Don Felder

No matter how you look at it, 2023 is shaping up to be the Year of the Fingers — Don “Fingers” Felder, that is. Felder, a true American rock and roll guitar hero, is very much looking forward to building upon his rich legacy as one of the most innovative riff-generating songwriters of the modern rock era while continuing his growth as a featured touring and recording solo artist.

To that end, Felder finds himself most decidedly back in the driver’s seat with the release of his first solo album in seven years, American Rock ’N’ Roll (BMG). American Rock ’N’ Roll consists of 11 high-energy rockers mixed with touching, thoughtful ballads. ARnR also boasts a who’s who of A-list guest contributors including Slash, Sammy Hagar, Peter Frampton, Mick Fleetwood, Joe Satriani, Orianthi, Richie Sambora, Alex Lifeson, and many, many more.

Not only is Felder a proud, longstanding member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, having been inducted with the Eagles back in 1998, he was also inaugurated into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville in 2016 and the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2017. Fact is, Felder spent 27 years with the Eagles, who own the fine distinction of recording the top-selling album of all time — Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975), which has sold over 38 million copies (and counting). “I’m blessed enough to have contributed to and been a part of a very talented mixture of voices, writing, guitar parts, and production. I’m very proud of that,” he says of the group. 

Don left the band in 2001 and has since forged an impressive career as a top-tier solo artist with a three fully realized full-length albums as well and several very successful singles for film scores like Heavy Metal, 1983’s sonically soaring Airborne and 2012’s multifaceted song-cycle treatise, Road to Forever and American Rock ‘N’ Roll. Felder added “best-selling author” to his impressive C.V. when his spellbinding 2008 memoir, Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001), became an instant New York Times smash bestseller.

Felder navigated the burgeoning rock scene in his native Gainesville, Florida, in the 1960s, which included a stint teaching guitar to Tom Petty and learning slide guitar from his longtime friend Duane Allman. His matchless lead-guitar tone added extra fuel to Eagles tracks like “Already Gone,” “One of These Nights,” “Take It to the Limit,” and “New Kid in Town,” in addition to having co-written “Victim of Love,” “Those Shoes,” and his most popular co-creation, “Hotel California.” Felder has also recorded with and performed alongside top-drawer artists such as The Bee Gees, Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper, Warren Zevon, Barbra Streisand, Elton John, Joni Mitchell, and Stephen Stills, whom Don first crossed paths in his first band, The Continentals in Gainesville in the early 1960s. 

Spending more and more time on the road as the frontman of his own tight-knit solo band made Felder realize he needed to put in the time to hone his own distinctive voice into a finely tuned instrument. “That’s just how I work,” Don explains. “A lead vocal has to fit the song — it has to fit the timbre and texture of the song. Otherwise, you’re a one-note samba.” Felder counts extended runs with Foreigner, Styx, Peter Frampton’s Guitar Circus, and REO Speedwagon as touring highlights.

Within seconds of his arrival on stage, he has captured the crowd and squired them away into an atmosphere of comfortableness. 
For the next hour, Tessel rattles off joke after joke for his attentive throng.  Moving from subject to subject, his coolness belies the tangential state of topics. 
Bobby Tessel is one of only a few comics to appear on both,“The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, and “The Late Show with David Letterman”.  What does that mean?  Not much really, but he’s done it, have you?

Born in Sweden, raised in L.A., Leif Skyving began his comedy career 20 years ago at the world famous Comedy Store in Hollywood CA, and has shared the stage with such great acts as Weird Al Yankovic, Howie Mandel, Paul Rodriquez, Steve Alan, and Jimmy "JJ" Walker among others. Leif has appeared on The Comedy Network's Comedy at Club 54 and Comedy Kitchen, Last Comic Standing, ABC's Three's Company and General Hospital. Leif’s performances are played regularly on XM and Sirius satellite radio.
Leif has a vast wealth of background from which to draw upon for material from his roots in Sweden, to growing up in L.A. and getting his start in Hollywood, to hitting middle age, marriage and fatherhood all at the same time!

