House of the Setting Sun

The night was curated to flawlessness. As I exited, I hugged people that I had only met a few hours before.  We need more interactions like these.  Stop with all the divisive behavior and come together over commonality. We have limited time on this floating space orb, and we should be sharing in its beauty, rather than fighting for control.  Find your community.  Find your space.  It is then that you will find your peace.

Eastside Bowl, DRKMTTR and 615 Indie Live

February 7th, 2026 marked the second installation of 615 Indie Live in Nashville, Tennessee. There were nearly 70 collective musical acts performing at 15 venues across the city. The purpose is to promote within.  The nonprofit organization of Music Venue Alliance Nashville (MVAN) works hard to make sure that independent venues and artists of the area are represented and able to perform during a typically slow time for live music. This is a celebration of new artists, singers, songwriters and original music that you may not get your ear to through any other channel.  The whole experience was just $20 to get into every spot and see every band possible.

Paul McCartney’s “Eyes of the Storm” Keeps The Beatle Touring

McCartney carried his 35mm Pentax camera around him during these three months and created portraits of not only his mates John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison, but of loved ones, roadies, fans, hotel and airport workers and a handful of “unidentified women backstage”. Pulled from McCartney’s personal archive, most of the images have never seen the light of day before this worldwide tour. What is created is a perspective of the young upstarts before they wave of mega-stardom.  The gallery is aptly named “Eyes of the Storm”.

Vincent Bonelli Brings A New Single To The New Year

To get to know Bonelli is to be immersed in all things’ music. He began playing the guitar at just 5 years old and by age 11 he was jamming at venues across his home city of Buffalo, New York. His smooth style and jazzy rhythms produced a full-length record by 15 years old.  The record was called “Lines” and earned him a spot endorsing music gear from manufacturers like Keeley Electronics, J. Rockett Audio Designs, Walrus Audio, and Morley. A couple years later, Bonelli dropped his second album (which he again produced and mixed), titled ‘Vincent Bonelli’ and then the teenager made the decision to head to Nashville and get a music related degree from Belmont University.
