At the End of April

Well, it’s the last day of April 2013, and as we took a moment to reflect on it, we realized (with the help of our “written-all-over” performance calendar) that we’ve had quite an eventful month filled with shows, and appearances from LA to San Diego:

We started out with a live performance on AXS TV’s AXS Live!

Then there was Reggie Calloway’s The Songwriter’s Block. It was a treat as well as a learning experience to meet those who have ‘been there before’.

Back in LA, we did a stint at the Korean Cultural Center. THEN, the following day, the heat showed no signs of letting up, as we performed at The Upland Lemon Festival! We’re so grateful to our fans – they came despite the weather; and even told us afterwards how much they enjoyed our set – especially the new songs! There were even fans holding up a “We Love RAMEKEGA!” sign right there in the front row. It’s moments like those that truly humble us.

We’d like to extend our gratitude to those who help us behind-the-scenes (though they really prefer to not be mentioned – they’ve been there all this time, urging us to keep going!) And, finally, those who, when you say “The sky’s the limit”, look at you funny and say: “What sky?”

RAMEKEGA performs on AXS Live!

Had an amazing time at AXS Live (Los Angeles) this past Monday, April 8th. Hope you all saw the show; but if you didn’t, you can check out the whole show on www.axs.tv. And, here’s one of the songs we did: “It’s Going To My Head”.

Terry Kirkman, Joe Lamanno and RAMEKEGA

On Saturday, July 2, 2011, a sort of musical history was made.  After 20+ years of being absent from the stage, Terry Kirkman (co-founder and long-time member of the quintessential group, The Association) played host, and also performed to a full house at The Coffee Gallery Backstage in Altadena, CA.   The evening also showcased the amazing talents of  Nancy & Phil, Joe Lamanno (bassist for The Association), and Duane Thorin.   Taking the stage as his special guests, RAMEKEGA performed a set and then – to the delight of the author, and the audience – sang a song written by Terry Kirkman called, “Cherish.”

RAMEKEGA at Swoop’s World Late Night

We had a truly wonderful time at Swoop’s World Late Night (Long Beach, CA).  The interview with Hosts Swoop and Peter (and, also Chris and Taylor) was a highlight in our increasingly busy schedule.  Artists such as Grace Slick, have been past guests, and now, RAMEKEGA.  Fellow artists and friends: Raspin Stuwart, Marc Platt, and Dregs of Pele have also been featured.  The broadcast was archived for those who want to listen in at a later time.  Interview link here:  RAMEKEGA on Swoop’s World Late Night
