Headshine opens for Bob Marley's Original Wailers @ House of Blues Anaheim November 18, 2012. Doors open 7pm. Showtime: 8pm. All Ages. $17.50 Advanced / $20 DOS. Address: 1530 South Disneyland Drive Anaheim, CA 92802. Tickets available through Ticketmaster and Houseofblues.com

In 1974 when Bob Marley went solo, on the brink of international stardom, he surprised the music community by choosing as his lead guitarist the soft spoken, American-born Al Anderson. It was Anderson’s stunning lead work on such classics as No Woman, No Cry, Dem Belly Full and Curfew (Three O’ Clock Road Block) that first alerted rock fans to the Wailers’ music. Over a billion dollars worth of Marley’s music featuring Al Anderson’s evocative guitar work has been sold worldwide. Al has also played with the legendary Peter Tosh, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones, Steel Pulse, Aswad, Inner Circle, Traffic and Ben Harper.

Junior Marvin joined Marley as singer/guitarist during the sessions for Exodus and Kaya albums, shortly before the band’s legendary appearance at London’s Rainbow Theatre in ’77. Junior has also to his credit worked with Ike & Tina Turner, Steve Winwood, Linda Lewis, T-Bone Walker, Billy Preston, Chris Wood in both the US and UK. In 2011, Junior Marvin departed the group.

Al Anderson is the sole original member of the Wailer's classic line-up in The Original Wailers. The reformed configuration includes Desi Hyson (Vocals/Keyboards), Steve Samuels (Bass Guitar), Paapa Nyarkoh (Drums) and Marty Batista (Keyboards and Organ) that carry forward the true spirit and realities of the original music and the message of “One Love”.

The eldest son of reggae legend Bob Marley and his wife Rita, he began his musical career playing with his father and siblings on the song “Children Playing in the Streets” in 1979. The siblings became known collectively as Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers and together recorded nine albums between 1985 and 1999 including Grammy winners Conscious Party, One Bright Day, and Fallen is Babylon. The band also had a side focus on children’s entertainment, contributing to Disney’s album For Our Children, benefiting the Pediatric AIDS Foundation; Sesame Street, and Arthur, among others.

In 2001 Ziggy became more politically active, particularly as an advocate for underprivileged children while over the years continued his work in children’s entertainment. He served as Good Will Youth Ambassador for the United Nations, created the Jamaican label Ghetto Youths and founded U.R.G.E (Unlimited Resources Giving Enlightenment). He also remained active in many other philanthropic organizations and worked on numerous children and family programs including “Shark Tale”, “Family Matters” and “Charmed”.

In 2003 Marley released his first solo album, Dragonfly, to much critical acclaim, followed by Love Is My Religion in 2006 and Family Time in 2009, which earned him his fourth and fifth Grammy Awards. 2011 marked his 30th year of musical success, with no sign of it ?slowing down.

Mixing acoustic coastal-rock and a feel-good vibe, HEADSHINE takes you on a free spirited ride up the coast with a soundtrack of life, love and the space between. In spring 2009, a song that RAS wrote, sang and played on acoustic guitar caught the ear of major label producer Jim Perkins (Big B, Scott Russo, Chali Tuna, OPM, Pato Banton). Jim showed the one-take demo to his business partner Andrew Nast along with some other close friends in the music industry. For some reason, they wanted to hear more.

With a fresh California sound and songs about living life to the fullest, this emerging artist from Huntington Beach is now earning the love and support of fans from a 30 city Fall and Summer west coast tour. HEADSHINE has performed at Idaho State University, San Diego State University, Cal State University Long Beach and Whitworth University in Spokane Washington, and after recently opening for the national rock band Lit, England's renown English Beat, and Jamaican reggae legend Prezident Brown, better things are coming and the future looks bright. HEADSHINE is now booking more US tour dates and the new CD "BETTER THINGS" is now available on iTunes.

"“Lead-singer and songwriter, RAS, more or less coined the term for his band. “Headshine” represents a good vibe when things automatically click and the moment is just right. It’s like catching the perfect wave - the feeling of being in-sync with yourself and the elements.

This synchronizing of sound and style is felt throughout the EP. RAS sings like an artist who has been through a lot and is only beginning to bare all. The Huntington Beach singer/songwriter has cultivated a surfer/acoustic sound with a touch of reggae and California sunshine.

In “Better Things,” the first track off Headshine’s EP, the message is straightforward and light. RAS sings in his charismatic voice, “Better things are coming my way/Never giving up/The best is yet to come.” While “Better Things” might have a touch of premonition to its lyrics, “One Spark” and “Devil in my Bed” are in tune with a more Latin-feel. “Devil in my Bed,” with a hint of Ricky Martin-suavity, is a fun and sexy song to listen to.

It has to be stated here: RAS’s song-writing is simple yet the final product is movingly so. His talent lies in his ability to craft life, love, and all the spaces in-between into his lyrics. His voice provides many textures to the music tapestry, so that there is not one word that fully encompasses his style. With the backing of major-label producer, Jim Perkins and with the premiere of his first single “Better Things” on San Diego’s 91X, things are definitely looking up for the singer/songwriter. RAS knew what he was talking about when he sang “the best is yet to come.” -Performer Magazine, writer: My Nguyen

Planet Squared promoted a nationwide contest that challenged our customers to create an original artwork based on the question: Why is Planet Squared "Furniture for the Future?". The best entry would have their name and artwork published in Planet Squared eNews and would also be given their choice of winning one of our Resourceful Living Arrangements™ including delivery to their front door for free! Well... we're proud to say that all of the entries we received were very inspiring and would like to thank and congratulate all that entered! The 2001' Grand Prize Winner of Planet Squared's Ecological Extravaganza who answered the question correctly is: William Forester of Los Angeles, California, USA! William won his choice of a "Ju-el" delivered to his home for free as well as having his artwork featured here.

To find out a little more about him... we asked William to share with us what inspired his work. Mr. Forester, a 28-year-old avid artist and surfer told us he's tired of paddling out in polluted water and getting sick. "Instead of accepting it... I've directed my angst towards ignorant, selfish humans who continue to destroy our planets fragile ecosystem. Though it's sad to see people live their entire life completely oblivious, I feel my artwork helps some to understand that planet Earth is a precious gift to share not a commodity to horde. To grow up watching countries exhaust our planets resources, pollute the environment then, fight over who owns a piece of it is pathetic and deplorable. Planet Squared shows us we can live in harmony. Long live those squared to the P." The artwork shown here incorporates a view of planet Earth taken by the orbiting spacecraft Clementine.
