The House of Rock in Santa Rosa have consistently been delivering incredible shows to Sonoma County and they did it again this past weekend. The intimate premiere venue featured a night of incredible Rock with Lynch Mob hitting the stage Friday night. The show started off with a fierce set by FeatherWitch, incredible cover band featuring hits from the 70’s and 80’s. The crowd loved them and were singing along to their favorites. Check out photos of their set by our Rockin Ryan: The crowd erupted in cheer as Lynch Mob hit the stage. Their set was kicked off with high energy that continued until they stepped off the stage. The highlight was when they played Just Got Lucky (Dokken) which they mentioned was the first time the band performed it live. The crowd felt honored to be part of the special performance. The concert was made even more spectacular with the addition of the excellent sound system and lighting that House of Rock boasts. Check out photos from their set: You can catch Lynch [Read More]

LIVE’s extraordinary set at BottleRock Napa took me back to my 20’s

June 4, 2017

A very personal highlight for myself at BottleRock Napa 2017 has to be seeing the original lineup of LIVE perform. They have reunited and the original lineup of Kowalczyk, guitarist Chad Taylor, bassist Patrick Dahlheimer and drummer Chad Gracey are in the midst of a World Tour. In addition to touring they will be releasing new music. Their set brought me back to the first time I saw them, back in a small nightlclub (possibly the DNA Lounge or Paradise Lounge) in San Francisco in the early 90’s. It was right before they entered into mainstream success and it was such an honor to catch them in the intimate environment. One thing was certain, over the years, I have held bands live performances to the standards of LIVE’s performance in that small venue. They had energy, adrenaline and passion exuding with every note, beat and lyric. Fast forward to BottleRock Napa 2017 and LIVE’s performance had me reminiscing of that first show. They hit the stage and were non-stop with the energy. They impressed me all [Read More]

Blue October, The Fillmore San Francisco.

Interview with Justin of Blue October ahead of their stellar performance at The Fillmore in San Francisco

May 20, 2017

Earlier this week we headed to the legendary Fillmore as Blue October brought the Heart Go Bang Tour to San Francisco. We have impatiently waited for this date to arrive. See, Blue October was not just another band for us to cover, they are a band that had provided the playlist to my life’s ups and downs for the past 20 years. Most recently in March, during my Mother’s hospice care at home, she would lay next to me and listen to Blue October, nearly silent for days, yet show would respond and tell me she liked the songs. Her favorite during that time, The Feel Again, (Stay). What a heavy song and yet, I truly clutched to those words… Stay… selfishly I wanted more time with her. After she passed away, I could feel the dark depression setting in as it had with my Father 5 years earlier. But I turned to music and once again to Blue October. Their latest album, Home which shot up the charts to a No. 1 spot [Read More]
