G-Note- Thank you for your time Lazer! I know you are currently on tour and on the road as we speak, how are the shows going? LL- Hey! What ‘s going on brother? Thank you, I really appreciate you taking your time to talk to me today.” “We are having such a great time, the crowds are great, and the venues have been incredible, it’s been a great time and that’s wLahzeartLwloyed.hMaPv3e been doing!” G-Note- For those that haven’t discovered Lazer Lloyd yet, what would you say to them, how would you describe yourself? LL-“My father was a musician, not professionally, but he had a lot of Blues, Jazz and Folk music in the house and we would spend our weekends going to Jazz festivals so the whole vibe of all of the music put me on a path.” “When I was young, around 12 or 13, I started playing the guitar. When I was 14, I got to see Stevie Ray Vaughn play live! That really lit my fire! I also got to see Santana play so, that became my style, you know the Blues- Rock style of music.” “I had a showcase at Atlantic Records and was doing some song writing, it was like Bruce Springsteen meets Stevie Ray type of music but I also got into Dylan, Willie Nelson Neil Youngs music, you know before Americana music became ‘Americana’ when I was in Manhattan and that’s the guitar style I was heading towards. I really liked and still do, the Country, Blues, Folk, Bluegrass musical layers and that’s what I ‘ve been doing now for a while.” G-Note- So, you mentioned Neil Young, Dylan, Willie Nelson, who are some of your other musical influences that shaped you? LL- “B.B. King was a major influence on me when I was going to Skidmore College, I was playing a lot of guitar but I remember something I heard B.B. King say that the guys he had in his band, all 17 of them, they all have been together for years and years. His secret to keeping the same guys together was he used to do was not go to the clubs and listen to them play, he went to go meet them, have a drink with them and talk to them and if he was a good guy, he could make them a good musician.” “That really sparked something inside of me as I go on this musical journey, which really is a spiritual journey of what my inside is saying, as I continue to figure out my spirituality and putting that into my music. Fast forward 25 years, I was in Israel and living at my home base along with all the touring over 25 years had an influence on me. My first Lazer Lloyd album was called ‘Higher Ground’ in 2004, which is a lot of what I do today, a good dose of Folk- Rock-Blues and Americana.” “About 6 years ago, I met my manager ‘Yo’ in Chicago and have been touring all over the world and really got me going. We produced 6 records together and just been nonstop touring and things have been going really, really well!” G-Note- That’s a lot, what I find very interesting is the B.B. King statement. LL- “Yeah, it really had an impact on me because I was just practicing the guitar because I really want to be a great musician, but it spoke to me on his approach with musicians, you know?” G-Note-Lazer, as I’m talking and listening to you, I’m amazed by your depth, personally, musically and spiritually and the wide range of genres you appeal to. You’re not just a Folk musician, or just a Bluegrass or a Blues guy. LL- “Thank you! I appreciate that, it’s not really any part of any business plan! It’s who I am. All of that is not always easy to market you know. I just decided that I have to do what I love; I don’t want to do a full show of…. Rock or Blues or Folk, I like to mix it up, that’s just my personality and it seems like a lot of people like it too.” G-Note- That seem to be working out ok for you. LL” Yeah, I don’t have to be rich, I just have to be happy and hope the music give people the vitamins they need to deal with what every they are going through!” G-Note- what is the musical scene in Israel? LL- “Obviously, I’m a small fish in a big pond when it comes to this style of music and not a lot of people doing what I was d6oi|nPg.aFugneny, the music was mostly in Hebrew back then, what was interesting was there were a lot of Russians that rweawllywl.ikGe-dNtoheteoEldn-vtienrtatgaeinclmasesnictr.obcikzthat I was doing but it’s really [email protected]

“Remember that Israel is the size of New Jersey, you will never get the big crowds or be the big thing over there, but they are great fans of everything, Blues, Rock & Roll and even the music that I perform….It’s wide open. It’s great and it’s opened my horizon too.” G-Note- Can you tell me a little about the ‘business’ of being Lazer Lloyd? LL- “Well, it’s a blessing and a curse, right now we cam play pretty much anywhere in the country, and parts of Canada and we’ll get a pretty consistent number of core of people to a show but now the focus is more of a ‘regional’ name and music recognition, you eventually build some roots and have your fans to come back to see you and other venues with a hopefully larger crowd.” Be sure to catch Lazer Lloyd on the road and check out all things Lazer Lloyd at: www.LazerLloyd.live @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine 7 | Page www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

Florida Power Metal act SEVEN KINGDOMS have dropped a new video for their cover of 'Barracuda' by Heart. This song and video were shot and recorded during the Recording Sessions of their Upcoming release, 'Empty Eyes'. 'Empty Eyes' Track Listing: 1. Empty Eyes 2. Monster 3. The Water Dance 4. Valonqar 5. Barracuda (Cover) Cover Artwork by Bo Bradshaw 'Empty Eyes' was recorded with Jim Morris (Iced Earth, Savatage, Death) at Morrisound Recording. SEVEN KINGDOMS mixed the album at Morrisound Recording and it was mastered by Jacob Hansen (Avantasia, Evergrey, Volbeat). The CD pressing will be limited to 400 copies with Vinyl limited to 250. Each album and vinyl will be hand numbered, signed and feature the 'Edition 1' labeling on the back. The band will handle the Digital aspect of the release as well. Perks start shipping in October along with the Release Date. Vinyl start shipping in December due to manufacturing time. Commented SEVEN KINGDOMS guitarist Camden Cruz: \"We are really stoked to get this next release out there. We decided to release this independently this time because it was the only way to raise enough capital to start off in the same position that we did after the 'Decennium' Cycle. Using Crowdfunding to help finance startup expenses for an Album Cycle is still a much larger help for a band our size currently. It also gives us the opportunity to have our fans be a much closer part of the upcoming releases, vs, just handing it off to a third party and doing it the traditional way. We are very happy with this new material and consider this our best material to date. There are a lot of different sounds for us on this, and we aim to bring more content than ever before with the way our Campaign and Album Cycle are structured. We will have a slew of new stuff available on the Crowdfunding Campaign and hope that all of you will join us again, in showing how powerful a direct, band-to-fan relationship can be! Please snag your Pre-Orders on the Kickstarter Campaign starting August 13th!\" www.facebook.com/sevenkingdomsofficial Follow the Band on Instagram: @sevenkingdomsofficial Subscribe to Seven Kingdoms on Youtube: @sevenkingdoms1 11 | P a g e @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

