My, oh my, this past October was an exciting month for events in the Central Valley. With the fall weather and the upcoming holiday season, everyone was excited to be out and about. There was a big selection of events to choose from, such as concerts, stand-up comedy shows, and sporting events. Most of those events were offered by The Big Fresno Fair. October is the month of Halloween, and the Valley definitely was given a major treat with events that were sweeter than candy.

Kings River Life had the privilege of covering “Mr. Worldwide” himself, Pitbull, on July 28, when he entertained the crowd at Table Mountain Casino. The rapper, singer, songwriter, businessman, and actor brought his signature blend of genres to the show. He’s known for dabbling in all kinds of musical styles ranging from hip hop, Latin, reggaeton, rap, and pop. All the hits he played were equally satisfying to the diverse crowd who attended the show. We had the honor of covering him back in February 2020, so it’s been a long time coming for his return, and it was great.

Murder at the Royal Albert By Gerald Elias: Review/Giveaway/Interview

2023 Articles, Kathleen Costa, Music, Mysteryrat's Maze

by Kathleen Costa

Gerald Elias’ eighth book in his Daniel Jacobus Mystery series takes readers into the world of symphonies, violinists, Mahler’s Sixth, murder, and more. Well-written with engaging wit, Elias presents a complex murder mystery with a fascinating, yet complicated character in Daniel Jacobus whose unique set of skills are heightened by the fact he’s blind. He knows the concert community well since he himself is a violinist, so his insights, knowledge, and other four senses are invaluable to the newest investigation.
