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.

OC Weekly interview with Luke Allen -- the new visionary of the 2009 OC Music Awards

I've actually been helping book bands for the OC Music Awards showcase, which will take place from January to March. The actual awards will be in early April. As for the lineup... sorry, you've got to be patient... but it's looking pretty good right now. Luke Allen, owner of Gemini Studios ( where I want to live!!), is now in charge of the OC Music Awards. I am looking forward to the new and improved event. With Luke in charge, it's going to be as Borat would say "great success!" I'm thrilled to be part of the awards and cannot wait for the showcase.

Check out the interview by OC Weekly's Chris Zieger (such a nice guy btw.. and funny too).

As for what's happening on Press Pass Music this Saturday, you can expect a lot of new bands and a volatile mix of major rump shaking. ; ) haha.

AND on Saturday, Dec. 22 is my Local Holiday show. If you want to submit tunes, email me at ashleyeliot@yahoo.com.

ALSO, I just reapplied for my show next semester and I hope to get a timeslot with more fexibility for bringing in musicians to share their thoughts and play their music. Wish me luck and cross your fingers, eyes, toes....

Have a beautiful weekend. Monday is my last final... then we party.
