"Under the Stars," on the far side of the island, in the courtyard of Historic Wrigley Ranch. Featuring: October 1st - Peter White, October 8th - Mindi Abair, October 15th - Keiko Matsui. An "unplugged" performance from one of the Stars of Smooth Jazz "Under the Stars" in the truly amazing isolation of the Wrigley Ranch where each Thursday Night in October Peter, or Mindi, or Keiko will step forth from the horse stalls to perform in Solo or Trio fashion magically, seemingly in the middle of nowhere! 
Darkness falls... the courtyard fire pits are lit... you and the other audience members are seated on bales of hay just inches from the stage... the Unplugged Concert "Under the Stars" begins! The Unplugged Concert and Barbeque at the Wrigley Ranch is a one of a kind Barbeque Dinner Concert in one of the most remote spots on the Island. Followed by an almost unheard of 'drive by night' back across the Island's Mountain Top! A view back across the Sea of Southern California as few have ever seen from Avalon!
This week Art Good takes us into the life of The Jazz Guitarist of the Era of the 80's. So many of our memories from the 80's were accompanied by the tunes of Earl Klugh. He'll tell why he left his hometown of Detroit in 2001 and relocated to Atlanta, while still cheering on any Detroit Tigers in the upcoming major league baseball All Star Game next week in St. Louis. Earl will take us through A Day in the Life of Earl Klugh. He says it's boring but it'll show he's just normal, and quite humble. And how the huge hit 'Driftin' brought him back into mainstream smooth jazz again last year with plans already being laid for a next album and maybe a 3rd collaboration with Bob James. And his memories of his only trip to Catalina Island, the JazzTrax Debut Year of 1987, along with his excitement for his return to the Avalon Ballroom this October. 
Amazingly as his solo career as one of the SuperStars in Smooth Jazz has continue to soar, especially with his 2007 collaboration with Rick Braun, this 2005 album, 4 years ago is Richard's most recent Solo Project. That fact even caught HIM by surprise. The project contained the JazzTrax 2005 Song of the Year and his cover of the old old classic "People Make the World Go Round" was No. l for virtually 3 months on America's Top 20 Smooth Jazz Countdown. Project also had guests like Peter White and Brian Culbertson and a delightful song for Camella, Richard's wife. You can't miss any Brand New or Archived Album from the Saxman from Escondido, California who lives within a mile or so of the San Diego Wild Animal Park. And he's just the guy who would rush down to ride their new Zip Line. Even as he's finally realized a Brand New CD this Summer, we go back this week to listen to his last Solo Project.
