Edgar Winter On Tour With Ringo Starr!


Scientologist Edgar Winter returns to Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band for the All-Starr Band's 10th tour!

Edgar Winter had such classic rock hits as "Frankenstein" and "Free Ride", that still play on classic rock radio stations all the time.

Edgar seems to always be touring. One of the last times I saw him was at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas playing with David Lee Roth.

This year's All-Starr Band also includes Colin Hay (from Men At Work), and one of my all-time favorites Billy Squier. They will be playing LA's Greek Theater on August 2nd. It's a really fun show. I've seen Ringo's All-Starr Band play before when an acquaintance of mine, Timothy B. Schmidt from the Eagles was playing bass with them. They do all the Beatles hits that Ringo sang on plus the hits of the other band members. It's definitely a night of hits!
Ringo has always been my favorite Beatle, probably because of his good sense of humor. He's also the one that inspired me to start playing drums.

Beck releases new album!

Beck just released a new album called Modern Guilt. What I've heard of it has a 60's psychedelic type vibe crossed with more modern sounds.

If it's an album by Beck it's pretty certain to be innovative, cool, and unique compared to most other music out there. It's in stores now. Go ahead and check it out!

Evan Wecksell - Takes His Hilarious Comedy To TV And Radio!










Comedian/actor/singer/songwriter and Scientologist Evan Wecksell is one of the funniest new comedians I've seen in a long time. He is often compared to comedic superstars Adam Sandler and Stephen Lynch.

Evan’s act, a blend of comedy and music, celebrates dysfunctional relationships, endorses unorthodox career paths and makes fun of bad music.

When I saw him perform live he really cracked me up! He's one of those guys that just has that natural comedic edge. He's got these hilarious, clever songs he wrote with names like "I Wanna Be Black" and "Attack Of The Cougar" (The sexy older woman kind). Some of his stuff is kind of "dirty", but really funny.

Evan has appeared on VH1, E!, TV Guide Network, Fox Reality, Sirius Satellite Radio and more. As well as touring colleges and comedy clubs all around the country.

Here is a link to an American Idol spoof Evan stars in on the TV Guide Network. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xADzPQhYnw

Below is a quote from Evan about how Scientology has helped him in life:

"Scientology has made me cause over life. And I have also learned not to pay attention to any self-invalidation. That is not really me so why honor it." Evan Wecksell

Mark Isham - a man with a sense of humor


Mark Isham is a Grammy and Emmy Award winning musician (he's had some Oscar nominations too) and he also has a great sense of humor. I think Monty Python fans especially will love the opening Flash video on his website : Mark Isham Home Page

Carina Ricco - Viaje Personal


Carina Ricco has a new album and is touring to promote it. "Viaje Personal" is Carina’s third album. It was produced by well-known Spanish engineer and producer Rafa Sardina (a ten-time Grammy Award winner), and it’s co-produced by Argentinean musician Cheche Alara, who has thrived in both the Hispanic and English markets.

Many talented artists converged to create this project, most notably David Campbell (Beck, Alanis Morissette, Train, Rolling Stones, et. al) who arranged and conducted string. Campbell is a 33-time Grammy winner and two-time Oscar winner. On keyboards, you will find Patrick Warren, of Fiona Apple fame.

You can find out the latest venues and more at her My Space site: Carina Ricco
