Zia McCabe is a keyboard player, percussionist and bass guitarist, and member of American alternative rock band The Dandy Warhols. She is also a solo DJ (DJ Rescue), and part of a six-piece country music band called Brush Prairie. She graduated from Battle Ground High School in Battle Ground, Washington in 1993. In 1995, with hardly any prior musical experience, Zia joined The Dandy Warhols.
Fast-forward to today, her tenure with the Dandys has been sprinkled with advocacy (last time I saw Zia, she was leading Bernie Sanders onstage at Portland’s Moda Center for the 2016 Presidential Campaign), a burgeoning real estate career, multiple original projects & raising chickens!

Note: Sorry about the audio issues here. If you can get past them, you’ll enjoy Jeff’s personality and hilarious stories!
When you see a legendary band like Starship, it’s tough not to focus on Mickey Thomas’ inimitable vocal range, or the engaging presence of female lead Stephanie Calvert… until you see what an entertainer Jeff Adams is. On his own, Jeff fronts a stellar band in Memphis, Tennessee, and when he’s onstage with Starship, it’s remarkable to hear this guy play bass, sing his ass off, and bring a stage presence that would leave insecure lead singers envious.
I really enjoy Jeff’s energy offstage, too. We’ve been all over the world together, and this was a fun share “backstage”.

Partnering with Five Star Guitars, All Access Live is honored to share the air with the legendary right-hand man to guitar god Eddie Van Halen, Mr. Tom Weber. Geoff Metts will co-host this event, and will be discussing the forthcoming in-store appearance by Mr. Weber.
Tom’s reflection upon Eddie’s passing: “Above all else, he was a force that changed the world. He brought us inspiration to be better today than we were yesterday, to strive for perfection and a sense of pride & accomplishment in ourselves as players and as people.”
Tom has seen the glory and hardships of what this industry can bring. Aside from sharing stories and anecdotes about those experiences, he champions Eddie’s mantra to “just play.” We play, we teach, we pick up the torch and light the spark, no matter how brightly our fire can shine.

From his days playing drums for Powerman 5000 and Dope to the international touring as a tech with The Cult and Danzig, Adrian Ost has seen a lot of rock & roll – both good & bad. Now he calls a creekside getaway in the woods “home”, trading the chaos and debauchery from the rock world for the serenity of rural Washington.
Having amassed a lifetime of stories in his years, those experiences are shared live, as you come backstage with us!

Darby Mills began singing back-up vocals for Canadian bands in the late 1970s, most notably the British Columbia-based band Steelback.
After signing on with the Headpins in 1981, the group began a three-album run at the top of the Canadian charts. Their debut album “Turn It Loud”, quickly went platinum and topped the charts for six weeks. It spawned the hit single “Don’t It Make Ya Feel”. Their follow-up, “Line of Fire”, produced the hits “Celebration” and “Just One More Time”. The Headpins toured Europe and North America while opening for bands such as KISS, Whitesnake, ZZ Top and Aerosmith, among others.
Darby released her debut solo LP, Never Look Back, backed by the Unsung Heroes. She returned to re-form the Headpins with Bernie Aubin and Ab Bryant a year or so later, without guitarist Brian MacLeod. In 2005, Mills was nominated for a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame.