Keith Nelson has been making people laugh in all fifty states—and all over the world—for more than a quarter of a century. He has appeared on Entertainment Tonight and  Hulu's Comedy Time. Apart from being a great comedian, Keith Ross is also a director, co-writer and star of Electives. He can be seen on Amazon Prime’s Not for Nothin’ which he co-writes, co-stars, and is executive producer.

There are articles on him in popular publications such as New York Weekly, L.A. Wire, U.S. News, Los Angeles Times, U.S. Reporter, Entertainment Monthly News, the Daily News, and many more.

Zany by name, Zany by nature is a terrible way to start a biography. Thankfully, American comedian Bob Zany doesn’t deserve that title. He has, however, been described as ‘The Most Sarcastic Comedian of All-Time’ — it’s the title of his Dry Bar comedy special that has been watched over 4 million times on YouTube since it was uploaded in April 2021. He has also been nominated for three American Comedy Awards and had the honour of representing the USA at the World’s Funniest Person contest in 2016, which is quite some honour. His 45-year-long career has been the subject of a documentary called Close But No Cigar.
Zany is a veteran comic with well over 1000 television appearances to his name. The first of these came in 1977 when he was 15. He appeared on The Gong Show and was yanked offstage halfway through his set by a man dressed as a nun. In 1988, he returned to the show, only this time as a celebrity judge, having established himself as one of America’s prime comedians. He has appeared on Jay Leno, An Evening at the Improv, American Bandstand, Comics Unleashed, and many more. Between 1995 and 2007, he was a co-host of the annual Jerry Lewis Telethon. He has also hosted The Zany Report on both radio and Dry Bar Comedy’s popular YouTube channel. Today, he is as popular as ever with plenty of must-watch YouTube clips and over 22,000 Twitter followers to his name.

Village People is one of the most iconic music groups in the world. Their music has become part of the international songbook. The group’s hits are featured in dozens of major motion pictures, on Broadway, in commercials and in “Village People Party” slot machines. Of course, Y.M.C.A (along with its dance) is played at almost every party, wedding, bar mitzvah, and sporting event in the universe.

It began in 1977 when producer Jacques Morali and his partner Henri Belolo, known collectively as Can’t Stop Productions, were recording a new album for their hit group the Ritchie Family, called African Queen and needed background singers. Horace Ott, the arranger/conductor who was working with them, suggested Victor Willis, a singer he was recording who also was performing in the Broadway musical The Wiz. After Willis completed background on the album, Morali approached him about another musical project he and Belolo were planning which turned out to be Village People.

“I had a dream that you sang lead vocals on an album I produced, and it went very, very big,” Morali told Willis. “I have four tracks. I can’t pay you much right now but if you agree, I’ll make you a star.” Willis agreed and the rest is history.

Those initial four tracks, San Francisco (You’ve Got Me), In Hollywood (Everyone’s a Star), Fire Island, and Village People were recorded by Willis with professional background singers and released as the debut album Village People in 1977. The album quickly climbed to the top of the dance charts and became an international hit.

Demand for the “Village People” to appear in concert and on television shows like American Bandstand and Merv Griffin was great. The only problem ... “Village People” was Victor Willis! So Morali, Belolo and Willis had to put together an actual group ... and quick. Morali and Belolo had already met Felipe Rose who dressed as a Native American. They recruited him. Willis brought in Alex Briley, who he’d previously worked with in a musical.

The quickly assembled original lineup appeared with Victor on American Bandstand was Mark Mussler (Construction Worker), David Forrest (Cowboy), Lee Mouton (Leatherman) and Peter Whitehead (nondescript). After that appearance, an ad was placed in a trade paper for ‘permanent’ members which read: Macho Types Wanted for World-Famous Disco Group -- Must Dance and Have a Moustache. Randy Jones, Glenn Hughes and David Hodo answered the call.

