Froggy 101’s Guitars & Stars
Featuring

Zach Top zachtop.com

Raised in Sunnyside, WA, Zach Top grew up on classic country music around the family farm. At the age of seven, he formed a band with his siblings which set the stage for his musical ambitions.

Hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the “hottest acts right now,” Zach Top is in the midst of a breakout year following the release of his acclaimed debut album, Cold Beer & Country Music. Produced by Carson Chamberlain, the album landed on several “Best of 2024” lists, including Rolling Stone, Billboard and The New York Times, who praises, “the music is airtight and fluent—a demonstration of vivid coloring within hard lines.” Known for his “thrilling” (Holler) live performances, Top recently wrapped an extensive run with Lainey Wilson and kicked off his “Cold Beer & Country Music” headline tour in January. The highly anticipated trek, which includes two nights at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, sold out just hours after tickets went on sale. The CMA Award-nominee has also shared stages with notable artists such as Dwight Yoakam and Billy Strings, and will join Alan Jackson for select upcoming shows. Widely respected by his peers, Top also recently collaborated with Billy Strings for an exclusive Apple Music Nashville Sessions three-song EP, which is available now.

LOCASH locash.com

Named “country music’s iconic feel-good duo” by PEOPLE, LOCASH – Preston Brust and Chris Lucas – are adding a new dimension to their hitmaking career with the launch of their own record label – Galaxy Label Group. With distribution by BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, LOCASH will continue “hitting homers and serving up first-class songs,” as hailed by American Songwriter. With fresh music expected to release in spring, this new era follows back-to-back high-profile collaborations “Let It Slide” (Leslie Jordan, Blanco Brown, LOCASH) and “Beach Boys” (feat. The Beach Boys’ Mike Love and Bruce Johnston). Known for PLATINUM breakout “I Love This Life” and GOLD #1’s “One Big Country Song” and “I Know Somebody,” LOCASH have earned eight charting singles, two successful albums, nearly 800 MILLION global streams, and hold a history of nods from the genre’s biggest awards shows since launching in 2015. Announcing their 2024 partnership with 44 Farms, LOCASH recently supported Kane Brown’s DRUNK OR DREAMING TOUR.

Kelsey Hart kelseyhart.com

After several years of songwriting for other artists under Word Music Publishing, Hart signed his own record deal with Curb Records in January 2023. His debut single, “Life with You”, was released in November 2023, and charted on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. It served as the lead single and title track to his debut studio album, which was released on May 31, 2024.

Hart made his Grand Ole Opry debut on June 28, 2024.

Drew Baldridge drewbaldridge.com

With a voice as rich as the mid-western soil he was raised on, Patoka, IL native, Drew Baldridge’s music reflects small town life while living large on the simple things. Drew’s music is the soundtrack to life, be if a rowdy Friday night or a peaceful Sunday morning. His songs and performances transport listeners to their favorite memories all while making new ones. He has shared the stage with artist’s such as Alabama, Phil Vassar, Montgomery Gentry, and Justin Moore to name a few.

Scranton Jazz Festival Presents

For 55 years, Tower of Power has delivered the best in funk and soul music.“We were a Soul band called The Motowns.” recalls Emilio Castillo. “Rocco was the bass player, I was in there, and my brother was the drummer. I met “Doc” Kupka back in 1968, and gave him an audition. He came in the band, and we eventually changed our name to the Tower of Power.” The reason for the band name change was that they had a specific goal in mind.

“We wanted to get into the Fillmore Auditorium and with a name like the Motowns, dressed in suits with razor cuts, we knew we’d never get in there. We grew our hair long, and started to be hippies, and changed our name. Doc then suggested that we start writing our own songs.”
The Fillmore was a major goal, which came along at the right time. “We had been playing nightclubs, and we had gotten busted for being underage. One night, the ABC came in, and caught the trumpet player drinking, and the next thing we knew, a notice was out across the Bay Area that if they hired us again, clubs would lose their liquor license. Then, my parents moved to Detroit, and I was on my own, broke and hungry, and all I did was rehearse. We wrote the songs for East Bay Grease, and by November, we were at the end of our rope. I told the guys that I was leaving for the holidays, and if nothing happened with this audition, I wasn’t coming back.”

Fortunately, he did, and the rest as they say, is history.

East Bay Grease defined their sound and landed them with Warner Brothers. Bump City, their 1972 debut for the label, was a hit on both the Billboard 200 and the R&B Albums chart, and netted them the hits “You’re Still A Young Man” and “Down to The Nightclub.” The 70s were a boom period with radio classics like “So Very Hard to Go” and “What Is Hip?,” and the band continued to tour and record over the years. Castillo says their love of the stage is the same today as it was back in 1968.

50 years later, in 2018, they returned to Oakland to celebrate their landmark 50th anniversary. Tower’s window-rattling grooves and raucous party spirit has been a balm for the soul throughout their half-century existence, but the release of 50 Years of Funk & Soul: Live at the Fox Theater couldn’t arrive at a better time.

“People come up to me all the time and say, ‘Wow man, 50 years! We can’t believe it,’” laughs Castillo. “You can’t believe it? I’m the one that can’t believe it. We’ve been through a lot of ups and downs and learned a lot along the way. We’ve affected a lot of people’s lives and done a lot of work that we’re very proud of. The band has a real family atmosphere. It’s been very rewarding.”

The band has long since surpassed Castillo’s modest aspirations, traveling the world, enjoying hit singles on their own and backing legendary artists including Otis Redding, Elton John, Santana, the Grateful Dead, John Lee Hooker, Aerosmith, Bonnie Raitt, and countless others. In the process they’ve defined an “Oakland soul” sound as instantly recognizable as those from Castillo’s hometown, Detroit, as well as inspirations like Memphis and Philadelphia.

The future of Tower of Power is set out to be vigorous and dynamic, and will prove to be just that for fans around the world starved for the band’s groove just the way Tower of Power likes it!
