1. Billy Sheehan with Rush: 1990 Soundcheck
While not *technically* a video, this month’s most popular clip came to us from Billy Sheehan. Back in 1990, Geddy Lee was stuck in traffic on his way to soundcheck during a stop on Rush’s “Presto” tour. So they asked Billy to sit in using Geddy’s gear. Take a listen…
2. Blues Beatles: Can’t Buy Me Love

8. Brother Strut: Shake Your Money
Brother Strut is a British Funk/Soul band I recently discovered on Facebook. The band released their album, Shake Your Money last month, and they released the video for the title track recently. Jamiroquai’s Paul Turner lays down one funky groove on this one…
Every time I get an email from Pangiotis Andreou, I know I’m about to hear some amazing music. He’s a master of so many styles and has the kind of control that lets him speak through his bass. Andreou shared a video his latest project, Hopla Loon, which features cool instrumentation…
Vulfpeck has just released their video for the tune, “Grandma,” which appears on their album, Mr Finish Line. The song offers up some silky smooth old school goodness, thanks in part to Joe Dart.
