Talkin‘ the Talk With Don
Since 2009, I have interviewed some of my favorite artists. I cover a lot of genres because, well, I love all kinds of music.

From playing in bands that covered Captain Beyond, Jamie Holka became legendary Captain Beyond drummer/songwriter Bobby Caldwell’s right hand man.

On March 29th and 30th, Brad Lee Entertainment presents the first of what I can only hope will an annual Rocklanta Festival. Rocklanta will feature such glam, hard rock, and sleaze bands such as XYZ, Lillian Axe, Dangerous Toys, Warrant, and Tora Tora just to name a few. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with […]
