Although French by birth and now living in Switzerland, Félix has built a strong fanbase in the UK scene. This brings him to play more over here than in his native lands. He was, for example, the winner of the 2020 Giants of Rock festival contest in Minehead. One thing that sets Félix Rabin apart from other artists and bands is his guitar techniques and skill, particularly when playing live on-stage with his bandmates. The line-up includes Félix Rabin - Lead singer, guitars & keys; Francesco Gagna – Guitars; Vincenzo Capodivento – Bass; and James Morgan – Drums. Félix and his band are known for their rigorous experimentation and on-stage testing, which makes seeing them “an inspirational, even transcendent, experience.” As All About the Rock reported on one of their shows.

The children of legendary guitarist Robbie Robertson, frontman and songwriter for The Band, have filed a lawsuit against their late father's widow, Janet Zuccarini. The lawsuit centers on allegations of financial elder abuse and attempts to manipulate the terms of Robertson's estate. Let's delve deeper into the details of the lawsuit, the accusations against Zuccarini, and the potential impact on Robertson's legacy. Robbie Robertson Sue Widow A Family Divided: The Lawsuit's Core Allegations The lawsuit, filed in California Superior Court, accuses Zuccarini of exploiting Robbie Robertson's declining health and mental capacity to gain financial advantage. Here's a breakdown of the key allegations: Coercive Property Purchase: The lawsuit claims Zuccarini pressured Robertson into purchasing a $6 million mansion in Beverly Hills, with Robertson contributing the entire down payment despite the agreement outlining equal ownership and shared expenses. Questionable Prenuptial Agreement: The timing of the prenuptial agreement raises suspicion. The lawsuit alleges Zuccarini had Robertson sign the prenup shortly after his cancer returned and his health deteriorated significantly, questioning his ability to fully understand the document's implications. Financial Exploitation: The lawsuit details expenses incurred by Zuccarini for renovations and furnishings at the Beverly Hills home, totaling over $179,000. These expenses are seen as further evidence of financial exploitation. **Manipulating Inheritance: **The lawsuit alleges Zuccarini made claims to a significant portion of the estate, threatening to disrupt previously agreed-upon inheritance plans for Robertson's children. A Timeline of Events: From Beverly Hills Mansion to Legal Battle The lawsuit paints a picture of a series of events that ultimately led to the legal battle: 2023: Zuccarini allegedly convinces Robertson to buy a $6 million mansion in Beverly Hills, with Robertson financing the entire down payment despite a supposed agreement for shared ownership and expenses. Spring 2023: With Robertson's health declining, Zuccarini reportedly has him sign a prenuptial agreement. The lawsuit casts doubt on Robertson's ability to comprehend the document due to his deteriorating health. August 2023: Sadly, Robbie Robertson passes away. Following Robertson's Death: Zuccarini's legal team reportedly makes demands on the estate, seeking ongoing financial support from the trust and potentially a larger share of the inheritance. Legal Arguments and Potential Outcomes The lawsuit seeks several key outcomes: Cancellation of Property Agreement: The Robertson children seek to nullify the property agreement amendment that gave Zuccarini ownership rights to the Beverly Hills mansion. Financial Compensation: The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages for financial losses allegedly inflicted by Zuccarini's actions. Punitive Damages: The lawsuit seeks punitive damages to deter similar behavior in the future. Zuccarini's legal team has denied the allegations, asserting that the lawsuit is a "meritless fiction" and that Zuccarini was acting by Robbie Robertson's wishes. Impact on Robbie Robertson's Legacy This legal battle casts a shadow over the legacy of Robbie Robertson, a musical giant who co-founded The Band and is considered a pioneer of Americana music. The lawsuit's details raise questions about the final chapter of Robertson's life and potentially tarnish his memory.

Beckside of Richness is an Alternative Pop band based in Berlin, Germany. Sometime back in the last century, schoolmates Samuel Beck and Richard Putz founded a Pop duo, wanting to play all the instruments by themselves and even to perform as a duo. The megalomaniac plan lasted for approximately three rehearsals, after that they preferred to found "real bands“. Decades later in 2022, now a trio of seasoned musicians propelled by drummer Christoph v. Knobelsdorff, they remembered their songs from way back when added some new ones and had so much fun that they decided to make a double vinyl album called Today, Yesterday’s Tomorrow. During the recording session, former bandmate Jan Rase was asked to contribute a saxophone solo for the song ”Session,” which he did, but he also replied that he would actually prefer to play the guitar. So he initially joined the band as a guest for the record release gig and has been the fourth band member ever since.

Beckside of Richness presents their song, ”Nothing New.” The song was born out of a mood of self-doubt that every artist will recognize during their creative process when they feel they are making boring or unoriginal stuff. Later, during production, it became a fun, self-deprecating mood with a twinkle in the eye.
