Guitar virtuoso Nili Brosh has just released her fourth studio album Eventide, continuing her signature style of vivid instrumental storytelling. Deeply influenced by her experience with synesthesia—a perceptual phenomenon where one sense triggers another, such as hearing sounds and seeing colors—Brosh transforms music into a rich, multisensory experience where melodies evoke color, texture, and emotion.

For Eventide, Brosh teamed up with longtime collaborators, including Brendon Small—creator of Metalocalypse and frontman of Dethklok—who appears on “Roulette,” alongside Dethklok bassist Pete Griffin on “Lavender Mountains.”

Known for her work on Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil, and as a member of Danny Elfman’s live band, she continues to bring those influences into her solo work while keeping the guitar at the forefront.

Speaking of, Brosh is launching her first-ever signature guitar with her longstanding partner, Ibanez, titled “The Answer,” set to arrive this summer.

In support of Eventide, she’s heading out on tour, beginning with European dates before joining Dethklok for a North American headline run. Then later this spring, she’ll be performing with Dethklok as part of their The Amonklok Conquest co-headlining tour with Amon Amarth.

Brosh recently sat down with LifeMinute’s editor-in-chief Joann Butler to discuss the album, her new gear, and everything in between.

Funk legend George Clinton isn’t slowing down anytime soon. At 84, the pioneering force behind Parliament-Funkadelic is still creating, performing, and pushing the boundaries of music—proving that funk isn’t just alive, it’s evolving.

LifeMinute Editor-in-Chief Joann Butler recently sat down virtually with the icon to talk about the inaugural P-Funk Festival, his decades-long career, and why the best may still be yet to come.

Set to take place in Clinton’s longtime home of Tallahassee, the P-Funk Festival is a family-led celebration bringing together the extended Parliament-Funkadelic universe. Highlighting performers such as Cimafunk and Norwood Fisher, along with next-generation members of the funk collective. Fans can expect a full day of music and even rare performances: “We’ll probably do songs people never heard us do… because we’ve got all day.”

Clinton’s career has been recognized with some of the music world’s highest honors, including induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, cementing his influence across generations.

Despite decades of influence, Clinton says he’s still in motion. “I ain’t finished right now,” he said, reflecting on a career that began with doo-wop roots and grew into a genre-defining movement. His sound has shaped generations, being sampled and featured by artists from Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, to Kendrick Lamar, while his production work includes collaborations with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Prince.

Now back in the studio, Clinton hinted that new music is on the horizon. “There’s some funk coming,” he said. With the launch of the P-Funk Festival, it’s clear the legacy of Parliament-Funkadelic continues.

Creativity runs in the Rosenthal family—along with humor, warmth, and a deep appreciation for food. Sitting down with LifeMinute’s editor-in-chief Joann Butler, Everybody Loves Raymond creator, Phil Rosenthal and his daughter Lily Rosenthal offer a glimpse into their second children’s book, Just Try It! Someplace New!, a follow-up to their 2024 New York Times bestseller, Just Try It!.

The new book builds on a simple, but powerful message: “Our greatest fear is the unknown,” Phil says—a theme that resonates whether you’re a kid nervous about staying at grandma’s house, or an adult hesitant to step outside your comfort zone.

Like his hit shows Everybody Loves Raymond and Netflix’s Somebody Feed Phil, the story blends humor with heart and a relatable dose of real-life. Lily, who grew up on the set of Raymond, calls co-authoring with her dad “a dream come true,” while Phil jokes the real win is simply getting to share the experience with his daughter.

Off the page, their bond extends to food, travel, and even a new family-run diner in Los Angeles, where their love of comfort food comes to life. The duo dish on it all and more.

On the heels of releasing his debut studio album Man Of The North, Liam St. John is having a moment years in the making. The Spokane, Washington native—now based in Nashville—recently appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show and continues to build on a breakout year that included a headline tour across the UK and North America. With more than 90 million streams worldwide, St. John is stepping confidently into his next chapter.

At its core, Man Of The North is a deeply personal project that took nearly four years to complete. He calls it “a love letter to my roots,” inspired by his Pacific Northwest upbringing and shaped by seasons of growth and self-discovery. Recorded live with a full band to capture the energy of his shows, the album also reflects his candid journey through depression and addiction, with songwriting serving as both release and renewal.

Before these milestones, St. John spent years grinding it out in dive bars and open mics. After seven years of auditioning, he earned a spot on The Voice with Team Gwen Stefani during a pandemic-era season—an experience that gave him national exposure and affirmed his artistic path. He also recently celebrated his debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage and scored a career highlight when his song “Paul Revere” was featured on the NFL’s Sunday Spotlight series.

Adding to the momentum, St. John recently dropped a bluesy cover of Britney Spears’ “Toxic,” even recording a live performance at UMG Studios in London that showcases his gritty, genre-bending style.

Looking ahead, he has plans for a new EP as well as a deluxe edition of Man Of The North featuring additional songs. He recently stopped by the LifeMinute studios to share more about the music, his journey, and what’s next.

Actor Dennis Quaid stopped by the LifeMinute studios once again, this time with a special guest in tow—his dog Peaches, who happily roamed the set and nearly stole the spotlight. Between laughs and puppy moments, Quaid opened up about his latest movie, new music, and even a recent ride aboard Air Force One.

Quaid is currently promoting the action-packed sci-fi thriller War Machine, directed by Patrick Hughes and starring Alan Ritchson. The film follows a group of Army Ranger recruits whose final training mission turns into a fight for survival after encountering a mysterious and deadly force in the wilderness. Shot in Australia, Quaid says the movie brings back the feel of the big, high-octane action films of the 1980s.

Quaid is also making waves in music. His song “On My Way to Heaven” features an all-star lineup including Tanya Tucker, Brandi Carlile, and the late Kris Kristofferson in one of his final recordings before his 2024 passing. The track is set to debut at the legendary Grand Ole Opry this June.

Beyond acting and music, Quaid is also producing. He recently launched his own production company, Bonniedale in 2021 alongside his wife Laura, and is developing several new projects.

He also filled us in on what he does when he’s not working, like playing golf with President Trump, and flying on Air Force One. We covered it all and so much more.
