Wishing all the Mom’s a very Happy Mother’s Day! And since you’ve heard, “Happy” by Pharrell Williams probably 2,978 times already, how about a wicked cover by some fellas from down under, John Butler Trio.
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: The Head and The Heart – “Summertime”
5 MayYes, “Summertime” is on The Head and The Heart album Let’s Be Still which came out last year but until last week there wasn’t a video for it. Now comes a rad illustrated video produced by Chad VanGaalen that matches the flow of the song and of course, makes me excited for you guessed it, Summertime! Read more at CMJ, HERE.
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!
Now Playing: Seinabo Sey – “Younger”
16 MarHappy Sunday. Here’s a tune I think you’ll want to start listening to and hitting play over and over. “Younger” by Seinabo Sey. I randomly stumbled upon this one and now can’t stop listening to this Scandinavian soul singer.
