Peter Jesperson, Tommy Stinson book event and signing

  • Sep 12 @ 7:00 PM - 11:59 PM
Tommy Stinson Bio Singer, songwriter, sideman, and frontman, Tommy Stinson has assumed many different roles in his remarkable 40-year musical odyssey. A co-founder of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees The Replacements, Stinson started performing with the band at age 12, and saw the group through its epic 11-year run. Following the band’s break-up, Stinson would go on to lead his own critically acclaimed combos Bash & Pop and Perfect. For well over a decade, Stinson also served as the bassist and musical lieutenant to Axl Rose in Guns N’ Roses. In 2017, following a triumphant Replacements reunion, Stinson reformed Bash & Pop, and released the brilliant Anything Could Happen on Fat Possum Records. Under the moniker Tommy Stinson’s Cowboys In The Campfire, his latest recording is called Wronger. Peter Jesperson Bio I have been a music fanatic all my life. My first job in the field was distributing British rock weekly the New Musical Express in 1972. I was hired at Oar Folkjokeopus (record store) the following year, was made manager in 1975, and worked there until the summer of '83. In 1977 I co-founded Twin/Tone Records, primarily handling A&R and distribution. In 1980 I discovered and signed The Replacements, soon became their manager and co-produced their first four albums. Other notable signings include Soul Asylum, Vic Chesnutt, Chuck Prophet, and Ben Lee. In 1983 I became interim tour manager for R.E.M. I DJ-ed at KRSI-KFMX ('74-'75), rock club The Longhorn ('77 -'81) and at KREV/REV 105 (’94-’97). I moved to Los Angeles in 1995 to work Twin/Tone releases with the help of Restless Records. I joined New West Records in 1999 as VP of A&R and Production. I went freelance in 2016, doing A&R, production, and music-related writing. In November of 2023, I released a memoir, Euphoric Recall, regarding my half century in the music business.

Sue Foley – One Guitar Woman and a Q&A

  • Sep 05 @ 7:00 PM - 11:59 PM
ONE GUITAR WOMAN is more than a tribute show. Foley doesn’t merely cover these artists’ songs; she absorbs their style and inhabits the soul of the music. Her guitar work is so deep and natural that it seems to rise from the same roots that gave birth to the originals, while her vibrant vocals bring new life to the lyrics and make the songs her own. Esteemed music writer Hal Horowitz notes in Rock & Blues Muse, “The often spellbinding One Guitar Woman … is an enlightening look into her remarkable talents, filtered through the lens of a more intimate expression of the blues.” SUE FOLEY is an acclaimed guitarist, singer/songwriter and writer who began her professional career in her teens. She’s released thirteen albums and has garnered several awards, including Traditional Female Artist of the Year at The Blues Music Awards in Memphis four consecutive times.
