Girls Are on The Rise

          We all remember the 80's bands with a woman as lead-vocal like Heart, and Pat Benatar, they've set the tone for aspiring girl rock musicians. Over the past 15 years there just hasn't been many other bands that can come close to compare. But there are a few now that are starting to hear some rumble about. I wanted to dedicate this post to all the girl musicians that know how to hang with the big boys!

HALESTORM

          Lead by front woman Lizzy Hale, Halestorm has only been around for a short period of time and they have already accomplished some incredible achievements. In 2013 Halestorm's single Love Bites (So do I) was nominated for the Grammy Best Hard Rock Metal/ Performance, they not only were nominated but THEY WON! The band has only been relevant since 2009 but are making huge strides. The best part is this is only the beginning for them, Halestorm hasn't even come close to hitting their peak yet. I'm AMPED for the release of their 3rd studio album "Into the Wild Life" on April 14th and they will hitting the road promoting this album next month and they are even performing in Kansas City, Missouri on May 30th at Liberty Memorial. Halestorm will blow you away!



THE PRETTY RECKLESS

         The Pretty Reckless is down same path Halestorm took to stardom. Fun Fact: the lead singer Taylor Momsen most of have seen her before. She is not only a musician but she was a child actor as well. Remember the move The Grinch Staring Jim Carrey? Taylor played Cindy Lou Who! Who would've ever guessed that Cindy Lou Who loved to melt faces with her music in her spare time. But more power to her, The Pretty Reckless are making a name for themselves quickly! They have only been together since 2010 and only 2 studio albums, the only way for this band to go is up. They created a huge buzz in the rock genre as a whole and continue to set themselves apart from the rest. They will be performing with Halestorm at Liberty Memorial, everybody should go check them out they are definitely worth the money!

Dosage of ROCKFEST



I wanted to dedicate this weeks playlist to the announcement of ROCKFEST 2015. The order of the playlist is the order of appearance from opener to the headliner and the great news is that this only half of the concert! But these are main performers. Hopefully I'll see some of you guys out there, it's an experience you don't want to miss!

CABIN FEVER



I speak for everybody when I say thank goodness spring is among us! Want to kick it off right for summer? ROCKFEST is the place to start! The video is all the convincing you'll need...

I'm not a huge Zombie fan myself but I've heard he can put on a great performance. I'm looking forward to seeing all the bands that lead up to him.  I've seen them all in past concerts and they know how to put on a good show. If you enjoy music festivals and don't mind being outdoors with 50,0000 other fans then this is the concert for you!
