Join us Saturday, May 27th for a live performance & broadcast with Bernie Larsen, Cassidy Linder, Randy Ray Mitchell & Waldo Bliss! Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist and producer bernie larsen has lived a charmed musical life for many years. He has recorded, toured, and produced an elite handful of artists most of which are Grammy Award recipients including Melissa Etheridge, Jackson Browne, Rickie Lee Jones, Lucinda Williams, and Public Enemy. He also spent six years as an original member of David Lindley’s legendary band El Rayo-X.

Cassidy Linder is a professional tap choreographer and improvisational performer. At the age of 17 she was noticed by an instructor, and was asked to audition for a professional tap company as an understudy. Upon auditioning, Cassidy became a full member of Chicago Tap Theatre, performing in the midwest and toured the south of France with them for 4 years. During this time Cassidy taught students throughout the Chicagoland area, most notably at the Joel Hall Dance Studio. Cassidy continued her love of dance in California performing with the tap group Pumping Metal in Oxnard, performing with the band Noble Creatures and poet Lady May, and has had her taps recorded as musical accompaniment on multiple albums. She started the Dance Elective program at Oak Grove School, is on faculty at Billy Clower in Ventura and has been a featured as a guest choreographer and teacher for multiple years traveling as a guest teacher for intensives and workshops.

Randy Ray Mitchell knew he wanted to play guitar since a friend showed him three chords when he was nine. It took him three years to convince his dad to spring for his first guitar, a $25 Harmony gut string.

By then, he had the bug and never looked back.His favorite players were surf guitarists then later Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. “I also admired the studio wizards like Larry Carlton, Dean Parks, Lou Shelton…”, he says. He took to the upright bass in junior high school, and dove head first into years of college level theory classes. Eventually, he was performing with three different high school pit orchestras playing either guitar or bass, depending on what was needed most. He was doing horn arrangements for his own bands as well.

After high school, he started touring with The Silvers, Ann Peebles, Freda Payne, Edgar Winter, Billy Davis Jr…Studio work was picking up also, including contributing to a Michael Martin Murphy album that got him a gold record. “Like a lot of working musicians, I’m a jack of all trades, covering a variety of musical styles”, he says. He had a long association with Donna Summer, and recorded with Warren Zevon before he passed, winning a Grammy for Zevon’s CD “The Wind”.

Dan has been playing guitar for a long time. A ukulele his parents gave him when he was 13 started the whole thing going. He has been writing songs since he was 17. He plays both acoustic and electric guitar, bass as well as keyboards. He has kind of a natural ear for harmony and sang in church choirs, high school choirs as well as in the Men’s Glee Club while attending UCLA as a music major after high school. He is very happy to have been a part of Waldo Bliss the last 18 years as it has been a very rewarding and satisfying ongoing experience to play with such great musicians.
