Jared & The Mill have released their next single “Kelsee’s Shelves” (PRESS HERE to listen). “Kelsee’s Shelves” joins a catalogue of songs which will make up the bands forthcoming album, This Story Is No Longer Available, set for release on February 15, 2019. PRESS HERE to pre-order the album on PledgeMusic.

This Story Is No Longer Available will feature the band’s four previously-released singles, including “Soul in Mind" which was called "authentic" and "open-minded" by Billboard, “Break in the Ether” which The Boot called “deeply introspective,” “Hope,” and “Feels Like.”

Jared & The Mill will be playing a series of shows along the west coast this fall, dates below. Following the New Year, the band will then head out on a multi-state tour.

For their upcoming tour, Jared & The Mill will be partnering with Can’d Aid. For every dollar sold from tickets, a dollar will be donated to Can’d Aid in support of their mission to spread “do-goodery”. Additionally, throughout the tour the band will be doing workshops with schools in 10 cities (dates and cities have yet to be announced) where they will donate instruments to selected schools.

The Denver-based funk and soul ensemble are releasing their ninth studio album, Death Or Devotion, on January 25th via the band’s own label.The nine-track album is a killer collection of feel good grooves. The album’s first release, “Whacha Gonna Bring,” was recently used for HeadCount’s Get Out The Vote Campaign for the mid-term elections. The song is as much a deep pocket heavy groove as it is a reminder that each and every individual has the opportunity to make their voice heard, not only by voting but by bringing positivity and joy to the table. Full track listing is below.

For almost 20 years, The Motet have been fusing boisterous badass funk and swaggering soul with a thought-provoking inventiveness to create something truly unique. Death Or Devotion earmarks an important point in the band’s own journey. Since emerging in 1998, the seven-piece band (Dave Watts [drums], Joey Porter [keys], Garrett Sayers [bass], Ryan Jalbert [guitar], Lyle Divinsky [vocals], Drew Sayers [sax] and Parris Fleming [trumpet]) have cooked up eight full-length albums and entranced countless crowds. 2016 saw them welcome Lyle behind the mic and Drew on sax. Shortly after, they kicked off what has become an annual tradition by selling out the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre for the second time. Along the way, The Motet started recording Death Or Devotion during intermittent sessions at Scanhope Sound in their native Colorado in 2017. For the first time, Lyle, Drew, and Parris (trumpet) worked on a Motet record together from start-to-finish, and each member of the band brought something different to the mix with their own unique set of musical influences and styles. This collection of new songs finds the band pushing boundaries and breaking new ground, welcoming old fans and new audiences alike – continually providing a welcome escape for listeners.

“The essence is always going to be the groove, but we wanted to expand the idea of what a funk album could be,” says vocalist Lyle Divinsky. “Of course, you want a driving backbeat. However, with the division that’s going on in this country and the world, I think it’s every artist’s responsibility to create a conversation. That conversation doesn’t have to be political either. It can be about love or an introspective journey. I think the commentary should be on what it’s like to be alive today. By drawing on funk, we create a fun, palatable musical vehicle for the message to go down. Our goal is for you to recognize we’re all dancing on the same dance floor—even though our steps may look a little different.”

Lettuce has announced their 2019 appearance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre set for Saturday, June 15th. The 4th annual Rage Rocks show, the band's sixth overall time playing the legendary Colorado venue, will feature two full sets from Lettuce, one of which will be a Jerry Garcia Band cover set, along with support from TAUK and The Soul Rebels. Pre-sale tickets are available starting Tuesday, December 4th at 10am MST with the general on-sale commencing Friday, December 7th at 10am MST via Live Nation; PRESS HERE for details and to purchase.

"The scenery and feeling at this divine location in Morrison, Colorado makes Red Rocks Amphitheatre a multi-sensory experience by itself. Add in two tablespoons of Jimi Hendrix's historic performances here, a half cup of The Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia's legendary shows at the venue, and a heaping quart of the Count Basie big band's gigantic vibe and lingering presence that is emanating from the area and you have yourself one immense vortex of goodness," shares Erick "Jesus" Coomes (bass). "It is hands down one of our very favorite venues in the country and is incomparable to any other place. Long live Colorado and it's band of merry pranksters."

Adds Adam Deitch (drums), "We gonna funk up Dead Nation! "

Prior to the summer show, Lettuce - drummer Adam Deitch, guitarist Adam Smirnoff, bassist Erick "Jesus" Coomes, keyboardist and vocalist Nigel Hall, saxophonist Ryan Zoidis and trumpet player Eric Bloom - is on the road throughout the winter starting with a trio of shows in Texas (Houston Dec. 28, Dallas Dec. 29 and Austin Dec. 31) to close out 2018 and ring in the new year. Then, the band brings their psychedelic sonics, blissful grooves, jazz rhythms and hip-hop inspired beats across the country to over 20 cities during January, February and March including Boston, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, Cleveland, Nashville, Atlanta, Memphis, Aspen, Las Vegas, San Diego and San Francisco. Full tour routing below.

Lettuce's latest album, Witches Stew, is the sextet's contemporary jazz fusion tribute to Miles Davis. PRESS HERE to listen. Recorded live at the 2016 Catskill Chill, the album is an interpretive take on the historically experimental and lauded Bitches Brew era. In a similar vein of Thundercat, Flying Lotus and Kamasi Washington, Lettuce continues to push jazz fusion forward with this latest release, a tribute to one of the band's biggest influences. Lettuce is currently working on a new studio album.

Known for their incendiary live shows, extensive touring, die-hard fans, and massive two-decade career, Lettuce brings forth a new vitality to classic funk music. Together, the stellar group of musicians continues to earn their name as a can't-miss live act and acclaimed masters of their craft. The members of Lettuce are also highly sought after musicians in hip-hop and pop. Adam Deitch is a member of Break Science and has played with everyone from John Scofield and 50 Cent to Talib Kweli and Wyclef Jean. Erick "Jesus" Coomes is a noted producer who has worked with Kanye West and Dr. Dre and was a touring bassist for Britney Spears and The Game. Blending together their talents in a sound distinctly their own, Lettuce has garnered praise by the likes of New York Times, NPR, Billboard, Consequence of Sound, Relix, Red Bull Music and more.

Instrumental jamband Lotus surprised fans today with the release of their new album, Frames Per Second. Tracked live at Rittenhouse Soundworks in Philadelphia with cameras rolling, the all-instrumental 19-song studio album and accompanying documentary aims to showcase Lotus in a pure, raw form performing live in the studio. Instrumental jazz-funk, Norwegian space-disco and psychedelic rock are just some of the sounds that influenced the expansive audio and video project. Frames Per Second is available now digitally and as a 3-LP vinyl set with video downloads and video-on-demand options. PRESS HERE to listen.

PRESS HERE to watch a promo video for the Frames Per Second documentary.

“Frames Per Second is a different project than we've ever made before,” shares bassist/composer Jesse Miller. “I hesitate to even call it an album. I see it more as a documentary of our current composing and playing. The guiding theme was the idea that we would record live in the studio with cameras filming. But, since it is not a concert with an audience, big sound system and flashing lights, the energy is very different. It is more intimate and introspective. We set up in a big circle with the primary camera in the center of the room, putting the viewer or listener directly in the middle of the band.”

Keyboardist/composer Luke Miller adds, “We recorded Frames Per Second live in the studio so we could capture the interplay between the members of Lotus. We’ve been performing together for many years, so there is a telepathy that happens when playing live. We left room for unscripted improvisation in the compositions, and recorded fast, in just four days, so we had to rely on listening to each other and reacting in real time. Documenting the album on video was a way to give listeners an up close perspective of that process. For an instrumental album, seeing where the sounds come from and the physicality of actually manipulating the strings, keys, and sticks can be very insightful and add a layer of depth and enjoyment. And in a time where many things get digitized to death, musicians playing live in the studio can be a humanizing remedy.”

