk and classic rock but claim no official affiliation. They simply play the music that comes naturally to them.
In 1981 they changed the rock world when they released Back in Black. It became an almost instant classic. Every track is great, and you can still hear most of them today on any classic rock station.
The title track is an homage to their fallen front man Bon Scott and is as powerful today as it was almost when it was released nearly 40 years ago!

In this week's episode of Bluesy Tuesday we discuss and disect Led Zeppelin's Black Dog.
The main riff was composed by Led Zeppelin Bassist John Paul Jones and is organized around a call and response pattern. The song begins with Robert Plant singing accapella followed by the band "answering" him with Jones' riff. The song got it's name from a black labradore retreiver that the band found wandering around their Headley Grange studio.
The main riff is derived directly out of the blues scale and is often mistakenly thought to be "polyrhythmic". The confusion comes in because the way that Jones phrases the riff. Instead of hard resolutions on the predicatable downbeat, Jones creates a looping feel with the phrases that circle back on themselves in less predictable places giving Black Dog it's signature feel.
Surprisingly, Black Dog wasn't always a staple of Zepplen's live show. They played it off and on through out the 1970's. By contrast, it's become a signature song of Robert Plant's solo bands and he has performed many wildly different versions of the classic over the years, including a blue grass flavored version with country singer Alison Krauss.

Unicorn formally of Debutante and and Skull Death Gut Corpse on Lead vocals and some programming. Jeff (the Snowman) Unicorn on Bass guitar. Nick J Unicorn formally of Pretty and the River Rats on guitar and additional programming.
God Hates Unicorns formed in 2015..or maybe 2014. I don't remember.I got an invite from Josh to go see their show. I knew of Josh from his earlier bands Skull Death Gut Corpse and Debutante. Josh and I traded shows with each other during the Pittsburgh music scene golden age (the early 2000's when everyone was on Myspace.com the greatest tool for musicians to ever have existed). I remember seeing their very first "performance" at the Squirrel Hill Sports bar. It was a bit cold that night maybe early Spring or late Fall. The band was a classic 3 piece. By classic 3 piece band I mean a singer, a bass player, and some one on stage only to press play on a drum machine. The tracks were created on Josh's familiar Roland 505 (the same one he used to make tracks for Debutante). The tracks sounded pretty good from where I was sitting. If you like depressing dark wave dance tracks then what's not to love here? The songs had enough thumping kick drums and melodic keyboard sounds to pass most peoples standards for a song on there own. Unfortunately, something about the sound that night was off to the band as Joshua operating as the lead singer wondered on and off the stage seeming to try to find an area of the room where he could hear the track properly. Leaving the rest of the band that remained on stage looking confused and frightened as Josh careened through the crowd and then back to the stage again screaming into a bullhorn; finally he stopped on the stage for the last time and laid down in defeat. The bands first outing did not appear to be going well. They played about 3 songs from what I recall and none of them correctly based on the displeased expressions from the band members.
After the show I jokingly asked Josh if he still wanted me to join the band (he asked a few months earlier) and he said yes. He said they could use a guitar player. I told him I didn't currently own an electric guitar only an acoustic-electric. Then he said I could use the electric guitar that a previous musician left in his bas

This week 70's icon Peter Frampton Tweeted that he had over 55 million downloads of his song "Baby I Love Your Way" for which he only received $1700. The tweet was part of a series of tweet where he told about testifiying to congress on the behalf of ASCAP. You can read it for yourself here:https://twitter.com/peterframpton/status/1025584924609400832 .
These older artists cannot seem to come to terms with the fact that the world has moved on. We no longer have the same music industry that we did in the 70's, 80's and 90's where a handful of acts dominated the industry because radio and MTV were really the only places to get heard by a significant number of people. The industry today is much more friendly to the indie artist. For a fraction of the money that it would take to produce and promote a band in the 80's, indie acts can produce totally professional sounding recordings and promote themselves by themselves or with the help of some very affordable outsource partners.
The industry is also much more friendly to the music fan. Heard about a great band from a friend or magzine? Just do a YouTube search and you can check them out immediately. Instead of buying albums of filler to get one or two good songs you can buy the good tracks on iTunes or listen on Spotify. For true music fans, this is nothing short of a miracle.
So... recorded music, for the most part is now free. That's the price of all of the democatization and simplication of producing and listening to music. That sucks for artists like Peter Frampton who enjoyed big royalty checks but it does not mean that people do not value music, nor does it mean that there isn't a lot of money to be made in the new music industry. There have been some great books and articles written on this subject. For a primer I would recommend "Free" by Chris Anderson. you can check that out here: https://www.amazon.com/Free-Future-Radical-Chris-Anderson/dp/1401322905

