The Heart of Rock and Roll

         We love all kinds of music. Rock, Country, Soul, Jazz, R+B, Dance, Top 40, and on and on. We have to say our strongest passion is those undiscovered, under the radar, unsigned bands.
       
         We had the privilege of riding our Harley from Florida to South Dakota in August of 2013 to attend The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and stay with one of the hardest working unsigned bands in the country, The Jasmine Cain Band. The reigning 4 time Music City Mayhem Female Rock Vocalist of the Year holds nothing back on or off the stage. We've never seen such hard-working, passionate people with the common goal of playing music for the fans they love so much. A typical day at the event went like this:

Up at 7am for a splash of coffee while checking emails and connecting with fans on social media. Next its folding t-shirts and getting merchandise ready for the days shows. A quick bite to eat and its off to load the equipment into the first venue for the daytime show, before rushing back to the house in a hail storm to get ready to quickly leave for personal appearances at different locations around town, before hauling butt to play the first show..Seems like a full day already huh? Not even close!! After the first show the equipment is broken down, loaded up and taken to the nighttime venue, set up and sound checked before another 2 or 3 set show. Now, after ALL of that its like 1 or 2 am and guess what? The equipment again is broken down and loaded up to start it all over again tomorrow.

           Did we also mention the band stays after each show until every person or fan has gotten the hug, autograph,smile, t-shirt or a kind thank you for coming to see us we hope to see you at our next event, and still have time to go home and unwind in an impromptu jam session in the living room at 3am? These hard working people sure do love what they do and in my opinion is what "The Heart of Rock and Roll" is all about.

            We'd strongly recommend taking the time to check them out at jasminecain.com for event dates and showtimes, merchandise, band bios and more!!   Till next time ...
