Lincoln Theatre

These guys pretty much define a “live show” for everyone. Since the 1970s, they put the “audience participation” in music without losing a step. If you were at the show and were standing still, you were either stunned or not alive. The crowd was an extension of the energy on stage. Much of the crowd […]

Since I was a  teenager in the mid-70s and early 80s,  hard rock/heavy metal music has been a big part of the my musical history.  I blasted  Black Sabbath’s “We Sold Our Soul for Rock N’ Roll” on my eight track track tape player in the basement of my Wisconsin home at age 12. I […]

  This show was about raising some funds for the family of  their fallen brother Roy Max Hill to help cover some medical bills. It was also about a reunion between the fans both (old and new) and the famous Jesse Bolt show.  Before the show, my friend lead singer Stacey Winn in the DriVer […]

This past February I headed down to my eastern North Carolina old stomping grounds to see the double billing of the Lexx Luthor and Driver bands at the Live Bar in Greenville, NC .

  If you are been a music fan in North Carolina since the late 1970s, you have probably heard of the NC based iconic Nantucket band.    I remember first seeing this band live at the “My Club” bar in Rocky Mount, NC when I worked as rock n’ roll Disc Jockey on the summer  weekends […]

Rock music has been part of my life for many years now.  I started playing bass guitar after being inspired mainly by Rush’s Geddy Lee (musical talent) and KISS bassist Gene Simmons(the show) when I was teenager in the 1970s.    In my mind, what separated Kiss from the rest of the bands out there was […]

Recently, I headed to the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, North Carolina to see my friends in a band called Lexx Luthor and try to get in touch with Jesse James Dupree who is the lead singer in headlining act Jackyl.  Jesse is one of the main characters in the Full Throttle Saloon TV show on […]

As I mentioned on my previous post,  I headed to the Capital City Bike Fest to see my friend Stacey Winn sing in the Shoot To Thrill band.  I decided to arrive there a little early for a couple of reasons: 1) Take some shots of the band opening for the band so I  have […]

Back in the 80s, I worked as a DJ at a rock night club in Rocky Mount during the summers of my college years.  Every Wednesday night, we had the “Night of the Jackle” DJ show and I would play music in between sets for the bands on the weekends. Though Rocky Mount, NC was […]
