For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

For over 50 years, John Mayall has served as a pioneer of blues music, rightly earning him the title, "The Godfather of British Blues". After decades of touring and recording, in 2013 John signed with producer Eric Corne's label, Forty Below Records, and has since been experiencing an artistic and career renaissance, including a Blues Hall of Fame induction in 2015. This Friday Forty Below Records will release Nobody Told Me, Mayall’s new studio album. Born in the UK in 1933, Mayall first became attracted to jazz and blues through his father's 78s record collection, listening to guitarists like Big Bill Broonzy, Brownie McGhee, Josh White and Leadbelly. However once he heard the sounds of boogie woogie piano giants Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis, he was hooked. As a young teen, he began learning the guitar and later, the harmonica, inspired by Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy Williamson and Little Walter. The rest is history: mentoring future stars like Paul McCartney, Mick Fleetwood, and Eric Clapton, moving to Los Angeles, more live and studio albums, and world touring his band The Bluesbreakers. Never stopping, he recently recorded albums in 2016, 2017 and 2018 and began playing live as a trio. His 2017 European tour resulted in the critically acclaimed live recording Three for the Road that showcased his skills on organ, piano and harmonica. In 2018, he recruited Texas blues guitarist Carolyn Wonderland -- the first female guitarist in his permanent lineup- for recording and touring in 2019. Mayall also has a new studio album in the works which features a full blown lineup with guest contributions from an impressive list of extraordinary, well-known guitarists.…

Ozomatli was founded in 1995 when the core members worked together on organizing a farmworkers union in Los Angeles. They didn’t win recognition for the union, but the band that came out of that effort, named for the Aztec astrological symbol for the monkey, has been recognized worldwide for its joyous, high energy, activist, multi-genre music. The band's first album, Ozomatli, was released in 1998 on Almo Sounds with the band's trademark mix of bilingual lyrics and Mexican music styles like norteño, along with Jamaican ska and reggae, a heavy dose of American hip-hop and funk, merengue and cumbia, often mixed together in the same song. That album charted and led to tours with Santana and Maná. And they have not stopped. They just released a new single, “Libertad”, their 2107 album Nonstop Mexico to Jamaica has gone global, and their 2019 tour dates are already booked into March for performances from Colorado to Cuba.…

Rebelle Road organized a gathering as part of 2018’s South By Southwest festivities in Austin, released its first album last month - a country stunner by Alice Wallace - and is heading to SXSW2019 to further its agenda of blazing new trails for Americana and Country music, especially California country music. Salvador Santana writes music that is both fun on the surface and deep in meaning. He throws himself into projects that bring a positive spin to the world, and make a lot of people not only better off, but happy. No wonder that at a young age he has accumulated more praise and accolades than most people ever do in their lives. He comes by his music honesty – his family has long been a creative force in music, especially his father, the Hall of Fame guitarist Carlos Santana. Salvador’s instrument is not the guitar, it is the keyboard and the lyric, which he wields with deft skill and unbridled joy. He is working on new projects and has new songs out and we are so happy to have them and to welcome an old friend v- and new father – Salvador Santana is tunes…
