The Rowan Brother's Interview

After graduating from high school in 1970, Lorin moved to Marin and has lived in Mill Valley for the past 38 years. At that time Lorin and his brother Chris formed ‘The Rowan Brothers’. Within a year they were signed by Clive Davis on Columbia Records and recorded their first album.
Lorin and Chris then teamed up with brother Peter as “The Rowans” and were signed by David Geffen to record three albums on Warner/Asylum; ‘The Rowans’, ‘Sibling Rivalry’ and ‘Jubilation’ respectively. The country-rock arrangements featured their sterling three-part harmonies.
In the 80’s, Lorin and his partner Jimmy Dillon formed a local San Francisco rock-reggae group called “The Edge”. They recorded several independent releases and packed the local club scene. They often shared the bill with Huey Lewis and The News.

Crowbar aka Kurt Kangas

Kurt "Crowbar" Kangas has taken over the reins of the Bay Area's Artista Gang.
The Artista Gang was created by renowned artists Alton Kelley, Pat Ryan, and David Sheridan back in the late 70s. The thinking back then was to create a gang of artists and their friends. Throw unbelievable parties. And, what a great way to meet women... what? Way before the whole "Me Too" thing kicked in, at the height of what historians referred to as the sexual revolution/liberation era, the Artista threw some incredible parties. Yep, we're to blame (not really). But, interesting times...and the Artista Gang lives on.
Just some of the names of some of the Artista's members included Journey, the Grateful Dead, Norton Buffalo, Jerry Garcia (Kelley was an Artist for the Dead), Huey Lewis, Steve Miller Band, and just too many other celebs to include here.

Mark Danforth Lomas San Francisco Channel 36 Stand Up Comedy Mid 80s

In the mid-eighties, I did standup as a comedy duo that introduced me to the world of stand-up comedy in San Francisco. Before embarking on going it alone I took some acting classes at College of Marin while bartending at the Punch Line in San Francisco.  This is one of my earlier performances and it's a little rough, ok it's really rough,  but I had a good time going up in front of multiple cameras and an audience.
