Kingsborough is our Bottle Rock Napa 2014 Featured Band of the Day

April 2, 2014

  Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is Kingsborough. Today was a bit of a rough day for me so I wanted to feature a band that helped me through this rough patch.  So today I wanted to feature the soulful music of Kingsborough. They have an amazing sound that when you take a listen, you might think you entered a time machine and found yourself at a Day on the Green in the late 70s.  If I was to describe them I would say they are a mix of The Allman Brothers and The Black Crowes.  These are five guys from right here in Santa Rosa and they are bringing their big sound to Bottle Rock Napa this year. Their songs are filled with passionate soulful vocals, fierce guitar solos, sweet harmonies and smooth melodies. Today, when I was listening to Little Miss, it completely just takes me to a better place. The guitars in that song just danced with my soul and fueled me with energy. One of my favorite songs is [Read More]

Dear Papi, It was always “My Way” with you!

January 14, 2013

Dear Papi, I know you the first thing you are saying… “what are you doing using your work to talk to me!!” Well, today I just need to share and it is all about you…. My father… My love of my life… My world… I can’t remember a time when I didn’t think of you as my best friend or my hero in my world. I know how some people have changes in their relationships with their fathers, but I don’t think ours ever changed. Even when you were strict about my skirt from school being 3″ below the knee! or about not having boys call the house for me when I was 13 or about staying up past midnight on a date when I was 16! I still respected you and thought of you as the hero of my world. With all our faults together, yes, we could started a lot of riots, put liquor stores out of business, crashed a few cars, broke many laws and commandments but what we didn’t do was [Read More]

September 30, 2012

The great thing about Music is that there are so many different genres out there to enjoy at any time. I love not being pegged into a music genre hole and just listening to one thing. I listen to all types of music and enjoy each one of them. So today I want to introduce you to enjoy a  Funky Rock and Blues fusion cocktail that is AmAEvolutioN.  They have such an incredible sound that just blends so many types of music and just comes together beautifully.  You will hear some Rock, R & B, Soul, Funk and Blues all meshed together that just has me captivated! Being a native from the Bay Area, I applaud Berkeley native Nadiya Lewis on her commanding presence on her vocals. She just sings right to your soul and you can just feel her emotions!  Then you can really enjoy the guitarist Sergio de Paula Lima as he lays down some great guitar work complimenting the cool bass lines of Musashi “Moose” Lethridge  and topping it off with the smooth [Read More]
