Omani

Our very own featured artist, Omani, will be playing live at Giovane’s Restaurant on Saturday, August 22, 2009 along with Reality Sound International selector DJ Daddy Spleece. The cover charge is only $7 at the door. The first 50 people in get a FREE OMANI CD! That’s right, $7, and you’ll get to see a great show with an awesome DJ, and on top of it, get an Omani CD absolutely free. The show is for ages 21 and over and starts at 9pm. Great food, beer, and wine will be available.

“OMANI is a five piece reggae band hailing from Salinas Valley and the Monterey Bay Area in the central coast region of California, bringing deep hypnotic grooves and satisfying positive vibes. Blending new and traditional interpretations inspired from an array of musical genres, but presented with a decidedly west coast roots reggae sound.” – OmaniBand.com

Trusting Lucy is a collaboration between songwriters Linda Arceo and Lisa Long who joined musical forces in 2002 to focus their energy to write music that has been described as a “mix of soulful introspective ballads, straight-on hook driven melodic pop and forceful rock tunes sung with powerful distinctive voices and incredible harmonies reminiscent of the Wilson sisters from Heart, the Indigo Girls, and a dream duo of Grace Slick and Melissa Etheridge”. Their music whether performed as a band or acoustic duo provides an energetic stage performance that will definitely leave memorable musical impressions on any listener.

We took a trip down to Giovane’s Resturaunt one weekend for a show we were invited to by the Sledge Grits Band (who will hopefully also be on the air as soon as they get their first CD out) and we couldn’t believe our ears. After first hearing Trusting Lucy on stage, I knew we had to get them on the air. These girls can really entertain.

I know I’m usually a big sucker for acoustic music anyway, but this is not your average acoustic band. These girls have some awesome pipes that can really push out some smooth harmonies, and they have the skills behind the strings to back it up. We didn’t get to hear their full set as we got there a bit late into the show, however, from what we heard, we can tell you that Linda Arceo and Lisa Long of Trusting Lucy are DEFINITELY girls to watch out for.

I’ll be recieving some of their music very soon to put up on air, and I’ll provide a more in depth review and Artist Feature as soon as I get time to hear their full set.

If you would like to pick up their CD and listen for yourself, head over to TrustingLucy.com and click on Merchandise. You can pick up their CD, “It’ll Be Fine,” their Limited Edition 4 Song EP, “Trusting Lucy Shows,” and even t-shirts and caps. They also note that if you want them to autograph your CD, all you have to do is let them know! Trust us, with the talent these girls have, you will be wanting them signed.

Lots of Band Cards

We recently received brand new SalinasRadio band cards (business cards made specifically to bring new bands to SalinasRadio.com)

These cards have all the info a band needs to get their bands on the air to hopefully bring lots of great new local music. These are being handed out at local shows and at local music shops such as Wise Music.

A special thanks to Pete Wise and his great (and talented!) employees at Wise Music for allowing us to put our cards up in his store and for helping promote SalinasRadio to local talent.

Wise Music is located at:

233 Monterey St
Salinas, CA 93901
(831) 424-7885

Interested in picking up a band card? Head over to Wise Music and check by the register (after you buy lots of goodies of course). We just set out a stack of about 100 and more behind the counter.