For Frames Per Second (written and produced by Jesse and Luke and available via the band’s own label), Lotus aimed to incorporate pyschedelia into the album’s sound by combining hypnotic beats with unexpected harmonic or timbral turns. Songs such as “December Sun” and “Milk & Honey” have sections that can wash over the listener like waves.  The band also put their own spin on different classic funk styles, like 70s Fusion, West Coast G-Funk, Instrumental Soul, Boogie, and 80s Electric Funk. “Gunk” came out of the G-Funk experiment, with Luke pointing out, “You can hear the influence in the synth bass and some of the percussion accents.”

Luke also drew inspiration from the funky sounds of the Hohner clavinet. He notes, “The clavinet is a keyboard used on many 70’s records. Think ‘Superstition.’ Jesse rented his clavinet to Stevie Wonder once so it might have a little residual Wonder magic on it. I was trying to absorb some of that juice when I started writing tunes for this album based around clavinet grooves.” Full track listing for Frames Per Second can be found below.

In more exciting Lotus news, the quintet – Mike Greenfield (drums), Jesse Miller (bass, sampler), Luke Miller (guitar, keys), Mike Rempel (guitar) and Chuck Morris (percussion) – have also revealed their initial 2019 tour plans in support of the new album, featuring back-to-back shows in each city. Lotus will perform multiple nights in Philadelphia (two shows: January 25-26), Buffalo (two shows: February 8-9), Pittsburgh (two shows: February 15-16), Brooklyn (three shows: April 4-6), Washington, DC (two shows; April 19-20) and the Denver area (two shows: April 26-27), culminating with a headlining show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on April 27th featuring special guests Ghostland Observatory. Fan club tickets are available now with the general on-sale starting this Friday, December 7th or Saturday, December 8th (depending on show date); PRESS HERE for more info including ticket bundle details which include the Frames Per Second documentary with purchase through Lotus’ fan club.  Full tour routing, including remaining 2018 dates, for Lotus can be found below.

Musically, Lotus has always been difficult to define; an instrumental jamband that has favored groove-based improvisation instead of gaudy solos and noodling. Influences of classic electronic dance music, funk, post-rock and dance-rock, from the likes of Talking Heads, The Orb, Underworld, Herbie Hancock and Steve Reich, have all made their way into the Lotus sound. Over the years, their unique musical blend helped forge a new path in the jamband landscape, influencing many younger bands in the scene. Albums such as their debut studio release Nomad (2006) have become a touchstone for how to organically fuse elements of electronica with jam music, and the band continues to evolve through each tour and album bringing in new sounds and writing styles.

The first incarnation of Lotus (including Luke Miller and Mike Rempel) came together for a music showcase in 1998 at Goshen College in Indiana. In the summer of 1999, Jesse Miller joined and the band began writing and performing on a regular basis. Now approaching two decades together, Lotus has toured actively throughout the US working their way up from dingy basement clubs to world-class venues such as Red Rocks. They've become festival favorites, playing everything from Bonnaroo, Camp Bisco and Outside Lands to Ultra Music Festival and Electric Forest, building a hyper-loyal following along the way. The band also hosts their own annual SummerDance Festival in Garrettsville, Ohio, where thousands flock to join a vibrant community of Lotus fans.

Critically lauded, Indian born world musician Falu (aka Falguni Shah) has scored her first GRAMMY® nomination in Best Children’s Album for her latest album, Falu’s Bazaar – PRESS HERE to listen. Falu’s Bazaar was inspired by her desire to address her son’s fascination with their cultural values and customs, exploring Indian culture through song, and celebrating the instruments, languages, sights, and humanity of a diverse world. A true family affair, Falu’s husband plays on the record, while three generations comprise its voice with vocals performed by Falu, her mother, and her son Nishaad.  Falu’s Bazaar is a trilingual album sung in English, Hindi, and Gujarati, with lush traditional instrumentation, gorgeous production, and delicate delivery.

Soon after moving to the States from Bombay in 2000, Falu recorded and performed alongside a wide array of artists including: A.R. Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire), Yo-Yo Ma (in The Silk Road Project), Philip Glass, Ricky Martin, Wyclef Jean, her mentor Ustad Sultan Khan, Blues Traveler, and Bernie Worrell (Parliament Funkadelic). Her songs have been featured in multiple blockbuster films, including Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut A Place in Time, and her debut self-titled album was featured in Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History’s “Beyond Bollywood” exhibit as representative of the voice of Indian American trendsetting artists. Additionally, Falu was named one of the 20 most influential global Indian women by the Economic Times of India in 2015 and this year she won the Women Icons of India award in Mumbai, India.

Falu has sparked the interest of all types of music enthusiasts with her live performances and has appeared both nationally on FOX TV and internationally on National Geographic TV. She has sung at the prestigious Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center for the Dalai Lama, The White House for President Obama’s first State Dinner in honor of the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and at the Time 100 Gala where she performed a duet with Slumdog Millionaire composer A.R. Rahman in front of the one hundred of Time Magazine's most influential people in the world, including First Lady Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey.

Last month the band released their 7th studio album All For Money, via the band's own label, Big Blue Zoo Records - which debuted on SIX Billboard charts (#1 on the Bluegrass Chart and in the Top 10 on the Americana, Folk, Country and Heatseekers Charts). The set of 12 new songs was recorded at Echo Mountain Recording in Asheville, NC alongside co-producers Dominic John Davis (Jack White's longtime bassist) and Glenn Brown. The collection is being hailed by critics as their best yet and listeners have taken notice as lead single "Do It Alone" has been climbing the AAA radio chart. PRESS HERE to stream and purchase.

Up next, the band will headline the Burton US Open Concert Series, and they also recently announced a three night engagement at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre for September 13th, 14th, and 15th - with acts The Lil Smokies, Rayland Baxter, and Billy Strings opening each night respectively.

THREE NIGHTS AT RED ROCKS

September 13, 14, 15

w/ special guests: The Lil' Smokies, Rayland Baxter and Billy Strings

Last night, the 32nd Annual Tibet House US Benefit Concert returned to Carnegie Hall in New York City for a memorable evening filled with extraordinary performances. This year's eclectic lineup of artists included Stephen Colbert, Debbie Harry, Patti Smith, Jason Isbell, Nathaniel Rateliff, Jon Batiste, New Order's Bernard Sumner, Phil Cunningham, Tom Chapman & Joe Duddell, Laurie Anderson, Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Angélique Kidjo, Tenzin Choegyal, Scorchio Quartet, along with artistic director and curator for the evening Philip Glass.

The night had countless standout moments as the performers celebrated the Tibetan New Year. Stephen Colbert read Allen Ginsberg's thought-provoking and politically driven poem "Birdbrain," while accompanied by Philip Glass on piano. Colbert brilliantly captured the wit and emotion of the reading and it was a thrill for those in attendance.  Nathaniel Rateliff was joined by Jon Batiste to perform an electrifying rendition of Sam & Dave's classic "Hold On, I'm Coming," and earlier in the night Rateliff put his own spin on "Atlantic City." Debbie Harry sang a mesmerizing, re-imagined version of the Blondie hit "Heart Of Glass" accompanied by the beautiful Scorchio Quartet strings, and Jason Isbell challenged himself on his 7-year sobriety date by performing an experimental electric guitar set that was a highlight of the night.

Surprise guest and Tibet House Benefit alumnus Patti Smith and her band had the audience out of their seats dancing to their cover of Midnight Oil's "Beds Are Burning," while Laurie Anderson interacted with the audience in her own unique way by telling the incredible story of Yoko Ono screaming following Donald Trump winning the election. Laurie encouraged the audience to scream at the top of their lungs and the sold-out crowd's enthusiastic thrill echoed throughout the iconic room, and could probably be heard from the street outside. New Order played an epic rendition of David Bowie's "Be My Wife," and Angélique Kidjo displayed her powerhouse vocals as she sang "Malaika" and was then joined on stage by the rest of the performers to close out the night with an upbeat cover of the Talking Head's classic "Once in a Lifetime." Other highlights included performances by Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Philip Glass's Son Cameron Glass, renowned cellist Rubin Kodheli, Scorchio Quartet and Tenzin Choegyal. Maggie Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, Uma Thurman and Arden Wohl served as honorary chairs.