Casablanca Records and Filmworks, the group’s label, got behind their second album Macho Man with full promotion and marketing. Village People became an international phenomenon and quickly followed with their third album, the double-platinum Cruisin (which featured the blockbuster Y.M.C.A.). They embarked on a worldwide tour in 1979 to coincide with the release of their fourth album, Go West. The group has received many honors and awards, including the American Music Award for Favorite Musical Group, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone.

Phil Johnson has an action packed show filled with his two loves, comedy and music. It’s a show filled with sharp unexpected turns, sneak attack jokes, and hilarious songs that doesn’t shy away from controversial territory… race, sex, religion, and doughnuts – so many doughnuts – all delivered from the viewpoint of a guy who happily grew up in the deeply multi-everything community of the San Francisco Bay Area. Phil has been seen and heard at the Sundance Film Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, on Sirius/XM and Bob and Tom radio, and on Amazon Prime. He’s also released multiple comedy specials and albums filled with his colorful, tightly-written comedy. 

Tyler Boeh’s award winning “beat-boxing” talent and ability to shift seamlessly from well-crafted material to improvised exchanges keep audiences in awe. He established himself early in his career by placing in the finals of three of the most prestigious comedy competitions in the country: the Seattle International, San Francisco International, and the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas. With past appearances on “NESN Comedy All-Stars”, “Celebrity Name Game”, and two seasons of “Laughs on Fox”, Tyler has laid the groundwork for his growing success. In 2018 Tyler’s second album, “Full Circle” debuted at #2 on the Billboard Comedy Charts and he was selected as the SiruisXM 98 Artist of the Month. His Dry Bar Comedy special “Wait for it” has garnered millions of views online. You can find his comedy on Amazon Prime, Spotify, Pandora, and SiriusXM, but don’t miss the chance to see Tyler perform live!

Then, the Seattle-born comedian decided he didn’t have enough traffic, smog, and pastrami in his life, so he moved to New York City. “I realized that my dream of being the first person on the cover of “O Magazine” other than Oprah wasn’t going to happen on its own.”
Working the comedy circuit on the East Coast, Larson found early success. He was nominated “Best Up-And-Coming Comedian” at the NYC MAC Awards, and was a finalist in both the prestigious Johnny Carson Great American Comedy Festival and the well-respected Boston Comedy Festival.

Joe Larson, the son of a working comedian, started comedy at an early age and has always had a knack for making light of any situation.  At 20, he began to seriously pursue stand-up, comedy, acting, and improv as a potential career when he was chosen “College Comedian of the Year” at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival. Then, the Seattle-born comedian decided he didn’t have enough traffic, smog, and pastrami in his life, so he moved to New York City. “I realized that my dream of being the first person on the cover of “O Magazine” other than Oprah wasn’t going to happen on its own.”
Working the comedy circuit on the East Coast, Larson found early success. He was nominated “Best Up-And-Coming Comedian” at the NYC MAC Awards, and was a finalist in both the prestigious Johnny Carson Great American Comedy Festival and the well-respected Boston Comedy Festival. He’s in a serious relationship with his girlfriend … they're married. “She proposed to me,” he explains, “at a romantic candlelight dinner she looked me in the eye, and said, ‘Joe, I’m pregnant.’”

WAR, one of music’s defining and most enduring soul/funk groups, was founded in Long Beach, California, in 1962. In 1970, producer Jerry Goldstein united the seven-piece band with former Animals lead singer Eric Burdon; the alliance produced the No. 1 worldwide hit “Spill the Wine.” Stepping out on their own in 1971, they launched a fruitful career with a dynamic sound that fused R&B, rock, Latin music, jazz, and blues. In 1973, their smash album The World is a Ghetto vaulted to No. 1 on Billboard’s pop and R&B charts behind the crossover success of two top-10 singles, the album’s socially conscious title song and its rollicking follow-up “The Cisco Kid.” Over a long and glittering career, WAR has rung up more than 20 multi-platinum, platinum and gold albums and singles. This year, fronted by co-founding member Lonnie Jordan, the group will celebrate 50 years of 1973’s #1 Billboard top-selling album, The World is a Ghetto, with a 50-date summer tour, remixes, new releases and more.
