Hold on tight, ladies n’ gents… Kelly is true grit rock n’ roll! He’s slayed the stages with Buckcherry for nearly 7 years, was a formative member of Goldfinger, and has rocked w/ rock phenoms Paul Gilbert and Dave Mustaine. Local friends in Portland have seen Kelly rage with the phenomenal AC/DC tribute “The DCs”, and that may be as close as you’ve ever gotten to know Kelly… but tonight? We’ll get closer. Come hang with us!

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.

Oh yeah, you know there’s gonna be some juicy stuff here. Jeff and I have turned over a lot of stones on this planet in the 25 years I’ve known him! Countless shows, priceless experiences, and of course: plenty of trouble. He’s a sex symbol to many, but to me, he’s just my brotha. His band “The Loyal Order” is blowing up the radio charts right now. Meanwhile, he holds down the low end for 80s rock group “Rough Cutt”, and balances out a successful construction company in Oregon.

Nick may be best known for forming the 1980s British new wave band Wang Chung. But Feldman was also half of the duo Promised Land, which also featured Jon Moss of Culture Club. He was a founding investor in Interactive Ideas and has worked for Warner Brothers, Sony Music and Sony/BMG. Even more important to me: Nick is a genuine and heartfelt human. We’ve met across the world on tour, sharing experiences, laughs and a few cries along the way. Listen in on some candid conversation with this 80s icon!

Rob is one of the first players I ever toured with. He’s a true Montanan, but has the wanderlust spirit, taking him across the globe to soak up culture from each stop along the way. We’ve got some hilarious history together, and I love this man’s heart. Listen in on our conversation to find out why.

Mike and I have shared the stage many times over the years, and this cat has been an influence on me far beyond the lighted stage. He’s a seasoned pro from Motown, and has been releasing new music of his own over the past several years, in-between successful tours with The Romantics. Come get candid nostalgic with Mike Skill and me:

If you hadn’t fallen in love with Phil Buckman’s deep pocket onstage (with no shirt on) playing bass with Filter, Fuel or Petty Cash, or swooned over his characters on Boston Public or City of Angels, then you DEFINITELY grew fond of his inimitable voice behind Carl’s Jr. and NBC News. We’ll chat about all of that and more this week!