ENCORE Interview: Kate Grom G-Note’s ENCORE Interview Thankfully, this fateful time fortified her love of music and Kate’s belief in her talents. Her aesthetic encompasses this edition is Kate Grom Americana traditions such as folk, bluegrass, and country, as well as the reflective and literate traditions of contemporary Kate was the featured interview and and classic singer-songwriters. Her influences include Stevie cover in the 8th edition (March 2018) Nicks, Loretta Lynn, Bob Dylan, America, Patsy Cline, Emmylou Harris, Simon & Garfunkel, and Gillian Welch, Two years ago, singer-songwriter Kate Grom was torn among others. Core to her music is a personal approach to between practicality and being her true self. She had lyric writing with broadly resonate messages, and a graduated college after a transformative time finding musicality that reflects the rural beauty of her time growing her authentic musical voice and was pursuing her up on her parent’s farm in Frenchtown, New Jersey, a quaint dreams in New York. But in her soul, there was a artist town bordering the Delaware River. restlessness she couldn’t ignore—she had to break out of her comfort zone to fuel her vision. Back on her parent’s farm, Kate spent a lot of time locked inside her own imagination, making up stories amidst To bravely face an uncertain future, the young artist bucolic surroundings. She explored music in performance went to France where she knew no one. Alone with a and application through church choir, chamber choir, and rented acoustic guitar, she faced her fears and women’s choir, and later studied formally at Belmont embraced her musical gifts. Kate now comes forth University in Nashville. with the aptly titled, Heroine, produced by two-time Grammy Award winning producer Stewart Lerman. It Kate’s artistic tra@jeGctNoroytgerEewntoergrataniicnamllyefnrotmMaagsearzieins eof is a poetic and boldly vulnerable singer-songwriter almost random epiphanies. album that conjures the elegance of the American countryside. Stewart Lerman, has worked with Willie Nelson, Sharon Van Etten, Elvis Costello, Neko Case, Patti Smith, Antony and the Johnsons, produced Heroine at Hobo Sound. The musicians playing on the record are world-class players who have worked with such venerated artists Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, My Morning Jacket, Brandi Carlile, Lana Del Ray, and the Eagles, among others. “That was a challenging time,” says the New York City-based artist, recalling her getaway. “I felt worn down. I thought, maybe spending time alone and away with the guitar would help me fall in love with music, and it did. That was the moment where I decid1e2d|tPo daegfinee music in my life as my only career focusw.”w w . G - N o t e E n t e r t a i n m e n t . b i z

A treasure of classic rock records hidden in the attic of her house became an object of intense fascination for the teenaged Kate. Her uncle—a ride or die Harley man who attended Woodstock—stoked the fire with his own eccentric lifestyle and knowledge of prime 1960s and 1970s rock n’ roll. On her own she explored rootsy artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Emmylou Harris, and the band America. And, later, while at Belmont, Kate soaked up the pure folk, country, and bluegrass wafting forth from the air of Music City. Heroine is both rustic and refined, replete with lonesome pedal steel guitar, moony atmospherics, and back porch Americana. The songs simmer with slow burn dynamics, understated grooves, and soaring hooks. Throughout the album, Kate’s vocals exhibit a fragile power—they’re filled with longing, soaring emotionality, and a quaint soulful melancholy that’s both stirring and comforting. The album’s leadoff single “The Storm” is intimately spare and emotionally immediate. Kate’s vocals have a spectral sorrowfulness. Here, it’s as if she’s beamed from the aftermath of painful breakup and recounting the ill-fated tail. “That song is about being hopelessly in love with someone but coming to your senses after a huge blowout and just being done,” she reveals. There is a weary beauty surrounding the album’s title track. The song’s sweet melancholy coats your soul like medicine for broken heart. Kate adds some playfulness to the album with the country ballad “Whiskey Eyes.” On this song, big brown beautiful eyes sweep a lover away because they remind her of whiskey. Up next, Kate will begin gigging to support her LP and to embrace this new era as an assured artist. “It’s been a very long journey to make this record,” reflects Kate. “There have been a lot of ups and downs, but I’ve learned to be patient and to persevere. Now, I’m ready to run out of the gate with this album.” *Material taken from kategrom.com G-Note Entertainment Magazine spent some time talking to Kate Grom about her music, her dreams and what is next for her in her musical journey. G-Note- I always wonder in talking with musical artists, why did you get into this crazy business of music? K.G.- “Well, that’s a great question, I never really had imagined that I could take my career as far as I have up to this point. I had a dream of putting out a record and make music as my full-time career. There was a series of events and opportunities to make music and has allowed me to live my dream, I’ll be the first to tell you, I have been very lucky and grateful to be able to go down this road, even when it has been difficult at times.” G-Note – So Kate, what is your story in becoming a musical artist? K.G.- “I have been doing this for a while but imagine me as a young girl growing up on a farm in a rural countryside of New Jersey. I had time to be left with my imagination in reading a book or in storytelling, that has always been a big part of my life growing up and is still a big part of my song writing process.” “I was always singing, and my parents allowed me to take piano and voice lessons. They really encouraged me as a young musician, that is what I loved the most. From then I went on to be involved in church and school choirs, women chamber, whatever I could get my hands on. I even did a high school musical, but I have to tell you, I really had a bad case of stage fright back then, but that was a great experience.” “From there, I went on the be a music major at Meridian Music College in Pennsylvania for a year where I studies sacred Latin and classical music. But I really learned a lot from the chamber music experiences, the vocal arrangements and harmonies, the technical and serious side of writing and execution of a piece of music. I transferred out of Meridian College, so I could focus on writing music that would connect directly with today, not necessarily connect with people centuries ago.” “From there, I moved to Nashville Tennessee, where I could observe the sounds of music city, going to shows watching different bands play and hung out at record stores. That was a very big part of who I am today. From Nashville, I moved to New York City which has been the newest phase in my life where I am chasing my dream and recording my music, 13 | P a g e that’s when I got hooked up musically with Stewart Lerman.” @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

