“The Rain” | Anthony Satori
“Feel the rain on your skin / No one else can feel it for you / Only you can let it in / No one else, no one else / Can speak the words on your lips / Drench yourself in words unspoken / Live your life with arms wide open / Today is where your book begins / The rest is still unwritten.”
— Natasha Bedingfield

“Dive Bar Messiahs” | Anthony Satori
The Dive Bar Messiahs headlined last Saturday night at the Lookout Bar and Grill in Channel Islands, California, and they took the house down. With each individual band member boasting an impressive resume, this newly-formed power trio blew the roof off the place with songs by the Doors, the Beatles and the Animals, and packed the dance floor with tunes such as their unstoppable rendition of Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music.” Against the backdrop of the Channel Islands Harbor and playing to a diverse crowd, this show was a blast for everyone attending. Be sure to check out the Dive Bar Messiahs’ Facebook page and find out where they’re playing next, so you can join the party! https://www.facebook.com/divebarmessiahs
“Wail, Man, Wail” | Anthony Satori
A portrait of musician Chantz Powell. This performer is a true triple-threat: singer, dancer, trumpet player. He’s been on the scene for years, and I recently got to see him put on a show on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, California. Crowds gathered, the energy was high, and music was in the air. Some performers just bring it, no matter where they are, and Chantz is one of those. If you find yourself in the Santa Monica area this holiday season, keep your eyes and ears open… you might just get lucky and catch a performance. If not, you can always catch up with him at chantz.com.
“Red Carnation” | Anthony Satori
Tomorrow, December 12th, is Frank Sinatra’s Birthday. As a performer and cultural icon, Sinatra is undoubtedly a legend. Even if he’s not at the top of your playlist, you’ve still got to respect the longevity of his career and appreciate the impact that his music and style have had on popular culture.
The artwork above is called “Red Carnation.” I created the image to express a certain vibe, a feeling, a facet of my sensibility. Some have said that it has a “classic” feel, reminiscent of a bygone era when people dressed to the nines, chivalry was not yet dead, and a premium was placed on conversation laced with nuance and wit…