The festivities continued late into the night as the performing artists, VIPs and Tibet House supporters enjoyed the elegant post-concert gala at Ziegfeld Ballroom...a perfect end to one of the longest-running and most acclaimed live cultural events in NYC. Proceeds went to support the work of Tibet House US as they forge ahead with their mission to protect, preserve and empower the unique Tibetan culture.

Jared & The Mill have released "Dark Highways" - PRESS HERE to listen. "Dark Highways," which Relix pinpoints as one of the highlights of the band's forthcoming album, This Story Is No Longer Available (out 2/15/19), is an "anthemic examination of the touring lifestyle" which finds the band balancing his love for their family and friends with their addition to their transient lifestyle. The song expressed that even in the darkest of moments "you and your lover's hearts can push through any of it."

Of writing the single, Michael Carter reflects, "I wrote Dark Highways during an overnight drive on tour. I had gone on a walk to call my girlfriend Ash and realized there were no streetlights in the neighborhood. It was nearly pitch-black outside. I remember telling her I might as well been walking down a dark hallway. Later on, our drive, I reflected and wrote a bit on the realization that I wouldn't see the person I loved physically for quite some time. We'd been together for years, and I had gone on many tours, but again I had to reckon with the fact that I just straight up wouldn't see her in any of these rooms, these dark hallways or highways, these music venues, truck stops, etc.”

This Story Is No Longer Available features the band's 7 previously-released singles, including "Soul in Mind" which was called "authentic" and "open-minded" by Billboard, "Break in the Ether" which The Boot called "deeply introspective," and "Feels Like" which Glide Magazine described as, "wear it on your sleeves lyrics." The band will stream their album in full for fans to listen via Twitch on February 13, 2019.

Beginning in February, Jared & The Mill will be heading out on another national tour in support of This Story Is No Longer Available. In partnership with the charity Can'd Aid, for every dollar sold from ticket sales, a dollar will be donated to Can'd Aid in support of their mission to spread "do-goodery." Additionally, throughout the tour the band will be doing workshops with schools in 10 cities (dates and cities have yet to be announced) where they will donate instruments to selected schools.

Gov't Mule has announced two performances on Saturday, April 27 and Saturday, May 4 at the Orpheum Theater in New Orleans, LA, taking place during New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.This year, the rock torchbearers are planning not one but two shows, doubling up on this always-anticipated annual Jazz Fest tradition. Special guests will be announced soon.

Pre-sale tickets will be available Wednesday February 13 at Noon ET/11am CT. Public on-sale begins Friday February 15 at 11am ET/10am CT. Please visit www.mule.net for all ticketing details.

These newly announced shows come on the heels of the news that Gov't Mule will headline Mountain Jam, taking place June 13-16, 2019, at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts and GRAMMY Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, producer and revered guitarist Warren Haynes will return as co-presenter of the festival for its 15th year.

The pedigree of hallowed '60s trio Cream - Ginger Baker's son Kofi Baker, Jack Bruce's son Malcolm Bruce and Eric Clapton's nephew Will Johns - return to the United States this spring for a new leg of The Music of Cream - 50th Anniversary World Tour. The outing celebrates the extraordinary music and legacy their family members created on the heels of the 50th anniversary since the original lineup's farewell U.S. tour of 1968. PRESS HERE to watch the trailer.

 Kicking off March 22nd in Newton, NJ, the 23-date spring tour will travel throughout the east coast and south stopping in such places as New York City (March 20th at Sony Hall), Lancaster, Rochester, Columbus, Nashville, Fort Lauderdale, Sarasota, New Orleans, Houston and Dallas before wrapping April 20th in San Antonio. See below for full list of tour dates. Tickets are on sale now; PRESS HERE for details.

 First launched in 2017 to rave reviews in Australia and New Zealand, The Music of Cream performed over 40 shows in 2018 across North America and the United Kingdom. Throughout the extensive multi-media show, Kofi Baker (drums), Malcolm Bruce (bass, vocals) and Will Johns (guitar, vocals) perform songs such as "Sunshine of Your Love," "Crossroads," "Spoonful" and "White Room" and tell personal stories, while footage of their fathers and mentors is shown on the big screen.

 Now, Baker says, "I feel more positive that we played the music the way Cream did; we were able to stretch out and improvise and the audience was right there with us. I really enjoyed playing with Will and Malcolm as we share a bond over this music that our fathers created. And meeting the fans after the shows and hearing their thoughts really validated and inspired me to keep playing this music."

 Bruce adds, "The uniqueness of the approach to Cream's music means that I learn and grow every night we play. There is always something new to be discovered in the music: tempo, feel, groove, notes, dynamics, inflection. It is truly wonderful to be able to improvise onstage."

 "The audiences seemed to appreciate, and enjoy, that we were not just copying and actually putting our own slant on things," notes Johns.

 During its heartbreakingly short lifespan, Cream was an explosive musical cocktail that provided the super-group blueprint for others to follow. The group's third album, Wheels of Fire (1968), was the world's first platinum-selling double album, and collectively they sold more than 15 million copies of their albums worldwide. Not surprisingly, Rolling Stone ranked the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group (inducted in 1993) as 67th in their '100 Greatest Artists of All Time' list.

 Apart from an equally brief reunion in 2005 of seven shows at London's Royal Albert Hall and New York's Madison Square Garden, Cream retained an almost mythological status in the music world, right up until the passing of Jack Bruce in 2014. This, for many fans, marked the end of an era and an acceptance that there would never really be another opportunity to celebrate the group's legacy. That is, until The Music of Cream - 50th Anniversary World Tour emerged.

Due to popular demand, GRAMMY Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, producer and revered guitarist Warren Haynes has added a second Warren Haynes Presents: Dreams & Songs - A Symphonic Journey show set for March 17 at 8pm at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Haynes' hometown of Asheville, NC. The original March 16 date sold out so quickly that Haynes is turning what was going to be a one-night-only show into a special two-night event. This weekend of world-class musicianship will kick off the Asheville Symphony's 2019 Asheville Amadeus festival, a 10-day multi-genre Mozart-inspired event fit for all tastes and ages, and will see Haynes leading symphonic adaptations of songs spanning his vast repertoire including tunes by Gov't Mule, Allman Brothers Band and Grateful Dead as well as music from Haynes' solo catalogue and several surprise covers.

For both shows, Haynes will team up with the Asheville Symphony along with Oteil Burbridge on bass (Allman Brothers Band, Dead & Co., The Aquarium Rescue Unit), John Medeski on keyboards (Medeski Martin & Wood, Phil Lesh & Friends) and Jeff Sipe on drums (Aquarium Rescue Unit, Leftover Salmon). Rich Daniels, the versatile musical director of The City Lights Orchestra in Chicago and music director for FOX's hit show Empire, will conduct. Daniels has appeared with some of the greatest names in music including Ray Charles, Garth Brooks, Dionne Warwick, and many more.

Pre-sale tickets for the March 17 Warren Haynes Presents: Dreams & Songs - A Symphonic Journey performance will be available Tuesday February 19 at noon ET. Public on-sale begins Thursday February 21 at 10am ET. For all ticketing details, please visit www.warrenhaynes.net

"We are so excited that the show sold out so quickly and we are happy to announce that we are adding a second performance. I am really looking forward to these shows and am so lucky that three of my favorite musicians in the world will be joining me - Oteil, John and Jeff. This is a project I've been thinking about ever since I was given the opportunity to interpret and celebrate the music of Jerry Garcia with a symphony a few years ago. When I was asked to perform at the Amadeus Festival it seemed like a great time to start diving into my own repertoire and continue my symphonic journey."