Paulo Franco is a Richmond, Virginia based singer/ songwriter. In terms of recording, it may seem that Franco has come to the game later in life than some, but his musical journey has been a lifelong story. Born to Colombian immigrants and raised in Washington D.C., Paulo embraces his heritage as a first generation American and his songs and style reflect that. As a child, his father turned him on to the country music of the United States via the Johnny Cash Variety show and on his own he discovered a love for rock n roll through the Stones and the Beatles. At the age of nine, he picked up a classical guitar and a musician was born. After years of playing in various cover bands and honing his chops, Franco began writing his own material in earnest in 2010.

In 1991 Soundgarden released their 3rd studio album, Badmotorfinger. As the saying goes, "third time's a charm!" BMF continued the band's hard rock/metal rooted sound but with more mature songwriting. The songs "Outshined" and "Rusty Cage" were MTV hits and pushed Soundgarden into the mainstream.
With it's groove doom tuned down riff, locked in rhythm section, humungous guitars, imagination bending lyrics and legendary vocal performance, "Outshined" is one of grunge's most important moments and to put it bluntly, grunge's greatest riff... period.

In the history of blues based hard rock there is a tradition of bands playing great heavy rhythm riffs with catchy singable chorues. Bands like AC/DC and KISS come to mind but there are many others including this week's Bluesy Tuesday featured band; KIX.
Originally calling themselves Shooze and eventually changing their name to the Generators and ultimately, the hard rocking boys from Balitmore, KIX, garnered quite a reputation for themselves as one of Maryland's most exciting live bands, covering influences in the blues based hard rock format.
This year marks the thirtith aniversary of their smash album, Blow My Fuse and the band is celebrating by releasing a two disc special edition of their late eighties classic featuring a remixed and remaseterd version of the album by Beau Hill as well as an entire disc of demos that will give a fans a peek under the hood at how the songs evolved.

YouTube is the number one source for people to find music. If you want someone to hear your music, you have a better chance of catching their ear on YouTube than you do on Spotify, Soundcloud, Pandora, or Bandcamp. Those are just the facts, as of the writing of this blog post.
Since we have established this as a fact, why in the hell would an artist block a video who's sole intention was to promote their music? That sounds like madness... right? Let me tell you kids, it happens ALL THE TIME!
When we speak of the beginnings of heavy metal, we may mention acts like Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience or Blue Cheer and while all of these bands played heavy music for their time, there is one track by one band that predates them all.
Getting older... it happens to ALL of us. Someday we will be talking about how old Greta Van Fleet looks. Trust me... we will. This begs the question, is rock and roll an inveritable fountain of youth or do rockers have an expiration date?
It may seem like a miracle, but you know that guy from Guns 'N Roses... Yeah.. .the one with the top hat and Les Paul slung down to his ankles? Well that sneaky so and so, found time to get together with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators and record and another record. And let me you kids, if the first single is any indication, this it going to be one bad ass record. It's called Living the Dream and we are going to give you a taste on this week's Bluesy Tuesday Episode 4.
What does it mean when some one says that this person or that person is a good or even great guitar player? On what merits should we judge or is it completely subjective?
On this week's episode we discuss Neil Young. While mostly thought of as a singer songwriter, Neil has a very unique approach to playing lead guitar. His style is self decribed as "less is most". The solo to Cinnamon Girl is the same note repeated on two different strings. Yet I find his guitar work very moving.
Some of his best guitaring is live. Do a YouTube search of his live electic work and you will find a guitarist who plays with blind feel. He just goes for it. While he hits his share of clunkers for sure, there is a danger and a beauty at times in his playing that simply just tugs at your heart strings.
Today I want to celebrate the heavier side of Neil Young with the classic riff "Hey Hey My My (Into The Black). Whether you're a Neil Young fan or not, you have to admit that this is one of the HEAVIEST riffs in rock's pantheon. So grab a cold beverage and crank this one up because Rust Never Sleeps!

