In January of 1959, entrepreneur Berry Gordy borrowed $800 and began the independent record label, Motown. The rest, as they say, is history.
On the heels of the 50 year anniversary of Motown, the producers of the PBS television series, ‘In Performance At The White House,’ thought it would be a great idea to pay tribute to ‘The Motown Sound’ – and I couldn’t have agreed more.

I’ve never been a super-huge fan of Jakob Dylan, but have always respected and admired his talents from afar.

Heart has been burning up the road this past year gearing up for the release of their brand new CD, “Red Velvet Car”. It has been 6 years since “Jupiter’s Darling” was released in 2004 and Heart fans were ready for some new tunes from The Wilson Sisters. In its first week, “Red Velvet Car” debuted at number 10 on the Billboard charts. Not too shabby for a band that has been around for over 30 years.