Haynes' orchestral brilliance was last on display when he embarked on the Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration Featuring Warren Haynes in 2013 and 2014 - a groundbreaking, hugely popular orchestral adventure curated by the Garcia family that saw Haynes collaborating with some of the country's most respected symphonies to perform Garcia's original compositions as well as classic interpretations of timeless standards that were hallmarks of Garcia and the Grateful Dead's shows.  Now, Warren Haynes Presents: Dreams & Songs - A Symphonic Journey turns the spotlight onto Haynes' catalogue and 30-year career - the first time ever that Haynes has presented a show of his own music through a symphonic prism.The title of the show is a nod to Gov't Mule's gorgeous, emotional track "Dreams & Songs" (PRESS HERE), a moving reflection on how the passing of time and life's changes can move one further away from home, and beautifully captures the yearning to go back to that place, even if just through dreams and songs. Luckily for Haynes fans, he is returning home to Asheville for what is sure to be yet another outstanding evening of music in Haynes' celebrated career.

Americana band The High Plains Drifters have premiered the music video for their debut single "Virginia," a classic rock track about longing to reignite the spark with an old flame. PRESS HERE to watch. Check out the first look on Stage Right Secrets. The colorful music video for "Virginia" is directed by Gabriel Barreto and stars Victor Verhaeghe (Bridge Of Spies, Peel, The Americans, The Night Of). Verhaeghe plays a distraught pastor looking for his "Virginia," the girl that got away. 

Currently charting at numerous radio stations, the band's just-released, self-titled debut album is produced by Greg Cohen (Justin Timberlake, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera and more) and Charles Czarnecki (asst. musical director for the Broadway musical JERSEY BOYS). The album conceptualizes a listening experience of a sonic road trip across the country, where your radio station of choice automatically tunes into different musical genres as you travel. As they propel the listener through various genres (pop-punk, mainstream rock, ballads and more), one thing is certain: The High Plain Drifters offer a cohesive body of "feel good" rock-n-roll. The front man is Larry Studnicky (songwriter, lead & backup vocals), the lawyer who, at the turn of the millennium, structured and closed the landmark label and publisher deals that ushered in the world of digital interactive radio (enjoyed today by listeners of Pandora, Spotifiy, etc.). 

"I'm stoked to release the official video of 'Virginia,' which is a song about the road not taken. This single dates back to my experiences as a young, single guy in Manhattan. My buddies and I would sometimes be lucky enough to meet a fantastic girl, but then we'd manage to screw it up, leaving us wondering 'what if'", says Studnicky. "The music video for 'Virginia' tells the story of a preacher in NYC (played by Victor Verhaeghe of Boardwalk Empire and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) who's desperately searching for a lost love, wishing (as we all do) that he could turn back the hands of time."

The band also features Charles Czarnecki (producer/songwriter, keyboards, lead & backup vocals), John Macom (rhythm & electric guitars, lead & backup vocals) and Mike DoCampo (rhythm & electric guitars, backup vocals), all of whom are lifelong friends that created the group purely to bring happiness to the ears of every listener. Before coming together as The High Plains Drifters, the group's members have worked alongside an array of legendary acts and artists including Pete Townsend, Brian May & Roger Taylor of Queen, Suge Knight of Death Row Records, Fred Schneider of the B-52's, and Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees. John Macom's music has been showcased in indie movies and TV shows, including Dawson's Creek, Party of Five, and Felicity.

Gov't Mule has announced their Spring Tour kicking off on April 12th in Vail, CO. The upcoming run features two back-to-back nights at renowned music club Belly Up in Aspen, CO and at the iconic Georgia Theatre in Athens, GA. Pre-sale tickets will be available Wednesday February 27th and general on-sale begins Friday March 1st. Please visit www.mule.net for all ticketing details.

The Spring Tour announcement comes on the heels of the news that Gov't Mule will perform on Saturday, April 27th and Saturday, May 4th at the Orpheum Theater in New Orleans, LA, taking place during New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. This year, the rock torchbearers are planning not one, but two shows, doubling up on this always-anticipated annual Jazz Fest tradition. Special guests will be announced soon.

Gov't Mule will also headline Mountain Jam, taking place June 13-16, 2019, at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts and GRAMMY Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, producer and revered guitarist Warren Haynes will return as co-presenter of the festival for its 15th year.

Gov't Mule's acclaimed 10th studio album Revolution Come... Revolution Go [Fantasy Records] is out now. PRESS HERE to listen. Spanning rock, blues, soul, jazz and country, the album won over fans and critics alike and shot up the rock charts, nabbing the band their highest-selling debut week ever. Their most diverse offering to date, Revolution Come...Revolution Go showcases the band's evocative songwriting, incendiary playing, cleverly-crafted songs and timely lyrical commentary that speaks to our very divided political climate, poignantly capturing the tension and emotions felt by Americans regardless of political affiliation with a resounding call for unity. PRESS HERE to listen to "Stone Cold Rage." The album also features introspective ruminations on life and love, such as the gorgeous and moving tune "Dreams & Songs" -PRESS HERE.

Gov't Mule -Warren Haynes [vocals, guitar], Matt Abts [drums], Danny Louis [keyboards, guitar, and backing vocals], and Jorgen Carlsson [bass] - has galvanized a global fan base with their music and improvisational virtuosity, leading them to be recognized as one of the most timeless, revered and active bands in the world.

With a singular voice that will stop you in your tracks, British guitar siren and dynamic songwriter Joanne Shaw Taylor will be unleashing her new album in the U.S. where audiences have been discovering her formidable talent that has already blazed a path of overseas acclaim. Reckless Heart, out on May 17th via Silvertone/Sony, is available now for pre-order. PRESS HERE and receive instant downloads of “In The Mood,” “Break My Heart Anyway,” “Bad Love,” and the swaggy, groove-based “The Best Thing.” PRESS HERE to watch the new music video for “Bad Love,” a propulsive and fiery track about skipping town to avoid a heartbreaker.

On the heels of playing to packed venues across the UK, Joanne – a powerhouse performer - will bring her enthralling live show to the States for a run of headline dates and festivals across the country. The U.S. tour kicks off May 17th in celebration of the release of Reckless Heart and will continue through the fall. Tickets are on sale now at www.joanneshawtaylor.com. For a taste of what’s in store, PRESS HERE to check out Joanne’s live performance on BBC 2’s Later…with Jools Holland.

Featuring Joanne’s smoky rasp that rises from the legend of soul greats, Reckless Heart finds her in glorious form and a mischievous mood, one minute bearing her claws with catty lyrics and the next deliriously in love. Illuminating all the corners of her firecracker personality, Reckless Heart was borne out of a newfound openness and confidence that can only come with life experience. Both a make-up and a break-up album, it was written by Joanne during two phases of a relationship: the fall out and getting back together. The 11-song collection explores emotions ranging from blaring anger to flirty love, from the rollicking “In The Mood” and the gritty, gospel-tinged “Reckless Heart” to the gorgeous, acoustic guitar-led “Break My Heart Anyway” and the unplugged gem “Jake’s Boogie,” recorded entirely live.

In several senses, it’s an album of firsts for Joanne - the first made in her adopted home town of Detroit, the first produced by her close friend Al Sutton (Greta Van Fleet, Kid Rock), the first largely recorded live (with no guitar pedals, and with some of Detroit’s best musicians – among them jazz drummer Ron Otis, bassist James Simonson, and keyboardists Phil Hale and Chris Codish), the first to feature an unplugged solo performance, and the first with her new label home Silvertone/Sony, following in the footsteps of Silvertone artists that she grew up listening to like Buddy Guy, John Mayall and Stone Roses.  But it’s also an album that pulls the past into the present. The good-time grooves of vintage, British blues-rock are given a modern makeover, while Joanne’s cut-to-the-bone vocals take their cue from her soul heroines like Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, and Mavis Staples.

Throughout her career, Joanne has won over fans such as Steve Wonder, Joe Bonamassa (whose band played on Joanne’s 2016’s UK Top 20 hit album Wild), Foreigner (whom she opened for at venues like Royal Albert Hall) and Annie Lennox (with whom she performed in front of Buckingham Palace for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert in 2012). Discovered at age 16 by Eurythmics co-founder Dave Stewart, she has spent a decade releasing increasingly successful albums, touring the world, headlining festivals, and amassing awards, and 2019 is sure to bring a lot more from Joanne.

