House of Rock puts on another great Rock n Roll show with L.A. Guns and DOKKEN!

August 29, 2016

The Rock Star University House of Rock was a packed venue this past Friday night. This was a night of straight up hard rock as L.A. Guns and DOKKEN made Santa Rosa a stop on their current tour. They couldn’t have picked a better venue as the House of Rock delivered top notch service. The impressive venue features a jaw dropping memorabilia collection, spectacular state of the art sound and stage system, full lighting and effects, comfortable seating to include sofa lounges, bar benches, bistro bar tables or if you prefer, general admission standing right in front of the stage. The stage features a catwalk that insures everyone in the venue is getting the best view at all. The night kicked off with a high energy set by V², the 13 year old rock virtuous Vittorio and Vincenzo. They also recently released their music video for their bad ass track, Hard and Fast which is off their just released full length V²: The Beginning. Check out the video here as well as some photos of their set: L.A. [Read More]

Blake Morgan and Janita tour the west: two diamonds sparkling in the stage lights

August 29, 2016

(Los Angeles). If you live in any of the cities where Blake Morgan and Janita are performing on the remainder of their West Coast tour you should cancel what you are doing and see them live. If not, buy their albums and play them in headphones with your eyes closed. Either way, the experience is transformative, as it was Saturday night on the Second Stage of Hollywood’s renowned Hotel Café. Blake’s bell-pure voice, stunning guitar chops and poetry-in-music lyrics made the outside world disappear. When teamed with Janita, the effect was far more than the sum of its parts – it was magic; it took both your breath and your cares away. Both Morgan and Janita are stunning singer-songwriters and experienced at-ease performers who kept an almost full house mesmerized for two hours, with Morgan opening and delivering nine songs, some new and some from his albums, and Janita doing the same in the second set, accompanied by Morgan on the guitar and vocals. The songwriting was inspired and the passion that drove the [Read More]

Chandler Juliet releases new music video for Don’t Miss You

August 29, 2016

We are excited to share with you the new music video from recording artist/actress Chandler Juliet for her song, Don’t Miss You. The song once again highlights the emotive vocals of Chandler and brings out a soulful tone to captivate you. The song completely captures that moment when you decide to move forward and empower yourself. As displayed in the great video, you can feel the shift in power as you let go and move on. We all have those exes, where you might remember certain great times or memories. Those memories are sometimes what draws the people back together but truly, what you were missing were those moments and not the person. That is the moment when you regain the power that someone’s memory had on you. You become you again. Check out the praiseworthy video here: In case you missed our recent chat with Chandler when she was visiting in San Francisco, check it out below: If you don’t already have her debut EP Loud Heart, pick it up today by heading [Read More]