G-Note- Wow Kate, right out of the gate, you made some big-time connections in the industry when you met up with Stewart Lerman. K.G.- “Yeah, our connection came serendipitously, I had been working with a manager for about a year at that time and he had recommended a bunch of different producers to me when I was thinking about recording my record and I had mentioned to him that boy, it would be great to work with someone like Stewart Lerman. He came back and said, no, no, no, don’t even think about someone like Stewart, he’s too far out of your league, don’t bother reaching out to him, you’re too new in the business, just let it go.” “In the music business, especially after you have been in it for a few years, you learn not to take ‘No’ for an answer. I reached out to him anyway and sent him my music demos for this review. I really didn’t expect to hear anything back from him, but I figured ‘why not try’. About a week later I received a phone call from a phone number that I didn’t know or recognize and on the other end of the line I hear, ‘Hi Kate, this is Stewart.’ After I made sure it was him, I was like, “Oh hi, thank ‘s for calling me, and he said, thank you for sending me your demos, I really love it and let’s make a record, I was freaking out. I am so thankful and still amazed that that happened!” G-Note-Let’s talk about that album ‘Heroine’, Where did you get that title from, is that your story from what you have gone through being in the music business? K.G.- “Sure, the title came about from writer and filmmaker, Nora Ephron’s and a quote of hers that goes ‘Above all, be the heroine of your own life, not the victim.’ I really had a strong connection with that quote and was deeply inspired by her. Like a lot of other artists, I was having a tough time in New York, I waited tables and did what I had to do to sustain and survive. I was so exhausted, the balance was difficult at times, so that quote, really did give me clarity on the path I decided to take, along with the support of my families and friends. Really, that quote so important to me, that I really wanted to try inspire others as well.” G-Note- How do you think of your songs, your style of music? K.G.- “That’s a good question, I do get asked that a lot, it’s hard to put it into a box. There are a lot of different inspirations that is in the music that I write, some Americana, some Roots music, as well as Folk and a little bit of Country. I grew up listening to Folk and thanks to my Uncle that attended Woodstock, in addition to the music that my dad listened to, it’s all a part of me and by extension, my music.” G-Note – To be honest with your music and the songs that you write, do you have to go through heartbreak and low points in your life to tell your story with integrity? K.G.- “Good question, you know, it really depends on the artist. Of course, we all go through low points in our lives and unexpected sorrow and some heartbreak along the way, it’s hard not to let some of escape into the creative process. It isn’t anything that is really planned but if you can share an experience or inspire someone with your music, that’s a good day! When you hear a positive story from someone that connected with your songs and it made their life a little better or gave them strength to deal with whatever the problem is at the time in their life, what else can you ask for?” For more information on Kate Grom and her album, ‘Heroine’ as well as news and touring information go to www.kategrom.com. 14 | P a g e @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

Artist Spotlight: Harper & Midwest Kind Award-winning Australian singer/songwriter Peter D. Harper -- known in the music world simply as \"Harper\" -- creates a heady mix of roots music through his creative use of the harmonica and the haunting drone of the didgeridoo. Harper’s latest CD, “Show Your Love,” features 11 original road- tested tracks recorded with his well-traveled Detroit-based touring band “Midwest Kind.” \"Show Your Love\" hit # 3 on Billboard, USA and remained in the Top Ten for an incredible six months! Harper possesses a powerful soulful voice and a deep, almost mystical approach to music that some might say has evolved into its own genre. Harper calls it “World Blues” -- a rich musical stew of ‘50s rhythm and blues, a ‘60s message of love and unity, and ‘70s funky soul, stirred up with masterful, virtuoso harmonica and the deep, woody, percussive tones of the 16 | P a g e didgeridoo, served up in a feast of timeless mystery. www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine

