Countdown to Life is Beautiful 2014: Vintage Trouble

14 Oct

Years ago I was fortunate enough to not only see Vintage Trouble live a handful of times but also able to review one of their shows at Book & Stage for Vegas SEVEN. Fast forward a couple years and here I have booked Vintage Trouble for not one but two shows at Life is Beautiful 2014! The Ty Taylor led outfit will headline the Grills & Guitars kickoff party on Thursday, October 23 and then hit the Western Stage on Friday, October 24 at the festival! If you’ve never seen this band live you are missing out and if you have seen them live, you know these two shows are going to be electric! Hope to see you there!

Countdown to Life is Beautiful 2014: Echosmith

5 Oct

We’re in the teens!  Only 19 days until the second Life is Beautiful festival in Downtown Las Vegas, October 24-26! In anticipation, at DoYouHearTheMusic.com I’ll be running down an artist or two on the lineup! If you haven’t gotten your tickets, do so at www.lifeisbeautiful.com and if you have, awesome and I can’t wait to see you!

I’m not sure there are too many other acts who have been thrust into the spotlight in 2014 as much as Echosmith.  These “Cool Kids” are everywhere right now, are currently on tour with American Authors and are being tabbed my many publications and outlets as the artist to watch.  All of it well deserved and I couldn’t be more excited for this group of siblings.  These kids have such a positive outlook on life and totally embody Life is Beautiful. We’re pumped to have them on the lineup and can’t wait for their performance on Friday, October 24.

It’s time to introduce you to a DJ you must see at Life is Beautiful, M4SONIC.  Hailing from Australia, M4SONIC, is a classically trained pianist, producer turned DJ who has mastered Launchpad/Ableton.  With a crazy knack for beautiful mash-ups, his YouTube videos rack up ridiculous numbers (in the millions) and now he’s taking his show on the road.  Beyond being excited for M4SONIC to drop a massive set in Vegas and thanks to the great team at Sol Republic, we thought we’d help give you a sample of what you can expect; check out this mash-up video M4SONIC made for Life is Beautiful in anticipation of his performance.

It’s exciting to know that a handful of artists are making their first play in Las Vegas at Life is Beautiful and here’s another one, Tycho.  I’ve spoken to several people who are all amped up about finally get a chance to see Tycho live let alone in their hometown.  Currently touring as a four-piece, the brainchild of Scott Hansen has never sounded so good!  I’ve had the lucky opportunity to see Tycho a couple times this year and cannot wait for them descend upon the neon desert for what is sure to be an amazing performance.  Get ready for an instrumental electronic experience and make sure you carve out time to see them perform on Saturday, October 25.

Countdown to Life is Beautiful 2014: St. Paul & The Broken Bones

27 Sep

The home stretch towards the second Life is Beautiful festival in Downtown Las Vegas, October 24-26. In anticipation, at DoYouHearTheMusic.com I’ll be running down an artist or two on the lineup! If you haven’t gotten your tickets, do so at www.lifeisbeautiful.com and if you have, awesome and I can’t wait to see you!

Let me lay it down like this.  If you are coming to Life is Beautiful, this is one of your can’t miss performances of the festival, St. Paul & The Broken Bones.  These guys have absolutely blown up in less than two years and 2015 is primed to be massive for this Birmingham, Alabama outfit.  Not only is their album, Half The City, something you should have on repeat but St. Paul & The Broken Bones have delivered one of the best shows I’ve seen in 2014.   They ooze soul and when you hear Paul Janeway’s voice, you may just have a religious experience.

Oh baby! We are exactly four days away from Life is Beautiful 2014!  And it’s Friday so what better than featuring Priory, one of the late additions to the Life is Beautiful 2014 lineup that have a song titled “Weekend.”  Clearly the perfect song for you to listen to today and it’s exciting that we were able to add the electro-pop outfit out of Portland and I can’t wait for them to take the stage and perform for you all.  Catch Priory on Friday, October 24.
