Award winning Blame Sally will be performing at Harlow’s in Sacramento on Sunday September 9th at 7:00 p.m. Blame Sally brings you everything from stompboxes to fiddles, as they weave their magic in a tapestry of musical delight. And don’t for a minute think of them as a folk band as they add a little bit of rock, and a whole lotta heart into each and every performance, blending the different genres into a melodic work of art. Their live performances are more than just a musical journey, as they banter back and forth with each other in between songs as only true friends can do, making for a very entertaining evening. Their most recent Sacramento appearance brought droves of fans from th
Thunder Valley Casino Resort will kick off their summer concert series on May 18. Thunder Valley has brought a diverse lineup of acts to their summer stage in past seasons, and 2012 promises to be just as good, with everything from local favorites such as Tesla to cross-border sensations, including three-time Grammy-winner Diana Krall. Krall also just recently collaborated with Paul McCartney on his latest album, “Kisses from the Bottom.” According to Doug Elmets, spokesman for Thunder Valley; “Our hope is that the entertainment will appeal to a broad cross-section of our patron base while also attracting people who haven’t experienced our AAA Four Diamond resort,” Thunder Valley spoke
Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame member and legendary Righteous Brother Bill Medley brought a crew of extremely talented individuals to Thunder Valley Casino Resort Friday, including daughter McKenna. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Righteous Brothers. The second half of the duo, Bobby Hatfield, died of a heart attack back in 2003; Medley now tours with the 3 Bottle Band and McKenna. Kicking off the show was a video showing Medley as he made appearances in various shows throughout his career, including the David Letterman Show and the hit television series, Cheers. As the video ended, Medley started to sing “A Song for You” while he was still offstage. After about a minute he start
The world renowned Harlem Globetrotters were at Power Balance Pavilion Sunday to take on the International Elite, as they went head-to-head to determine who would be the world champions. Globie, the team mascot, came out before the show to entertain the crowd with a little bit of magic and some dance moves. As Globie strutted around like Michael Jackson the crowd went wild with some kids jumping up to dance along with Globie. Even though the stadium was far from sold out, the audience members made up for it in enthusiasm. Throughout the game the crowd was cheering and clapping for the Globetrotters, with a few boos thrown in for team Elite. As with all Globetrotter games this was an aud
Armed with 20 vocalists, six band members and four crew members impersonating the legends of Motown, RPM Crown Productions brought their Hitsville USA Legends of Motown Tribute Show to Thunder Valley Casino Resort on Saturday. There was a sold-out crowd of diehard Motown fans there to enjoy some of the greatest hits from the Motown era. It was perplexing that more people weren’t up on their feet during some of the performances. However, after each performer finished their set they were met with more than a few people giving them a standing ovation. The all-star lineup included acts such as The Four Tops, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, and even a brief break from Motown for a little bit of
As I stated in the article "PBS wants to use Blame Sally as a role model for women everywhere. They are an example of healthy, authentic women, proud of their age and defying the odds by forming a successful rock band in their 40’s and 50’s. What they have accomplished is an inspiration to women across America." As to why they didn't pick a local Sacramento act, I couldn't say. I plan on attending the event and if I get the opportunity I will ask the question and let everyone know their answer. Randy
Well count me in as a newly inducted Noonatic.
Going back and double checking my notes. Tone Loc did play "Funky Cold Medina." He started his set with it.
Colleen who? :-) Congratulations well and deserved! Shoot. I should send this for copy edit first. Have fun in your new role.

Wow! Tough crowd. Great article Aaron! You're right, music is the best therapy - for a lot of things. Too bad a few try to spoil it for the many.
