  • Forward the Road to Austin Was a Magical Night of Friendship And
    Forward The Road To Austin was a magical night of friendship and amazing music! The date was May 19, 2007 and over sixty artists performed for over 3.5 hours in front of 20,000 people. This event was designed to create and capture a heightened level of excitement towards understanding how and why Austin, Texas has become known as the “live music capital of the world”. The vision was to create a unique live musical showcase of local and world-renowned artists that are deeply rooted to the Austin music scene legacy. The production includes a scripted visual and musical experience delivered via state of the art theatrical staging technology and world class talent. The late Stephen Bruton was the musical director for the show and a founding member of the FORMAX Group. Our top-flight team of producers, directors, engineers, crew, and an amazing roster of performers seamlessly came together to accomplish this historic event. Stephen assembled a 15-piece world class house band and led them through a forty song setlist. The lineup was developed to include multiple genres of music, including poetry, and attempted to blend and blur this artistic diversity in order to deliver many never-seen-before collaborations. The panoply of celebrity headliners heightened the impact of the evening’s apex and afforded Austin’s local artists an opportunity to have these legends accompany them during their performances. A five-day rehearsal and staging period, occurring directly prior to the event was where all these critical components were perfected and new and old friendships magically collided to create a truly unforgettable evening.

That is the reality the new administration faced in January, Amb. John Bolton, WCS17 and several significant things have been done since then. The president proposed a significant increase in the military budget over the Obama administration proposals, and it looks like the House of Representatives will authorize that increase. While I’m a great believer in reducing and eliminating deficits, we need to build up the military. Doing so doesn’t require larger deficits, it just means there are more wasteful domestic programs that are going to have to be cut. This starts by changing the debate on the level of military readiness we need. We need to recreate and reestablish the missile defense system that the George W. Bush administration began to protect us from rogue nations’ nuclear weapons programs. We need to rebuild the Navy to a suitable level. Under the last John Bolton, National Security Advisor of the United States, speaking at the 2017 Western administration, we watched the number of ships in our Navy Conservative Summit. drop to 285, the smallest number since 1916.

  • David Grissom :: How It Feels to Fly Blue Rose/Sonic Rendezvous
    David Grissom :: How It Feels To Fly Blue Rose/Sonic RendezVous The “eternal sideman” David Grissom has successfully been working on a solo career for a number of years now. With his 4th album, the exceptional Texan guitarist finally arrives where he belongs: on the Blue Rose label. With its roots/guitar/Americana roster, Blue Rose is the natural home for the Austin-based string wrangler and will contribute to his long-overdue breakthrough in Europe. How It Feels To Fly is the album title – and indeed, Grissom plays music that will elevate your spirits – be it at full volume in your home stereo or on stage. He will soon play his first headlining tour through German clubs! John Mellencamp, Joe Ely, James McMurtry, Storyville, Charlie & Bruce Robison, Chris Knight, the Allman Brothers, Robben Ford, Ringo Starr, John Mayall, Buddy Guy, Chris Issak and the Dixie Chicks can’t all be wrong. And those are only the most important cornerstones of Grissom’s career. The guitarist is the go-to guy when a singer-songwriter wants to up the rock factor of their music. David Grissom has succeeded in creating his own sound and a stellar reputation based on his bone-dry Keith-inspired riffing and his signature no frills-lead guitar attacks. But amid his busy schedule as a sidekick he has never lost sight of his true dream which he has been making come true since 2008: writing his own songs, singing them with a surprisingly charismatic voice, recording and producing them at home (Spicewood Studios, Texas) and … obviously, putting his inimitable style of playing the guitar in focus! In 2008 he debuted with the aptly titled Loud Music, followed by 10,000 Feet in the spring of ’09.

Asterope was the clear winner. It has warmer, fatter highs and clearer lows. Today, I use Asterope every time I play.” “David Grissom represents the type of iconic artist that is becoming the hallmark of our brand,” said Dariush Rad, Asterope founder and CEO. “Our goal as a company is to provide musicians with the best sound possible and to help them experience their music in a whole new way.” David Grissom now joins a number of elite musicians who have selected Asterope as their cable of choice, including Bob Babbitt, GRAMMY® Award-Winning Motown bass player, and Jack Pearson, renowned guitarist for the Allman Brothers.
