Bios and stories about the artists we feature
I quit band once. Junior High band. It was a misunderstanding and I really didn’t quit, but for some reason everyone thought I did. Everybody expected our mean old band director to get someone to quit; it was always the director “who made them quit.” No one had quit since early in the school year, […]
I stood in front of the class and made eye contact with the English teacher. I had a fully strung compound hunting bow in my left hand. The bow was fully equipped with string silencers and a mounted quiver with four broadhead arrows, each sporting razor blade inserts at the ready . I had my […]
It seems that it has been almost a year since we last checked in with Puddles Pity Party. It seems that he will be touring to some selected cities in the US soon. He has recently been to Australia and by the looks of it, he is trying to ride his ‘party’ to the presidency […]
More new music news coming your way – Gary Tanin at Daystorm sent us a copy of Jack Spann’s new CD Time Time Time Time Time – and we can’t wait to share it with you. Gary’s good friend Tony Visconti (David Bowie) recommended he work with Spann and the results are impressive. Visconti and […]
There are some bands that I have avoided over the years, Rammstein being one of them. I only heard a track or two from them in the past and had written them off as a ‘too’ band: too industrial sounding, too repetitious, too German, and just plain too foreign for me to like. More recently, […]

Brianna Lane made a rare second day performance on the Singing Hills stage. While it is not unusual for an artist to appear on both stages over the PMMF weekend, Lane was the first artist I can remember playing the Singing Hills Stage twice. In the top half of the inning (Friday) at the […]
Our two Australian keyboard playing buddies have been putting out some fine music. If you take a little time to check out both Clayton and Lachey’s YouTube entries, you will find some great festival performances. Clayton’s BB King tribute at the Broadbeach Festival features a full band. The top piece video shown here is the […]
If the 11th Annual Porcupine Mountain Music Festival was scored like a baseball game, the box score would read: A lot of runs, hundreds of walks, one error, and no weather delays. Some weather was evident on the radar Friday evening, but the two storms passed north and south of the festival grounds. The […]
Choir! Choir! Choir! This bears more investigation – but a moving tribute in any case.
