    logo_greenlightSedona AZ (March 26, 2015) – Green Light, Sedona’s ever-popular original-rock band, returns to Vino Di Sedona Saturday March 28, 8-11 p.m.

    Led by New York City alumni Chicky Brooklyn and Tommy Acosta, along with local-musical luminaries Uncle Marc Wolin, Robin Miller, Eddy Barattini and Mike Leibowitz in the ensemble, this band has become one of Northern Arizona’s most popular original rock ‘€˜n’€™ roll vocal harmony groups.

    Their songs, all original compositions, span the full gamut of human emotions, from loves lost to loves gained and everything in between, each telling a musical story in a way everyone in the audience can relate too and sing and dance along with.

    The band’€™s name very well captures the spirit of the music they write and play.

    “€œWhy do people like green lights,”€ Chicky asks? “€œWell, a green light tells us we can go; that it’€™s safe to move forward. A green light tells us we are in the right path; that we can keep on going without interruption. No need to stop or slow down. All systems go. You got the right answer.”€

    Tommy chips in “€œWe love green lights in our lives because they tell us the path to our dreams is clear. No stop signs. No red lights — just full-steam ahead into the future.”€

    For Green Light the band, that’s’s what the music they write and perform is all about: a “€œgreen light”€ to play songs that live forever in your heart.

    “€œIt an act of courage to go out there and play only original music,”€ Chicky said. “€œThere are a lot of good bands out there that can really rock cover tunes but very few who play their own stuff and get work. People really like us. People like the tunes. And we like to play.”€

    Composed mostly of baby boomers, the band is capturing a much younger audience as well.

    “€œI guess it’s because we’€™re basically a bunch of old guys playing new music,”€ Tommy said. “€œThe songs remind us of when we we€™re young. They are not songs of the past but songs of the now where we are in our lives. It’s such a trip watching people in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s to 70’s rocking away on the dance floor to our jams. It’s like being on stage at the high-school dance once more all over again. It’s Deja Vu all over again, to borrow a phrase from Yogi. I guess the youth out there pick it up and get swept into the feel along with us. We all become kids again.”€

    Chicky said the band is really happy to return to Vino Di Sedona.

    “Playing there is always a special treat for us,”€ Chicky said. “€œWe like to look at this place as our “€˜Cavern”€™, the club in England where the Beatles started.”€

    Vino Di Sedona is located in West Sedona directly across from the Circle K, 2575 W. SR 89A, (928) 554-4682. Visit VinoDiSedona.com or visit greenlightrocks.com for more.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