An amalgamation of blues, soul and world music, multi award winning Australian singer/ songwriter \"Peter D. Harper\" creates a heady mix of roots music through his creative use of the harmonica, and the haunting drone of the didgeridoo. By combining traditional and modern influences, borrowing from Western and World music, Harper has created a highly original take on the roots genre which many have labeled \"World Blues\". Harper has received an amazing 14 x Music Awards in four different countries. His innovative use of electronic enhancement and feedback, breaks the traditional boundaries of the harmonica, giving his music its distinctive harmonics and effects. The powerful guitar sounds, and the unique drone of the didgeridoo create raw yet eerie sonic textures, somehow sounding primal and contemporary at the same time. Harper is backed by his very talented Detroit based band \"Midwest Kind\" Featuring Elijah Russ on Guitar, James Norris on Bass Guitar and Dee Washington on Drums. Born in the United Kingdom, Harper's musical journey began early, performing in brass bands playing the trumpet and euphonium. At the age of ten, his family moved halfway round the world to Perth, Western Australia, and his Grandfather introduced Harper to the harp. In Perth, one of the most isolated cities in the world, there was a thriving blues and folk scene. The blues had a rawness, an honesty and a passion of the soul which spoke to Harper deeply. Then, like every blues lover, Harper began his journey backwards to discover the deeper roots of the music. \"I think Muddy Waters really hit me hard. There was something incredibly special about his sound, his powerful voice and his songs. I would sing his songs constantly. I also really dug Sonny Boy Williamson II as well. I loved his rhythmic use of his harp. I was also inspired by a wide range of players and styles like Little Walter, Sugar Blue and Stevie Wonder who guide me in my harmonica playing. \"But Harper did not stop his search with the blues. It was a chance meeting with a Hopi \"Dan Running Bear\" in Silverton, Colorado, that led him down the path to rediscovering the music of his homeland. Fascinated with the spirituality and culture of the American Natives, he found the same qualities present in the Australian Aborigines of his homeland. On adding the native didgeridoo to his music, Harper says \"It is a sound I grew up with, so it seemed natural to add it to my songwriting particularly when the lyrics related to the plight of the Aborigines in Australia. When I added the didgeridoo to the more traditional blues instruments, it worked. The deep woody qualities and its haunting drone seemed to enhance the emotional quality of my stories. The didgeridoo is a spiritual and healing instrument, and it seemed blues music accepted it with open arms. I also owe my life to a tribe of nomadic Australian Natives who saved my father and I from starvation when we were trapped at The Fitzroy Crossing (Western Australia), in between two fast flowing river torrents. They gave us enough food and water to last us until the flood had subsided. I feel my music is my way of giving back to these wonderful people\". Prior to his introduction to American audiences, Harper released six CDs to great acclaim in his homeland of Australia. Harper received a Gold Record for \"Sailing Australia\" (America's Cup Theme). Harper had the honor of backing Blues Legend \"Muddy Waters\" on harmonica for his West Australian tour. In 1994 he moved to Melbourne, Victoria and released his first album, \"Tears of Ice\"(New Market). This was followed by \"Yesterday Is Over\" in 1996 with his band Blue Devil and \"Live At The Soup Kitchen\" (recorded in Detroit) in 1997 as a soloist. In 2000, he released \"Glass on The Stepping Stone\" and \"Live At St. Andrew's\" in 2002. In 2003 he released \"Way Down Deep Inside\", for which he received two harmonica awards and Album of the Year honor from US Magazine's \"Guide to the Best of the Blues Harmonicas & Beyond\" USA. Over the years Harper has received multiple Australian Blues Awards for Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Acoustic Artist of the Year. (TREV). Harper was also invited to perform at a Royal Gala Performance for the Queen of England in Perth, Western Australia. His prolific recording career and memorable stage performances allowed Harper to take his music beyond Australia. He's played in the USA, Canada, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Italy, Belgium and France. He first started performing in the United States in 1996 and has toured regularly since. It was on one of these tours that he caught the attention of Blind Pig Records, which made him their first international signing. With a home at a U.S. label and growing appreciation for his music from American audiences, Harper made the permanent move to the U.S. His animated shows have been well received at blues festivals, world music festivals, and by fans of jam band music. Harper has become a huge favorite on the worldwide festival scene with an average of 20 to 30 festivals and 200 club dates per year. He was also invited to perform harmonica on stage several times with US super group- \"Journey\". 17 | P a g e @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

New Music Alert: Billy Branch & The Sons Of Blues BILLY BRANCH & THE SONS OF BLUES' NEW ALBUM, ROOTS AND BRANCHES--THE SONGS OF LITTLE WALTER, RELEASED ON JULY 5 Alligator Records has been released on July 5 Roots And Branches–The Songs Of Little Walter, the blistering and dynamic new release from Billy Branch & The Sons Of Blues. The album finds Branch and the band boldly reimagining the renowned songs of Little Walter Jacobs. Jacobs was one of the principal architects of the Chicago blues sound and one of the most influential blues harmonica players who ever lived. According to Branch, “We were determined not to make this a “typical” Little Walter tribute recording. We are proud to present an album with elements of soul, funk, and even a little bit of gospel. Our goal was to competently and respectfully produce a Little Walter-themed recording with a different twist, while preserving the integrity of Little Walter’s innovative style.” Roots And Branches, recorded in Chicago and co-produced by Billy Branch, Rosa Branch and longtime Sons Of Blues pianist Sumito “Ariyo” Ariyoshi, features 15 songs written by and or made famous by Little Walter. Each song is played with equal amounts of Branch’s deeply rooted reverence and up-to-the-minute innovation. The music is as timeless in Branch’s and The Sons Of Blues’ interpretations as in Walter’s feral originals. Along with Branch and Ariyoshi, the band features guitarist Giles Corey, bassist Marvin Little and drummer Andrew “Blaze” Thomas. At the end of the album, Little Walter’s daughter, Marion Diaz, shares a few anecdotes of life with her legendary father. Blues giant Billy Branch is among today’s greatest harmonica players. With his inventive, deeply rooted playing and gritty, soulful vocals, Branch carries on the Chicago blues tradition that he learned first-hand from icons including Big Walter Horton, James Cotton, Junior Wells, Carey Bell, Willie Dixon and many others. His famous teachers made it clear to anyone who would listen that Branch was the heir apparent to the Chicago blues harmonica throne. With his instantly recognizable sound and his band, The Sons Of Blues, Branch has traveled the world, creating his signature brand of Chicago blues for over four decades. With a huge blues vocabulary and dynamic versatility, Branch incorporates soul, funk and rock elements to his playing. His upper register licks and his emotional, melodic ballad playing define his sound even further. He is a gruff and potent vocalist, a groundbreaking solo artist, an in-demand session player and consummate band leader. He is a three-time Grammy nominee, a three-time Blues Music Award winner, a two-time Keeping The Blues20Al|ivPeaAgweard winner (for Education) and a two-time Living Blues Critics’ Award winner.

