SUSAN RICE
For over 42 years, Susan Rice has been making people laugh. After nine years as a professional actress, she discovered stand-up in 1983 and soon moved to Los Angeles, performing at top comedy clubs nationwide. As she aged out of the comedy clubs, Rice found a new rhythm performing at charity fundraisers, corporate events, and community shows. During the pandemic, she produced the St. Johns Comedy Festival in both 2021 and 2022—giving talented local comics a stage after more than a year of shutdown. In 2024, her viral Don't Tell Comedy set led to America's Got Talent and her first special, Silver Alert. Rice never expected this late-career resurgence—but she's thrilled to still be doing what she loves: making people laugh.
PETE DROGE
Pete Droge gets personal on his captivating new album, Fade Away Blue, reflecting on the loss of his birth mother, who he missed meeting by months, and the remarkable journey that followed as he reunited with long-lost relatives, battled a mysterious illness, and discovered himself in the process. Recorded with Grammy-winning producer Paul Bryan (Aimee Mann), the collection is largely autobiographical, built on a series of dreamy, cinematic snapshots from throughout Droge’s life. The songs are bittersweet, balancing longing and gratitude in equal measure. The arrangements are warm and inviting, with a spotlight fixed firmly on Droge’s tender lyrics and understated delivery. The result is an album a lifetime in the making, a rich, revelatory sonic memoir that faces down doubt and despair with love, resilience, and commitment at every turn.
In addition to Fade Away Blue, Pete is celebrating the deluxe double vinyl reissue of his critically acclaimed 1994 debut, Necktie Second.
