JET RED released their self-titled album in 1989. They rocked Northern California from then until the early 1990's. After seeing their amazing live show, I was and still am a fan. Willie Hines, lead singer, guitarist, and song writer, is an amazing performer. This band was as tight as any hard rockin' band at the time. The twin guitar sound of Johnny Feikert and Willie Hines coupled with the driving bass of Brad Lang was accented by their superb vocals to give a lush, melodic rock sound that is sorely missing in today's rock scene. Their press kits tell it all but hear it for yourself..
Sadly, their record label, Relativity Records, did little to promote the band or the album and they had to finally call it a day. They disbanded not as enemies but as friends that realized that the music scene had changed and they were on the outside looking in (thank you grunge music....). But do not despair as Willie Hines continues to make music. His first solo project was a natural extension from his past. This first solo album is available on compact disc and is well worth the money. Willie put together the Willie Hines Band and started playing live gigs here and there as well as working on another album.

Family and friends,
As many of you know already, Phil Kennemore was recently diagnosed with metastaic cancer. Phil has undergone a barrage of tests, a long hospital stay at Stanford, an operation, and will soon start aggressive chemotherapy to regain his health and get him back with the band on stage again.
Because of this and potentially more treatments to come, I have put together a fund for Phil so that people from around the world can make donations to help him with his enormous medical bills. I have set up a page for this Fund and you can visit it at the link below, for more information on how you can contribute.
