Guest Occupation: Robotics teacher, is the creator behind Magpie Mill Jewelry
Guest Biography:

It is difficult to describe who Triin Uustalu is. She has worked as a professional programmer but has also dedicated her life to learning to know the real world, human soul and little things in life. Her inner child has been her life-long companion, urging her to explore new and exciting themes. Inspired by it, she has learned glass cutting, growing watermelons, smelting and forging iron smelting, weaving on the loom, the dialect of doves, woodworking, ice-skating (something she disliked as a child), horseback riding, silversmithing, welding and more. She also built a small treehouse (her children applauded to that), a brick stove, made furniture, many lamps, and other wonderous things. She discovered that there is much more to all of these adventures than just technical aspects, so she has written several manuscripts about them.

Triin lives with her children in a small village in Estonia, works as a robotics teacher, is the creator behind Magpie Mill Jewelry and writes about discovering the world.

A life crisis inspired her to completely change her personal, love and business life. This was a turning point in Kinga’s life. She started to heal the past, stepped into her unique gift and became a free, strong woman, leading by her own example.
Kinga helps women to step into their inner power, connect with the heart and never hold back their truth. Kinga’s clients get amazing results.

Guest Biography:

Jane Rose and The Deadend Boys are an Alt-Country, Rockabilly, Blues band hailing from Nashville, TN. Fronted by the powerhouse vocals of Jane Rose, and backed by the rhythmic stylings of some of Nashville's finest musicians, you'll hear them coming from a state away!  The band was founded in 2010 stemming from Jane’s life-long love affair with the culture and styles of these genres.

They tour the country extensively and are featured at many hot-rod/car shows year round. Make sure to take notice, this band is a force to be reckoned with!

    
Jane Rose (vocals/guitar/songwriter)
Jane Rose grew up fast and mean and, at age 13, she committed her first heinous act of cold bloodedness… 3 men lost their souls, consumed by Jane’s powerfully sultry and soulful voice.  Jane got caught up in the heat of the moment while overtaking her fourth victim, and was sent to lock down in the Muhlenberg Penitentiary. Jane found redemption playing violin in the penitentiary church band, and harnessed the power of her soul and heartache-filled past into her music and song-writing. This purge led to the creation of such songs as How Could You and Death Becomes Him (available on the CD Poultricide).

Upon her release from Muhlenberg, she formed The Jane Rose Band, belting out over 50 original songs during their five-year run in the Louisville, KY area. But once again, Jane’s voice landed her behind bars. During her short incarceration, she scoured the land of craigslist, posting ads in search of musicians as crazy as she, who wanted to live out of a van and travel to every po-dunk town across all corners of the world. Jane just couldn't resist the calling of the slappin’ upright bass and the quick-cut time beat of the drums - and that Gretsch hollow body she had been drooling over since age 13. She assembled a group of deadend boys that perfectly fit the bill. The day she was released, The Deadend Boys snatched her up in the murder van and they’ve been on the road ever since.

Well behaved women rarely make history. -Marilyn Monroe
(...so let’s f*** shit up! -Jane Rose)

Guest Biography:
Rock Newman is a beloved prodigal son of the D-M-V. He could also be described as an advocate for athletes, celebrities and the person on the street. Whatever words are used, Rock Newman is never described as anything less than engaging, sincere, energetic and caring. After a journey that has included stops in Las Vegas and Bermuda, Rock returns to the area he loves the most. “I enjoyed my time in Las Vegas and Bermuda, but they never became home. Ahhh... It's great to be back!”
 
Rock Newman returns to the Washington, DC region with vast experiences and relationships to revisit his roots in radio. The year 2013 saw Newman add a new media recipe to his broadcasts, which included streaming video and worldwide online discussion. Keeping with his sub-theme of innovation, THE ROCK NEWMAN SHOW is archived online, so that his followers can continue the discussion in a seamless basis. The show activates traditional and new media to create a non-stop dialogue.
 
“I have visited with Pope John Paul II, President Bill Clinton and President Nelson Mandela, met dictators and monarchs, dined with moguls and movie stars, but my greatest joy is family, friends and being amongst the people.”

The RNS delivers big name guests, experts and common folks who care about modern day, real life issues.
 
Rock asks, “What Do You Care About?” THE ROCK NEWMAN SHOW was created to capture an authentic dialogue that is rarely heard. It will be an unscripted, jazz concert that swings from breaking news to undiscovered history, from local and national politics to the nuance of race and religion, from adult relationships to children’s voices about their world, race relations and unvarnished racism.

Guest Biography:

J Lee and The Hoodoo Skulls are an explosive, instantly addictive blues rock band from the UK. As heard on Planet Rock Radio & twice Classic Rock Magazine 'Tracks of The Week' with our latest singles. NEW album 'Beggars Soul' June 25.

J Lee and the Hoodoo Skulls from Surrey UK announce their groove laden and down-right-dirty rocking 2nd album ‘Beggars Soul’ which is due for release June 25 on CD and all platforms. 

The album opens fiercely and swinging with ‘Baby Blue’ of which was duly a Classic Rock Magazine Track of The Week and aired by Planet Rock - sure to become a firm fan favourite. ‘Come Home’ offers up lashings of hooks with each passing moment, all wrapped up with buckets of attitude and fuzz guitar. 

Fronted by J Lee, with Harun Kotch (Lead Guitarist and co writer/producer with the band), Wayne Riches (Drums - formerly with Skin of Skunk Anansie) and Mike Hartnett (Bass), create a sound so punchy you'll have to pinch yourself to remember that they come from the UK. Gutsy, edgy, raw are just some of the words that have been used to describe their sound.
 
‘Beggars Soul’ shines like the jewel of a crown along with more soaring vocals and a ripping guitar solo and ‘Get Over You’ later in this collection adds to the ride. The band expose another side to them in ‘Need You So Bad’ where J Lee’s impressive range is showcased in full, with soaring falsetto and heartfelt lyricism. There’s some truth in the adage that the oldies still have something to say; it climaxes with more fifties rock ‘n’ roll swagger with ‘My Baby Don’t Sing The Blues’, providing a modern twist upon a tried and tested recipe to taste, of course.
 
The bluesy, roots album is littered with rocking riffs, sassy brass and a gripping sound from recording sessions at The Old Chapel, a recording studio in an actual church in Chichester UK. It garners an earthed authentic sound, of which the album allows the listener to discover and dig again into. Their latest single ‘Let Your Hair Down’ with its fan engaged video, was also featured in Classic Rock Magazine’s ‘Tracks Of The Week’ and aired on a plethora of stations.

“We would have loved to have our album out sooner, but we all know what’s been going on in the world.” J Lee muses, “We can say that it’ll be worth the wait and people will be rewarded for their patience, after asking us for months where it is!”

Lo-Fi riff laden gutsy rock with powerful vocals that you can dance to? Fifties rock n roll sensibilities with added modern anthemic spice? That’ll be J Lee and The Hoodoo Skulls.