Texas and UK-based rockers Ryan Hamilton and The Harlequin Ghosts unveiled the official music video today for their new single "Mamacita," the lead track off their debut album, This Is The Sound, due out Friday, May 31st via Steven Van Zandt's label, Wicked Cool Records. The exuberant video showcases the band's dynamic live show along with an array of fans dancing and singing along to the riff-laden track that Ryan co-wrote with Little Steven, who also contributes to the song's rippin' guitar solo. PRESS HERE to watch.

"The two things I'm most proud of is our reputation as a great LIVE band and the large, ever-growing group of amazing fans (they feel more like family) who support us," Ryan shared with Music Existence, who first premiered the video. "This video feels special to us, because it features both of those things."

"Mamacita" follows the band's previously released song, "Bottoms Up (Here's To Goodbye)," their first official release in late 2018, which is also featured on the upcoming album. Both tracks promptly earned Coolest Song In The World status from Little Steven upon their releases. All 12 new songs on This Is The Sound, recorded in the U.K. last year, find Ryan and the band on familiar musical footing, staying true to an aesthetic that's a modern distillation of their classic influences. PRESS HERE to pre-order This Is The Sound, which is being released via Wicked Cool Records in partnership with The Orchard. See below for full tracklisting.

Prior to the album's release, Hamilton, the group's only American, and the U.K.-based Ghosts are supporting Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers on a run of U.S. spring dates. Ryan will perform a solo, acoustic set opening for Clyne at a handful of Midwest dates in April and then the full band - core members Mickey Richards (drums) and Rob Lane (bass) along with Carol Hodge (keyboards and backing vocals) and Dave Winkler (lead guitar), who round-out the lineup when they perform as a five-piece - head to the West Coast for shows in May. See below for list of upcoming dates and visit www.ryanhamiltonmusic.com for more information.

After stints in the bands People On Vacation (with Bowling For Soup's Jaret Reddick and Ghosts members Richards and Lane) and Smile Smile, this current phase of Ryan's career began with a late 2016 single called "Fuck You Brain," which he wrote and recorded with friend Ginger Wildheart of the legendary U.K. hard rock band The Wildhearts. The melodically rocking track caught the attention of Wicked Cool honcho Steven Van Zandt, who added it to his Underground Garage playlist, along with half the songs from Ryan Hamilton and The Traitors' 2017 album The Devil's In The Detail, the first album from the band prior to the name change. Ryan's classic rock influences - among them The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, David Bowie - combined with a bit of country music from growing up in a small town just outside of Fort Worth, Texas laid the foundation on which Ryan Hamilton and The Harlequin Ghosts formed.

Genre-defying funk-jazz-soul-hip-hop-psychedelic-jam-art-rock-experimental-avant-garde music titans Lettuce have officially revealed the details for their sixth studio album, Elevate, set for release on Friday, June 14th (Regime Music Group). New single "Krewe," a western-meets-'60s Ethiopian funk song, is available now; PRESS HERE to listen and receive an instant download with any album pre-order. Check out the first look of "Krewe" via BrooklynVegan, who noted, "['Krewe'] is a very catchy slice of instrumental funk; you can hear both the psychedelic influence and the hip hop influence coming through on this one."

Produced by Lettuce and recorded at Colorado Sound Studio outside of Denver with legendary engineer Russ Elevado (D'Angelo, The Roots, Erykah Badu), Elevate marks the band's first new original music in three years and is a dynamic showcase of their ever-changing and all-inclusive musical palette. The six-member collective - Grammy-nominated drummer and percussionist Adam Deitch, guitarist Adam "Shmeeans" Smirnoff, bassist Erick "Jesus" Coomes, Grammy Award-winning keyboardist and vocalist Nigel Hall, Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Ryan Zoidis and Grammy Award-winning trumpet player Eric "Benny" Bloom - maintains its eclectic, free-wheeling approach while embracing a progressive and futuristic vibe, with elements of Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, Eno and Miles Davis, thanks to their love of improvisational music and arts. Much of the warm, analog feel running throughout the album can be attributed to Zoidis' new toy, a vintage Korg X-911 synth.

Lettuce explores its funk roots in the Tower of Power-like punch of "Ready to Live" (a cover of a song by Cold Blood's Lydia Pense), the Prince-like swagger of "Royal Highness" and the OG blues-soul of "Love Is Too Strong," which sees a vocal cameo from Marcus King. Expanded trip-hop sounds create a space age audio-scape on tracks like "Trapezoid," "Gang 10" and "Purple Cabbage." Their take on the Tears For Fears hit "Everybody Wants to Rule The World" features Hall on vocals, and Smirnoff nods to Carlos Santana and Trey Anastasio on the Latin-flavored and playfully named "Shmink Dabby." Full track listing is below.

Get to know the members of Lettuce with behind-the-scenes vignettes filmed during the recording process of Elevate. The six-part series called "The Krewe - A Lettuce Documentary Series" will debut next week via the band's Youtube page with an in-depth interview with bassist Erick "Jesus" Coomes; PRESS HERE to watch the trailer.

The road warriors will bring their blissful rhythms and sonic grooves to an extensive 2019 tour that continues April 20th with a headline show at The Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY with special guest famed jazz guitarist John Scofield, followed by a stop in The Big Easy on May 2nd for a Jazz Fest show called RAGE!FEST at The Joy Theater in New Orleans that will feature special guest Oteil Burbridge and support from The Soul Rebels. Lettuce will officially celebrate the release of Elevate at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Saturday, June 15th with their 4th annual Rage Rocks show featuring two full sets from Lettuce, one of which will be a Jerry Garcia Band cover set, along with support from TAUK and The Soul Rebels. See below for the band's full list of upcoming tour dates for the year, including headlining and festival dates, and visit www.lettucefunk.com for all ticketing details, including VIP information to Elevate the experience. The VIP upgrade includes meet & greet and photo with the band, invitation to attend soundcheck, early venue entry and crowd-free merchandise shopping, signed set list, and Elevate Merch Pack (signed poster, sunglasses, bandana and koozie), in addition to hanging out and spinning vinyl with Lettuce at the VIP Pre-Rage.

PRESS HERE to watch a recent performance from Lettuce on PBS' Bluegrass Underground, taped deep within the subterranean amphitheater of The Caverns in the majestic Cumberland Mountains near Pelham, TN.

A powerhouse collective made up of world-class master musicians, Lettuce are known for their incendiary live shows, extensive touring, die-hard fans, and massive two-decade-plus career. They are also some of the most highly sought-after musicians in the industry with roots that run deep into the worlds of hip-hop, pop, and beyond working and performing alongside the likes of Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, Justin Timberlake, The Fugees, Eminem, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent,  Britney Spears, DJ Quik, Gary Clark Jr., Skrillex, The Game, Talib Kweli, Anthony Hamilton, Solange, Chaka Khan, Redman & Method Man, Robin Thicke, Preservation Hall, Dave Matthews Band, Gov't Mule, Bob Weir, John Mayer, Aaron Neville, and more.

It's been more than 25 years since the formation of Lettuce, a democratic ensemble in which there is no leader, but a complete unit that functions as a single entity with plenty of moving parts. The magic continues to grow with the band's new album, Elevate.

Reggae-influenced alternative rock band Iration officially kicks off their "Live From Paradise!" tour tonight in Albuquerque, NM, bringing the aloha spirit and good vibes across the country this spring and summer. The 43-date outing, featuring special guests Pepper, Fortunate Youth and Katastro, marks the group's largest tour to date since their formation nearly 15 years ago.

Of the tour, guitarist Micah Brown recently explained to Billboard.com, "Every night we create a little bit of paradise for the people that are coming to the show. Live From Paradise was kind of a tongue-in-cheek term where every night, wherever you are, it's your paradise. It is a positive healthy way of looking at life."

