Interview with Danny Malone as they bring emotions to life with their set at Regency Ballroom

June 10, 2016

Last night was a magical one as we were in San Francisco to cover a night of the Blue October Home Tour. We were pleased to find out that Danny Malone would be opening the show at Regency Ballroom. Danny Malone creates music that brings influences of folk, indie, rock, alternative to life but with much richer and deep emotions. He truly is engaging with his lyrics and connects with the audience. His band includes Charley Siess on drums and Kenni Hede on bass. Together these three delivered an emotionally driven set. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: We had the chance to chat with the band before their set and you can check out the interview here: Make sure to stay tuned as they will be working on their new album and bringing us new music.

Day 10 of our 12 Days of Vocalists goes to Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October

December 24, 2014

It is Christmas Eve and we are at the Day 10 of 12 Days of Vocalists. Today I would like to honor a vocalist who not only brings a paramount of emotion to life when he sings but has also been the soundtrack to many of my life’s ups and downs. That is the supremely talented, Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October. There is something so purely magical when Justin sings, his heartfelt passion shines through to the listener and creates an everlasting connection. He brings them hope, helps them, quiets their frustration, comforts them, ignites a passion within them, and is that little voice in your head telling you that it will all be okay. Maybe it is the fact that through his music, he has dealt with so many issues, struggles, celebrations, etc. Through his emotionally driven lyrics he has invited us all into his world and his songs in return, help each and every one of us when we are faced with our own challenges. He is vulnerable, raw, passionate, and completely honest [Read More]
