Ross Valory, Journey founding member

After accepting the top honor at the Billboard Touring Awards for “Legends of Live”, I was able to speak with Ross Valory for a brief moment to get his advice for musicians.

Ross Valory is Journey’s noted bass player. He and Neal Schon, who also accepted the Billboard award, are the only original members of the band still performing with the group. Ross Valory also played for The Vu, The Storm, Frumious Bandersnatch and the Steve Miller Band.

The Suga Mamas: Beyonce’s All-Girl Band

If you’ve been to a Beyonce concert within the past few years or have seen her perform live on TV, you’ve most likely noticed the lovely ladies behind the instruments, locking down the groove. These ladies would be the Suga Mamas, Beyonce’s all-girl band.

We were fortunate to catch up with a few of them while they were in Philadelphia during their US tour. Marcie Chapa, percussionist, Kim Thompson, drummer, Tia Fuller, sax, and keyboardist, Brittani Washington spoke with us about everything from their experiences growing up to the importance of networking and their advice for your music career.
