Pepper dives into exciting changes for Vina Robles. Meet Carson Benham, Nina Leschinsky, and Leslie Renaud.

I caught up with local singer-songwriter, Ynana Rose as she gears up for her single release party this Friday, May 9 at Sonic Milk Studios in Cambria.

We've followed Ynana's story for about 6 years now and have seen and heard so much genuine humanness from her along the way. With her personal, heartfelt lyricism and the wonderful arrangements behind them, Ynana Rose has brought such beautiful music to our local scene picking up some New Times Music Awards along the way. In the past few years, she's been heading up a local artist support and idea sharing group known as The Feminine Collective. (IG: @thefemininecollectiveslo).

Ynana has given so much of herself to our community. Give a little back and grab a ticket for her release party! Enjoy this new, very intimate cover of Fleetwood Mac's 1975 hit, Landslide and lots of other gems from her catalog. It's going to be a performance to remember with Yana backed by a group of amazing musicians, including her son Luca on piano. He's also featured on this new track with his own piano arrangement adding such a special layer to an overall amazing recording produced by Rob Vermuelen of Robbo Music.

Suzanne here with a special conversation with legendary fashion and costume designer, Bob Mackie. SLO Film Fest is featuring BOB MACKIE: NAKED ILLUSION- a documentary chronicling the journey of one of fashion’s most iconic figures, renowned for his daring, boundary-pushing designs. Naked Illusion is not just a tribute to one of the greatest costume designers of our time - it is a tribute to the timeless artistry of costume design and the transformative power of fashion.

Just a day after this interview was recorded, SLO Film Fest announced Bob Mackie as the 2025 King Vidor Lifetime Achievement Award Honoree. Join me at The Palm Theatre today (Monday, April 28th) at 4p for a screening of Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion. From there, we’ll head next door to Hotel SLO to celebrate! Bob Mackie will be in attendance too! The event at Hotel SLO includes a 6pm Champagne Reception followed by an Award ceremony and conversation with Mr Mackie at 7pm.
