We Won in Maui!
June 30th, 2009We won in Maui!! Rock Prophesies won the best documentary vision award, which is the audience award, the ones you really want because it’s the people that love the film and the bitchy judges who give out the jury awards.
Maui was great and being back home in the lush jungles of Hana Road is such a contrast to living in Las Vegas. However we get better concerts here and all summer my friends for the past 40 years are coming through. Cheap Trick is doing 14 show of Sergeant Pepper the Beatles record and Carlos Santana will play 70 shows at the Hard Rock for the next year!
One of the more interesting side things that is happening after people see our film is I get tons of emails from fans telling me about new young band and new young guitar players I should look at. One is Vince Esquire from Maui, a major young blues player that has jammed with some of the greats

I also get tons of emails from young photographers wanting advice on how to break into the music business and if I can help them get passes to various show by major artists. There is a lot of great new talent out and about at the moment.
We all are looking forward to the Sick Puppies album party and screening of our film at Capital Records July 7th, The Puppies are getting huge radio airplay at the moment with their new single.
I am working with Tantrum my cool young English band getting on The Answer’s tour of the UK this summer. The Answer is a featured band we filmed for Rock Prophecies who are from Ireland, totally great live!!
I have been really traveling in the past week shooting in Maryland, Washington DC, Toronto and Sudbury Canada.
Until next time…rock steady!
