Rocksteady Lounge January Schedule

Last Monday we had a surprise guest appearance by saxophonist Dave Hillyard…not DJing, but playing his sax over several instrumentals we spun. His improvisations sounded fantastic. He’s playing Saturday, January 16th at On the Rox (Roxy, Sunset Strip), and with Willi Williams this Wednesday, Jan 13 at the Dub Club (held at the Echo). We’ll post photos and some short video clips soon!

The rest of the month’s line-up is all set…we hope to see you at Akbar!
