Foreigner delivers stellar set at Shoreline for The Historic Farewell Tour

August 25, 2023

Last night was not your typical Thursday night in the Bay Area and it is one that will remain strong in our memories. We were at the Shoreline Amphitheatre to see Foreigner – The Historic Farewell tour with Loverboy. The venue was quickly filling up as a couple high school choirs were battling out.  They got the crowd warmed up and the energy quickly elevated the second Loverboy took the stage. Loverboy kicked it off strong with Notorious and the crowd erupted in cheers, they followed it up with a personal favorite Lucky Ones. The hits kept on coming, one after another and the crowd was soaking it all in. You could feel the nostalgia in the air as many of us were reliving our high school years.  It was incredible to watch groups of friends come together to revisit a band that was the soundtrack of their youth and to witness Loverboy deliver the songs nearly exactly ss they sounded years ago! I was sitting near a couple of large groups who were dancing [Read More]

Garret T. Willie release epic new rock/blues track, Love Hangover

June 16, 2023

Garret T. Willie is an old soul that you have to check out.  The rock and blues guitarist truly channels classic blues and rock with his music.  He has just released his  new track, Love Hangover and it is epic!  Garret commenting about the new song, “That’s one that Parker really took the lead on. He was, like, ‘I wanna write a really good, radio-ready banger.’ So I said ‘Okay, let’s do it.’ He started playing me this drum loop that, I swear, he just ripped from Gary Glitter’s ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll’ and I looked at him right away and he said ‘Don’t fuckin’ give me that look, just riff over it. Just trust me on this.’ So I kept trying and trying and trying and playing this and that, playing this and that, this and that, until finally I gotiff, the one that’s on the record. And then he said ‘I like that. Do it again.’“The song is about this one Muse, I guess you could say, that I had at that point in [Read More]

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.