** Interview: Bassist & Record Producer Fabrizio Grossi Fabrizio ‘Fab” Grossi was G-Note’s featured interview and cover of the 6th edition (Jan 2018) Occasionally, someone comes along in a band and you meet them and say hello, enjoy their performance and you don’t think so much about them after that after they leave the venue. Not the case with bass player, arraigner, record producer Fabrizio Grossi. I had the pleasure to meet Fabrizio before he and his band mates from Super Sonic Blues Machine (Guitarist Lance Lopez and drummer Stephen Perkins from Janes Addiction subbing for Kenny Arnoff) at the Kalamazoo Valley Blues Associations Blues festival. (Past event) When he was done performing, he came into the as a launching pad for a series of very lucky collaborations production office where he came in and thanked us that resulted with his bass plucking landing on tracks (KVBA’s Dennis Massingill, Jeff Mitchell and myself) for the featuring Journey founding member and guitarist, Neal great opportunity to play the festival, we had a chance to Schon, ToTo’s Steve Lukather, Guns and Roses guitarist, talk for a bit about music and some of his incredible Slash, Blues guitarist Eric Gales to name a few in addition experiences as a musician, record producer and music to popular mainstream acts such as, George Clinton, Ice T, arraigner. Cypress Hill, Glenn Hughes, Alice Cooper, Billy F. Gibbons, Leslie West. Since then, Fabrizio (‘Fab’ to his friends) and I have kept in contact and I recently reached out to Fab for an interview G-Note: As I recall, when you played in Kalamazoo for G-Note Entertainment Magazine. recently at the Kalamazoo Blues Festival, it was the 1st festival ‘Super Sonic Blues Machine’ played as a group at a Let me take a minute to introduce you to ‘Fab,’ Fabrizio Blues festival here in the USA? Grossi is an Italian-American producer/mixer and music consultant. Musically broken in the New York City scene of FG- “You are correct sir, we all made history that night! I the early 90’s, he started his career as the U.S. representative, developer and A&R associate for several must tell you; we love Kalamazoo! It was a very, very European and Latin American record and entertainment companies, such as East/West-Warner Italy, Self-Spa, interesting show. By nature, we are a jam-band and we Frontiers Records, Edel, EMI Italy and Silverlight Records USA/Mexico. like to keep it fresh and you won’t see the exact same As the first Italian born bass player to successfully enter show twice, between the special guests that we rotate in the international rock scene, he was officially introduced tvoirttuhoesmo aSst@eseGvseNbVyoaitp.euHEnekntihtceeornntuNasiienndamHtheaengsetenMeaxanpgdearbzieyinngcueeista, r and out and the jam elements of it are always changing that too helps to keep it fresh, not only fo2r 1th|ePfaansgbeut for us as well.” www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

G-Note: Let’s talk a minute about the rotating artists that you bring in for your shows. FG- “Absolutely, we bring into our core power trio of band members, incredible guitarist on their own are ‘Super-stars’. Guys like Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Eric Gales, Robben Ford, Walter Trout just to name a few. As you recall, Robben was with us when we were in Kalamazoo, he is like a ‘chameleon’ on the guitar, what I mean is that he molds himself into the guitar and the situation that he is playing in. It’s hard to describe it, you really must see it to understand it. “ “Playing Kalamazoo was more of a California jam on feeling to it that night, we also had as you may remember, Stephen Perkins from Janes Addition on drums because out regular drummer, Kenny Arnoff was doing a project with Sammy Hagar, Stephen was rocking it hard keeping the beat, I think he broke a half a dozen drum sticks that night because he was playing so hard.” “Like the night before the Blues festival in Kalamazoo, we were playing at Callahan’s in Auburn Hills Mi. the night before and that show was more of a traditional ‘Blues -Rock’ show which was great and the crowd loved it but in Kalamazoo just a night later, it was an incredible night of music and love from the fans, it was like a ‘hippie-fest’ you know, the audience was really, really, really into it! I had a lot of great feedback from social media and emails commenting on the show. It had the feel of the “Woodstock – Summer of Love” feel to it, that night could have not gone any better, and a fantastic memory for all of in the band of Kalamazoo Mi. Very cool!” G-Note: Well, that you for your kind words of the fans in and around Kalamazoo area! One thing you can say about them, they are loyal, and they do their best to go out and support ‘Live Music’. FG- “That’s great! Not too many cities or towns can say that these days. From the people I met there, they seemed to be passionate and really gave us their energy and we gave it back to them.” G-Note: Let’s talk a bit about the DNA of Super Sonic Blues Machine, it's not like you are kids just starting out in the industry. FG-” Well, actually the whole thing is it started off with Kenny (Arnoff) and I a little over six years or so ago. We did some work with Steve Lukather of ToTo along with Steve Weingart who by the way is a hell of a keyboard player along with a few other artists, working on a side project called “Goodfella's.” We had some some musical collaboration together and we went to Europe to play some shows on a mini tour and we really enjoyed what we were playing. We were music from Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix and James Gang songs and some of Steve Luthaker's solo material and it was very satisfying and a lot of fun, so Kenny and I asked each other, how do we continue to do this after we finish this project because we had a very good connection.” “Steve Luthaker was ready to do a solo album so he was going to be busy with that so Kenny and I did a lot of talking to each other about the need to find someone that can join in and about the same time, I got a call from another friend of ours, Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) we had at that time, I was working with Texas guitarist, Lance Lopez at that time on his solo record and between him and his manager we had a very good musical understanding of each other and we ended up recording songs that I had written, and songs written by Billy, how about doing something together? Something where everyone can bring their own songs and keep it fresh and fun.” “Let's not only do our songs, let's do the songs that we like and still listen to and sometimes have 2 drummers like the Allman Brothers or maybe have a bunch of guitarists, we have kind of like a Rolling Stones approach to it, because we really don't rehearse in the way a traditional band or production back would be like, the only thing we worry about is when do we start and when do we end, other than that...Good luck! So, there you have it!” (Chuckling) G-Note: Fab, you’ve worked with a lot of great and well-known and well-respected musicians within a variety of genres over the years. Of all the musicians you have worked with, who has been your favorite to work with and why? 22 | P a g e www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine

