Sad news to report this weekend. As we approach the 10th anniversary of Bohemian Nights at New West Fest, this week’s show was to be a preview of the event. As part of the preview I featured a cut from the original lineup of the subdudes, who were slated to appear at this year’s festival in a featured slot, headlining the Library Park stage directly in front of the festival headliner, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo on Saturday night. Unfortunately, original bassist and band co-founder Johnny Ray Allen passed away on Friday morning, August 8, at age 56, from unknown causes. Being the weekend, there has been no public statement released by anyone from the band, or from anyone at Bohemian Nights festival organizers. As soon as one is available I will post it here. More on the story here.
OFFSTAGE …BEYOND THE MUSIC EP2 PT1
When I started thinking about this podcast series, I envisioned it being a chance for me to go visit some folks in the business of making music who we as listeners and fans of live music don’t normally get to hear from. David Glasser is the founder and owner of Airshow Mastering in Boulder. From his bio: “A three-time nominee [himself], he has earned two GRAMMY awards for mastering and restoration of the culturally significant Anthology of American Folk Music (1997) and Screamin’ and Hollerin’ the Blues: The Worlds of Charley Patton (2002).”
