Actor Rob Morrow and his RMB band rocks the Santa Monica Playhouse.

May 21, 2018

Patrick O’Heffernan   (Santa Monica) The beloved actor Rob Morrow bought his funky country blues band RMB to the Santa Monica Playhouse’s community theater stage,  playing for a small audience as part of the gig by  the extraordinary, eclectic country-jazz-pop band We Are the West’s.  This was WAW’s second concert at the historic Playhouse as part of the Playhouse Sessions, a concert production which raises funds for arts education & community outreach in LA.  It was the first time I  had seen RMB and Morrow and they were hot!   RMB has been around for some time and  played at local La clubs like The Mint, the Viper Room, Molly Malone’s and even at the Venice Beach Art Walk. Rob himself is a crackerjack guitar player, first class songwriter and a proficient singer.  The band – Carlos Calvo on guitar and also co-writer and backing vocals, Sam Aliano on drums, Carlos Costa on bass, and Jason Libs on keys – is also crackerjack.  They play like they have been doing all their lives with Morrow, [Read More]

Bishop Briggs fuels Sacramento with her high energy set at Ace of Spades

May 2, 2018

Last night in Sacramento, the place to be was at the Ace of Spades for the sold out Bishop Briggs show. Fans lined up hours earlier and were sharing their Bishop Briggs tales of past concerts, favorite songs and fan memories.  It was great to see that the crowd had no specific demographic, as Bishop’s music is a fave for all.  There were parents who brought their young 5 – 10 year old girls who couldn’t wait to see the show. The crowd was filled with fans from ages 5 to 75, and all were in for a killer night. The evening kicked off with an amazing set by Matt Maeson who wooed the crowd with his infectious songs that brought the crowd to their feet. You can also catch Matt at the end of the month at BottleRock Napa Festival. The venue was filled to capacity and the crowd was ready for Bishop to hit the stage. As the lights dimmed once again, the crowd erupted into screams and cheer to greet Bishop to [Read More]

CONCERT REVIEW: Umphrey’s McGee blows @ LA’s Wiltern – Written by Jessica Klausing

April 10, 2018

      Umphrey’s McGee entranced the Los Angeles’ Wiltern theater for two, high energy-packed sets. Amidst the hypnotic psychedelic light show and LED visuals, Umphrey’s McGee seamlessly weaves progressive rock, jazz, disco, funk, metal, and electronic genres into a cohesive dance mix. Each band member has a keen musical ear and an uncanny talent to communicate with each other on stage. If you’re not familiar with these technically adept musicians then you might be a bit overwhelmed. At any given minute, the band may take a blues ballad and feverishly drive into a tripped out psychedelic groove. Their classic hits are consistently being re-worked into a whole new sound. The die-hard UM fans or “Umphreaks” will proudly express how each show is a completely different mind-blowing experience. Umphrey’s is known for their extended complex instrumental jams and abruptly switching songs mid way only to be re-visited later on in the set. The opener, Organ Freeman heated up the night with some organ centered instrumental jams. Rob Humphreys (drums), Trevor Steer (organ, key bass), and [Read More]

Fans braved the torrential rains of a Friday night in San Francisco to step back in time and witness an incredible performance by Night Ranger at the legendary Fillmore.
