Sound Bites Grill
Hot Old School Rhythm and Blues “Street Life” Band
May 11th, 2013

If you are going to be visiting Sedona, Arizona next Saturday, May 11th and would enjoy kicking back to the blues you will not want to miss The “Street Life” Band live at Sedona’s Sound Bites Grill! Phoenix based Blues Guitarist Lucius Parr and his brother Lamar Parr will be performing from 8:00 pm – 11:00 pm. The Parr Brothers have been part of  The “Street Life” Band for nearly 10 years and have played at clubs throughout the valley and in cities all over Texas. The Street Life Band consists of Lucius Parr on guitar and vocals, Lamar Parr on keyboard and vocals, Vito Robinson on drums, and Dorothy Grayson on vocals.

Long time guitarist, writer and producer, Lucius Parr has opened shows for BB King, Buddy Guy, Lowell Fulson, and Mary Wells. He has performed with Johnny Copeland, Betty Swan, and with his cousin “Master of the telecaster-Albert Collins”. His latest on stage performance was with a long time favorite, Charlie Daniels, which can be seen on YouTube.

Lucius Parr is the cousin of the late Albert Collins and grew up in Yoakum, Texas, influenced by the music of Collins and BB King, among others. These influences can be heard in his unique style of playing. Lucius has performed in bands in the Phoenix area for 30 years, and has recorded five albums of blues, with his most recent CD that was released in February 2012.

Lately we are seeing a funkier R & B side of Lucius. The “Street Life” Band performs many styles of music with intensity and professionalism second to none. Lucius arranges all of the music for his band “Street Life”.

Sound Bites Grill is  located at the Hyatt Pinon Pointe Shops in Uptown Sedona. The restaurant and entertainment venue serves dinner until 11:00 pm on Friday and Saturday Nights. They do not charge a cover to see the music and you can enjoy a great dinner, cocktails and live music. The mission for Sound Bites Grill, which has been referred to as an upscale Hard Rock Café, is to continue to support Live Music and musicians in the Sedona area. The music scene is growing in Sedona and they are focusing on bringing in amazing talent for tourists and local enjoyment.

“Water to Wine Tour” with Sedona Adventure Tours

Posted by LisaPeters on Wednesday, May 1st, 2013 | Comments (0)

Sedona Adventure Tours
“Water to Wine”
Experience the Verde River and Arizona Wine

There are certain tours that are a “must do” when you come to visit the Sedona area. One of my favorites that I suggest to everybody is the “Water to Wine Tour” from Sedona Adventure Tours! When it comes to exploring the Verde River, (Arizona’s only wild and scenic river system) and experiencing the dynamic flavors of Arizona’s wine, this tour is tops.

Your unforgettable experience on the “Classic Water to Wine Tour” begins with a very scenic venture on the Verde River in a Ducky Kayak. If you are new to kayaking, no worries, the kayaks are perfect for beginners and the ride on the Verde River is mild in nature but also offers just enough manageable riffles to add a little excitement! Make sure to bring your camera and keep your eyes open as you travel on the river, you never know what kind of wildlife you will come across! Your Kayak trip ends in the shade of Giant Cottonwood Trees and you will be on your way to taste some of the best wine in Arizona just up the gravel path through the vineyards to the picturesque Tuscan farmhouse at the ever popular Alcantara Vineyards.

A local and tourist favorite on Verde Valley Wine Trail, the Alcantara Vineyard features award winning wines and very friendly sommeliers who guide you through the tasting with knowledgeable information on the aroma, flavor, and color of each wine! And thus your tour ends in the delicate flavors and aroma of Arizona wine!

For more details about this incredible “Water to Wine Tour” please visit Sedona Adventure Tours, if you would like to learn more about the vineyards and wineries in the Verde Valley please visit the Verde Valley Wine Consortium.
