LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL 2014 LINEUP IS HERE!
23 JunI’ve had to keep this under wraps for some time now but I’m happy to finally share the 2014 lineup for Life is Beautiful. Hope you can join me and the team in Downtown Las Vegas October 24-26 to rock out with the artists listed below.
VIDEO: 2013 Life is Beautiful Festival MUSIC Recap
22 JunOh man, just 24 hours from the 2014 Life is Beautiful lineup! I cannot wait to share this year’s lineup with everyone. Each minute we get closer to releasing it the more excited I get. I hope my enthusiasm and love for the talent assembled for year two of the festival is shared by you as well after tomorrow. I hope that as you watch this video below which recaps the music portion of Life is Beautiful 2013, you get pumped to create a whole new set of beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.
“A music festival is a gathering of a lot of strangers but I must say that music by the end of the night it always makes me feel like I know everybody that I shared that experience with and there’s nothing else in the world that can do that like music.” – Dan Reynolds, Imagine Dragons at Life is Beautiful Festival
Music Monday: Wrestlers – “Say Anything” (feat. Twin Shadow and D’Angelo Lacy)
12 MayThe first time I heard this was back in March and was in absolute awe of this track. If you follow Red Bull Sound Select, you’re probably familiar with the duo of Adian Kennedy and David Elkin as Bagheera who now go by Wrestlers and have a ridiculously amazing song in “Say Anything which features Twin Shadow and D’Angelo Lacy. Give a listen below and don’t be afraid to get up and start dancing. Happy Monday!
WATCH: You want to know why I love music? Because of moments like this
8 MayI LOVE everything about this. I’ll let the video speak for me but Bruce Springsteen, yet another reason why you are a legend and one of my all time favorites. Please just watch this video and watch until the end. To me, this is why music is so powerful, amazing and uniting. There truly is nothing quite like it!
Peace + Love + Music

Video: Phil & Friends | “Franklin’s Tower” | 4.20.14 | Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas
23 AprLast weekend was one for the ages as Phil Lesh descended upon Las Vegas and played three nights at the brand new Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas with an all-star lineup which included Jackie Greene, John Scofield, John Medeski, Stu Allen and Joe Russo. How’s that for a powerhouse lineup?! And boy did it live up to the billing. It was definitely an honor to watch these guys on stage and the chemistry was just ON.
Here’s a video of “Franklin’s Tower” from night three of the run. Apologies in advance as it’s only four minutes since I wasn’t prepared for them to play one of my favorite Dead songs and I cut it short because frankly, my arm was tired. Regardless, I think you’ll enjoy it!
And since today is a great day, I’ll do you one better. You can click the links below to download all three shows from Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas!
Raise and glass and celebrate Insert Coin(s) turning three!
4 AprTime sure does fly and I have to give a HUGE shout out to Chris LaPorte for all his continued success with Insert Coin(s)! From reliving my youth and playing old school video games like Frogger to seeing incredible musical talents like Denitia and Sene, plus the killer music programming by DJ88 and the venue in Downtown Las Vegas is a gaming and music paradise.
For the next three nights it will be one nonstop party as Insert Coin(s) celebrates three years of games and grooves. Tonight one of our fast rising local bands (who also played Life is Beautiful), The Dirty Hooks take the stage while Saturday should be an action packed night with DJ88, Crykit, Black Boots, OB One and Dave Fogg on the decks. And on Sunday, some of my favorite musicians, The Knocks, will perform!
Do You Hear The Music?
