    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. Acknowledged as a Music Historian, Leon has been charged with keeping this unique art of Acoustic based roots/folk music inherited from the West African influence, alive and well by ‘connecting the dots’ as to it has evolved over the decades to be the American Modern Music we hear today.

    Leon has a passion for rhythmic interpretation and the stories behind it, in all of his music. 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.

    Leon’s main focus is foot tapping, hand clapping ‘Simply Good Music’ based in Acoustic Delta Blues, Rhythm & Blues, Country, Country blues, and Americana Roots Music, exhibiting an exceptional talent over a true variety of genre, uncommon in most artists today.

    Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are required for this event. The venue is set up with dinner tables in the show room so you enjoy dinner if you choose and enjoy the show.

     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


    Heads or Tails
    By Tommy Acosta
    Let’s face it. I love conspiracy theories. The more far-out the better. Yup. I’m one of those. Looking at the Trump raid fiasco there can only be two theories that I see fit perfectly into the scenario that’s being weaved for public consumption. The first is that what is happening is actually being engineered by the forces that want Trump to return to the White House. Just like with the Russia-Russia thing, what is going to happen after all the hoopla,Trump will be found completely innocent just like before and he will be loved even more by his fans and followers. Those who tried to put him down will be chagrinned while those who supported him politically will be exalted. Republicans will be revived, and they will go out and vote in a new Congress and Trump will rule once again. Then there is the other side of the coin. Read more→
