Posted on June 17, 2013 | No CommentsFor more than 30 years, Jerry Joseph has been strapping on a guitar and chasing down truth, understanding and soul with such tenacity and resonant skill that he's marked as a hard charging kindred spirit to Joe Strummer, Warren Zevon and Patti Smith. Backed by his longtime trio The Jackmormons, this latest chapter in Joseph’s long, strange journey flows like glowing quicksilver through the modern psyche. -

Posted on May 20, 2013 | No CommentsIt’s been decades since the Southern California sun first breathed life into the Americana-laced rock of acts like The Byrds, The Eagles, Poco, and Jackson Brown in the late ’60s and ’70s.

That band is Dawes. -

Soul Rebels Brass Band – Oskar Blues – Friday, April 19th
Posted on April 15, 2013 | No CommentsImagine blending the sounds of Mardi Gras funk, soft rock, and reggae so seemingly it defies category.

Along with Denver’s own Strange Americans, The Soul Rebels will help celebrate Marquee Magazine's 10 Year Anniversary Party at Oskar Blues Grill & Brew in Lyons, Colorado!
