Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 14 Days – @dawestheband

11 Oct

Since we are exactly two weeks away from the kick-off party for Life is Beautiful on Friday, October 25 I thought it’d be fitting to play a little Dawes in their honor since they’ll be rocking the stage that evening and prepping everyone for two days of excitement at the inaugural Life is Beautiful Festival!

Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 15 Days – @CapitalCities

10 Oct

The countdown lives on. Time for a little Capital Cities as I work through the night with some amazing people to make this bad boy become a spectacle you’re going to be have a see to believe. Just over two weeks until we can sing and dance with these fellas.

Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 16 Days – Childish Gambino

9 Oct

Taking a break from acting, focusing back on music and just posted that the new album is wrapped, this should make for an epic performance from Childish Gambino. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him perform a handful of times and he’s never disappointed and a suspect Life is Beautiful will be a wild one!

New Music: @PassionPit – Constant Conversations EP

8 Oct

Wow, give a listen to this new version of “Constant Conversations” by Passion Pit. Just in time for their performance at Life is Beautiful! This version as well as a Dillon Francis remix of “Carried Away” and “Ruin Your Day” are on the new Constant Conversations EP which dropped today.

Countdown to Life is Beautiful: 18 Days – Alpine

8 Oct

And so the countdown to Life is Beautiful continues…..this time it’s for Alpine, another fantastic group from down under. The sextuplet is currently on tour supporting Empire of the Sun and will be rocking the stage at Life is Beautiful.

Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 19 Days – @AlabamaShakes

6 Oct

“Don’t worry sweet baby! Don’t you ever worry ’bout a thing. Put them worries on the shelf ‘n’ learn to love yourself Don’t be your own worst enemy.”

If you’re like me, you’re counting down the days until Brittany Howard and her crew hop up on stage at Life is Beautiful and do their thing. If you’ve never seen the Alabama Shakes live in concert, you’re in for a treat.  Every time I’ve seen them in concert, they haven’t disappointed.  From a small sized tent to a massive festival field and an indoor concert hall, they’ve just crushed it and I can’t wait for them to bring their sweet sound to Life is Beautiful.  Gonna be a rock and roll good time!

 

Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 20 Days – @ZZWard

5 Oct

The countdown to Life is Beautiful Festival continues and today is a ZZ Ward kinda day. If you aren’t familiar with ZZ Ward you have less than three weeks to fix that. The fast rising singer/songwriter had her first stint in Las Vegas playing Book & Stage about a year and a half ago and now she returns on the big stage.

Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 21 Days – twenty one pilots

4 Oct

Figure now is as best a time as any to start a little countdown to Life is Beautiful. I can’t believe how fast the last year has gone and here we are just three weeks away from the festival kicking off with our Grills & Guitars party with music by Dawes and Todd Rundgren. But in honor of 21 days from the festival, here’s a little music from twenty one pilots who will be performing on October 27. Hope to see you in Downtown Las Vegas and join me for what’s going to be an epic weekend.

Peace + Love + Music
