KARL VINCENT
Karl Vincent was raised in the East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area. His deep passion for music started at an early age as he began his music studies at the age of 10 on the guitar, later the violin, and then moved to the bass at 13. From this point on, music experiences came to him from many directions – orchestra, chamber music, jazz, popular music all became major areas of performance.
Rather than accept scholarship offers from many major universities and conservatories, Karl chose to move to Los Angeles and study. His teachers include bass masters Mercurio, Kestenbaum, Egilsson, and his mentor – legendary bassist Red Callender. UCLA took notice of Karl’s potential and he enrolled under a full music scholarship, one of several awards he would receive that also includes a grant from National Endowment for the Arts. While at UCLA, Karl met soon-to-be film composer Christopher Young and from there began a long successful association.
Young introduced Karl to several prominent musicians, composers, and contractors that recognized his unique skills and musicianship lifting his ubiquitous career as a bassist with the Long Beach Opera, Pacific Symphony, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, and the illustrious Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. While living his dream, he has been fortunate to have toured or performed with many notable artists such as Lou Rawls, Woody Herman, Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett, Beyoncé, Josh Groban, Carrie Underwood, Mary J. Blige, John Legend, and countless others; recording credits include Ray Charles, Danny Peck, Fergie, and Jennifer Hudson. But you are more likely to find Karl as a soloist or either in or leading the bass section on TV shows such as Lost and Alias; and feature films like the recent hits Spiderman 3, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and Speed Racer. Although his exceptional classical music skills are well known, this bassist has never let go of his jazz virtuosity and continues to explore popular music and world music grooves, with a focused interest in world music.

Beth Geer's spiritual background is rich and diverse. She has had a multitude of psychic, paranormal, and deeply profound spiritual experiences throughout her life, beginning around the tender age of 5. She comes from a dedicated Catholic upbringing, but has also practiced tarot reading for over 20 years, is a Reiki Level II practitioner, and performs various psychic and medium functions for friends and family.
Though her religious and spiritual background appear to be contradictory, it is this very contrast that has given her an unusual open-mindedness towards God and life. Her spiritual life has now taken a dramatic turn, because something extraordinary has suddenly begun to unfold. Several years ago, after over a decade of studying A Course In Miracles, she began to hear the Voice of the Holy Spirit open up within her, unlocking a powerful message from Him that she is deeply compelled to share with all of us. Beth promises that this message is simple and easy to understand, and that it will change your life forever. Once you hear this message, you won't be able to go back to your old way of being, or look at the world the same again. It is a happy message of love, healing, spiritual transformation, and awakening. Beth doesn't mean to spoil the ending; but everything's going to be okay. Yes, for every last one of us.
Beth lives in a log home on a 40 acre hobby farm in rural Minnesota, with her husband Paul, their two children Miranda and Samuel, along with several horses, too many cats, a moderate flock of chickens, 1 red footed tortoise, some hamsters, and a dog named Freya; who appears to be a loving Rottweiler, but is actually just a very hairy person with four legs. Beth is a pharmacist by day, and in her free time, when not tending to family or animals, she works on extending a message of healing to the world. She currently holds free monthly classes, geared towards hearing your own Inner Voice through deep guided meditation, based upon the teachings contained in A Course In Miracles.

