Bios and stories about the artists we feature
We started a discussion of bands that kept playing after their original line ups broke apart. The caveat here is that at least one original band member has to still be involved for them to enter the discussion. I am not sure if there is any significance in that all the bands in Part 2 […]
There are many examples of bands that have been around a lot longer than one would expect. Bands remind me a lot of machines: they are composed of multiple parts that need to work well together in order to function properly. The integral parts can be changed, but if they don’t mesh well with […]
Level 42 has always been one of my ‘guilty pleasure’ bands along with Howard Jones. Glad to see that they can still bring it live – Mark King’s name doesn’t often surface in the ‘great bass player / vocalist’ lists, but he can do both. Clip is taken from a Dutch television program. I ran […]
There are many sources of inspiration in the world of music – there are many different articles that have been writtne about Walter Trout’s brush with death while he waited for a liver transplant – the video speaks volumes about the human body and what it can endure and heal. Inspirational is the only word […]
Here are some photos taken from the Singing Hills stage (located up hill and to the west of the main stage in front of the chalet – the Peace Hill stage) taken on Friday August 28 and Saturday August 29, 2015.

Items of interest we are just passing along in case you missed them: An Update from Lucius: Well hello there, It’s been difficult to keep this under wraps but finally we’ve revealed the big news: our brand new second album Good Grief will be released March 11. Good Grief was produced by Shawn Everett and us with Bob Ezrin […]
Born on Long Island, NY on September 19, 1981, Scott Bradlee was the perfect age to be heavily influenced by the music produced in and around that decade. This leads one to believe that he may have been inspired by the post-disco period, the emerging hair metal scene, or even grunge. No, Bradlee fell […]
Robert Colclasure: aka Rouse. I knew Bob in passing the first couple of years I was in Ontonagon as he was subbing at OASD from time to time. I first realized what a funny, talented guy he really was when I hosted a little musical gathering in my basement for anyone who wanted to show […]