F.G. “First of all, I’m extremely thankful and grateful to be able to work with all the artists I have over all the years, and will always do whether they are young or very established, it allows me to make a living doing what I love the best and there’s not much better in life than that!” “There is always something to learn from working with anybody, so I don’t dismiss a young band from someone like the incredible guitarist, Steve Luthaker from Toto, because sometimes you’re picking up tricks and solutions that you would never have thought of. All my buddies in SuperSonic Blues Machine, (Kenny Aronoff, Lance Lopez and very special guests, Billy Gibbons, Robben Ford, Eric Gales) who are amazing musicians, super friends, they all give me something which goes beyond the actual recording of the music. “ “The people I got the most out of recording, must be, the guy I call my ‘Godfather,’ Mr. Steve Vai. I call him the musicians guide to the musician’s encyclopedia! Steve appreciates what I do even though it’s different to how he would do some of the same things, which is great. A few years ago, I was traveling with Steve because I was co- producing his tour and his record with a Romanian orchestra.” “We were on the plane and talking about the new record and mixes and such, when Steve leaned over and handed me his iPod to listen to some of the music already done and I was like ‘Wow, this sounds great’ and Steve replied ‘Yeah, well it should as I used your work!” “He started asking me what I did and what I used in production and I was like ‘Ah come on man!’ as he uses all top of the line gear and I’m using basic Pro Tools, my custom goodies, and a don’t even own half of his gear that he uses in playing and recording! I learnt a lot about the mental and spiritual approach from Steve more than the actual technical side of things which is cool.” “I gave up working with any artist that needs to have their vocal totally autotuned and drums completely re-aligned if that’s your level, you have no place in music and you should be on the Kardashian TV show if you want to be famous for doing nothing and having no talent.” Be sure to check out the latest from Super Sonic Blues Machine ‘Right Now’ @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine 23 | P a g e www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

Dr. Scary -” The NAMM show is like the Auto-Rama show, but this is strictly for the music industry and I get to play at the booths of the companies that sponsor me like “Lizard Spit guitar polish and Black Diamond guitar strings.” “It was great because you get to meet a lot of very cool people and rub elbows with some well-known 'Rock Stars' like the legendary bass guitarist, Rudy Sarzo from Quiet Riot, Whitesnake and Dio. Don't get me wrong, it's very cool but it is a lot of work too because you are always on your feet.” “But I did really like the after show parties at the places like the legendary Whiskey -A- Go Go and House of Blues if you wanted to drive to L.A. for that and they had some after show parties right next to the convention within walking distance, all in all it was a great time.” G-Note – Let's back up a minute, how did you get the nickname “Dr. Scary?” Dr. Scary- (Chuckling) “Well, I've had that nickname since 1988 and that's what most people know me by and here's the story behind it. I was playing in a band called D-Day, and me and a buddy was on our way somewhere and my buddy Jimmy had this blonde girlfriend with big hair and everything and we're all cruising in this Trans-Am down the road and she makes this statement that 'when you play, your fingers move so fast that you scare me'. I'm a shredder, and Jimmy looks at me and I see the light bulb go off over his head and he says 'we're going to call you Doc, Doctor Scary' and back then D-Day was a popular band in Southwest Michigan, they played some bars but mostly outdoor shows and parties drawing typically 500-800 people to a show before I played with them, so the name stuck and that's what everyone calls me now.” “When we were getting our stage names for HairMania I told them, don't need one, already have one. Come to find out there are a few other Doc Scary's out there as well, like Docta Scary, and there was an older dude – punk rock guy from California that builds amps and guitar pedals. I met him on the old Myspace years ago.” G-Note – From what I have been able to uncover about you, you have played in a lot of tribute bands, let's talk about that for a few minutes. Dr. Scary -“ Yeah back in the 80's and 90's you could actually make a living traveling around from town to town but not so much today, one of the bands I was in was called Mr. Crowley, a Ozzy tribute band because I'm a big Randy Rhodes freak, that also got me my first endorsement with a guitar sting company. “ “In the mid 2000's I started to record with my original music with Myspace back when that was the thing, this guitar pickup company out of New Jersey found me and I have been with me now for the last 12 -13 years, they treat me well.” “Then I was in the band 'Slap Maggy” who is actually my ex-sister in law. We were sponsored by Jägermeister and we had a 5-year deal with them at the time. We played in Wisconsin, Ohio and all over Michigan, some of the guys in Black Sea Burial were in that band.” G-Note- Let's talk about what you are now and the bands you are currently with. 27 | P a g e @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