Dan Too is a country-rock, alt. country outfit from Santa Cruz, CA with a thinly veiled tendency towards yacht-rock. The band contains members from American Starlet, Painted Horses, Dan Juan, Grand Larson, Slow Ocean, T Sisters, Birdhouse, and Dos Osos.
Dan Too is about to become your new favorite band. Debuting with us today their latest single "Waiting around for life," we found ourselves instantly intrigued by the band.
From start to finish the track entices with strong hooks, prominent instrumentation and thoughtful lyricism. Hailing from Santa Cruz the band paves the way for new Alt-Country bands alike. It's evident that the band whispers hints of artists such as Wilco and Whiskeytown, but the music they create is on their own terms.
Every once in a while a band comes along the stirs the pot, generating a large fanbase as well as detractors. Greta Van Fleet with their Led Zeppelin flavored debut has done both.
Their fans love them and show up to their shows in droves, evidenced by the sold out shows that they are playing around the US, but they do have their share of haters.

Alex Vans had a really, really terrible idea for a business. He got a bunch of dudes, gave them instruments, and made them play stoner rock guitar riffs under smooth vocal pop hooks.

If the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then you can count Alex Vans as among the truly mad. A mad-genius perhaps? No. But the new EP does kick ass.

Music is at its best when it's born out of passion, meaning, and purpose. Unfortunately, for today's listeners, many artists simply fall back on exhausted formulas, as they quickly sacrifice passion for sales. However, rather than falling back with its peers, Circle of One aims to step up. "Too many musicians are just making noise. Nobody's saying anything of value," says frontman Mark Cunzolo. "You're attracted to someone. Great. You like to party. Great. But what's the point in telling people about that? Let's use music to unpack some deeper issues." Circle of One tackles this challenge by lacing its hard-rock, metal, hip-hop, and electronically infused music with tales of internal fear, substance abuse struggles, self-control issues, and more. Most importantly, Circle of One passionately displays the power and the hope needed to find freedom from these issues. Their music has a message. Their music has a purpose. It's time to spread it like wildfire.

It takes a lot of life experience to craft engaging, universal song lyrics and singer, songwriter and musician Mary Jennings has had more than a lion share. Hows this for a start: career stops as a teacher, aerobics instructor, clothing retailer, bartender, luggage saleswoman and paranormal researcher. Add to that the early loss of her mom , and there are plenty stories to share. Jennings states that music has kept her sane. Not surprisingly, her songs often possess a modicum of sadness and darkness, about which she says, I share these emotions with others because I know so many have felt the same things. If I can create melodies and deliver words that express their feelings, Ive done my job
I am a musical artist. I write, sing, play piano, have started to learn to play the flute and I dance. The bulk of this Website is dedicated to my Christian/Inspirational works but there are also links to my secular works as well. I am an enigma as I cannot really classify myself in any one genre of music. I have performed jazz, R and B, pop, light rock, blues and a bit of country. I have even done theater and show tune work. I have performed with a variety of talented musicians in duos, trios, rock bands, jazz bands and even swing orchestra. I think my favorite thing, though, is getting to perform things I write. They all come from the heart and they help to paint a picture of my life. They reflect my hopes, thoughts and belief system. And they are all inspired by God. I hope you will enjoy the music, videos, photos and my blog that will be updated regularly to let everyone know what's happening. Please feel free to drop me a note, leave a comment or just say hi. I dedicate this site and my music to my Mom and Dad who I miss everyday. Yet, I know they are sitting next to our Lord and watching over me, smiling down at their very headstrong but tenacious daughter !! I love you both. Many blessings. Bonnie .

Together with Tex Taylor he started CHESTNUT band in 2010 and later that year they released their first single 110% Country followed by the EP American Dream. CHESTNUT band played at most of the country festivals all around Sweden and even in Denmark and in both 2012 and 2013 they were nominated in Swedish Country Music Championships.

Mitch Woods and His Rocket 88s have been the torchbearers of a great American blues musical heritage, not for three years but three decades. Taking their inspiration from the great jump n boogie outfits of the late 40s and early 50s, they breathe fresh life into the music that gave birth to rock n roll. Woods styled his group after the jumpin n jivin, shoutin n honkin, pumpin n poundin bands of Louis Jordan, Wynonie Harris, Joe and Jimmy Liggins, Amos Milburn, and Roy Milton. Adding a healthy dose of New Orleans rhythm and blues, piledrivin piano, and some of his own contemporary playful lyrics, Woods and His Rocket 88s forge their own brand of music they call rock-a-boogie.

Blues Music Magazine's editor recently declared that, Gomes' formidable guitar chops and authentic singing place him in the forefront of modern blues This, along with his high-energy shows and dynamic stage presence, make him one of the top draws on the Rock/Blues circuit today.
