Because of Al Gomes and A. Michelle of Big Noise's marketing efforts, Beach Boys lyricist Stephen Kalinich's tribute CD 'California Feeling' was placed on the Official Ballot for the 54th Annual Grammy Awards by The Recording Academy.

The CD was produced by Mark Linett and Alan Boyd, and executive produced by Carol Schofield for MsMusic Records. The Recording Academy placed Stephen Kalinich and Friends in the following categories : Record of the Year for Stacy Keach and Sarah Al-Mulla ('The Magic Hand'), Best Pop Duo / Group Performance for Rachel & The Reindeerz ('Child of Winter' which includes the first-ever appearance on the Grammy ballot by Brian Wilson's grandchildren Lola & Luci Bonfiglio, and Leo, Beau, Jesse & Willem Knutson), and Best Pop Vocal Album for the entire CD.

Stephen John Kalinich is a poet of grace and peace. He has enjoyed a rare association with Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson and The Beach Boys. His work with the group made its debut on their 'Friends' album in 1968 ('Little Bird' and 'Be Still'). Those songs marked the beginning of friendships, and a spiritual linkage and embodiment with The Beach Boys and their associates that endures to this day.

'California Feeling', a new compilation dedicated to Kalinich's career-spanning prose, has been released on the MsMusic Records label. For ardent Beach Boys fans, the collection brings together many familiar names: The Honeys, David Marks, Carnie & Wendy Wilson, Carl B. Wilson, Alan Boyd, Brian Wilson band member / Wondermint Probyn Gregory and Adam Marsland's Chaos Band. Kalinich's lyrics on the CD are full of inspiration and love.
