The Monterey Museum of Art's Block Party brings the talents of local and regional visual artists together with musical artists to create a cornucopia of inspiration and fun

It's not uncommon these days for bands with some longevity to tour with an anniversary theme. As well, to tour with a particular album featured, played live in sequence as presented on the album.

Eric Johnson is a musician with an insatiable curiosity, reveling in a seemingly never-ending quest for discovery and excellence.

At this milestone year, Dan Sheehan, the festival’s curator/producer, has announced its Sunday night closing act as a Cali Roots All-Stars special presentation.

Cali Roots fans can rest assured, at least at this time, that the festival is moving forward. Thanks for reading!

I don't often get out for club shows these days, although I have the chance to hear locally-based bands at other kinds of venues.

One of the musicians I can always turn to for local information is Luca Fredericksen, a long-time local keyboardist who is often busy with a number of local and beyond bands, back in the day and currently.

The legendary California band Los Lobos has 53 years to its name, a group of five guys out of East Los Angeles that continues to deliver on its promise.

Has it really been over 20 years this party has been happening?
