The newest Live Music TV show coming soon to your favorite musical channels… The debut TV episode features Jenna Mammina and Rolf Sturm.
"Plugged In and Turned On in Paradise" is our new hour-long, music-based TV series highlighting the amazing musical talents that are the hidden gems of the West Coast. Based loosely on the popular television show “Live from Daryl’s House,” the series will be filmed at “Clay-Ville,” the Paradise recording studio owned by musician/engineer and producer Clay Reid. Other locations slated for the serie
s include Chapelle de L'Artiste (Paradise) and a variety of interesting venues in and around Chico, Lake Tahoe and elsewhere in Northern California. Joining Clay on the production is a team friends:
Brian Peterson, production advisor. Brian produces some of the most beautiful video productions we’ve seen, including television commercials for numerous businesses and several California State Agencies, including PG&E, CAL FIRE, and others. Fred Hayden, executive in marketing and product development at Apple, Johnson & Johnson, FCB and several leading advertising firms, as well as a veteran Silicon Valley consultant, heads up the marketing efforts. We are fortunate to have as friend and advisor for our production Scott Ross, an American digital media executive with a career spanning three decades. Scott began as President of One Pass Video in the early 80’s, producing almost all of MTV’s early music videos. He then led Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light and Magic for George Lucas through the 90’s, and under his direction ILM won five Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects. In 1993, with partners James Cameron and Stan Winston, Scott co-founded Digital Domain – one of the largest digital production studios in the motion picture and advertising industries. Under Scott’s leadership Digital Domain has won both Academy Awards and dozens of Clio Awards. Scott served as the executive producer for the company’s feature film, “Second Hand Lions,” which achieved both box office and critical success. Nashville producer and talent agent Marty Marmor will help with talent wrangling and promotions, and our house band of tremendous local and Bay Area musicians will bring their magic to support our featured artists. Our music director Terry Smith, is charged with harnessing the very best of these “Clay-Ville” musicians and illuminating our featured artist’s subtle and hidden talents as well as their very apparent ones. Jenna was the obvious first choice because of her superb musicianship –and it doesn’t hurt that she is telegenic, smart and charming, as well as a natural storyteller who is sure to captivate our audience. Already on board for future episodes are:
• Keyboard wizard Martin Gerschwitz, of " the Animals" and " Iron Butterfly" fame and an incredible performer.
• Rock Hendricks, the #1 jazz sax player with 9 consecutive #1 Billboard jazz hits in the last 5 years, including Paul Hardcastle's top performing CD on the jazz charts. We hope you’ll join us on our adventure of presenting the many extraordinary musical talents hiding among the golden hills and the rest of our beautiful West Coast.

I've loved the band Chicago Transit Authority since they first appeared on the scene in 1967... Several of my teenage horn-keyboard bands played their songs...
Later when I got involved in the LA recording business, I got to spend time with the entire original band at "Sun Spectrum", the Santa Monica/Venice beach recording studio in 1975... There, I also became aware of a hot Hollywood producer David Foster, who has become a favorite over the years. He, in those coming years, wrote/produced and inspired some of Chicago's highest charting music ( although his demeanor was a hurdle for some of the band members, it was certainly a net gain for the group...)
