Lewis checks in this week from sunny California! As Lewis heads up to San Francisco for a show, he has one question for Georgia Senate Republican candidate Hershel Walker…really? Herschel, REALLY? It's come out in the news recently that the former pro football player has paid for an abortion for a woman he was having a relationship with. Even though he's representing a party that is anti-abortion, does this recent revelation make him pro-abortion? Oh, and by the way, don't elect someone who can't contribute anything. That's no way to run a Senate. Anyway…moving on from that…if you're ever in the area, be sure to stop by Albertson's in Paso Robles, California. They have absolutely terrific wine at great prices. Unfortunately, our host didn't get to make a stop there this trip, but he highly recommends it if you're ever in the area and looking for phenomenal wine. Also on this trip, Lewis got to stay at one of his favorite places in the country, the Mission Inn in Riverside, California. At the Mission Inn, there are two beautiful parrots, a red feathered female Macaw and a striking blue feather male Macaw. After his shows in California this weekend, Lewis has a little time off and is heading back to the Palm Desert (where he was at the start of the week) to meet up with some friends and maybe even play some golf again. Last time Lewis played golf out there, it was so hot and just felt like the sun was right above your head. Hopefully for the next round of golf it won't be so hot and our host can focus on his game.  The live rants come from this past weekend's shows at the Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside, CA and the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo, CA.  For advertising opportunities email: advertise@thelaughbutton.com SUBMIT RANTS TO LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com/pages/live  Lewis' Grammy-nominated special, "Thanks For Risking Your Life" is available now! https://tlbrecords.lnk.to/LewisWE  SUBSCRIBE TO THE RANTCAST https://thelaughbutton.com/podcasts/lewis-blacks-rantcast  FOLLOW LEWIS https://www.lewisblack.com/  https://www.instagram.com/thelewisblack/  https://mobile.twitter.com/thelewisblack  https://www.facebook.com/thelewisblack/  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3FbbI6zNALJhHAhwOJhEyg Learn more about your ad choices.

THIS WEEK'S GUESTS Dan Sheehan - California Roots Music & Arts Festival Dan Sheehan is the Co-Owner and Producer of the largest reggae festival in the US, California Roots Music & Arts Festival and the promoter and operational partner for music venues and outdoor festivals throughout North America. Sheehan has been in the music industry since 1999, starting as a radio DJ while he lived in Guam. After leaving Guam, Hawaii-raised Sheehan migrated to Northern California and established his own production company, Good Vibez Entertainment in 2002. Starting with island reggae bands he knew from growing up on Oahu, Sheehan began booking west coast tours and his own club shows in various cities in Northern California. Dan was the first booker to bring soon to be massive bands like SOJA and Rebelution to Hawaii. Good Vibez Entertainment grew rapidly to include producing tours that spanned the entire west coast and four of the Hawaiian Islands as well as mid-range music festivals, but Sheehan had always desired sinking his teeth into a larger, more complex, festival project. When the California Roots Festival came along, Sheehan was ready to jump in with connections, production experience and dedicated staff. Sheehan came on board with Cali Roots in year three and was instrumental in laying the groundwork and building relationships with agents and management—enabling the festival to secure the top names in the scene. With Sheehan at the helm, Cali Roots rapidly grew from a backyard party to the largest reggae festival in the country. Over the past three years, Sheehan has branched out from Cali Roots as new opportunities have presented themselves. As the Promoter of the Avila Beach Resort summer series, he has brought sold-out events to Avila, CA for the last six summers. He has grown the success of the SOMO Event Center in Rohnert Park, CA as he developed annual summer and fall events at this stunning outdoor venue. Sheehan is also partner/owner of the iconic Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo where he has built a new following of locals and out-of-town concert-goers by securing the Fremont as a renowned tour stop for bands of all genres. In 2020, as the music industry shut down, Sheehan paused to take inventory, then guided his team to downscale operations. Within months of the shutdown, Sheehan had nurtured the Cali Roots Festival's brand into a stand-alone merch company that has grown ten-fold in six months, ensuring that the festival will have legs to stand on when the industry opens back up. During off time, Dan enjoys going to the local Monterey beaches with his daughter and wife, hanging out with his Doodle Leo and cooking amazing from-scratch meals for his family and friends. He loves that his work allows him time to travel regularly and support local nonprofits that are near and dear to his heart. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hikingmyfeelings/support
