The Sunset Strip has long history of inspiring new musicians and helping launch music careers. Each Monday TheSunsetStrip.com will focus on a new, local band to keep your eye on. See them perform live at the Roxy, Viper Room, Whisky or House of Blues!

THIS WEEK: Get ready to party with Southern California “rock and blues” band Delta Rose Tuesday, March 12 at Viper Room. Delta Rose puts on a rocking show with outrageously fun showmanship and a sound inspired by Van Halen and ZZ Top.

Earlier this month, trendy fashion retailer Live! On Sunset picked up shop, and moved eastbound to a new fashionable space located in The Sunset building. The always forward-thinking retailer also rebranded themselves with a new name, TAGS (Tarrant Apparel Group).

The new flagship location celebrated their freshly relocated boutique digs with a star-studded, red carpet event complete with celeb appearances by trendsetting young fashionistas Tehmina Sunny (Argo, “NCIS”), Tiffany Hines (CW's “90210”), Marisa Lauren (ABC Family's “Greek”) and Natalie Dreyfuss (ABC Family's “Secret Life of The American Teenager”) among others.

 
The RockSTAR Music Education's annual Winter RockFest returns to The Sunset Strip this Saturday, January 26, with more than 140 young bands taking over the Key Club, The Roxy and Whisky A Go-Go from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. RockFest is a celebration of young musicianship, music education, and rock and roll, and gives young musicians the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience on the legendary Sunset Strip.

 
Late last week The Sunset Strip lost one of its brightest personalities when The Roxy’s Jeff Cahill unexpectedly passed away. For more than three years, Cahill has booked On The Rox—the fabled intimate lounge above the main room—under the Jeff Cahill Events banner, giving many new and up-and-coming bands their start. 
 
Born in Illinois on December 19, 1968, Cahill's passion for the arts extended across many mediums, from music to acting and painting. In 1980 Cahill made his film debut as one of the orphans in "The Blues Brothers" and continued with roles in TV and film, including "Deadwood" and "Prison Break."

 
Legendary music producer and co-owner and founder of The Roxy Theatre, Lou Adler, is among the 2013 inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
 
In addition to his role helping shape the live music scene on The Sunset Strip, Adler has worked as a songwriter, founder of Dunhill Records and Ode Records, produced the Monterey International Pop Festival, produced the 1975 "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," and directed Cheech and Chong's "Up In Smoke." Adler has received Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Album of the Year for Carole King's "Tapestry" album. 

 
One of the most buzzed about new artists in recent memory, Meg Myers returned to The Viper Room last week for her second sold out showcase.  The stormy songstress played to an at-capacity crowd, peppered with major label reps, TV execs and in-the-know tastemakers, all privy to the fact that they were witnessing the turning point of a career.
With only a six song EP to mine for her live performances, Myers sailed through a blistering set, leaving the insatiable crowd clamoring for more (yet to be created) new material.  Before taking the stage, we were fortunate enough to steal away a few sound bites from Ms. Myers’ as she shared with TSS.com her nervous excitement, at being on the brink of stardom. 
 
I was just reading your bio, which is very succinct… just briefly mentions that you grew up in Tennessee, and then I think you moved to Florida? And then…
