California’s ALO is elated to announce their 16th annual Tour d’Amour, a west coast jaunt that takes them through their home state as well as Nevada, Oregon and Washington.  Next year’s tour will see them return to some of their favorite rooms on the west coast, where they’ll be joined by special guest Rainbow Girls on most dates, with Hot Buttered Rum and Orgone joining them in Nevada, and Ron Artis II joining them at San Francisco’s historic Fillmore.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, especially at the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, CO, who hosted Goose's annual holiday themed Goosemas event.

Fans used these items to write requests for the band, and the band in turn drew the balls from Santa's bag to determine the second set.

Legendary funk musician, bassist and composer Bootsy Collins releases “Boot-A-Claus / Here 4-A-Reason”, a funky and infectious holiday single featuring stalwart members of Bootsy’s talented network including Fantaazma, Baby Triggy, Gary “G7” Jenkins, and Dreion.
