Huey Lewis and Johnny Colla on the Passing of Brian Wilson

Huey: Terrible news. Brian was among a handful of the most important American popular musical artists of all time. Extremely talented and vastly influential, his music will live on forever.

Johnny: Yours Truly, Brian Wilson, and my bride Christie-Claire . . . a magical backstage dream-come-true moment for me! Hands-down, Brian was my NUMBER ONE musical influence growing up in the early sixties. He made me aware that a chord could have more than three notes, a song could ‘live’ in more than one key, and it was okay for a man to express his deepest feelings on love, relationships, and the world at large. Brian, you now have all the time in the world to write that big chord progression in the sky…

Lost to the Future – The Search for Marty McFly’s Back to the Future Guitar

When it comes to guitars in movies, no guitar was more iconic or more influential than the Cherry Red Gibson ES-345 used by Marty McFly to play “Johnny B Goode” in the movie Back to the Future. That scene has been cited by countless artists as the moment they knew they wanted to play guitar.

One problem: the guitar has been missing since 1985, and no one knows its whereabouts.

Join the filmmakers as they search the globe for the most important guitar in cinema history, all while telling the story of the iconic movie scene that inspired a generation to pick up the guitar.

Huey on the Passing of Sam Moore

Huey: Sad news. Sam Moore has passed away. He was a great talent, an amazing singer, and 1/2 of Sam and Dave, who brought us “Soul Man,” “Hold On I’m Coming,” “Thank You,” and dozens of others. We had the pleasure of working with him on our PBS concert “4 Chords and Several Years Ago” in Chicago. He was wonderful, and it remains one of my/our favorite memories. He could, as they say, “sing the phone book.” His music will live on.

Huey Lewis honors Mill Valley’s Austin De Lone

Huey: Sad news. Local musician Austin de Lone passed away yesterday. He was beloved. A great talent, a great person, and true friend to everyone in the music scene. He played with everyone from Elvis Costello to Jerry Garcia, and was the unofficial “governor” of the Mill Valley music scene. He will be sorely missed.