The upcoming shows will feature a mix of hits and rarities off Iration's six studio albums, including their most recent self-titled release from 2018 (Three Prong Records). Lead vocalist and guitarist Micah Pueschel described the Iration album to Billboard as "extremely eclectic" and added, "we do a lot of different things and we try to make good songs. We don't really care what genre it is or if it fits into one kind of bag." As Billboard's Taylor Mims pointed out, "the album stretches out for more than an hour without ever losing its captivating reggae-tinged vibes, which makes it an ideal accompaniment for the list of outdoor stages they'll headline this summer." PRESS HERE to read the full Billboard interview.

In anticipation of the "Live From Paradise!" launch, the Hawaiian-bred, California-based band (Micah Pueschel [lead vocals/guitar], Adam Taylor [bass], Joe Dickens [drums], Cayson Peterson [keyboards], Micah Brown [guitar/vocals] plus touring member Drake Peterson [trumpet]) dropped a new music video last week for the Iration track "Stay The Course," which digs into the band's personal archives to depict their career evolution and growth. "'Stay The Course' is a song about perseverance and believing in yourself even when you feel down or alone," shares Iration. "It's about finding the greatness that you possess inside of you and nurturing it. The video is a time piece for the band and tells the story of our journey from garage band to where we are now." PRESS HERE to watch the new video for "Stay The Course" and PRESS HERE to listen to Iration.

"Live From Paradise!" brings Iration and friends to Austin, Dallas, New Orleans, St. Petersburg, Charlotte, Asbury Park, Cincinnati, Detroit, Milwaukee and Kansas City, among many others this April and May. The summer run then commences July 11th in Oklahoma City and stops in such markets as Minneapolis, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City (July 19th at The Rooftop at Pier 17), Boston, Baltimore, Raleigh, Houston, Irvine (August 2nd at FivePoint Amphitheatre), Sacramento, Boise and Las Vegas, before wrapping in Iration's Santa Barbara hometown August 25th for their first official headlining show at the Santa Barbara Bowl. Additionally, Iration performs at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on May 23rd for a special headlining show with special guests UB40 featuring Ali Campbell & Astro, Toots and the Maytals, Fortunate Youth and more for their first time topping the lineup at the legendary Colorado venue.

GRAMMY-nominated artist, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Cisco Adler has announced his forthcoming album Hippieland, out June 14th via his label Bananabeat Records. Today, Cisco also released the first visual introduction to Hippieland with the new music video for lead single, "Somethin' More." Shot as a day-in-the-life, the video mirrors the song's relaxed, bright melody and Cisco's barefoot and fancy free vibe as it focuses on the simplicity of life. PRESS HERE to watch the new music video and check out Popdust's first look. "Somethin' More,"which features back-up vocals from Mike Posner and Cody Simpson, is the first taste of Cisco's new music and acts as a sweet reminder that it's okay to want more than we have as long as we can be thankful for having what we need. PRESS HERE to pre-order the album and receive an instant download of the track.

Cisco Adler welcomes you to Hippieland, the start of a new artist chapter, uncovering the core of who he is as a music man - one with freedom of expression, freedom of self, and freedom from inhibitions. "Hippieland is a state of mind. A place I choose to reside in all the time," shares Cisco. "I am constantly counting my blessings and smiling in the rain. The rain can be as beautiful as the sun and even more fun to dance in." Holing up at his seaside Bananabeat Studios in Malibu, he personally wrote and produced the entire album in addition to performing vocals, acoustic, bass, and drums with collaborator Martin Estrada on electric guitar. The album is a snapshot of Cisco's essence while allowing him to speak his truth as an artist in music and life from the carefree "Sunday Vibe" featuring Jamtown cohort G. Love to surf-rocking swagger track "High Tide Again" and the blissfully sweet "Everyday Love" to the stripped down, live performance of "Limousine Driver" which finds Cisco with just his guitar and a song.

Cisco Adler will be bringing his California-kissed, roots-tinged indie-pop to major cities across the country with a run of select dates this Spring, where he will be performing brand new material. Beginning April 27th in New York City, Cisco will make stops in DC, Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles before wrapping on May 31st in San Francisco. Tickets are on sale now at www.ciscoadler.org.

As a genre-hopping creative, Cisco Adler has built a celebrated career working across the entertainment industry in many roles, but it is his own artistry that provides the most personal glimpse into Cisco. His teen years spent as a hip-hop head serve as the basis for his rap-like lyrical inspiration and growing up in between the canyons and beaches of Malibu and Maui is the backdrop that frames his perspective and voice. Cisco Adler sounds like a summer day in California with catchy hooks, clever lyrics and breezy melodies that continue to connect with a worldwide community of fans. 

 Among his many musical projects, Cisco hit the charts with his duo Shwayze and their Top 40 beach-rap take over with their ubiquitous summer jams "Buzzin'" and "Corona and Lime" and collaborated with G. Love and Donavon Frankenreiter for their Americana-meets-surf rock project Jamtown. Cisco had a Top 5 Alternative Rock hit with Mickey Avalon's "Jane Fonda" and a bonafide cult classic with Dirt Nasty's "1980" helping to shape an LA movement and cementing his status as the new keeper of the California sound. Cisco's wide-ranging catalogue encompasses work with the likes of Mike Posner, Adam Lambert, G-Eazy, The Internet, Vic Mensa, Fergie, Tinashe, Gnash, Cody Simpson, and more. He landed a track on The Hangover Soundtrack with Lil Jon and several other major film syncs, and also produced the soundtrack to FOX's reimagined version of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW: Let's Do the Time Warp Again. Cisco's label Bananabeat Records is a talent incubator and cultural collective based in Malibu.

Preston Lovinggood has released his video for “Taken in The Night,” PRESS HERE to watch video and PRESS HERE to stream. “The video is a metaphor for wanting love in the present and forgiving yourself for the hurt you caused to others and to yourself,” Lovinggood told Substream Magazine, who premiered the new single. “The women in the car represents a romance of the past which leads to the blindness of the protagonist. He is disoriented and can’t see the love that is being offered to him in the now.” Preston does state, “I do think there is a certain hope to the video, though, in the end he is standing outside the car, open to life.”

Of the single, Substream Magazine said, “This isn’t a sugarcoated love ballad: it’s a look at the work that goes in. He sings about all the small moments and challenges that can come with love, and implores the listener to ‘let your guard down’ and work towards a healthier center.”

The single is set to join Lovinggood’s previously released singles, “Moon Fever” and “Everything Will Be Okay,” on his forthcoming album Consequences, set for release May 17 via Last Gang Records. Digital pre-order and limited edition pink vinyl physical pre-order are available now – PRESS HERE.

Lovinggood will play 4 dates in support of the release of Consequences including a show at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC. Tickets can be purchased here. Full itinerary can be found below:

May 28 – Rockwood Music Hall – New York, NY

June 20 – The Earl – Atlanta, GA

June 21 – The High Watt – Nashville, TN

June 22 – WorkPlay – Birmingham, AL

Managing to conjure a unique soundscape of its own, like sun-kissed, modern pop that pulls off the neat trick of appearing straightforward when, upon further inspection, the music often trails off into subtle psychedelic curls, Lovinggood’s third full-length release, is his most concise, hook-laden album to date. At just under 40 minutes, Consequences, with its rich productions and scrupulous observations peppered through the lyrics begs for repeat listening. “Everything Will Be Okay,” “Taken in the Night,” “Divorce,” and the beautifully orchestrated title-track are breathtaking, sweet, hilarious, hallucinatory, and devastating – often all at once. “Moon Fever” is arguably the spiritual centerpiece of the album.

