OK, 80s movie fans: I KNOW you fell in love with “Beth”, the hottie that broke John Cusack’s heart in “Better Off Dead”. Or maybe you horror fans remember Amanda being the first person ever to be murdered by Freddy Krueger onscreen. Well, Amanda Wyss has a wide range of film and TV roles, and is one of the most sought-after 80s movie queens to make the celebrity fan circuit. We first met at 80s In the Sand in the Dominican Republic, and shared some great laughs. We had technical issues pairing Zoom with the All Access Live page on Facebook, so this episode recorded and was archived on YouTube. Here’s Amanda and her beautiful spirit!

My brother on- and offstage for over 15 years in Animotion, Bill Wadhams taught me the ropes about touring stadiums, fairs and casinos with grace. I love this man. He’s worn many hats in the 2 decades that I’ve known him – music producer, musical theater actor, composer, guitarist, singer, and most important to me: friend. Come spend time with the Renaissance Man and me, live!

Steve created a magical annual 80s getaway – 80s in the Sand (previously in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, moving to Cancun, Mexico this Fall!). The “Sanders” community that his week-long experience created has become one of my favorite groups of humans I’ve ever encountered. Steve and I will chat about partying with Sammy Hagar, crazy 80s adventures past/present/future, and our arm-wrestling over Downtown Julie Brown. Live, on All Access Live!

Send an email to Info@80sinthesand.rocks and mention the All Access Live discount & they’ll hook you up for this year’s event in Cancun! Check out http://thesands.rocks!

The Escape Club are a rock band best known for their Grammy Nominated, US #1 Hit, Wild Wild West. Their other 80’s hits, I’ll Be There, Shake for the Sheikh and Call it Poison all made the Billboard top 30. We all toured together the past coupla years and became like family. One thing I know: Livin’ in the Wild, Wild West is getting crazy. We hang out and reminisce, and you get to come along for the ride.

“If you need a friend, don’t look to a stranger

You know in the end, I’ll always be there

But when you’re in doubt, and when you’re in danger

Take a look all around, and I’ll be there…”

One of the most revered songs from the 80s, The Promise kept young lovers’ dates memorable, and propelled When in Rome to heights rarely achieved by any band. Clive, Andrew and I have crazy road stories from around the world, and you’ll get to peek in at a few of ’em!
