Tommy Eliff aka Big Son of The Mighty Mojo Prophets
Do you like the blues? Do you like the blues? Do you like getting funky from your head down to your shoes? The Rockabilly/Blues label Ripcat Records showcased four of their artists over the weekend in Orange County, California. Due to scheduling conflicts, I was only able to catch the first band, The Mighty Mojo Prophets, and I am happy to report - they rocked! They call their style of music “west coast blues” and perhaps they call it that because you’ll feel anything but blue after you hear their music. Most songs were original numbers written by the band, but they also threw in a rockin’ cover of Big Joe Turner’s “Shake, Rattle and Roll.”
The Mighty Mojo Prophets
If you like the blues, you should definitely check out The Mighty Mojo Prophets as well as a host of other talented artists on the Rip Cat Records label.

Tony Ward by Christoph Schmidberger
Los Angeles! One of the most gorgeous men to have ever walked among us, Tony Ward, is being immortalized in an exhibit entitled “Ward of the State” at Rivera and Rivera in West Hollywood. 18 artists (including Greg Gorman, Steven Klein, Patrick Hoelck, Patrick Martinez, Herb Ritts, Estevan Oriol, RETNA, Tony Ward, Paul Rusconi, Bruce Weber, Robert Standish, Michael Gregg Michaud, Jules Muck, Rick Castro, Christoph Schmidberger, Ray Turner and Maya Mercer) have paid tribute to the man and the muse who Paris Vogue called “male icon of the century.” Fashionistas will recognize Tony Ward from his appearances in ads for Chanel, Dolce and Gabbana and Calvin Klein. He has also been prominently featured in Madonna’s racy “Justify My Love” video as well as her “Sex” book.
Pure Hustle by Patrick Martinez
The exhibit is great as you’ll see tributes to the man in paintings, photography and video. You’ll see sides of Tony Ward that you’ve never seen before and you’ll also see sides of him that you’ll want to stare at over and over again.
RETNA
“Ward of the State” is showing at Rivera and Rivera (located at 454 North Robertson Blvd.) in West Hollywood through June 20, 2011.