MICHAEL DES BARRES
LEGENDARY ROCKER
WITH SILVERHEAD & DETECTIVE
TV VILLAIN 'MURDOC' ON MACGYVER
SPECIAL GUEST ON THE RAY SHASHO SHOW
Born in Hove, Sussex in January 1948, Michael Des Barres is the son of the 25th Marquis Des Barres (himself descended from a legendary and heroic 13th century French knight) who blew most of his fortune on opium and ended up in jail, and a singer-dancer from Liverpool. Brought up in a Gothic Castle, then essentially raised from the age of eight by strippers (due to his mother’s regular incarceration from schizophrenia) and educated at Repton School, Derbyshire, Michael credits his mother for turning him onto Billie Holiday and Elvis and “incorporating fantasy as a form of defence.”
Michael Des Barres is a perfect example of how perseverance, hard work, and a positive outlook, can achieve many of life’s yearnings. Michael is an incredible story; he embraced his passion for the arts and has never looked back.
Acting lessons at the Corona Stage School led to a supporting cast member role as “Williams,” a London East End pupil on the 1967 British drama, To Sir, with Love starring Sidney Poitier. Besides acting, Michael loved music, especially American blues and rock ‘n’ roll. He formed his first band called the Orange Illusion in his teen years.
In 1972, Michael Des Barres became frontman for British glam rockers and cult icons Silverhead. The band eventually signed with Purple Records (owned by Deep Purple) and released two essential albums, Silverhead (1972) and 16 and Savaged (1973).
Silverhead became a significant role model for future generations of glam rock groups.
After the premature disbanding of Silverhead, Michael Des Barres formed Detective. The band was signed to Led Zeppelin’s Swan Song label by legendary guitarist Jimmy Page in 1975. Detective featured guitarist Michael Monarch (Steppenwolf) and Tony Kaye (Yes). The group recorded three studio albums, Detective (1977), It Takes One to Know One (1978), and their third album was recorded on Atlantic Records but never released. (Michael remains friends with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant).
During this time Michael Des Barres appeared on the WKRP in Cincinnati television episode “Hoodlum Rock” as the infamous Sir Charles 'Dog' Weatherbee of the band Scum of the Earth. (Rob Zombie released a song called “Scum of the Earth” in 2000, and a heavy metal band by the name of Scum of the Earth was formed in 2003).
After the break-up of Detective, Michael Des Barres teamed up with Ex-Sex Pistol guitarist Steve Jones to form Chequered Past. The line-up also included bassist Nigel Harrison and drummer Clem Burke from Blondie, and guitarist Tony Sales formerly of Utopia. (The band recorded one album together called Chequered Past). Des Barres also became the lead singer of the touring and Live Aid version of The Power Station, a Duran Duran spin-off band.
Michael Des Barres penned the world-wide hit “Obsession” with Holly Knight, which became a huge hit for the LA new wave group Animation in 1985.
Des Barres states that he loves performing in front of a live audience in a rock ‘n’ roll band, but he’s also in love with all the arts, and in many shapes and forms. He’s also an accomplished actor and probably best known for playing the infamous villain ‘Murdoc’ on the popular TV series MacGyver and ‘Alex’ in the movie Pink Cadillac.
In April of 2012, Des Barres reunited with Silverhead and all his old mates for the first time in 38 years. The band performed to standing room only audiences in Japan. He’s also recently appeared on the television series The Finder, Suits, and the motion picture California Solo.
Michael has appeared in countless film, television, voice-over and stage roles and his credits are awe-inspiring.
Des Barres has also appeared in “Roseanne,” “Seinfeld,” “Renegade,” “Ellen,” “Nip/Tuck,” “Hart To Hart,” “Melrose Place,” “Nash Bridges,” “Northern Exposure,” “Rockford Files,” “St Elsewhere,” “21 Jump Street,” “Frasier,” “Hawaii,” “Bones” and “NCIS,” among many others.
Michael Des Barres' latest release THE KEY TO THE UNIVERSE, returned De Barres firing on all cylinders and lighting up the rock world as only he can.
Michael is currently the host of Little Steven’s Underground Garage on SiriusXM Radio Channel 21, Michael Des Barres is heard by more than six million listeners, five days a week (5am-8am and 9pm-midnight PT).
But many fans will know him best as the original MacGyver villain, Murdoc — and those fans were in for a treat, when Des Barres/Murdoc returned on February 2nd to CBS’s MacGyver reboot (alongside the new Murdoc, played by David Dastmalchian), in the much-anticipated, sure-to-be-epic “Murdoc vs. Murdoc” episode.

B R O W N E
FORMER LEAD SINGER FOR THE LEMON PIPERS
AND THEIR NUMBER ONE HIT SINGLE
"GREEN TAMBOURINE"
Ivan Browne (vocals/rhythm guitar), Bill Bartlett (lead guitar), R.G. (Reg) Nave (organ), Steve Walmsley (bass) and Bill Albuagh (drums) - made its debut in 1967 with ‘Turn Around and Take A Look’. Its rudimentary style was then replaced by the measured approach of aspiring songwriting/production team, Paul Leka and Shelly Pinz. Together they created a distinctive Lemon Pipers sound, a sparkling mélange of sweeping strings and percussive vibraslaps exemplified on the group’s million-selling hit, ‘Green Tambourine’. The attendant album contained several songs - ‘Rice Is Nice’, ‘Shoeshine Boy’ - which were recorded in a similar style, but the set also contained the startling ‘Through with You’, an extended tour de force for Bartlett’s rampaging guitar work and a surprise for those anticipating easy-on-the-ear fare. Subsequent recordings failed to match their early success, and although a second album, Jungle Marmalade, offered several inventive moments, the Lemon Pipers were tarred as a bubblegum attraction on the strength of that first hit. The group broke up in 1969, although Bartlett later found success as a member of Ram Jam predominantly known for their hit single "Black Betty" in 1977.
IVAN and his wife ISA started traveling together in 1973. They performed in R.I., Hawaii, Alaska and New Hampshire, where they were married and started the IVAN and ISA BAND in October of 1975. Their musical travels continued to Florida and Ohio. In 1977, I and I settled down in Sonoma County, California, where they played 108 consecutive weeks as a house band at Santa Rosa's Ponderosa Club. In May 1981, they once again packed up their equipment and headed for the east coast and traveling through R.I., Ohio, and back to California. In March of 1985, IVAN and ISA bought a ridgetop home in Mendocino County from the "DOOR'S" Ray Manzarek's family.
