SMOOTH UP with BULLETBOYS’ BRAD LANG

In July 2010, Brad was contacted by iconic rock group Y&T as they had learned that original bassist Phil Kennemore was diagnosed with lung cancer and unable to tour. In less than 24 hours, he learned the setlist and was on a plane to Wisconsin to play the next day. Upon Kennemore’s passing in 2011, he was asked to become a full time member of Y&T.

In 2016, Brad left Y&T amicably due to personal reasons, soon after joining Bobby Blotzer’s Ratt. This version of Ratt was derailed by a series of lawsuits. Several opportunies lay ahead for Brad, playing with Dennis DeYoung in 2018 and 2019 when his bass player was unable to perform, and jumping in last minute to play with Foreigner when Jeff Pilson needed a sub in 2024.

He joined Doug Aldrich’s Burning Rain in 2019 to record the album “Face The Music” and tour, performed in a Christmas Holiday musical experience named Luminare in 2021, and in 2022, he was asked to join the BulletBoys, where he’s currently touring internationally.

CRAIG CAROTHERS JOINS ALL ACCESS LIVE

Craig Carothers lived in Portland before it was hip and moved to Nashville before it was ready for prime time. He’s always been a little ahead of the curve and an old school kind of cool. His music is heartbreakingly beautiful and scathingly funny, delivered with a lively deadpan smile and a voice that’s downright swoony.

DEEP INSIDE DFIVE9

Since their inception, DFiVE9’s music fueled an ongoing groundswell of interest at the grass-roots level and beyond. We look back at a Pacific Northwest band full of fire and fury that took the region by storm before moving onward to new paths. Catch up with the gang today as we get deep inside DFIVE9!

ALL ACCESS LIVE with ELECTRONIC DRUM GURU MIKE SNYDER

You may not know it, but you’ve heard Mike’s work. For the last 20-plus years he’s been a regular on the Los Angeles and Portland, Oregon recording scene, bringing his special talents to hundreds of records, film, and television soundtracks. In addition to every Mel Brooks movie from Spaceballs to Robin Hood: Men in Tights, his playing may be heard on many popular, syndicated television shows, including Home Improvement, Dinosaurs, and The Little Mermaid. His recording work now focuses mainly on jingles, record projects, library music, music for industrial video, and lots of drum & percussion loops.

THE ENIGMA

When you think of extreme, wild, out of this world entertainers, The Enigma stands out as the leader of his art form. He is an historic legend in body modification, circus sideshow, and tattooing, and leads the pack in that “do it yourself” renassaince-style. As a refined talent of over 20 years in the business you can see that he continues to amaze and inspire. The Enigma’s cult status and huge following will grow organically over the years as he constantly gives to the art world.

MELT WITH MODERN ENGLISH’S MICK CONROY

Founding Modern English bassist Mick Conroy joins All Access Live as we regale in stories of global travel, the manic world of 80s pop music and the benefits of a clear head. Modern English are an English rock band best remembered for their songs “I Melt with You”, “Hands Across the Sea”, and “Ink and Paper”. The group disbanded for a period in 1991, but later recorded in 1995 and 2002 with new members. The original 80’s line up have now reformed and are touring the US and UK and are writing new material, with new album “1234” to be released in 2024.
