Rojito is a Seattle-based Latin DJ with a diverse sound. Born in Silver Springs, Maryland, Rojito was thrust into a popping east coast music scene. Rojito was born from an immigrant family (Dominican) and an American family of musical diversity. It was here he was able to hear and develop sounds that others simply could not, allowing him to have a different vibe.

Being the son of a military man also gave Rojito the opportunity to move to different regions and allowed him to develop a diverse palate in music. Coming from the northeast, Rojito was always fascinated with music, so he bought his first console and has been at it ever since.

DJing in locations in NYC, Allentown, Destin and Orlando, he is now performing in the Seattle area, with residency at the Night Owl in Tacoma and the Golden Fleece in Everett. Rojito also rotates at Club SUR and other locations in the Pacific Northwest. His focus is to read the crowd and let people hear a different vibe that they will not hear from any other DJ. El único.

The Chicago Transit Experience is the Northwest’s one and only tribute to the music of Chicago. With such classic hits as “Saturday in the Park,” “25 or 6 to 4,” “Color My World,” “Make Me Smile” and “You’re the Inspiration,” their legendary sound blends rock, jazz, R&B and classical music, with powerful vocal harmonies and a dynamic horn section.

Among the members of this talented nine-piece band are Ben Smith, drummer for Heart for over 20 years and Arny Bailey, lead vocalist and guitarist for Wings & Things. From the iconic 1969 CTA debut album, through the hits of the '70s, to the ballads of the '80s, Chicago Transit Experience delivers the very best of Chicago’s music.

There is little doubt among the rock community that the legendary alternative hard rock band Jane’s Addiction earns high ranks as one of the most powerful and enigmatic bands in rock history. Jane’s Addiction release of Nothing’s Shocking - an album like no other then, and like few others now. Many critics were puzzled in 1988 upon first hearing those 11 songs. “A classic love ’em or hate ’em outfit,” Rolling Stone observed.

As described on the band’s own website, the music runs from proggy pomp (“Up the Beach”), to stripped-down, barking punk (“Idiot’s Rule,” “Had A Dad”), to thundering hard rock (“Mountain Song,” “Ocean Size”). It’s dubby and doomy one moment (“Ted Just Admit It,” which features samples of dialogue from serial killer Ted Bundy) and sweet and pastoral the next (“Summertime Rolls”). There’s whimsy inside (“Standing in the Shower Thinking”), hilarity, too (the faux lounge-jazz of “Thank You Boys”), and… there’s “Pigs In Zen.” How does one even describe “Pigs in Zen” except to ask, “What other songs are like ‘Pigs in Zen?’” Oh, yes, and it also contains modern rock’s “Free Bird” — the sad, sweet, and eternal “Jane Says,” a steel-drum-driven pop gem that everyone can sing along to. The riff and the chorus are in our DNA a quarter-century on.

Nothing’s Shocking - Jane’s Addiction Tribute, was formed in 2020 (risen from its previous incarnation as Jane’s cover band and local fave, Idiots Rule). Nothing’s Shocking consists of Marco Lago-Ferrari as Perry Farrell, Dusty Dunkle as Dave Navarro, Mike Farnsworth as Eric Avery and Paul Davis as Stephen Perkins. These four seasoned musicians bring an over-the-top, high-energy live show combined with virtuosic musicianship and the striking visual presence of an authentic early era Jane’s Addiction concert.

The ultimate Jane’s Addiction Tribute! Nothing’s Shocking live, album quality production of Jane’s Addiction’s greatest hits (and cult faves) preserves the image, sound and stage persona of an early era Jane’s Addiction concert experience. Audiences are amazed at the accuracy of Nothing’s Shocking’s live retrospective journey through such Jane’s Addiction songs as “Been Caught Stealing,” “Jane Says,” “Stop!” “Three Days,” “Just Because,” “Mountain Song,” “Summertime Rolls,” “Ted, Just Admit It,” “Pigs in Zen,” “Ain’t No Right” and many more!!
