    logo_soundbitesgrillSedona AZ (June 27, 2018) – Sedona is a summer getaway and natural playground for many. Performing artists from the Phoenix and Scottsdale area also enjoy coming up to play at Sedona’s Sound Bites Grill to beat the heat. This week the entertainment restaurant is excited to have Marley Taylor and Leon J performing in their Celebrity Show Room in addition to local musicians.

    From the sounds of Fleetwood Mac to the current hits of Pharrell, former Las Vegas Headliner/Singer/Songwriter, Marley Taylor, brings her band up for an evening of dinner and dancing on Friday June 29th at 7 p.m.  She sings her ways thru the pop charts alongside bassist and husband, Chris DeHerrera. 

    20180627_marley_taylor_trio_artMarley Taylor, originally from Pittsburgh, grew up singing professionally in Houston at age 12. In 1994 after spending a few years in Nashville, she was signed to Sony Publishing for a songwriting contract. She also appeared on The Nashville Network TV show series Riders in the Sky. After moving to Arizona a few years later, Marley became a staple in the Scottsdale/Phoenix music scene with the popular act Zowie Bowie.

    The group became a hit at Scottsdale’s premier nightclub, Barcelona, later signing with Station Casinos in Las Vegas for a lengthy contract. Voted Best Of Las Vegas, ZB & Taylor quickly became Las Vegas celebrities, headlining the Red Rock Casino, The Palms and The Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino (adding a Vintage Vegas show backed by an 18 piece orchestra in the Lance Burton Theatre).

    Bassist, Chris DeHerrera, also performed for several popular groups in Las Vegas before meeting Marley in 2012. DeHerrera, a Wyoming native, expanded his musical roots into Colorado, where he played bluegrass/country to the Jam band scene.  Chris joined several musical acts in Las Vegas including  the #1 Jim Hendrix tribute band in the country, Zowie Bowie, The Big Payback and others.

    There is a $10 Cover to see Marley Taylor. She will be performing some new original music for her first set. You definitely will want to bring your dancing shoes as she lures you in.

    20180627_leon_PANA9500_t715Saturday Night June 30th at 5:30 p.m.  Leon J (Jay Morton) brings Delta Blues to Sedona with his band based out of Scottsdale. Leon J is a 2011 National Heritage Foundation Blues Hall of Fame Dual inductee as Performer and as Ambassador keeping the lost art of Delta Style Blues alive through his touring, workshops, and educational showcases.

    This show is full of stories of musical history with a style that is influenced from the Delta.

His captivating live performances highlight his vocal and musical talent which has garnered a reputation for uncommonly entertaining audiences with his story telling and musical styles true to the original formats of the early JukeJoint’s on the plantations when featured artists would bring a variety of influence and style to each show.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
