I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Rock Band HEADROOM Announce Video Documentary About Phoenix Live Music Scene
"Phoenix has produced a lot of solid music talent through the years, but it's generally overshadowed by L.A. or Seattle, so we decided to tell the story about the music scene here - to remember the past and spotlight the future the best way possible - in the words of the musicians themselves," explains HEADROOM drummer, Gavin Washburn. Adds guitarist Dan Buitron, "the project is full steam ahead...a lot of people we have interviewed thus far are excited!"
Bands, promoters, deejays, bookers, and others involved in the Phoenix/Tempe/Scottsdale/Glendale/Yuma live music scene wishing to be considered for an interview should email the band at: headroommusic@hotmail.com.
HEADROOM released a debut album "Radio Cries" last Fall to solid media response.
"Strong rhythmic guitar chords and incredibly executed drum beats...much like a good book, Radio Cries utilizes introductions and conclusions and keeps excessive wording to a minimum. Many surprises lie within this eccentric album." ARIZONA STATE PRESS
"A quirky (and I mean that in the most positive, complimentary way) band, they have taken the musical influences of all the band members, added their own creativity to the amalgam, creating a signature Headroom sound. The result is a Cd that is a lot of fun to listen to while making the listener a devout headroom fan." BOOMEROCITY
"Local alternative rockers sound like their music sensibilities were formed at a Lollapalooza concert in the early '90's...back up the grunge-era snarling with with arrangement that occasionally introduce a hint of prog to the equation." ARIZONA REPUBLIC
"Radio Cries has killer hooks and dynamic hard rock arrangements...musicianship is cohesively tight and mind-expanding...far-reaching melody lines and cool alt-rock arrangements. A force to be reckoned with." GUITARZ FOREVER
"The basic concepts in order for a band to capture an audience requires the ability to demonstrate a dominating stage presence, have the look to attract all walks of life and of course, have the ability to produce a mind-blowing musical product that draws your full attention. These basic concepts seem to come easy to Phoenix band, Headroom."
NO COVER/PHOENIX
"Radio Cries is wonderful...each song has a little vignette that goes along with it to help tell the story contained in each of the songs...musicianship is stellar and they have gone above and beyond what many may expect of a rock album. Has instant classic written all over it."
ROCK OVER AMERICA
"Interesting collection of songs....title track reminds me somewhat of Rush, with hard-hitting drums and vocals. A CD worth purchasing." ROCK THIZ MAGAZINE
"Headroom is an intoxicating rock 'n' roll elixir where mingling swanky Southern blues rock with sophisticated modern rock grooves is the name of the game."

Stormy Monday - Common Ground Blues
Common Ground Blues stands out from the pack with tone-filled vibrant guitar work, killer keyboards, a tight rhythm section and compelling vocals, all delivered with style.
Glen Russell met Brian Eddie in 1998, each looking for the right band to play in. Together they co-founded Common Ground Blues. And then quickly became an palpable force on the Blues scene.
The sound is primarily Blues guitar and B3 driven, while Glen sings it out for the crowd.
Earl Abbott started piano lessons at the tender age of nine, and adds touches of jazz and blues to give CGB tons of flavor, and enough color to fill any artists pallet. Timothy Kinsey on Bass is a road warrior, and he can give a song whatever it needs to move you. Guy Mazzo started drum lessons at the age of 11, and formed his first band by the age of 13. Together Guy and Tim lay down the groove for CGB’s Big Blues sound!
Common Ground Blues always serves up something tasty..

Me And The Devil - Rainer Ptacek
Rainer Ptacek (June 7, 1951 – November 12, 1997) was a Tucson, Arizona based guitarist and singer-songwriter. His guitar technique, which incorporated slide, finger-picking, tape loops and electronic manipulation, earned him admiration of some notable musicians such as Robert Plant and Billy Gibbons. A tribute album to Ptacek, The Inner Flame, included contributions by Plant, Jimmy Page, PJ Harvey, Emmylou Harris and others, and was indicative of his reputation as a "musician's musician". He was diagnosed with a brain tumor in early 1996 and died nearly two years later after the illness recurred
Ptacek was born in East Berlin to a family of Czech and German descent. His family fled East Germany for the United States when he was five years old. They eventually settled in Chicago, where young Ptacek was first exposed to blues music. He moved to Tucson in the early 1970s, where he began his own musical career, most often solo, but sometimes he plugged in and led a trio as Rainer & Das Combo. He co-founded Giant Sandworms with Howe Gelb in the late 1970s. When the band decided to move to New York, he opted to stay in Tucson to make sure that he would not disrupt his then-new family. Although he never became well known in the United States, he became more and more recognized in Europe. Billy Gibbons was so impressed with the singer-guitarist that he arranged to have Kurt Loder review Ptacek's "Mush Mind Blues" cassette in Rolling Stone. Robert Plant, similarly impressed, flew Ptacek to England for the sessions for B-sides to supplement the singles from Fate of Nations
He was diagnosed with a brain tumor and lymphoma in February 1996. He did not have medical insurance and his bills were mounting. Howe Gelb and Robert Plant organized sessions for a charity album. The resulting record, The Inner Flame: Rainer Ptacek Tribute, featured Ptacek-penned songs performed by Gelb (with Giant Sand), Plant, Jimmy Page, Emmylou Harris, Evan Dando, Victoria Williams, Vic Chesnutt, PJ Harvey, The Drovers, Madeleine Peyroux, Kris McKay, Jonathan Richman and Bill Janovitz. Ptacek is a participant on most of the tracks.
Intense chemotherapy sessions put his tumor into remission and Ptacek resumed his concert activity vigorously, beginning with a guest performance at Greg Brown's show in November 1996. By this time, media attention was more focused on him than ever before. Just when it seemed as though he had beaten his disease, it recurred in October 1997, and he died three weeks later at age 46.
