After hearing about how much fun J2G‘s previous super jam shows (The Dance Party Time Machine) turned out without being there, I was not going to miss this one.

No disrespect to Dweezil… Continue reading J2G Brings it on Valentine's Day at the Love Shack!
I’ve been a die hard Phish fan for years. After the New Year’s show, I had high expectations for the band members’ side projects this year.

I had the pleasure of catching up with guitarist and bandleader Dweezil Zappa, who is in his eighth year of leading Zappa Plays Zappa, the tour de Frank.

Recently, I read an online article arguing the inevitable demise of rock music. The writer saw fit to place the blame upon a variety of conditions, from the public unfairly judging bands by their looks (As opposed to their music), to band classifications and whether or not they deserve to be considered “classic”, to the… Continue reading Damon Fowler | Sounds Of Home | Review
It has been a freezing snowy winter all across the United States this chilly season. The temperatures have been unusually cold and the snowfall has set records in several places.

If Colorado gets frigidly cold in January and February, with temperatures well below zero, we have great music entertainment to get close in and soak in that body heat.

Porter… Continue reading Mountain Sun Funky Good Time Benefit | 2/1/14 | Review & Photos
ON the last day of January 2014 a great group of people gathered in the snow and ice at the LC Pavilion in Columbus, Ohio for a sold out Friday night show.
