Pour yourself a cup of coffee (it's early), as I talk about new music from gwendolyn, Nilüfer Yanya, Jade Jackson, Medium Build, Big Thief, and Niko Rubio. Also, the Corona Capital festival in November, and Cali Vibes in Long Beach this weekend. Lastly, I do a Vintage Pour, highlighting the five Billie Eilish shows I've attended. We start with her appearance at the relatively small Echo in 2017, to her headlining appearance at Coachella in 2022. Cheers!

Recover with me, as Frank and I talk about Bottlerock. We go over drink choices, some food options, and three days of music. Frank was with me for Day 2, so we talk Kate Hudson, Lawrence, and Justin Timberlake. Some Bulleit rye is the perfect bookend for this long weekend. Cheers!

Grab yourself a glass of your favorite beverage (I'm having a Hess Cabernet Sauvignon), as I talk about my experience this last weekend at Modesto's Porchfest. Then, take note, as I review some of the restaurants, bars, and wineries that I check out when I visit Napa for Bottlerock weekend. And enjoy the vintage pour, as I recall the 2021 edition of Bottlerock (the first after covid). It was a lineup that boasted big names like Foo Fighters, Miley Cyrus, and Guns N' Roses, and relatively lesser known names like Suki Waterhouse, Gracie Abrams, and Dominic Fike. Cheers!

Join me for a couple drinks and a couple desserts, as I give you a quick rundown of the very hot Just Like Heaven festival this last Saturday. Then hold on, as I do a thorough breakdown of the three days of live music at Bottlerock, which takes place in Napa on Memorial Day Weekend. I talk about different artists, the Williams Sonoma stage, and I give you some tips on navigating this twelfth edition of the festival. Cheers!

Join me for an old fashioned, while I talk about the Beach Life festival this coming weekend, the 2025 Rock N Roll Hall of Fame inductees for 2025, and a playlist of Taurus artists. Also, for the first time on an episode, I've included a song I wrote and recorded years ago. It's my birthday gift, from me to you. Cheers!

I return to an old favorite here, with a 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon from Black Stallion in Napa Valley. My Tasting Room includes a new album from music collective Sault, along with some final observations as Coachella Weekend 2 wraps up. And for my Vintage Pour, I feature the legendary Joni Mitchell's 1971 masterpiece "Blue." I talk about her songwriting, her instrumentation, and the artists who count Joni as an influence. Cheers!

Join me for my third cup of coffee, as I power through a lack of sleep, and go over my very busy weekend in the desert. I give you a play by play of all three days, including the artists I watched, the food I ate, my traditional Sunday cocktail, and the never-ending desert heat. From Gaga to Charli, from LL Cool J to Circle Jerks, and from Bernie to Basement Jaxx, you don't want to miss this.
