Rick Nashe and Dave Burton of BluesStorm, along with their publicist, Carol Nashe, appeared recently on national radio on "Les Kincaid's Lifestyles Las Vegas", an hour and a half of conversation about entertainment, food, wine, and other surprises, while enjoying lunch on air. The unusual talk radio show featured six guests, including BluesStorm, Van V. Heffner, President & CEO of the Nevada Hotel and Lodging Association, and Michael Horn, President & CEO of CRN Networks of Sunland, California. |
| Host Les Kincaid engaged in an in-depth musical discussion with BluesStorm guitarist and songwriter Rick Nashe about the songwriting process, and also talked with BluesStorm lead singer Dave Burton about his transformation from singing rock and roll to the blues. The lunch took place at the famous Aureole restaurant (Chef Charlie Palmers' own), in the Mandalay Bay Hotel. Not only is their food wonderful but they recently won the "Best Wine List In America" award by Wine Spectator Magazine. The show is a nationally-syndicated radio program on the CRN Channel Radio Network, reaching over 28+ million households. Las Vegas tuned in to AM 720 Talkradio. | |
