Cara's Basement

Twilight Fans rejoice! Eclipse comes out this week...and I had the chance to chat with Boo Boo Stewart who plays "Seth", and Tinsel Korey who plays "Emily".

They checked in from the road as they were pretty busy doing the press circuit this week. They shared some great insight about what to expect in Eclipse and even shared a funny story about a fan encounter w/Boo Boo yesterday. Keep in mind he is only 16 years old...gee, there's a lot of cougars out there who love Twilight! ;-)

Michael Franti talks about how he wrote his hit song Say Hey (I Love You) in Woody Harrelsons bathroom...why he hasn't worn shoes in ten years...and more!

Michael Franti plays two MIX concert events in Chicago on Friday, June 25-

• Free lunchtime concert outside at noon on the plaza at the John Hancock Center
• Jammin' At The Zoo with Lifehouse at the Lincoln Park Zoo

Green Day's new ROCK BAND game comes out June 8, 2010. Holy cow it's gonna be AWESOME! Drummer Tre Cool describes the incredible graphics and what went into making the game. He also talks about the irony of long ago being the very first band in the lineup at Lollapalooza, and this year being the headliner. My, how things have changed!

Gary Sinise brings his Lt. Dan Band to the Hard Rock Cafe' in Chicago Friday, May 7, 2010.

Edwin McCain play's a MIX CONCERT EVENT at The Cubby Bear in Chicago Friday, April 9, 2010.

We chat about his wedding-singer tendencies, his close relationships with REO Speedwagon and Styx, plus his touring for the troups...and of course his sweet accent!

Dan Castady is the lead singer of The Fold and a dead-ringer for actor Justin Long. It was a pleasure talking with Dan about the amazing recent Miley Cyrus homage (sounds better than parody) The Fold released. The song is so great and the video is even better. Watch it on youtube. And better yet...head to their website www.TheFoldRock.com to see many other great video's from The Fold like "I'm With Coco" (for us Conan fans!) to a halarious follow-up to "Every Band In The USA" involving a lawsuit...

The Fold will play at The Bottom Lounge in Chicago Friday, February 12, 2010. And they will be at the Apple Store in Michigan Avenue, Chicago on March 21, 2010 (we talk about that during this conversation).

Everclear will play at The House Of Blues in Chicago January 27, 2010.

Rick Springfield is on tour and will play a show in Elgin, IL on Dec 4, 2009. He's also busy with his remarkable TV stint on Showtime's "Californiation" playing himself. This conversation covers everything from being naked on TV to drinking the blood of young virgins to Rick wearing a kilt. Seriously!

Keith Nelson from Buckcherry took a few moments the chat with Cara from backstage as they tour the country with KISS to talk about...touring the country with KISS!

Michael Buble' has sold 22,000,000 albums (so far) worldwide. His songs capture romance, heartache, love and every other emotion that goes along with any relationship you've ever been in. His song "Everything" is a very popular first-dance song at weddings. And his live performances are unreal.

It was an honor to be the very first radio personality in the USA to speak on the phone with Michael Buble' (for 101.9 WTMX "The Mix" in Chicago,IL) as his third album "Crazy Love" is just about to be released. The album was initially supposed to be released on October 13, but due to fan demand the album will now be released 4 days prior (October 9). You can pre-order it now. An even bigger honor was having him serenade me...I still have the goosebumps!
