Brett Vaughn joined us in the studio, recorded Sep 7th, 2018Fri, 09/07/2018 - 5:05pm | Pieter PastoorBrett Vaughn (of The Mindful ) uses his passion in music to "find meaning in an often meaningless culture". Brett says If experimentalism is defined as "the philosophical belief that the way to truth is through experiments and empiricism", then the Mindful aim to be a musical expression of this belief. Founded by Berklee College of Music alum Brett Vaughn, The Mindful plays with sounds, styles and musical approaches at will, making use of primarily rock and jazz influences while also offering funk and Americana vibes. Not merely instrumental-based music, Vaughn's colorful lyrics narrate a vast and varied display of songwriting prowess and discovery. |

Music on Canvas with Marilyn Rose Jul 20th, 2018Fri, 07/20/2018 - 5:05pm | Pieter PastoorListen now to a unique concept, as Marilyn Rose explains her passion to put the artist and the "sound" on canvas. Since April, Marilyn has been connecting with as many local musicians as possible in local cities such as Roseville, Sacramento, and Davis. She gathers inspiration from their music while sketching and taking video, from which she creates 9x12” pieces. She doesn’t aim for a photographic likeness of either the musician or the instrument, but strives to express the spirit and passion that results from the interaction of the two. Fifteen of these “portrait impressions” have been painted, with another 15 to go. Two or three larger, more formal portraits will be added to the collection, and all of the framed paintings will be unveiled at a reception at Watermelon Music in Davis, Nov. 9, from 4 to 7 p.m. |

What can I say; I LOVED THIS SHOW!
Additionally, I'll let you in on a secret, this was the first time that I listened to, not one, but two complete Rap songs -- and enjoyed them. :)
Loved the show and thoroughly enjoyed Cory. Tell him what Michael J Fox once said; "I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business." He was excellent.
the October 3rd show was way too short. What a mellow and superbly classy hour that just blew by. Thanks!
