One of our all time favorite, favorite bands, Delta Rose has announced an indefinite hiatus. They announced the hiatus on their Facebook page with the following post: It has been a great ride with Delta Rose, but for now, the ride is over.

Interview with blues rockers Kingsborough as they gear up for another great year

December 9, 2015

The end of the year tends to be a time for bands to wind down but that is not the case for blues rockers Kingsborough from Santa Rosa. They have continued to keep the rock torch alive with great shows around the Bay Area. This is one band that we have been following for a couple years now and they truly give 150% every time they perform. As I have mentioned before, their music is a very welcoming fusion of soulful blues and classic rock but with a much more modernized face lift! They literally bring an intensity to their music, soulful vocals that just grab a hold of you, catchy choruses, spectacular guitar solos, striking rhythms and big harmonies that need their own zip code. This is one band that you can only be described as “ROCK AND ROLL AT ITS FINEST”. We had the chance to chat with them last Friday as they were about to perform at 755 After Dark in Sebastopol. Check out our interview with them: They have another show [Read More]
