Dear Friends! Not since the days of the Master of the Telecaster Albert Collins have we been so excited about a new Texas bluesman who really shreds! Meet Gary Clark Jr.: born in Austin, TX, raised in the cradle of Texas Blues: the famous Antone's. He's touring with everybody, from Alicia Keys to the Rolling Stones and John Mayer.

Dear Friends! In our efforts to get you rocking on Monday mornings and keep you informed about the event music scene, we are constantly looking for new sources. Thankfully, Matt keeps his eyes and ears on the scene 24/7. The online music streaming site Spotify declared February to be "Fleetwood Mac Month" Many of us have today's tune in their album collection: "Second Hand News" from the album "Rumors". Rumors turns 35 this year and Fleetwood Mac (minus Christine McVie) are hitting the road! "I'm sure many of you have jumped aboard the "Spotify" online music site (I know because I'm friends with many of you on it!) If not, Spotify is an online music streaming and download site that also allows its members (membership is free, with downloads for purchase and payable upgrade available) to stream other members' collections.
