On this episode of the Tour Bus Music Show: Raw Rock Power is what powers this bus and let me tell you that after today’s show the tank is full and the bus is ready to roll. This T.Mic of The Tour Bus Music Show and our featured guest is no stranger to the Audios Maximus Network. We first interviewed him back on The Tour Bus Music Show – Episode# 7, he returned for the 2010 year end special. Heaven Below, is Fronted by Patrick Kennison on lead vocals & guitar, lead guitarist Jesse "Bawls" Billson, and rounded out by rhythm section John Younger on bass guitar & Aaron Rossi on drums, the band and their music has become a force to be reckoned with in the rock scene. Of course tonight’s featured guest is Patrick Kennison of Heaven Below! Heaven Below has to its credit: Number 1 in sales at tradebit.com, top 10 on Amazon.com New Hard Rock Release Chart, Top 20 on Music Choice." These types of recognitions are typical of veteran rock bands, but Heaven Below has already taken home these honors in the short time this Los Angeles based unit has been together. "When Daylight Dies" took the radio airwaves by storm in 2010 with syndicated radio shows such as Hard Drive and The Rock 30 were spinning the Ben Moody (Evanescence) and has since been played on 50+ radio stations across the country. Press outlets such as Hard Rock Haven have hailed Heaven Below as "the next Guns N' Roses". The New York Examiner referred to their live performances as "unbridled balls to the wall ferocity". With the buzz and momentum of the band growing, the opportunity to tour and spread the word beyond radio and internet hype has been inevitable. The band has put 4 successful club tours under it's belt, sharing the stage with major artists such as Buckcherry & Avenged Sevenfold along the way. Since the release of their most recent album “Falling From Zero” the band has had some great opportunities that have presented themselves to bring their music to an even wider audience (more details on this coming soon) as well as pairing up to perform with great bands such as Queensryche , Steel Panther, Lynch Mob and many others. Patrick shares with us on this episode what has been happening with the band, talks about the new album and some of the stories behind the music on their new album. Yes, Heaven below is going places and at a break-neck pace to be sure. They are also an exceptional rock act to see live. If they are coming anywhere near your town they are definitely a band to make the trip to see. In the meantime be sure to check out their album “ Falling From Zero” which is packed with some great tracks and a few surprises (but you will have to listen to the album to find them).

On Barkussions I'm also going to share a craft project no sew tied blanket for your dog. Tools: 2 different materials, ruler/measuring tape, and scissors. Note: Your going to need material that is sturdy in strength to resist scratching and pawing from your dog. The material I'm using is a fleece material Your going to need one printed material and one solid color material. Step one- measure your dog- you want the material fit your dog. However, make sure that you have six inches around the fabric for those pups who like to stretch! Bella loves to stretch out on her blankie. Step two- cut all four corners 2 inches in length and 3 inches in width. Before you cut make sure the edges line up so that you get a clean cut with the top and bottom layer. When you cut all four corners your material is going to look like a cross. Step three- Cut the rest of the material remember to make sure that all four edges line up for a clean cut with the top and bottom layer. Your going to cut 1 1/2 inches in length and then cut about an inch and half between the cuts. Step four-Tie all the edges together in a double knot. Step five-Take a picture of your dog and the new blanket you made for him or her. Check out Bella's pictures below: Spicy Taco Bowl with Black Rice Recipe type: Entree Serves: 4-6 Gluten-free; Free of: nuts, soy, dairy, eggs, corn, Ingredients • 1 cup black rice • 2 cups water • 1 teaspoon olive oil • 1 medium onion, diced • 1 large bell pepper, diced • 2 cloves garlic, crushed • 1-1/4 pound (20 ounces) extra lean (96-97% lean) ground turkey or beef • 1-1/2 tablespoons cumin • 2 teaspoons chili powder • 1 teaspoon onion powder • 1 teaspoon garlic powder • 1-2 teaspoons hot sauce • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning • 1/2-1 teaspoon powdered chipotle chili • Toppings: Tomato, Avocado, Cilantro, Black beans Instructions 1.

Blues… It’s roots go back to the Mississippi Delta. It has told the stories of heartache as well as life’s pleasure and pain. It’s notes forged from the soul. It’s music has been grinded out of beat up acoustic guitars on front porches on hot southern nights and burned out of electric guitars, piano’s and blues harps in dark juke joints from St. Louis To Chicago. But on today’s show we’re goin’ to Baton Rouge, LA to sit down and talk to a modern bluesman who won Guitar Center's 2011 "King Of The Blues" competition, Jonathon "Boogie" Long. In an interview that runs almost one hour we'll dig into Boogie's story of how his life has been shaped by the blues and has recently come to be one of the hottest young blues players in the South. We'll also feature 3 cut's off of his soon to be released, self-titled album, Jonathon "Boogie" Long and The Blues Revolution. The tracks we will be featuring are: Blues Revolution Bad Karma Bad Day The interview was recorded in early summer of 2012 shortly after the Baton Rouge Blues Festival. We welcome you to join us for an interesting interview with a very dedicated and talented guitarist & vocalist and some great blues music. You can find out more about Jonathon "Boogie" Long at: http://jonathonboogielong.com/ Some great upcoming dates to catch Boogie performing at are: Live After 5 - Downtown Baton Rouge - 9/21/2012 Homegrown Harvest Music and Arts Festival - New Orleans - 9/23/2012 5:15pm Knuckleheads - Kansas City, Missouri - 9/28/2012 Jammin in JC Blues Fest - Junction City, Kansas - 9/29/2012 Sunday in the Park - Downtown Baton Rouge 11/4/2012
