Jessie Payo comes home to LA a country star with Payote magic by Patrick O’Heffernan

August 19, 2014

Jessie Payo, the diminutive soul singer with a larger than life voice has come home to LA, but more important, she has arrived. After more than a decade of recording, training, touring and singing with superstars like Melissa Etheridge, Jessie has found her county sound, and she created country magic at the Hotel Café in Hollywood Friday night. It’s no wonder her twitter handle is @payoetemusic. She was booked to come on at 9 pm and while she was setting up the crowd poured in, They were here for her. And she did not disappoint them. For almost an hour, she rocked, seduced, mesmerized and united with a full house, demonstrating the maturity and the self confidence of an experienced entertainer. She brought us her own brand of gut-tightening, head bobbing very personal country. Frankly, I had more fun listening to her at Hotel Café than I did at the Wynonna & the Big Noise concert at Century City. Jessie opened with her heart rending “ I will Die Alone”, which sailed through the room [Read More]

Check out the new video by Mariachi Muerto for Defender

August 19, 2014

We told you a couple months ago about a great Latin style Rap/Rock, Mariachi Muerto from Corpus Christi, TX. Mariachi Muerto is Ruben A Lopez on Lead Vocals, Mark A Pantoja on Rhythm Guitar, Lee Roy Lerma on Drums, and Roger Vela on Bass. They have released another great video. This time it is for their bad ass song, Defender. Check it out here: They have once again impressed me with their style of music. They have blends of a POD style but are in no way imitating as they have successfully created a unique style blending rap, rop and nu-metal all still while maintaining a strong Latin flair. This is one band you should keep your eyes on because I am sure you will be hearing a lot more from them. Also make sure to visit their social media sites and follow/like them. We will see if we can bring you more updates about Mariachi Muerto. ~ Marisol Information & Links: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mariachimuertomusic Twitter: https://twitter.com/mariachi_muerto
