Candlebox 30th Anniv. Tour & Live Acoustic Album Feat. Original Members

Seattle nineties grunge and metal scene is not complete without multi-platinum rock power house Candlebox that marks the 30th Anniversary of their self-titled debut album with a release of a new, live, acoustic album, entitled Live at the Neptune on June 23 via Pavement Entertainment, and a “The Long Goodbye Tour 2023”, which kicks off June 10^th thru September 23 to celebrate band’s three decade career, eight studio and three live album discography, and extensive live performing and touring.

Live at the Neptune was recorded at the Neptune Theatre in Seattle, WA on November 5, 2021 featuring all four original members: Kevin Martin, Peter Klett, Bardi Martin, and Scott Mercado.

This work is very unique because the lineup reunited for one night only to celebrate the 26th anniversary of their iconic album Lucy. The setlist includes hit songs not only from the album Lucy but also from the band’s self-titled debut as well.

Guitarist Peter Klett adds, “I love that we were able to capture such a vibe. It feels as though you’re there with the band.”

The album will be available on all streaming platforms, as well as on vinyl and CD on June 23, 2023.

Exclusive Live Show Review: Bruce Dickinson At The Observatory With Night Demon
in Rock, Prog-Rock, Metal

By John Ivan

I could never say that I used to be a huge Iron Maiden fan, but when I learned that my old-time friend Mistheria, A.K.A. Giuseppe Iampieri, the mastermind behind Vivaldi Metal Project, is playing keyboards with the great Bruce Dickinson on his 2024 tour in support of Bruce’s new album, “The Mandrake Project,” and they will be playing one of their very first shows of the tour at The Observatory in Santa Ana, CA on April 15th, I just couldn’t miss it!

An even bigger surprise hit me when I read that Brian Wilson (Night Demon, Hellwitch, Yngwie Malmsteen), an exceptionally talented drummer, with whom I collaborated on “Never Give Up” feat. Nick Z Marino music video is playing with the Night Demon, a supporting act for Bruce Dickinson on that one and only announced U.S. show!

The global music scene was shattered with Beyoncé’s eighth studio album act ii COWBOY CARTER, a shockingly disruptive and, in the eyes and ears of many, controversial yet perfectly performed and produced masterpiece, which smashed streaming platforms, airwaves, and news outlets on March 29, 2024, following the monumental release of two lead singles, "TEXAS HOLD 'EM" and "16 CARRIAGES" on February 11, Superbowl Sunday.

In this groundbreaking work, Beyoncé embarks on a bold musical journey that transcends genre boundaries, rooted in the rich tradition of country music while pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. With her trademark creativity and fearless approach, Beyoncé delivers an album that pays homage to musical pioneers across genres like Country, Rock, Classical, and Opera, and it celebrates the past while charting a bold new course in Americana culture while valiantly redefining the soundscape of Americana culture.

On August 1st, 2024, the Arete Gallery opened a ravishing exhibition celebrating Jerry Garcia's art. This exhibition brought music and visual art fans into the dynamic creative world of the iconic Grateful Dead frontman. Though Garcia is best known for his extraordinary musical legacy, he was also an accomplished artist, creating a remarkable collection of paintings, drawings, and mixed-media works throughout his life.
