Los Lonely Boys

posted 2004-07-15

Los Lonely Boys ain’t nothing but “Roots” music pure and simple; their roots, my roots, and your roots. It is music that one can identify with easily. A sound that is a cool blended concoction of all the flavors these three have been exposed to, coming through your speakers, like a highway of heart and soul, driven into our consciousness in a big old convertible of music…

Mason Jennings: Soul Proprietor
by Ryan A. Smith
posted 2004-05-15

For many surfers, like myself, with an ear for soundtrack detail, the introduction to a soulful crooner and acoustic guitarist named Mason Jennings came on the third film release from the Moonshine Conspiracy (the brothers Malloy and Jack Johnson, et. al.), the Shelter project…

Ryan Toohey’s music is exciting blend of folk, blues, roots and rock that suits a night around a beachside campfire.

Love is Hell Part One and Part Two is so frigging good that I’m speechless. It’s not everyday you listen to an album from beginning to end and find every song on it one that you hang on for the rest of the day. Adams’ record label was wary about him releasing this double album. I think the risk was worth it. You will as well…

The first time I saw Steve Poltz was two years ago when I went to the Belly Up in Solana Beach to see Ben Folds with a friend. He came out on stage looking like your average Joe and read a poem. I think it was about a bum, but I can’t remember. It was humorous in parts, though…

It was a short day last Monday. The surf was on its way up. I was out the door loading my truck with boards and what not. Just trying to get out of the driveway and heading to the beach as fast as I possibly can. Suddenly the Federal Express driver in his familiar orange, white, and purple truck pulls up into the driveway. He was late as usual and I had almost blown him off to go surfing, even though I knew he had a package I was pretty anxious to receive. His timing couldn’t have been better…
