Known throughout the Greater Portland Area as “The Party Starter”, Mike Diamond has been the bringer of good vibes to countless events. There’s seemingly nothing Mike can’t do: he’s a wizard with Intel, a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, a stand-up comic, and arguably the greatest dancer still living (I put Prince and Michael Jackson atop the all-time list). What the world needs now is more Mike Diamond, but since there can be only one, I’m sharing him with you on Saturday, September 12 at 3pm PST on YouTube.

This was a rip-roaring good time! Mother and daughter had some spitfire, let me tell ya… As Paul McCartney’s stepmother and stepsister, we got all sorts of behind the scenes stories about early life with the Beatles, the McCartney household, and what things are like with that legacy these days. This will be one of the most entertaining hours you’ll enjoy online today!

Known around the world as Sir Paul McCartney’s step-mum, ‘Angie’ is a star in her own right and has all the correct ingredients: the name, the class, and the brass. She’s polite, flamboyant, has a sweet disposition and a potty mouth.

Ruth McCartney, originally a British musician, and the stepsister of Paul McCartney, is now an internet, digital and new media entrepreneur holding the title of CEO of McCartneyMultimedia.com, a creative digital agency with her husband Martin Nethercutt and mother Angie McCartney, in 1995.

Chad and Rachel Hamar are one of those rare married couples that can make it work in the business, and make it work well. They maxed out their success cap in the Pacific Northwest and moved their country act “Cloverdayle” off to the most logical path for country artists: Nashville. I’ve known these dynamos for over 20 years, back when we played high school assemblies together! Come hang “backstage” with us on All Access Live’s YouTube as we get a little bit country and a little bit (nah… a LOT) of rock n’roll. Monday August 31 at 3pm Pacific.

I first met Jenn when she was playing keyboards for Richard Marx, on my first tour w/ A Flock of Seagulls. We sailed the Caribbean Seas on The 80s Cruise, and I got to witness the kind of spirit I love to discover in the music industry. She’s a seasoned pro, having been long-term bandmates with Aimee Allen & the Interrupters and Ke$ha, as well as having done many other session and hired gigs. The past several years, Jenn’s been focusing valuable efforts on Best Friends Cat Rescue in Los Angles. Come hang “backstage” with me and Jenn, and get your weekend started on a positive note!
