Check It Out! Reno recording veteran, Tom Gordon,

Check It Out! Reno recording veteran, Tom Gordon, is releasing a cover of the song “Battle Scar,” benefitting the Native American Graduate Center and the Washoe Country School District Music Education Department. Hear the song premiere on the radio TODAY at NOON on 97.7FM in Reno, NV or listen anytime on streaming platforms 🎧

The original song was recorded by Canadian rock legends Rush and Max Webster in 1980. The song is a vague protest song about the plight of Native Americans. That inspired the music video and the choice of the Native American Graduate Center who raise scholarship money for Native American students nationally. Being released during Native American Heritage Month.

Tom Gordon is a multi-platinum selling producer/engineer who was a former engineer at Granny’s House studios and has worked with Dr. Dre, Ozzy Osbourne, The Beach Boys, Boyz II Men, Willie Nelson and others. He has been working on his version “Battle Scar” for 13 years enlisting the help of over 70 people in the Northern Nevada area as performers, actors, artist, film crew & promotions. It was recorded at Imirage Sound Lab in Sparks, NV which he now manages.

Being a Reno native, and a product of the Washoe County School District music program, Tom Gordon wanted WCSD to be the other recipient of the proceeds to give back to the program he came from. He is also the Recording Arts instructor at the University of Nevada, Reno teaching recording techniques and music industry.

Dreams and Demolitions: A Conversation with Anjean

Dreams and Demolitions: A Conversation with Anjeanette Damon about Downtown Reno’s Uncertain Fate 🎙 Listen anytime LINK IN STORIES

We are in conversation with Anjeanette Damon about Jeffrey Jacobs’ large-scale acquisition of downtown properties, many of which he razed shortly after purchasing them. Anjeanette, a long-time local investigative journalist, recently published two pieces for ProPublica in which she researches Jacob’s transactions, going back 20 years, paints a stark image of their impact (so far) on downtown Reno, and interviews the people directly affected, particularly by the closure and demolition of motel after motel, places that had for years provided low-barrier, affordable housing. We’ll talk about the stories of the displaced, discuss some of the motels that are still holding out, despite Jacobs’ ongoing pressure to sell him their property, and consider the City of Reno’s actions - or, perhaps, lack thereof - when it comes to guiding a development of this magnitude to fulfill the wishes and needs of local residents.
