January 15, 2014

ONE WEEK AWAY! Yes, you heard me right. Only one more week until we head to the incredible BONZO BASH NAMM JAMM 2014. We had a blast last year and it seems the Bonzo Bash is definitely one of my top highlights from NAMM.  You better get ready for another great lineup. If you are not familiar with the Bonzo Bash, it is the ultimate celebration for the ultimate drummer, John Henry Bonham of Led Zeppelin. It is presented by NATAL and Marshall and is a night filled with amazing drummers playing their favorite Led Zeppelin song. It is a complete evening of Led Zeppelin jams and this year will be a crazy one! It will be hosted by Mike Portnoy, Carmine Appice and the show creator, Brian Tichy.  As Brian says, “You can have a bash, or you can bash something. When you put that together you have the ultimate celebration to the ultimate drummer: John Henry Bonham!!!!”  Check out the list of drummers and other musicians: Seven Antonopoulos (Opiate For The Masses) Carmine [Read More]

Hana Kim at the Witzend in LA by Patrick O’Heffernan of Music Friday Live!

January 14, 2014

Hana Kim mesmerized a totally packed WitzendLive in Los Angeles Saturday night – even the bar was quiet. I have had Kim on my radio show, Music Friday Live!, and reviewed her new album, Exodo, which is a kind of minstrel tale of her life and international travels. She has steadily built a following in the very tough market of Los Angeles, releasing two EPS’ a single and now a full album so I was looking forward to the evening. The Witzend is an L.A. gem, a listening room designed with a beyond the state-of-the-art sound system for music lovers and emerging musicians with big futures.  A gig at the Witzend is a recognition of Kim’s growing popularity and bountiful talent. I knew that  her deep soulful voice would take full advantage of the club’s acoustics and that her deeply personal songs would go over very well with the discerning crowd that comes for only the best in live music. Although she has been playing almost constantly in the LA area for two years, this [Read More]