Dr. Scary -” Black Sea Burial like I mentioned I've known for a long time and we rarely if ever, rehearse. We all know each other so long that we are very comfortable with each other and the songs. Black Sea Burial is a three-piece group that plays everything from George Jones to Pantera.” “HairMania has a huge catalog of songs that we can play, we did a lot of practicing when we first got together and our first show was for Toys for Tots in Grand Rapids, Mi. and it kind of exploded from there. We had opened up for Skid Row, Dennis DeYoung from STYX, and several others, it's a lot of fun when the audience dresses up in their 90's get up and play the part right along with us.” 'We just got a new drummer, and our first show together will be at Shakespeare's Lower Level on Feb. 17th, so we are all pretty excited to roll out the new line up.” G-Note- What do you like better, cover songs or instrumentals? Dr. Scary -” I love covers but I really love instrumentals, because of guys like Yngwie Malmsteen, Jason Becker. I really enjoy playing what it is that I hear in the head and in my heart.” “I sometimes hear something like my instrumental, “Fingers Of Flight” and that's the riffs or rhythm that gets stuck in my head and I have to let it out and it seems that a lot of people like that song, I had 10 thousands hits on that song on Myspace.” G-Note- Do you ever get the chance to play your original songs during the shows? Dr. Scary -” No, it really doesn't fit the show with the bands that I'm in, but I have been asked on occasion to do it. But it's not all about me or me wanting to show off, so I just play the show as we do.” G-Note- Since you do all the classic rock songs from the 'hey day' that featured the front men, where are they all at? Dr. Scary -” You know there are still a few of them out there, but you're right. It's like the guys like David Lee Roth, David Coverdale and Bret Michaels have all gone away, that's why we do what we do, we're all a bit of ham on stage.” G-Note– What would be the 1 thing that people would be surprised to know about you? Dr. Scary - “The thing that surprise people about me would be that by trade I am a welder and fabricator, I build things. You always have to have a backup plan...just in case!” 28 | P a g e @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

Supporting Our Community About the Paw Paw Village Players In 1969, a group of 16 people with a love of theater and a desire to entertain got together to form a theater company that has endured and prospered for over 45 years. The original group including such locals as Charley and Mary Burkett, Bob Bennett, Patsy Sunstrand, Felix Racette, Judy and Ron Schincariol and Dave and Jan Wilder received permission from the Community Schools Program to produce plays at the old Michigan Ave School which is now the Freshwater Community Church. Receiving the money to pay for the play’s royalties, this small group performed “The Silver Whistle” as their first endeavor. With a positive response from the community for local theater and good, clean fun, the group was off and running. Although over 45 years have passed, this non-profit community theater group continues to evolve and grow with new talent and some old-time wisdom provided by founding members. Plans for fresh and exciting plays are foremost on the agenda for the current Board of Directors. As every new season presents a new schedule of plays, the group effort involved in each production is a work of art. PAW PAW VILLAGE PLAYERS 600 E. MICHIGAN AVENUE Mail: P.O.

New Music Alert: Oh Hiroshima Swedish Post-Rockers OH HIROSHIMA Reveal Album Details on ‘Oscillation’ Post- rockers Oh Hiroshima have been working four long years on their third studio album – four intense years that have been worth the wait as it blossomed into the band's most epic record to date, \"Oscillation\". In 2019 the Swedes still impress with an abstract guitar work, dreamlike vocals as well as a hint of Electronica, and this time around none other than Magnus Lindberg (Cult Of Luna) delivered the final layer in shape of mastering duties. The seven new soundscapes receive their dynamics from soaring guitars and rather dense song structures: The result is an album like a beautiful fever dream that holds the listener enthralled for a long, long time. Today, Oh Hiroshima are not only revealing the album artwork, pre-order and tracklist for \"Oscillation,\" but also sharing with us a first and official video clip!

Robben’s was invited to play guitar on the tour and played on first chosen instrument was the saxophone, which he began two recordings with Mitchell and The L.A. Express. to play at age ten and continued to play into his early “The two years I spent with Joni were the most twenties. He began to teach himself guitar at age thirteen formative of my musical life. Joni was just brilliant and upon hearing the two guitarists from The Paul Butterfield very accessible, and the members of The L.A. Express Blues Band, Michael Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop. In the late became good friends and teachers. It was great.” 1960’s, Ford frequented the Fillmore and Winterland auditoriums in San Francisco to see Jimi Hendrix, Eric Beatle George Harrison invited Robben to join him on Clapt3o2n,| CPreaamg e, Led Zeppelin, Albert King, B.B.

Shortly after the two- month stint with Harrison, Robben moved to Colorado to take a much-needed break from music and to study with Buddhist teacher, Chogyam Trungpa. In 1977, he was approached by Elektra Records, which produced his first solo recording, The Inside Story, with a group of musicians who went on to become the Yellowjackets. Elektra closed their doors in the early 1980’s, leading to a time of uncertainty. Robben moved to San Francisco to be close to family and his early musical history. Soon his career would take another upward swing, recording and touring with Michael McDonald, securing a recording contract with Warner Brothers Records, and meeting his soon-to-be wife, actress Anne Kerry. Subsequently, they would collaborate on 3 albums on their own label, Illyria, most notably, Weill, recorded live with the West German Radio Big Band at the@CGoNloognteeEPhnitlhearrtmaoinnmic Henaltl.Magazine

