So I can't watch this video at work but the song "Boxes" is definitely stuck on my brain and in a good "you're getting me through Friday" kinda way. Here it is...check it out. Love it longtime. : )

Musical guest Cory Case and an interview w/Luke Allen on PPM this Thursday!!

On Press Pass Music this Thursday, Luke Allen, owner of Gemnini Studios and the new president of the OC Music Awards, will talk about what to expect at this year's OCMAs on April 4 and what the awards have to offer our local music scene. Then Cory Case will stop by for a live acoustic performance and interview... he better bring his harmonica. : )

Should be a FUN show... as always.

As for shows this week, yes I've been under the weather but I'm starting to feel better. Wednesday night, I will be watching Parson Redheads and We Barbarians at the Yost Theater in Santa Ana, Friday night I will be judging the OCMA acoustic showcase finals at the Gypsy Den in Santa Ana and then back to the Yost on Saturday night to judge the OCMA live showcase finals.

OCMA Acoustic Showcase recap


It was a very interesting OCMA Acoustic Showcase last night. The talent was great. The audience was more like a family than a group of strangers. Yet now that the acoustic showcases are at eVocal in Costa Mesa, they're all ages and free, you can't get any better than that. And after last night, I can't wait for next Tuesday. The first of the two acoustic showcases to take place at the venue included Cory Case, Sarah Green, Poor Richards Press and Hong Kong Six. It was a nice change in the showcase. Cory juggled his harmonica and guitar oh-so-well, Sarah belted notes like she was at the Hollywood Bowl, Poor Richards Press kept me singing "If I were a millionaire..." and last but not least Hong Kong Six (who were featured on Friday in the OC Register) popped it up with their fun pop-infused ballads-- Their guitarist Jeff even dedicated a song to me...that sweetheart. It was a fun night, especially the after party, which was filled with randomness, including giving love advice at Avalon, then an encounter with some strippers at that place next door to eVocal that blasts the Spanish music and then ending at Detroit Bar. Got to love it.

This is why you have to be at the upcoming showcases and the main event on April 4. You can purchase tickets for super cheap right now and bands playing the showcase have a chance at playing the OC Music Awards.

Expect some videos too. Thanks for everyone who saw the show last night! And if you're interested in other bands who played the showcase, look to your right and click on the KUCI compilation banner. 10 songs for $5.