Rock titans Gov't Mule have announced the release of Bring On The Music - Live at The Capitol Theatre, a brand new live CD/DVD package out June 28th via Provogue / Mascot Label Group. Filmed at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, on April 27th and 28th, 2018, the 9-camera video shoot was directed by renowned music photographer and director Danny Clinch (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, Phish). The release features more than 2 hours of live music, a full-length concert film, interviews with the band, behind-the-scenes footage, photos shot by Danny Clinch over the years, and more. This is the first time that Gov't Mule's updated stage set and production have been filmed, bringing the excitement and spectacle of a Gov't Mule show directly into fans' homes. PRESS HERE to watch the teaser for Bring On The Music - Live at The Capitol Theatre, and check out the first look and the first interview about the release with front man GRAMMY Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, producer and revered guitarist Warren Haynes via Rolling Stone. The release will be available in a variety of configurations: a 2 CD/2 DVD deluxe package (the CD and DVD feature entirely different track lists and includes bonus videos of "Soulshine" and "Traveling Tune"), two separate double-vinyl packages, digital, Blu-ray and a 2-CD package (featuring audio from the film). PRESS HERE to pre-order and for more details on each offering.

The title, Bring On The Music, taken from Gov't Mule's song of the same name that touches upon the passing of time and appreciating life's journey, is a nod to the band's treasured relationship with their fans. The Capitol Theatre has been the backdrop of many unforgettable shows for the band and is one of Gov't Mule's favorite venues to play. Inviting longtime Mule photographer and friend Danny Clinch to direct the film was also something of a destined choice, as Clinch's relationship with Haynes pre-dates the band's formation. A wide-ranging song selection from Gov't Mule's acclaimed catalog is featured on the deluxe release. Highlights include "Life Before Insanity" (the title track from their 2000 studio album), "Mr. Man" (from their 2004 album Déjà Voodoo) and several songs from the band's most recent studio album Revolution Come... Revolution Go.

The news of the live release comes alongside the announcement of Gov't Mule's summer tour kicking off June 21st in Cincinnati, OH. Pre-sale tickets will be available Wednesday May 8th. Public on-sale begins Friday May 10th. Please visit www.mule.net for all ticketing details. Gov't Mule is currently on the road and gearing up for their second show at the Orpheum Theater in New Orleans, LA, on May 4th, part of their always-anticipated Jazz Fest tradition, before traveling across the pond for their UK/European run. Gov't Mule will also headline Mountain Jam with a double-header performance on June 14th and 15th at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Warren Haynes will return as co-presenter of the festival for its 15th year.

Visionary rock band Nowhere Nation has released their debut single, "Omicron," the title track from the band's forthcoming visual concept album that tells the story of a corrupt, beyond-secret government agency. PRESS HERE to watch the animated video for "Omicron." Check out the first listen on New Noise Magazine. Created by Arthur Blume and produced by Doug Rockwell (5 Seconds of Summer, Sleeping with Sirens), each track from Omicron threads together a rich concept depicted across the album's twelve tracks architected similar to an adrenaline-pumping mini-movie. The world of Omicron (release date TBA) is inspired by the current socio-political climate in the United States, and features accompanying graphic-novel-style illustrations by Aidan Hughes of KMFDM fame. The mysterious and alluring "Omicron"recounts the first part of the album's gripping story, which depicts a revolutionary romantic triangle between a secret agent, an assassin, and the head of an uber-secret agency all through the lens of social critique.

"Omicron" introduces the story of Seven, a secret agent that finds himself in a state of constant paranoia and hypervigilance, haunted by flashbacks of the immoral operations he's been involved in. Safely in an airport after killing one of his pursuers, he sees news of a bombing in a refugee camp, feels haunting guilt for placing the bomb, and resolves to leave the agency. The cinematic instrumentals and lyrics provide a vivid look into the character's perturbed state of mind. Seven reflects: "what's my name and what's my crime, a whole life I don't recognize." 

"Omicron, both the album and the song, mean a great deal to me. I've spent years ruminating about the challenges America and the world has faced over the last twenty years, the trials yet to come, and how people will grapple with those challenges both alone and amidst all kinds of relationships," shares Blume. "I feel incredibly lucky to be bringing this story and characters to life via Doug Rockwell's amazing production and Aidan Hughes' unforgettable art, and I'm beyond excited to finally welcome listeners into the world of Omicron and beyond."

Stay tuned for more updates on Nowhere Nation and the forthcoming album Omicron.

RiversEdge Amphitheater in Hamilton, Ohio will host David Shaw's “Big River Get Down Presented by Miller Lite” on Friday, September 6 and Saturday, September 7. As a native of Hamilton, Ohio, the Big River Get Down is a very special event for David Shaw, the charismatic frontman of chart-topping rock band The Revivalists. The festival, which has morphed into a national destination for The Revivalists’ fans across the country, is a way for Shaw to give something back to a community that has given so much. This year marks the fifth anniversary of Big River Get Down and the eighth consecutive year The Revivalists will perform at RiversEdge.

In 2017, Hamilton’s City Council adopted a law honorarily changing the name of the city to “JAM!LTON” and appointing David Shaw as Mayor of JAM!LTON on an annual basis during Big River Get Down. On Friday, September 6th, Shaw will host “An Evening with David Shaw,” an intimate solo acoustic performance at the Fitton Center for Creative Arts available as part of the JAM!LTON VIP Experience package. On Saturday, September 7th, The Big River Get Down at RiversEdge Amphitheater will feature a headlining performance by The Revivalists with additional performances by The War And Treaty, Brent Cobb, Southern Avenue, Neal Francis, and Chris Gelbuda.

Tickets for “An Evening with David Shaw” are available only as part of the JAM!LTON VIP Experience. A limited number of David Shaw meet and greet tickets are also available with the JAM!LTON VIP Experience. General admission tickets for David Shaw’s Big River Get Down at RiversEdge Amphitheater are $38 and available now. For all ticketing details, please visit bigrivergetdown.com.

For Shaw, hosting Big River Get Down in his hometown is about more than just the music; it’s an effort to make the City of Hamilton an even better place to live, work, and play. “Being able to come back to my hometown and host an event like this is something I’ve always dreamed of doing since I started playing music,” shares Shaw. “It’s exciting to see people from all over the country coming to my hometown to share this experience with us. The Big River Get Down is also a great way for me to give something back to a community that has given me so much. Hamilton has made great strides over the past several years, and I’m thrilled this event can lend a hand in the City’s ongoing renaissance.” To help David accomplish this mission, all of the proceeds from the festival will be donated to the City of Hamilton's 4th of July fireworks and RiversEdge Concert Series. Since its inception in 2015, David Shaw’s Big River Get Down has donated more than $80,000 to these events and has helped attract other talented musicians to perform free concerts at RiversEdge Amphitheater.

Texas and U.K.-based rockers Ryan Hamilton and The Harlequin Ghosts have released the lyric video for their new song "Far Cry," the latest track off their debut album, This Is The Sound, due out Friday, May 31st via Steven Van Zandt's label, Wicked Cool Records. "Far Cry" is a nostalgia-inducing classic rock-style track about being a "far cry" away from who you imagined yourself to be. PRESS HERE to listen to the song on all DSPs and PRESS HERE to watch the lyric video, which premiered with Pure Grain Audio today.

"I think the sentiment of this song is something everyone can relate to," shares Hamilton. "As kids, we have these crazy, far-fetched ideas about what we wanna be when we grow up...or maybe, later down the road, you thought you found 'the one' in High School, only to find out you don't really know what the hell love even is...yet. Haha! We all grow up and grow into what life delivers. The trick, if you ask me, is not settling, but at the same time finding happiness in the hand you're dealt."

"Far Cry" follows the band's previously released tracks off the forthcoming album "Get Down" and "Mamacita," the latter of which is currently thriving on radio across the U.K.. All 12 new songs on This Is The Sound, recorded in the U.K. last year, find Ryan and the band on familiar musical footing, staying true to an aesthetic that's a modern distillation of their classic influences. PRESS HERE to pre-order This Is The Sound, which is being released via Wicked Cool Records in partnership with The Orchard. See below for full tracklisting.