After moving to New York, Robben was invited to play with musical icon Miles Davis. “Producer Tommy LiPuma played Miles my work with the Yellowjackets, then three days later Miles called me personally to join his band. Shocking!” recalls Robben. He lamented having to leave Miles after only six months because of recording commitments with Warner Brothers but was told by Miles that if he ever wanted to come back, “just come back.” Robben’s 1988 release for Warner Brothers, Talk to Your Daughter, brought his first Grammy nomination (Best Contemporary Blues Recording), and he started touring the world under his own name. Still based in New York, he backed David Sanborn on the television show “Night Music,” on which Sanborn hosted a variety of musical acts. Robben toured with him in 1990, then moved back to southern California shortly thereafter to be closer to his own band. After leaving Warner Brothers, Robben signed with Stretch/GRP Records, where he finally found a real home for his creativity, recording three CDs for them with his band,The Blue Line (Tom Brechtlein on drums and Roscoe Beck on bass). After a very fruitful eight years, Robben disbanded the group and recorded two more CDs for the label which had then become Stretch/Blue Thumb: Tiger Walk, an instrumental recording produced in New York with Keith Richard’s rhythm section, and Supernatural, his most accomplished work up to that point as a songwriter. In 2000, Robben was invited to tour with Phil Lesh and Friends on a co-bill with Bob Dylan, reuniting him with Billy Paine and Paul Barrere of Little Feat, as well as drummer John Molo. “This experience gave me new respect for Jerry Garcia as a musician and songwriter. The songs and musical context were pure pleasure–real guitar music!” When his contract expired at Stretch/Blue Thumb, Robben signed with Concord Records, the largest independently owned record company at the time. In 2002, he released Blue Moon, and in 2003, Keep On Running, a recording full of the 60’s blues/R&B feeling he grew up on. His third release for Concord was titled Truth. “I feel this is the best work I have done in terms of a solo recording. It is my most realized work as a songwriter, and I feel like I am reaching higher ground as a guitarist.Truth represents the blues as they are today; some of the songs are sociopolitical in essence, but not without humor, and the musical setting is fresh.” During that same period, a super group-Jing Chi-came into being, founded by bassist Jimmy Haslip, with drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and Robben. They released three records, the first, self-titled (2001), followed by Jing Live (2003), and Jing Chi 3-D (2004). In 2007, Robben toured with the legendary guitarist, Larry Carlton, resulting in Live in Tokyo, and an “unplugged” DVD, The Paris Concert 2008. Robben’s fourth release for Concord, Soul on Ten, is a live recording performed in San Francisco (2009). “People had been requesting a live recording for years and I had the right band, music and venue to pull it off.” The record also includes two studio tracks which feature Larry Goldings on B3 organ and John Button on bass. In 2010, Robben and a group of musical friends who have played in different combinations and contexts over the years decided to focus on a project which became the formation of Renegade Creation, with Jimmy Haslip, Gary Novak and Michael Landau. Two records, Renegade Creation and Bullet, came out of the effort and the group toured widely to much fan appreciation. 2012 found Robben playing internationally with the Miles Davis tribute band, Miles Smiles, featuring past Miles’ alums, Omar Hakim, Darryl Jones, Wallace Roney and Joey DeFrancesca, as well as touring with Bill Evans and Randy Brecker’s group, Soulbop. Provogue Records/Mascot Label Group released Bringing It Back Home in February 2013, to critical acclaim both in the U.S., Europe and Japan. This album revisits and reshapes Ford’s musical roots, with studio accompaniment from Harvey Mason, Larry Goldings, David Piltch and Stephen Baxter. In March 2014, Provogue released A Day In Nashville, a tour de force of live studio recording, accomplished literally, in just one day in Nashville. Robben’s last release, Into The Sun, came out in March 2015. Debuting at #2 on the Billboard Blues Chart and was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Contemporary Blues Category.

His latest recording, Purple House (2018) is a remarkable collection of songs featuring Ford’s enlightened approach to composition and production. Exploring the range of the studio with a fresh approach, he weaves in and out of surprising musical moments, ear-wormy hooks, and thoughtful lyrical themes. His sophisticated approach to the blues is evident throughout, yet the record is far more diverse regarding song structure and style. “I was inspired to go past what would certainly happen on a traditional blues or R&B album, take more chances sonically, and open it up without losing the essence of soulfulness or live performance.” On-going An important and essential component of Robben’s career is his commitment to teaching and passing on what he’s learned over the past 40 years to current and future musicians. His instructional videos and clinics over this time have culminated in a collaboration with TrueFire and the birth of the Robben Ford Guitar Dojo. The wealth of his expertise and creativity is generously presented in these state-of-the-art productions, and will be, for years to come. 34 | P a g e @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

Special guest Nick Schnebelen just happened to be in Las Vegas, and joined Jimmy in the studio for this tune, adding his guitar expertise to the track. When I Met You, originally written as a country bluegrass song, was revamped with a Memphis groove, complete with horns, soul guitar, and beautiful harmonies sung by Carrie Stowers, the inspiration for the song.

New Music Alert: ROXY BLUE ROXY BLUE To Release First New Album in Over 27 Years August 9th via Frontiers Music Srl Memphis, Tennessee hard rockers ROXY BLUE are back with their first album of new material in 27 years, after their now legendary debut album, \"Want Some”, has become a classic of the late ‘80s/early '90s hard rock scene. Original members Todd Poole (vocals), Josh Weil (bass), and Scotty Trammell (drums) are now joined by new guitarist Jeffrey Wade Caughron. (Original guitarist Sid \"Boogie\" Fletcher has left the music business for a successful career in dentistry.) ROXY BLUE's self-titled album was released August 9th via Frontiers Music Srl. \"'Silver Lining' was actually the last song written and recorded for the record. After recording the song, everything sounded great, but for some reason the hook of the song kept bothering me. The guys in the band suggested that I just write another hook. One night I was driving home from the studio and I accidentally pulled up the version that had no vocals on it and just started singing something completely different. I finished the new lyrics that night. The next day I went and recorded the new vocal about turning a negative into a positive,\" says vocalist Todd Poole of how 'Silver Lining' came together. Todd Poole on what fans can expect from the new album: \"ROXY BLUE fans can expect an explosive new album! I think the new record is definitely a different sound than the 1992 version of ROXY BLUE, but not unrecognizable. The new record is much heavier, but still has some cool ballads and hints of early ROXY in there. I feel that it's a well-balanced record.\" He continues, \"I have been writing songs for years for different projects I've been in, but when Frontiers called, I knew it was an opportunity to take a fresh approach to the ROXY BLUE sound. The excitement of having a new record deal actually inspired me to write the songs for the upcoming record from scratch.\" On the band's legacy, Poole says, \"for 'Want Some' to be recognized as one of the finest moments in the latter hard rock days is an honor. Especially being that there were so many good bands out at the time4.1W| ePwaegree just so proud t@oGbNe oatpeaErnt otef ratagrienamt eronctkMearag.a\"zine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz
