The World’s Greatest Treasure Hunt at the Gem and Jam Festival
Gem and Jam Festival, being held February 2 – 5 in Tucson, AZ, may have a new venue, but it hasn’t strayed far from its roots. The festival started out as an afterparty for the internationally renowned Tucson Gem and Mineral Show and blossomed into an event capable of standing on its own. This year the festival will be held at the Pima County Fairgrounds, a 640 acre venue in the desert south of Tucson, and will offer camping for the first time to provide a truly immersive experience. However, to ensure festival goers don’t miss out on

Chris Rock Announces Total Blackout Tour
Chris Rock recently announced a new comedy tour titled Total Blackout. This tour marks his first time touring in nine years. The comedian, actor and film producer has always been a natural on the stage with a microphone in his hand. His ability to tap into the raw emotion from a crowd is unique. This tour currently consists of 28 dates from coast-to-coast based around the Total Blackout theme. Chris Rock is such a verbal mastermind that he can take that phrase and turn it in any direction. There are blackouts that often happen with power outages, but they
The Donald Trump Transition Takes Steps in the Right Direction
The Donald Trump transition continues to reshape the political structure of the United States. He has made suggestions for a tax plan that would put a 35% tax on businesses that hire staff outside of the country for lower wages. I strongly back raising taxes on everyone to help get our country out of debt. Another strong suggestion for the Donald Trump transition team is to raise taxes early in his presidency, and turn the tables on the mainstream media. Deep down, I truly believe Trump wants to help this country grow. It doesn't make any sense for him
Kacey Musgraves Adds the Warmth to the Holiday Season with New Music
Kacey Musgraves is a heart-stealing, wheeling, dealing, guitar picking, song-writing, creative talent with a new holiday record titled A Very Kacey Christmas. When I first was introduced to Musgraves' music at the 2015 Bonnaroo Music Festival, I was instantly hooked with her attention to detail within music performance. She is a natural at performing live music. Her captivating presence can be felt on stage, as well as during her interviews. Listen in to her first experience on Willie Nelson's tour bus: https://youtu.be/aWMiFbK5Mzc After touring with Willie, Musgraves later would invite him to guest spot on her latest album A Very Kacey Christmas.
