For your perusal, we have March’s FYI: San Diego, Jazz, and the Beatles
More than half a century after they first hit the charts, the Beatles remain one of the most popular and most covered bands in the world. Here are ten times San Diego-related jazz musicians have released a song written by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, or George Harrison. This collection of tunes would make an excellent compilation album!

Buckle up and hold on for, Mojo Nixon: Too Far, Too Fast, Too Much All the Time
I know what you're thinking. You thinkers of your own thoughts, authors of your own intent, brothers, sisters, friends of the revolution. You're not that hard to get a read on.
If you're an indoctrinaire of the Mojo Nixon Forn-I-Cation Nation, you're probably pretty sure you know what's coming and you wait in anxious glee to be delighted with the same spread you've already seen a hundred times. You can relax into your own and drift off to your golden slumbers as we regale you with the classic fairy tales about the days of old, when knights were bold and Martha Quinn got her panties in a twist. Maybe you'd feel sater with a tale of redemption-the one about how a bombed-out-of-his-gourd superstar got up on stage one night to duet with Mojo on "Don Henley Must Die," as if to tell the world that sometimes pretentious, uber-rich, ultra-famous artists CAN come down off of their imaginary pedestal, mix with the regular swill, and, in a moment of pure vulnerability, laugh at themselves.

San Diego blues fans, heads up! AimLoan.com and Wicked Harem Booking & Productions in association with Humphreys Backstage Live is proud to present Season One of the Gourmet Blues Concert Series. Five different national and international headliners make their way to Southern California for just one night of blues every month, in an intimate setting, designed specifically for your listening pleasure. Just to make the evening a little more personal, each headliner will feature one of our premier San Diego blues musicians to open the shows.
When talking with Vince Kasperick of AimLoan he was excited about this joint effort behind this very special Blues series. We're all committed to this mission of bringing national acts to a small venue here in San Diego, Vince said. I've traveled around the country and there's this little place called the Blue Room in Kansas City, Missouri that I've visited a couple of times and fell in love with that concept.just a small venue, with seating and drinks, a little food and great blues featuring headlining national acts. It's been on my mind, and I've been looking for the right people to partner up with and when the blues festival ended, I thought it was time to revisit that.

Celebrating Listen Local with a great story from our very own Cathryn Beeks. Cheers to 20 Years!
Celebrating 20 years with a star studded event this weekend!
As I head into my 20th year captaining "Listen Local", I had planned on writing a wonderful retrospective of the past few decades but as I sailed off down memory lane, I found myself rocking back and forth in the fetal position.
*shudder* lol PTSD is a helluva thang. 😕 While I'm super dang grateful for this job that has given me incalculable amazing musical moments, it hasn't all been rock and roll and red wine these past 20 years. But, instead of dwelling on those unpleasant, unfair, unfortunate or unsavory moments in my career, I'm going to focus on all of the amazing folks who helped me through those times and who continue to make this job such a dream come true. Won't you join me on my self-indulgent journey back in time?

What better way to start your weekend than with coffee and musica! Check out this featured story!
Longplay Hi Fi: Calling All Coffee Connoisseurs
EL DISCO ES CULTURA. It’s written on the walls, it’s written on the records, and it lingers in the air amid the aromas of ground coffee beans and the humming of analog audio hardware. It is the essence behind Gibran Huerta’s (who goes by “G”) motivation to open Longplay Hi-Fi, a vinyl-spinning hospitality bar in Barrio Logan.
“Longplay is our show, we’re here to entertain you with music and hospitality.”
Roosting across the street from an exotic bird store, the blacked-out windows and the locked door of G’s bar conceals the warmth, welcome, and hospitality awaiting music and coffee enthusiasts.
