Hotel Oscar at the “BYB”

Hotel Oscar at the “BYB”
It was Hotel Oscar at the Backyard Boogie so of course it was an incredible night! I have seen these guys several times, I know most of the words to their songs and I just don’t get tired of it. In fact I can’t get enough! Hotel Oscar is on my list of must see bands. So get out there and see for yourself why! Grab a copy of their brand new cd “Rock & Roll Graveyard”  while you are at it! Previously I recommended “Lullaby” and I still do but I am stuck somewhere between “Draw Some Blood” and “Get In Touch”  currently. Check it out! I promise you will be glad you did.

Guest Al Alvarado

Guest Al Alvarado
What a wonderful show getting to know the local icon Al Alvarado! I have become close with Al’s son Chris Alvarado through 30A Songwriter Radio, and it was such a treat to sit with Al and get to know him while broadcasting the show today. Al performs solo these days, regularly at Pepito’s Crab Island Cantina at the foot of the Destin bridge on weekends during the sunsets. Al is the REAL DEAL folks, musically and as a person in general. I encourage you to take the time to listen to this broadcast in it’s entirety, with some of Al’s originals, and also he lays some multi sax layers over some backing tracks by some main stream musicians.

Season’s Birthday Bash

Season’s Birthday Bash

We had an excellent Sunday Funday at Seasons Ammons Birthday show this weekend! She played several songs from her release “Wildfire” Season is talented and amazing and you should make it a point to be at her official release party this Saturday, May 25th, at the Beal Street Bottle Club. You can get your copy of this outstanding cd then. She may even sign it for you if you ask nicely…

Local’s Last Stand

Local’s Last Stand
It was a bit of a “hot” day compared to the temps we have been enjoying lately, but the breeze kicked in and helped create the perfect setting for Local’s Last Stand. For me, it was a much needed and appreciated chance to relax and enjoy what we have before the crazy season fully sets in. Several of our finest local musicians turned out to help celebrate the day and Grayton Beach Catering provided the awesome free shrimp boil. There were also vendors ranging from tacos to YOLO to homemade dog treats and a few things in between. NatureWalk, who were gracious enough to provide the street for the street party, also had some of their gorgeous homes open for tours. Shuttles were available to ease the pain of parking that we typically suffer around here. All in all it was a great day at a well planned event! Thanks to Mike Ragsdale and the crew at 30a.com, their sponsors and everyone else involved for giving us local’s some much needed love!

Guest Dwayne Langston

Guest Dwayne Langston
Thoroughly enjoyed having guest singer songwriter in Dwayne Langston today! Dwayne is originally from Central Florida, but currently resides a bit north of Defuniak Springs Florida. He has an EXCXELLENT talent of songwriting, seems a bit shy but once he has his guitar in front of him that’s all thrown out the door! Dwayne had no problem belting out his originals for 30A Songwriter Radio this morning including: Nothing Left Between Us But Goodbye, Leaving On Your Mind, Some Place I’d Rather Be, I Can’t Stay Away From Your Love, Losing You Is Going To Take Some Getting Used To, and ending the show with a local based fun tune called A Real Good Line. If you can, join Dwayne at Gilley’s FAmily Opry in Vernon, Florida Friday night June 14th for some down home family fun!

Introducing Amanda Sachse

Introducing Amanda Sachse

I met Amanda’s mother Christie randomly while enjoying Season Ammons and Scott Rockwood at Amore, and I AM GLAD I DID. Christie and I discussed her daughter Amanda, and we exchanged information. After receiving various original songs of Amanda’s, and some of her cover songs – I was simply AMAZED! They currently reside in Mirimar Beach, and travel to Atlanta to record and produce on occasion. Get this, Amanda is only in the 8th grade! This girl has some true talent, and will be our guest on May 30th, 2013. Be sure to listen up, and in the meantime here is a sneak peak to what this young lady is capable of!
