Long overdue! The last time I saw the Lucero boys was the week before Covid shut down the world. The band ran through a quick set while supporting The Menzingers Wednesday at The Underground Fillmore (set list below). Post show I got to briefly catch up with Mr. Brian Venable (guitar). We chatted about vinyl records with my very good friend Sean. I had a 2015 Sailor Jerry 7″ promo of “All Sewn Up” handy.

I have a special affinity for these dudes. I literally got to witness this band form and mold into the cohesive doom unit you see today! Garrett and I were neighbors and close friends. The Cosmic Reaper dudes needed some press photos and a place to practice. Every Wednesday night they set up shop in my photo studio and hammered out the tunes you hear today. Twas’ great to see them live in action at

My one daughter yelled from the storage room “Hey dad, there’s 2 more boxes back here!!” – bringing the total to 8 bins. As I gazed out over the floor covered in shirts my other daughter said “Dad, you look really deep in thought. What are going to do with all of these?” I knew there were a lot but I had not placed my eyes on some of these in a decade. The sad

BJ is no stranger to openly admitting his life’s trials and growth. I’ve had the pleasure of considering him a friend for some time now – and can also closely relate to the transition from Rock N’ Roll Touring Musician to full-time Father. His solo shows are something special. It’s more like “Rock N Roll Story time” with songs. The shows at The Muse are also a bit more intimate. A club that gave American

Last week I took a beach trip down to Wilmington, NC for some riffs and a rig run down with Mr. Adam Tanbouz, lead guitarist of the infamous He Is Legend. Iâm a gear nerd but Adam blew my mind with his meticulous intricacies. Every guitar setup, album recording and live show – years of a man truly perfecting the craft! Most of our conversation centered around overall tone… clean tones with a dash of

David Burke brings his classic New American and modern steakhouse fare to SouthPark. For years, the prominent chef and restaurateurâs desire was to open a restaurant in Charlotte, precisely in the neighborhood where The Fox & Falcon by David Burke is located. The 4,100-square-foot space in Sharon Square was given a facelift after Dogwood closed in August. Dark wood furniture and heavy beams were brightened with lighter paint, ambient lighting, and white tablecloths and chairs.

For all my NY hXc fans⊠I recently acquired Todd Weinstock of GLASSJAWâs 1992 Gibson LP Studio Lite. Duncan EVH bridge HB and Gibson 496R neck + Sperzel locking tuners. Plays and sounds beautiful! Slim neck profile and a weight that wont break you back. “Typical Gibson” headstock repair. It can be seen in the âSiberian Kissâ music video and was used on the âEYEWTKASâ tour. Todd is super amazing – threw in some guitar
