Stephanie Mathias’ Hero Side Music Video

Northern Virginia native and mental health advocate, Stephanie Mathias has just released the official music video for “Hero Side,” a song that talks about the importance of accepting vulnerability as a superpower for those struggling with mental illness.

“With ‘Hero Side’ I want to show the world the value of opening up their heart to someone enough to admit they need a hero. We all need a hero sometimes. More empowering still are the moments when we realize that we can be their hero in return, even in the midst of our own battles.”

Stephanie brings her experience as a black belt in Kempo Karate to the production. The music video features fellow Capitol Groove Collective member, Jarraeu Williams: The Man With The Golden Pipes, as they do battle together against an unseen enemy.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
