May Pang has always seen life through a lens—drawn to the quiet, honest moments that often go unnoticed. During her time with John Lennon in the 1970s, she began capturing those moments—candid, unposed glimpses into a world few ever saw. What started as personal snapshots became a visual record of music, love, and life during one of the most unforgettable eras in rock history.

Her photographs aren’t just images—they’re stories, memories, and pieces of a time that still lives on through every frame I share.

A band well known for bringing back the “classic rock show,” chock-full of retro 70s-inspired style. Kaeden Keys (guitar, vocals), Ryder King (guitar, vocals), Jude Pfanstiel (bass, vocals), and Nick Schwartz (drums, vocals), are restoring a style of music that has been dwindling over the past 30 years: rock and roll. This vintage style of showmanship isn’t just for the stage, as it can be heard on their 2023 self-titled debut album The Velvet Daydream. The band partnered with experts in the art of recording, using holy grails of equipment once used on records from Foreigner, Julian Lennon and Dream Theater.

Preacher Stone began as guitarist Marty Hill’s vision of creating a world class southern rock band in the image of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Hill enlisted lead vocalist Ronnie Riddle. The first song the two wrote was “Not Today” which appeared on the Fox Network’s hit series “Sons of Anarchy” which gained the band notoriety in the southern rock world and lead to the band being exposed to a worldwide audience through the Lynyrd Skynyrd Simple Man Cruise and the Rock Legends Cruise with ZZ Top.
