Fireworks, Grilling, Apple Pie, and some good American music sounds just what the doctor ordered this 4th of July and we’re getting things started a night early! The next installment of the Life is Beautiful Downtown Las Vegas Music Showcase is going Americana this Wednesday night as we invade the parking lot at Park on Fremont for an evening of sweet music. Homegrown festival act, Beau Hodges Band will headline a great night of music also featuring Justin Mather, Easy 8’s, Kalsey Kulyk and Megan Barker! Hope you can make it, going to be a fun one! Also if you’re one of the first 50 people in attendance you’ll be able to snag one of these schnazzy posters designed by local artists Hernan Valencia.
Now Playing: smallpools – “Dreaming”
20 JunIf you haven’t been listening to smallpools yet, you need to stat before they become all the rage on the radio. Alt Nation on SiriusXM even just started giving these guys some spins. I came across these guys when I learned they were going on tour this summer with one of my Australian favs, San Cisco, so if you get a chance to catch this show, don’t miss out! For now, enjoy, play and repeat.
Happy Thursday y’all!
Now Playing: Avicii – “Wake Me Up” ft. Aloe Blacc
17 JunIf you haven’t had a chance to listen to this just yet, do it now! I totally dig this, Avicii gone country (yes those who went to Ultra it wasn’t a joke). Give a listen to “Wake Me Up” which features the soulful Aloe Blacc. This is going to crossover so many different radio formats; I’d so love to see this hit number one on multiple ones.
And if you haven’t spent time listening to Aloe Blacc, sure get over to itunes, Spotify, to get his music and go see one of his shows; you owe it to yourself. Trust me.
