Back in the late 80's when the legendary club Palomino in LA was a seminal spot for the post-cowpunk California country scene, The Mustangs were a young, all-girl band who were "long on chops and strong on harmonies." After a successful few years of touring and performing, members of the group parted ways in the mid-90s to pursue other musical interests, but in 2017, The Mustangs began their renewal remembering how strong their sound was. The three original members of the group -- Suzanna Spring, Holly Montgomery and Sherry Rayn Barnett -- reconnected with a new name, Mustangs Of The West, added two dynamic new players to complete the line-up: Canadian drummer Suzanne Morissette and violinist/vocalist Aubrey Richmond, and after hearing the band rehearse at Clear Lake Audio, Los Angeles label Blue Élan Records offered the band a deal on the spot, resulting in their 2020 album release called "TIME," produced by Mark Howard (Willie Nelson, Neil Young, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, U2) and received acclaim from the San Francisco Chronicle, Americana Highways, Goldmine Magazine, No Depression, Pulse, Guitar Girl Magazine, renowned Nashville journalist Holly Gleason, and many other music writers. As the music business slowly recovered from COVID shutdowns, Mustangs Of The West joined a new label, and the result was “SEA OF HEARTBREAK" and "DOWN AT THE PALOMINO," released in July 2023.

Alexandria-based singer/songwriter/guitarist and music producer John Fishell's formal classical training occasionally pokes through into his musical presence, as does his professional experience with jazz and world music. But John will ultimately carry the heavy rock to you, and all you need to do is dig on it. While studying music in college, NEA Jazz Master David Liebman recruited John to record a big band album, and this relationship led to John engineering various albums with other future NEA Jazz Masters including Jon Hendricks, Jimmy Cobb, Jack DeJohnette, Dave Holland, and Billy Hart. The 2002 Dave Liebman Big Band album John worked on called 'Beyond the Line' was Grammy-nominated in the “Best Instrumental Arrangement” category. Alongside being a traveling music production and recording college instructor until recently, John has produced a live studio album and written previous songs, but most recently released the single "Carolina California" which made the top 40 on the Mediabase chart. He will be touring in the UK this year and elsewhere.

Celebrating 52 years of being co-founder and drummer of rock mainstay Foghat in 2023, Roger Earl is still ferociously banging away all these years later. With eight gold records, two platinum records, and one multi platinum record under his belt and many other projects in the works over five decades, Roger Earl quotes the late Foghat singer Lonesome Dave when he says “I’M GONNA ROLL ‘TIL I’M OLD, GONNA ROCK ‘TIL I DROP!” In November of 2023, they will release a new album titled 'Sonic Mojo,' and they are still out on the road, traveling across the land and bringing their infectious boogie to packed houses full of adoring fans nearly every night. A Foghat concert is every bit as much fun and intense now as it was in 1977 when their classic multi-platinum album 'Foghat Live' broke them around the world. Looking back, it’s only fitting that it was a live album that made Foghat a household name. The band wouldn’t have it any other way.

Frank Stefanko fell in love with photography and music at a very young age, and as a result, one of the highlights of his lengthy career was to have photographed Bruce Springsteen in numerous ways over a 40 year time span. From meeting up and walking around Stefanko's house taking pictures that would eventually grace the covers of "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" and "The River," to Bruce using a Stefanko picture on the cover of his autobiography "Born To Run," their friendship grew well over decades. Stefanko also used his many photographic talents to create a myriad of exceptional nature images too, which along with his musician work grace photo galleries across the globe.

TAKE A RIDE WITH ME AT ONE OF BRUCE' SPRINGSTEEN'S MOST EMOTIONALLY POWERFUL SHOWS EVER. This week I found a long e-mail concert review I did for a variety of people of Bruce's summer 2002 show in DC, it was his first tour since 9-11, and this story took me back to easily one of the most emotionally unforgettable shows I have ever seen of his or anyone else. And hey, I also got to meet one of the E Street Band guys prior, too. But this will take you right back with me, and remind you of how memorable it was, and how much he means to us as he begins his current tour 20 years later. Enjoy.

Grammy-nominated Chris Brubeck, one of five sons and one daughter of jazz legend Dave Brubeck and his wife Iola, is a longtime highly respected musician who continues to distinguish himself as an innovative performer and award-winning composer and arranger, clearly tuned into the pulse of contemporary music. John von Rhein, music critic for The Chicago Tribune, calls Chris “a composer with a real flair for lyrical melody – a 21st Century Lenny Bernstein.” Many of his "classical" compositions still contain strong hints of the jazz influence of his seminal father, he has created an impressive body of symphonic work while maintaining a demanding touring and recording schedule with the Brubeck Brothers Quartet (with brother Dan on drums) whose recordings have all landed in the Top 10 on Jazz Radio Charts. His standing-ovation-worthy compositions have been commissioned by the Boston Symphony, New York Pops, Kennedy Center, Baltimore Symphony, and many others.
