Island Rhythm

10/18/2026

Sunday morning coffee in the Utah desert. Spent 12 years living in Salt Lake City, and it’s always good to be back in this part of the world. From the snowcapped Wasatch Mountains to the red rocks of Moab, there’s some pretty amazing country out here.

Been spending time with my oldest daughter at her home among these red rock mountains. Getting out, exploring, and enjoying some time together. Hard to beat that.

Fortunate Youth got the morning rolling, with some Mike Love and Natalie Rize before drifting into the older roots sounds of T***s and the Maytals and the Abyssinians. Now it’s about time to head out for another desert adventure with some old roots reggae and Grateful Dead along for the ride. Seems like a fitting soundtrack to me.

I’ve always loved nature in whatever form it takes. Mountains, deserts, Florida swamps, Caribbean beaches, or just sitting in the backyard watching the birds carry on. There’s something worth appreciating everywhere if you take the time to notice. And while I love seeing what’s around the next bend, there’s a whole lot to be said for enjoying where you are and who you’re sharing it with.

Anyway, the coffee’s about gone, the music’s still playing, and there’s some desert waiting to be explored.

Peace be the journey…

So somehow I’m sitting at #6 in my group for Top Host.

Which is pretty funny considering most days I’m just bouncing between music, helicopters, Island Rhythm, random stories and some old school music playlist I accidentally created before breakfast.

Maybe that is the show.

Anyway, you can vote once every 24 hours for free.

If you feel like sending a little good energy my way, hit the link and drop a vote.

More surprises in the works too.

We’ll see where the road goes.

Saturday morning.

Coffee in the cup, vinyl on the turntable, guitar within reach, and nowhere I need to be in a hurry.

A little music. A little quiet. Let the day find its own rhythm.

Hope your weekend starts the same way. Easy, grounded, and with something good playing in the background.

Peace be the journey…

This is the kind of weekend we love.

There’s live music happening everywhere today and there’s no way we’re going to catch all of it ourselves.

So wherever you are, who’s playing and where?

Florida, the Carolinas, California, Texas, the Northeast, the islands, wherever. If your town has something going on tonight, drop it below.

Band, solo artist, DJ, venue, brewery, beach bar, backyard stage, festival, little hole in the wall nobody outside your town knows about. Doesn’t matter.

Tag who’s playing, tell us where, and let people know what time it starts.

Somebody scrolling might just find their Saturday night plans because you posted it.

What’s happening in your scene today?

Today, Island Rhythm pauses to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the families who still carry that absence, and the first responders and service members whose lives were forever changed.

Our founder, Shane, was still on active duty in the U.S. Army, only two weeks into a new assignment at Fort Lewis after leaving the 82nd Airborne. Like millions of others, he watched an ordinary morning become a dividing line in history.

There is nothing to promote today. Just remembrance, gratitude and the hope that we continue choosing humanity over division.

Peace be the journey.
