A month ago The Weeknd dropped new music and now I can’t help but keep hitting repeat on this remix of The Weeknd’s that new track, “Often” by the one and only Kygo! Give a listen for yourself and I think you’ll be like me, on repeat. So stoked to have The Weeknd performing at Life is Beautiful in Vegas this October! His first festival in over two years!

NEW ARTIST ADDITIONS to Life is Beautiful Festival
22 JulThis morning we announced six new artist additions to the Life is Beautiful Festival 2014 lineup! Stoked to keep making this lineup stronger with the additions of Little Dragon, Baauer, Kimbra, Nahko and Medicine For The People, Echosmith and Bear Hands!
Little Dragon – have never played Las Vegas
Baauer – throws down some of the best DJ sets I’ve ever experienced at festivals let alone quickly becoming one of the best nightclub DJs around
Kimbra – is back after close to a three year absence where she was working on her new album The Golden Echo which drops August 19. Her new single, “Miracle” just dropped and Life is Beautiful is her only festival this year
Nahko and Medicine For The People – get ready to get a little spiritual and dance away with these Portlandians
Echosmith – if you haven’t listened to the song, “Cool Kids” I sure hope you know all the lyrics by October
Bear Hands – oh baby, this is going to be a great show. Check out their latest single “Agora”
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
REVISITED: O.A.R. | 4.24.14 | Brooklyn Bowl | Night 1
25 AprDamn did it feel good to see O.A.R. live once again. While I have lost count of how many O.A.R. shows I’ve seen over the years, I do know that it has been a couple years since I last got a chance to see them live. Night one of a three night extended stay at Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas instantly put me back in that happy place and made me feel right at home. With good friends all around me it was a perfect evening and I for one can’t wait for the next two nights of shows.
SETLIST:

Hey Vegas, YOU + ME @ Brooklyn Bowl the next three nights for O.A.R.
24 AprOkay Vegas, anyone who was in high school or college circa 1999 should be joining me at Brooklyn Bowl the next three nights as O.A.R. comes to town for a stopover!
C’mon be honest with yourself, you know you’ve spent plenty of college nights and fraternity/sorority parties rocking out to “That Was A Crazy Game of Poker,” “Hey Girl,” “City On Down,” and if you’re a little younger chances are you’ve grown up with “Shattered,” “This Town,” “Heaven” and now their new single, “Peace.”
Regardless of anything I’ve said above if you’re into music, the next three nights are simply ones you won’t want to miss. Perhaps I’m biased but a live O.A.R. show is an event and more importantly a damn good time. So come on, drive yourself over to the Linq, marvel at the High Roller, stroll up to Brooklyn Bowl and come see some killer music in one of the best live music settings. Oh and if you think it’s going to be a late one, shows are at 7:30, you have no excuse.
Now back to the 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!
Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 3 Days – @HAIMtheband
22 OctQuite possibly one of the hottest acts around, I cannot wait to have HAIM perform at Life is Beautiful. The sisters who debuted on Billboard at #6 and #1 in the UK bring their solid rock sound to the neon desert for the first time. This is going to be one show festival goers are going to want to be sure to take in.
Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 4 Days – @EmpireOfTheSun
21 Oct“Loving every minute ’cause you make me feel so alive, alive.” Indeed this is so true this week! Here we go, it’s officially festival week! Just days away from Empire of the Sun taking the stage to blow people’s minds with their spectacle! You can catch them close out the Ambassador Stage on Sunday evening at Life is Beautiful!
See you all soon!
Peace + Love + Music
