It was a Tuesday night on 4th Avenue in late May when Miguel Bazemore, master percussionist, was feeling depressed, walking the streets with his lady in search of live music that would capture his attention, maybe call him to get his drums out of his car and join in.  Miguel began his international career with the Moody Blues in 1979 and was passed around as "the guy" to play congas, bongos, and timbales with such notables as Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones and Chaka Khan.

If you ask the members of Tucson-based Widow’s Hill to describe their music, they’ll respond with one word: “hillbilly. ” But if you listen to the band—consisting of Ruth Madorma Spies (rhythm guitar/vocals), Brian Heairld (bass/vocals), Bill “Patch” Woolridge (lead guitar), and Jesse Pallente (shaker/percussion)—you’ll hear strands of vintage country, bluegrass, folk, rockabilly, and Americana, with some modern country and outlaw country thrown in for good measure. They play the sort of music you would have danced to in the 1940s and 1950s.

The Desert Bluegrass Association presents our 12^th Annual Desert Bluegrass Festival in Tucson, AZ on October 28, 29 & 30, 2011.  The festival is being hosted by Sol Casinos in their beautiful AVA Amphitheater.

Here was the night everyone in Tucson had been waiting for.  eeks of anticipation were finally over and many had come to celebrate an important event for Tucson Rock Alliance. August 6th 2011 was Tucson Rock Alliance and BsceneLive’s day for celebrating the publication of their magazine, and The Rock was a perfect place for this event. The Rock has been in Tucson for many years hosting events almost every night and this event was a perfect opportunity for the Rock to let the Bscenelive magazine launch party help make history for TRA Productions, Bscenelive, and Tucson citizens.

Walking into Riley's at 5140 N La Cholla Blvd, Tucson, AZ 85705, one may notice a different kind of feeling.  It's not a place where men in tuxedo's toast with wine glasses and discuss bonds and stocks.  No, it's where people who, after a long day of work, come, sit down, drink, laugh, and are encouraged to be loud and brash.  Whether a regular or a newbie, someone will talk to you, making you feel either at home or very uncomfortable, sometimes both at once.

The first thing you notice about Kraiger Caesar is his amazing long red beard, then all those tattoos and piercings, then he starts to speak and you notice something else: This is possibly the most laid back, down to earth guy you will ever meet. I had the good luck to meet Kraiger about 15 years ago when he was working at The Tattoo Shop.

One never knows the spontaneity that can be inspired by a full moon. On the night of July 15^th, I took the opportunity to experience something unconventional under the gravity of the Tucson moon.
