Years on the road as a nomad eventually brought Drew Dolan to the realization of his purpose: to connect people through music. This approach has combined a genuine need for cathartic creation that simultaneously draws a thread to the listener. With story-telling lyrics that are delivered with a soulful voice that travels from silky smooth to as gritty as gravel, his “true stories” matched with his keyboard playing groove their way into the ears and hearts of whoever listens.
With a style that has a firm foundation in his Chicago roots, Drew Dolan draws influences from all over the map. With hints of Bill Withers, Leon Russell, Dr. John, Ray Charles, The Meters to name a few, he bridges the gap between yesteryear and present day.

King Baumgardt is coming up on it’s 20th anniversary, more or less, who’s counting. They said they never could decide on a band name, but it was always clear that both their names had to be included. They make their home in Frankfurt, Germany. Frankfurt, not known for it’s great support of their local musicians, loves these two as their own sons and daughters.
Matthias Baumgardt, born and raised in Frankfurt’s East End, formed his first band at 14 and the neighbors looked on and grew up with him as he moulded Frankfurt’s live music scene until it fit him like a glove. He brought Rock, Rock‘n Roll and Blues to us and made them accessible, touchable, danceable and live-able! Music – as a way of life.
In 2000, April King wandered into the short-lived, but legendary Blues and Beyond in Frankfurt. At the end of the evening, Matthias asked her where she’d been all this time. Her answer was, “Waiting for you to finally show up, I guess”. April brings with her an authenticity and an unstoppable voice, she has been compared to everything from stardust to cinderblocks, you have to decide for yourself.
King Baumgardt is in the studio right now! Setting down the psychedelic stuff. It’s not clear, when this is all over, where we will be playing the big stuff. The people we pay our royalties to are sucking us dry and every time the city gentrifies a neighborhood we loose another Honky-Tonk to play in, now in the Corona aftermath, most of our venues won’t even open up again.

Vinnie Caggiano and Matt DeMerritt have played music together in a number of performance and recording scenarios from duets to full band work with the Venice Roasters and the Elegant Strangers.
They’ve performed at many local Venice venues and hope to continue that tradition as the years move on.

Bach, Beatles and Boardwalk (The Venice Beach Boardwalk, that is.)
Radio Venice is an example of just how cool and tight our little community truly is.
I have a new favorite every week but a couple of days ago I revisited She Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby so that’s this week’s fave.
It’s the same favorite album I’ve had for years: Revolver, the Beatles.
Practicing a little known martial art called Shing Yi.
I recently read a question that asked me, “What’s the latest hobby you picked up?”
For No One, (again, Beatles)
Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye
Playing on the Second Life virtual world.
Breakfast Burritos
My Anderson Drop Top with the Switcheroo pickup system
Audrey Hepburn, but just Audrey for short.
Because it’s an amazing thing created and run by some of my favorite people!
Just added an old upright piano to the family…
Her name is Sweet Rose
