Episode 126 - The Orange Opera May 05, 2008

Show notes

The Orange Opera from Fort Wayne, Indiana came into the studio to record this show and then we joined them up at the Red Line Tap for a live show in the evening.\nThe Wizard and Theresa Carter joined me and we all fell out of our chairs laughing with these guys. It is, perhaps the funniest show we have ever done.\nIf you are fortunate enough to live near this band, you owe it to yourself to go see them live. When we know they are coming to Chicago we will let you know. They, unlike the three other bands playing that night, got a standing "O" after every song and at the end of the set the audience demanded an encore.\nHereand#39;s some pics from the show. \n\n

Joe Taylor, originally from Canada, then New York, and recently in Los Angeles working on his new album, joined me one evening in late January and showed me and now you what a consumate professional singer/songwriter he is.\nJoe has performed in multiple venues in over 20 states and all over Canada.

Episode 122 - The United Secrets of America Apr 16, 2008

Show notes

The United Secrets of America This 2008 incarnation of the Rock Power Trio blew the windows out of the studio with their Loud and Proud music. The first song "Believe U" begins with "Pink Floydish" sounds and then attacks the senses with their raw power combined with their tight performance. Ryan, Chris and Kenji are like rock chefs stirring their combined talents into a "Rock Stew". Grab a bowl and go back for seconds.\nOne of my goals, thanks to their motivation is to book them with two other amazing CAU bands and put on a show that will shake the walls and blow the socks off everyone in attendance. More on this to follow.\nCheck out some pics from the show. \n\n
