Aaaaaaannnnnddd... the November issue has gone live today, leading off with a most wonderful cover story on Cathryn Beeks. And she's not just a pretty face either! Lol. She is one of the most accomplished people I've ever known. Read her story now!

  A couple of months ago, I sat down for a chat with Cathryn Beeks at the home she and her husband, Jonny, affectionately call the Eagle perched atop Starlight Mountain in Ramona. An interviewer’s dream, she answered my questions without hesitation, exuding honesty and warmth. In fact, I found th...

In the current issue of the San Diego Troubadour, John Rippo wrote an interesting little piece on the state of coffeehouses past and present, and their struggles with the city, namely restrictions involving noise, licenses, musicians union, etc. It's been an uphill battle for these revered venues where people come to gather, study, and listen to music.

Read about it here:

How three incompetents tried to change San Diego’s music scene, and the one idea worth saving from that fiasco. Twice, San Diego attempted to limit entertainment in coffeehouses: once in 2000 and again in 2007, with laws that would have made coffeehouses 21 and up only if they had live shows of an...

FRIENDS OF THE LISTENING LOUNGE!
A much anticipated show is happening this Sunday, October 27th. With all house concerts, we greatly appreciate your advance purchases in order to ensure we have the appropriate number of seats and the best configuration. For this show specifically, we want you to be able to get up and swing when the spirit moves you! That takes a little extra consideration in a yard concert setting. We know you have so many options each weekend in this culture rich city, and Tony, Kaylee and the Bulbancha Band are honored that you are considering spending your Sunday evening with us!

I was lucky enough to see Kaylee Daughtry fronting Bulbancha Ya-Ya at Lou Lou's Jungle Room at the newly remodelled and OH, SO glamorous Lafayette Hotel. I was honored to be Tony's guest at this show in July and WOW! was it a great one! I'd seen a couple of versions of Bulbancha Ya-Ya at their regular gig in Oceanside, first with one of my favorite people and singers, Lauren Leigh. Then with San Diego legend, Whitney Shay and finally with Kaylee. I know you'll agree that she has the perfect voice for this style of swing Jazz. As a young band leader for music of a more gentile time, Tony brings a new dimension, excitement to the standards which is what made me an ardent supporter and fan! It's exciting to see new generations listening and dancing to these great tunes!

Here's a clip from Lou Lou's show:

The San Diego Troubadour's newest columnist, Patric Petrie, came up with the idea for a column a few months ago and she calls it All the World's a Stage. Her column provides valuable information for musicians seeking to get booked at various venues around town with descriptions, contact information, room capacity, sound systems, etc.

This month, she takes a stroll down Adams Avenue to take a look at the Ould Sod, Sycamore Den, Rosie O'Grady's, and the Rabbit Hole. Read her column here!

Wowsa! Adams Avenue was jam-packed with stage after stage of phenomenal talent during this year’s annual Adams Avenue Street Festival, held in late September. But what about all the great music going on in the clubs that line Adams Avenue from end to end? And what about a bit of info about the clu...

He is a drummer extraordinaire who has played with an impressive roster of musicians and bands, including Whitney Shay, Laura Chavez, and the King-Taylor Band.

In the meantime, This month's issue of the San Diego Troubadour features an article on Tony himself. Click here:

Drummer Tony Econom is back in San Diego County, a place where he has roots, where he spent part of his childhood. But that pull is not a San Diego exclusive—not even close. “I was born in Anaheim,” he told the Troubadour in a September interview. “Anaheim, San Diego, Tijuana, and Guadalajar...

Lindsay White has a wonderful concert series called Songwriter Sanctuary. This month in her Troubadour column Talkin' Craft, she talks about how to get booked to perform there; Songwriter Sanctuary happens the last Friday of the month.

Happy October, friends! The heat is finally letting up and I’m slowly starting to feel my melty brain and body reshape into a solid state. There is nothing more gloriously refreshing than a changing season. Speaking of, there are only two shows remaining in the 2024 season of Songwriter Sanctuary,...

As I was browsing through the Troubadour archives, I thought wow what a treasure trove of wonderful articles that date back to 2001. 😳 That’s a lot.

This month we go back to 2002 to bring you a most excellent article on the BIRTH OF COUNTRY ROCK, written by our cofounder, Lyle Duplessie, who passed away in 2004. Please enjoy part one of ”California Young Guns,” which he wrote. It is a most excellent piece of writing.

Josh Weinstein has written another one of his insightful columns for October. Read here:

Most of my private students are adults. I greatly respect the humbling impulse to turn ourselves—grown-ass humans—into learners again. In some ways, the process of growing into an adult is the process of refining our focus only to those things we do best. It is both terrifying and beneficial to ...

THE OCTOBER ISSUE IS HERE! Delve in and maybe you'll learn something new!

KIMMI BITTER is in the spotlight today with a wonderful cover story, written by Lauren Leigh. It's excellent.

Thank you for reading!

I remember watching her at the San Diego Music Awards, standing there in a killer retro outfit, looking like a classic star out of another era. It hit me then—Kimmi Bitter has become something extraordinary. It felt like this transformation happened overnight but in reality, she’s been grinding ...

Kris Kristofferson was many things: singer, songwriter, actor, and pioneer of the outlaw country movement. He won multiple awards and received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Country Music Association in 2019. Did you know he was a Rhodes Scholar as well? He certainly made a mark on so many people. We will all miss him. May he rest in peace.
