Oak Street Blues span across the genres for some alternative country rock

April 14, 2014

Yes, that is right I called it alternative, country, rock and I might add even hints of electronic, blues and pop. That is exactly what you get from Southern California band, Oak Street Blues.The band was founded by Chris Hall, and with his 15 year history with several bands from a variety of genres, he brought together his influences to create their own unique sound that reminds me of a cross between Tom Petty and Wilco. Oak Street Blues is Chris Hall on Lead Guitar/Singer, Stephanie Sheer on Keyboards/Vocals, Jenny Arias on Bass and Alejandra Arellano on Drums. When they come together and perform you are guaranteed an energetic, lively and unpredictable time but hence you will always have fun! You may even catch sight of a Pumpkin, Penguin, Spaceman or Mr. Frog. “Sometimes it’s nice to just get away from your daily life to enjoy a fun-filled concert setting that will make you laugh and jump around,” says Oak Street Blues guitarist/lead singer Chris Hall. “Rock ’n‘ roll comes to life at our shows. We will definitely entertain you.” Their latest EP, Calico, is [Read More]

April 12, 2014

Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Artist is Robert DeLong. Today I want to bring you something a little bit different than what I usually share with you. That is the great new music by Robert DeLong. Robert is a singer/songwriter that is truly a one man electronic band.

William Control delivers a cinematic musical masterpiece with Neuromancer

April 3, 2014

What began as a side project of Wil Francis as he embarked to create an outlet of music which was quite different than that of Aiden. With that, William Control was born and I am glad that it grew with a magical life of it’s own and became his focus, hence I will refer to Wil Francis as William Control. Out NOW! The release of William Control‘s latest album, Neuromancer. If you are familiar with William Control, this album is the prelude to his previous works; Hate Culture, Noir and Silentium Amoris which all tell the tale of the nihilistic suicidal William Control. It all started with Hate Culture where the young man embarks on a last night of sex, sin and debauchery before he attempts to kill himself. How did this man get this way? What brought him to that edge? What is his story of how he became the screw up that he is? Well, that is where Neuromancer comes in. This album is a prelude to Hate Culture and you are able to really get to know [Read More]
