    logo_soundbitesgrillSedona AZ (March 5, 2019) – Get ready Sedona! Sound Bites Grill has some fabulous Blues bands performing this weekend for their first annual Blues Festival featuring Jayboy Adams with Zenobia and Twisted Sister on Friday March 8th and Carvin Jones on Saturday March 9th.

    Sound Bites Grill is an entertainment restaurant in Sedona that features live music every night in their show room. Last fall they hosted a Jazz Festival with national and worldwide touring acts and they are duplicating the experience with some fabulous touring Blues bands this weekend.

    Listen to what some of the best are saying about Carvin Jones… “The King of the Strings” was voted one of the 50 greatest blues guitarists of all-time by Guitarist Magazine. “Carvin Jones is a young cat out of Phoenix who I think is the next up-and-coming blues player” – Eric Clapton. “Carvin Jones is one of the brightest young stars on the blues scene today” – Albert Collins. “The New King of Strings is Carvin Jones” – Buddy Miles

    20190305_Carvin-JonesCarvin Jones is an explosive blues guitarist and vocalist who has played in 37 countries on 3 continents and has been well received by critics and fans alike. Carvin currently averages around 330 live performances a year. The Carvin Jones Band will definitely be rocking Sedona.

    In the Summer of 2018 Carvin Jones completed his first ever American Hard Rock Cafe Tour – performing exclusive dates at Hard Rock Cafes in Boston, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Denver, Seattle, Indianapolis, Tampa, Phoenix, and Anchorage. Carvin is currently in negotiations for many more locations in the USA, Canada, and Europe!

    Carvin’s LP, “What a Good Day” was released on December 27, 2017. This album is a limited release of 11 tracks that he performed on select tour dates all over the world.

    On Saturday March 9th at 7 p.m. you will have a chance to hear some of the songs from his LP and many more. The doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m. This is a ticketed event and it is suggested to pre-purchase tickets to guarantee a table. Seating is social so you sit with other people.

    20190305_Jay-Boy-ZenobiaPerforming for their second time at Sound Bites Grill, Jay Boy Adams with Zenobia and Mister Sister (aka Josh English and Trixie Merkin) will be performing Friday Night March 8th at 7 p.m. Doors open at 5:30 for dinner. The venue is a set up where you may enjoy dinner and entertainment in their show room (a modern day supper club).

    This exciting Santa Fe / Texas based band is head up by one of  the top-5 Americana Chart artists, Jay Boy Adams who has toured with ZZ Top and Stephen Stills. Zenobia has performed on Broadway and on numerous recordings.

    Jay Boy Adams spent a number of years honing his craft playing in bands in Houston and then in Midland, Texas with noted bluesman Johnny Heartsman. In 1972 Adams landed an opening slot in Lubbock for ZZ Top, whose manager Bill Ham was impressed enough to recruit Adams as the group’s regular opening act.

    After four years on the road with ZZ Top Adams hit the touring circuit in earnest again for the next six years, sharing concert bills with such artists as The Allman Brothers Band, Joe Cocker, Jackson Browne, Marshall Tucker Band, Bonnie Raitt, The Kinks and many others.

    Country star Lee Roy Parnell invited Adams to join him onstage at a show in 1997, and his songwriting muse and love for playing guitar and performing returned with a vengeance. He has since toured on George Strait’s 1999 Country Music Festival, headlined the Kerrville Folk Festival and also toured Europe as a special guest star with The Texas Tornados.

    Following the 2007 release of The Shoe Box, he hit the road again as a special guest opening for Stephen Stills. Adams has also joined the Southern rock super group Brothers of the Southland alongside such notables as Jimmy Hall of Wet Willie, Henry Paul of The Outlaws and Blackhawk, “Dangerous” Dan Toler of the Allman Brothers, Steve Gorman of The Black Crowes, Bo Bice of “American Idol” fame and other top players.

    Jay Boy Adams is now touring with Zenobia and has the great pleasure of having a fantastic band! Check out www.jayboyadamsandzenobia.com to get a taste of the evening.

    The Blues Festival will kick off on Thursday evening March 7th with local musicians Eric and Robin Miller performing Blues from 6-9 p.m. Eric and Robin are a fantastic father and son duo who are loved by audiences of all ages. They perform every Thursday evening at SBG with a lot of their original music, but this Thursday the performance will have be heavily influenced with the Blues.

    Sound Bites Grill is located at Hyatt Pinon Pointe Shops in Sedona Arizona at the Hyatt Residence Club. The venue is open for lunch and dinner daily from 11:30 a.m. until 9 p.m. and until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings.

