Cultural Events Kennedy Jr. High Graduate Brad Wilson to Perform Locally Saturday, Sept. 27 Broadway Lounge 700 Winslow St. (downtown) 650-365-3353 Recording artist Brad Wilson, an award-winning singer/songwriter/guitarist, and his band will be performing at the Broadway Lounge in Redwood City on Saturday, Sept. 27. Wilson is a Kennedy Jr. High School graduate who still has many friends in the area. Wilson’s music has been featured in John Carpenter’s last two films and soundtracks (“Vampires” and “Ghosts of Mars”), and the NBC soap “Passions” has used his music for years. ABC’s morning show “Live With Regis and Kelly” played one of Wilson’s songs, “House of Love,” a fun, summertime song that has been described as power rock, reminiscent of Springsteen. Said the music programmer, “I always try to find new music to play during our show, and Brad’s music fit the bill.” He has opened for many top-name artists. Many of his songs are about his travels on the road; he has toured throughout the U.S. more than a dozen times. Wilson and his band play every weekend, over 150 shows a year, appearing at music venues, clubs, city events, casinos, motorcycle rallies, fairs and festivals, including the famous Gilroy Garlic Festival, the legendary Hollister Rally, the Laughlin River Run, Visalia’s All Music Festival and the Thunderfest/Bluesapalooza Festival. The crowds love them. Wilson’s Web site has all his tour dates: www.bradwilsonlive.com. All Access Music Awards in Los Angeles voted Wilson “Best Songwriter,” and he’s also won “Best Blues Band” at LA’s Rock City News Awards three times. He is a very talented performer and a crowd pleaser!
