Beatles Tribute band The Sun Kings bring the White album to life at House of Rock

April 28, 2018

This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles White album. The double album which was their ninth studio album was written during March and April 1968 at a Transcendental Meditation course in Rishikesh, India. The album came to life as the incredible Beatles tribute band The Sun Kings performed the double album at Santa Rosa’s House of Rock last night. The band performed the songs exceptionally and delivered the fountain of youth to the crowd. As many relived their love for the Beatles, the band continued to give a spot on performance. The energy flowed from the stage through the intimate state- of-the-art venue, capturing the attention of all. The fans danced around and sang along to their favorites. Check out photos from the night by Rockin Ryan: In addition to performing the entire White album The Sun Kings treated the crowd to a couple Beatles faves, including one of mine, “Hey Bulldog”. As they played “Love is All you Need” you could see the smiles and love spread across the venue. It was a grand celebration of Beatles [Read More]

Steven Kent’s Cash & King Live deliver an exceptional performance at Santa Rosa’s House of Rock

March 26, 2018

This weekend, we had the pleasure of catching Steven Kent’s Cash & King: The Ultimate Celebration of the Legends at the House of Rock. I was excited to listen some Johnny Cash and Elvis music, never expecting to be whisked away on a nostalgic journey of music. First we must explain that Cash & King is not a cover band or a tribute band set on impersonating the artist. It is a group of phenomenal musicians who come together to celebrate the music of the legendary Johnny Cash and Elvis. Each member of the band is supremely talented and they delivered a spot on performance. The night kicked off with a superb set of Johnny Cash songs, sprinkled with interesting anecdotes and tales from Steven. His magnetic personality and the passion he has for these artists shines through his stage presence and storytelling. Then when he begins to sing, you are immediately transported to the memories that the songs held for you. They brought the music to life and the crowd was fully engaged and [Read More]