     THE MOMENT IS UPON US

    Dear Sedona,

    The moment is upon us. The time for a united effort to shift the focus back to our community is now.

    The ability to thrive in our community, our environment, our workforce, and the tourist industry, is entirely possible because we have all the resources needed for success.

    Still, we need a council that isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions, that makes decisions based on data and facts, and through discussion, rather than moving and voting in group unison as they so regularly do.

    This is my home. I have been a part of the Sedona community for 28 years. I witnessed the road debacle, the lack of planning, the city circumventing the local businesses ability to thrive, while making choices to expand the local government and be in direct competition with private industry.

    I am a unique candidate because unlike the incumbents, I don’t believe the government should expand in size, nor in operations, nor would I attempt to micromanage every aspect of our community.

    City government should stay in its lane and allow the competitive market of local private industry to prosper. And it should defend our community from corporate takeover and infiltration of our town.

    I do not agree that we should sign onto International Building Codes and regulations by signing Sedona up to the ICC. It is imperative that we remain a sweet, rural community.

    Where are the arts? Where is this organic thriving element that we allege to be animated by. Where is our culture? Where is our community?

    The discord between the decision making process and the desires of the community have never been more clear. It has been nearly a decade in the making.

    It is time for a new era of energy to take charge. An energy that is reflective in the ability to succeed rather than be trapped in out of date consciousness.

    It has been a great honor meeting with each of you. I hear your concerns over the insane and out of control spending and I echo them. A budget of $105,000,000 in a town of 9700 residents is completely unacceptable. A parking structure (that looks like a shoe box) originally slated to cost 11 million, now projected to cost 18 million, is incomprehensible. Especially, considering there is no intention of charging for parking.

    For those who are concerned that I lack the political experience within our established system- that is precisely what Sedona needs… Not another politician, but instead a person who understands people, who listens to the voices within the community, and who will act in service on their behalf with accountability, for the highest good of Sedona. What I am not, will prove to be an asset as I navigate the entrenched bureaucracy with a fresh perspective. Business as usual, is over.

    Creative solutions require new energy.

    Every decision that is made by our local government, must contemplate Sedona first.

    • Does this decision benefit the residents?
    • Does this decision benefit the local businesses?
    • Does this decision actually help the environment?
    • Will this decision sustain benefit in the future, or will it bring more problems?

    What we have now is a city government that expands to 165 employees for 9700 residents. Palm Desert has 53,000 residents and 119 city employees. Majority of our city department heads are not even in town. I find this problematic.

    Efforts towards championing in and courting new solutions for our medical needs are imperative. We are losing our doctors. We must encourage competition with other facilities rather than be held hostage by NAH, who clearly have their own set of dysfunctions.

    We must remember that so many move to Sedona for its beauty, hiking, and small town charm. Bigger, faster, and more concrete does not, in broad strokes, fit the ethos of Sedona.

    The old world must remain strong here in balance, as that is what visitors want to experience. Too many have noted that Sedona has lost its edge and charm.

    As Mayor I will preserve the rural charm of our community, and push back against the urbanization that is planned for Sedona.

    As mayor I will make it a priority to create opportunities to support our youth.  After school healthy, enriching programs should be created for our kids, and available to the Sedona workforce regardless of residency and regardless of school they belong to.

    As Mayor, I will create an agenda to deliberately embody the consciousness of our collective needs here, allowing private industry to meet the needs of our community rather than bigger government.

    I hope to have your vote on Aug 2nd. I am excited and have the energy to take on this leadership role with new eyes, community perspective, and the thoughtful consciousness that reflects all ages of the human spectrum.

    Thank you deeply for your consideration.

    Sincerely,

    Samaire Armstrong

    Armstrong vs. Jablow: The Main Event
    Ready to Rumble

    By Tommy Acosta
    In the Blue Corner stands Scott Jablow and in the Red Corner of the ring stands Samaire Armstrong, ready to rumble to the bitter end in their fight to become the next Sedona mayor. Jablow weighs in with 1,137 primary election votes (36.13%) under his belt, having wielded his advantage as sitting Sedona City Council vice-mayor to his favor. He brings his years of serving in that capacity into the fray and waged a solid fight in his campaign to make it to the run-off. Armstrong, however withstood a blistering smear campaign from the other opposing candidates and their supporters to make it to the final bout with 967 votes under her belt (30.73%), an amazing feat for a political newcomer. Unfortunately, for the other two candidates, Kurt Gehlbach and sitting mayor Sandy Moriarty, neither put up enough of a fight to make it to the championship bout. Read more→
