Hey Everyone,

A real quick update this week, as I am busy working on the benefit album and concert for Shayne Miel from the Future Kings Of Nowhere (www.thefuturekings.com), who is currently fighting stage IV lymphoma (cancer).

Both are coming along extremely well, and I’ll have an announcement soon about some of the artists involved.

We hope to have the album available for sale on-line in early March, and the acoustic benefit concert will be Saturday March 27th at Buddie’s Tavern.

Any musicians who want to still be involved, drop me a line ASAP.

Concert Picks Of The Week

~

Lazlo (BlowUpRadio.com)

If you like roadhouse blues, get yourself to Mexicali Live (aka Mexicali Blues Cafe), as NJ's Kimon & The Prophets open up for New York City blues fav, Poppa Chubby.

Jim Testa (Jersey Beat)

Thursday, January 28

BLACK WINE, Arms and Sleepers, The Barnstormers, Cavalier Rose - Asbury Lanes, 209 4th Ave. Asbury Park - 8 pm, $8, all ages

Black Wine features former members of the Ergs and Hunchback; their new self-titled debut album on Don Giovanni Records mixes garage with Eighties indie for a bracing new take on the classic New Brunswick underground sound.

~

Danny Coleman (Rock On Radio)

My pick this week is an acoustic show... KIM YARSON and JO WYMER will be rockin' the BEANWOOD COFFEE LATIN BISTRO located at 22 Farnsworth Ave. in Bordentown NJ on Thursday 1/28. Check out these two amazing singer/songwriters as they perform their original music in a relaxed, comfortable, no cover charge setting. ROCK ON!

Pissed Off!

The U.S. Justice Department has allowed Ticketmaster Entertainment and the world's largest concert promoter, Live Nation, to merge, proving regardless of who is in office, there is only liberty and justice for big corporations.

Live Nation, Ticketmaster merge; agree to U.S. terms

Music Industry Reacts to U.S. Approval of Live Nation-Ticketmaster Merger
http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2010/01/25/music-industry-reacts-to-u-s-approval-of-live-nation-ticketmaster-merger/

And Eagles manager Irving Azoff is an idiot if he really thinks this merger is, "a great win for fans." There is nothing in either company’s past that has been good for the fans.

That's all for this week folks.

Peace,
