  • From The Beaver Pond To Cowboys To The Roxy
    Mar 6 2026

    June 12th marked our first and possibly only show at Cowboys before it transformed into The Roxy. The lineup featured Forte and Pitch Black, and it turned into a turning point for that building.

    Long before it was Cowboys, the place was called The Beaver Pond. In the 70s, it was a strip club where dancers floated on lily pads in a real swimming pool.

    That pool never left.

    The stage at Cowboys was built directly over it. Dead center stood a pole that bands constantly crashed into. When asked why it stayed, the answer was simple. Structural support. Stomp on that stage and you could hear the hollow echo underneath.

    George Cunningham, who owned Fritzy’s, saw what was possible. Once he realized heavier shows could work there, the focus shifted. Cowboys faded. The Roxy took over. Rock and metal found a new home.

    One address. Three identities. Strip club. Country bar. Rock venue.

  • Leon Russell aka Hank Wilson
    Mar 5 2026

    “Rollin’ in my sweet baby’s arms.”

    When Leon stepped into his Hank Wilson persona, he wasn’t just covering country standards. He was honoring them. Recording under the name Hank Wilson, cutting classic covers, bringing that Oklahoma edge to traditional songs.

    And when you really dig into the catalog, it’s not even close.

    Leon was prolific. Across genres. Across decades. Studio work. Producing. Writing. Building bands.

    He knew how to pick talent too. He signed Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers early on.

    That show? Both bands were firing on all cylinders. From the outside it looked effortless. Behind the scenes, if you were a hired gun in those lineups, you knew you were standing inside something serious.

    That’s Leon. Vision, volume, and range.

  • Backstage With Keith Richards On The Bigger Bang Tour
    Mar 4 2026

    It wasn’t a no-security tour.

    This was the Bigger Bang era with The Rolling Stones — and the backstage setup was on another level.

    Snooker tables. Game areas. Full liquor bar. Food everywhere. The most elaborate backstage environment he’d ever seen.

    And then the seat assignment.

    At Keith Richards’ table.

    Keith comes out with his buddy, same scarf, same energy. Quiet moment. Timing something. Synchronizing medicine. Intense. That’s all that needs to be said.

    Earlier at the The Waterford Marriott, there was a meeting. Comped front-row tickets. Same row. Same seats. No downgrade.

    Rock and roll at its highest level.
    Front row. Backstage. Observing legends in their own rhythm.