Hamilton, the group's only American, and the U.K.-based Ghosts - core members Mickey Richards (drums) and Rob Lane (bass) along with Carol Hodge (keyboards and backing vocals) and Dave Winkler (lead guitar), who round-out the lineup when they perform as a five-piece - recently wrapped a string of U.S. tour dates supporting Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers, giving fans across the country an early chance to experience the band's new music.

After stints in the bands People On Vacation (with Bowling For Soup's Jaret Reddick and Ghosts members Richards and Lane) and Smile Smile, this current phase of Ryan's career began with a late 2016 single called "Fuck You Brain," which he wrote and recorded with friend Ginger Wildheart of the legendary U.K. hard rock band The Wildhearts. The melodically rocking track caught the attention of Wicked Cool honcho Steven Van Zandt, who added it to his Underground Garage playlist, along with half the songs from Ryan Hamilton and The Traitors' 2017 album The Devil's In The Detail, the first album from the band prior to the name change. Ryan's classic rock influences - among them The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, David Bowie - combined with a bit of country music from growing up in a small town just outside of Fort Worth, Texas laid the foundation on which Ryan Hamilton and The Harlequin Ghosts formed.

THIS IS THE SOUND TRACKLISTING

2. "Bottoms Up (Here's To Goodbye)"

3. "Feels Like Falling In Love"

4. "Get Down"

Rock titans Gov’t Mule have released “Life Before Insanity,” the first cut from their forthcoming live album and film package, Bring On The Music – Live at The Capitol Theatre out June 28th via Provogue / Mascot Label Group. PRESS HERE to watch. The film, directed by renowned music photographer and director Danny Clinch (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, Phish) in a 9-camera shoot, was captured during two special nights at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, on April 27th and 28th, 2018. Led by the rich, honeyed vocals of Gov’t Mule front man GRAMMY Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, producer, and revered guitarist Warren Haynes, “Life Before Insanity” showcases the band’s jam-packed live spectacle and master musicianship through a cinematic lens that is sure to thrill fans. Haynes shares, “I’m happy we included the song "Life Before Insanity,” the title track of our third record, as it is a good representation of that era of the band. The fans will enjoy it as it hadn’t been performed in quite a while and we just recently started playing it again."

PRESS HERE to pre-order the live album/film package and receive an instant audio download of the live rendition of “Life Before Insanity,” a song that first debuted as the title track to Gov’t Mule’s 2000 studio album. PRESS HERE to watch the teaser for the Bring On The Music – Live at The Capitol Theatre release, featuring more than 5 hours of live music including a full-length concert film, interviews with the band, behind-the-scenes footage, photos shot by Danny Clinch over the years, and more. This is the first time that Gov’t Mule’s updated stage set and production have been filmed, bringing the excitement and spectacle of a Gov’t Mule show directly into fans’ homes. The release will be available in a variety of configurations: a 2 CD/2 DVD deluxe package (the CD and DVD feature entirely different track lists and includes bonus videos of “Soulshine” and “Traveling Tune”), two separate double-vinyl packages, digital, Blu-ray and a 2-CD package (featuring audio from the film). Check out the first interview about the release with Warren Haynes via Rolling Stone.

The title, Bring On The Music, taken from Gov’t Mule’s song of the same name that touches upon the passing of time and appreciating life’s journey, is a nod to the band’s treasured relationship with their fans. The Capitol Theatre has been the backdrop of many unforgettable shows for the band and is one of Gov’t Mule’s favorite venues to play. Inviting longtime Mule photographer and friend Danny Clinch to direct the film was also something of a destined choice, as Clinch’s relationship with GRAMMY Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, producer, and revered guitarist Warren Haynes pre-dates the band’s formation. A wide-ranging song selection from Gov’t Mule’s acclaimed catalog is featured on the releases.

Gov’t Mule will travel across the pond for their UK/European run which kicks off on May 27th in Glasgow before returning for the US leg of their summer tour on June 21st in Cincinnati, OH. Please visit www.mule.net for all ticketing details. Gov’t Mule will also headline Mountain Jam with a double-header performance on June 14th and 15th at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Warren Haynes will return as co-presenter of the festival for its 15th year.

As they gear up to release their next studio album, Elevate, genre-defying funk-jazz-soul-hip-hop-psychedelic-jam-art-rock-experimental-avant-garde music titans Lettuce have released their new single "Everybody Wants To Rule The World," their jazzy take on the Tears For Fears hit featuring Nigel Hall on vocals. PRESS HERE to listen. The latest track off the forthcoming album, due out Friday, June 14th via Lettuce Records, first premiered online via Parade magazine, who noted, "Lettuce takes this familiar tune and spins it with velvety vocals, a laid-back groove, and some sweet horn punctuation. The result is a satisfying dish of trippy vibin' with a healthy dose of excellent musical interpretation," following an early listen this week on SiriusXM's Jam On channel.

"We feel it's time to put aside our differences, let go of our egos and embrace our society with love, acceptance and a collective perseverance. We know together we can make it, we know that well, so this song is a reminder to live together in harmony," says bassist Erick "Jesus" Coomes of the new song, one of two covers featured on Elevate.

Vocalist and keyboardist Nigel Hall shares, "This is a song I've always loved from the movie Real Genius from way back in the day...I've always felt a connection with this song, as I never like to sing covers that I can't relate to. We hope that you enjoy our version as we've tried to make it dope, which I think we did."

 "'Everybody Wants To Rule The World' represents a state of mind that some of us can find ourselves in at any point in our lives," adds Eric "Benny" Bloom (trumpet). "If we can identify when we are headed in that direction, rising above that one-sided thought process is what our purpose in life should be. Finding your own place in this universe is not easy, but it takes patience, love and kindness. We should always use our will for the greater good and be conscious of when our actions become self-serving."

Produced by Lettuce and recorded at Colorado Sound Studio outside of Denver with legendary engineer Russ Elevado (D'Angelo, The Roots, Erykah Badu), Elevate, the band's sixth studio album and first new, original music in three years, is a dynamic showcase of their ever-changing and all-inclusive musical palette. The six-member collective - Grammy-nominated drummer and percussionist Adam Deitch, guitarist Adam "Shmeeans" Smirnoff, bassist Erick "Jesus" Coomes, Grammy Award-winning keyboardist and vocalist Nigel Hall, Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Ryan Zoidis and Grammy Award-winning trumpet player Eric "Benny" Bloom - maintains its eclectic, free-wheeling approach while embracing a progressive and futuristic vibe, with elements of Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, Eno and Miles Davis, thanks to their love of improvisational music and arts. Lettuce explores its funk roots in the Tower of Power-like punch of "Ready to Live" (a cover of a song by Cold Blood's Lydia Pense), the Prince-like swagger of "Royal Highness" and the OG blues-soul of "Love Is Too Strong," which sees a vocal cameo from Marcus King. Expanded trip-hop sounds create a space age audio-scape on tracks like "Trapezoid," "Gang 10" and "Purple Cabbage." Other album highlights include first single, "Krewe," a western-meets-'60s Ethiopian funk song, and Smirnoff's nod to Carlos Santana and Trey Anastasio on the Latin-flavored and playfully named "Shmink Dabby." Full track listing is below. PRESS HERE to pre-order Elevate now.

The road warriors, who will bring their blissful rhythms and sonic grooves to an extensive U.S. tour throughout the year, will officially celebrate the release of Elevate at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Saturday, June 15th with their 4th annual Rage Rocks show featuring two full sets from Lettuce, one of which will be a Jerry Garcia Band cover set, along with support from TAUK and The Soul Rebels. See below for all upcoming tour dates, including headlining and festival dates, and visit www.lettucefunk.com for ticketing details, including VIP information to Elevate the experience. The VIP upgrade includes meet & greet and photo with the band, invitation to attend soundcheck, early venue entry and crowd-free merchandise shopping, signed set list, and Elevate Merch Pack (signed poster, sunglasses, bandana and koozie), in addition to hanging out and spinning vinyl with Lettuce at the VIP Pre-Rage.

Leading up to the release of Elevate, Lettuce has been rolling out a six-part behind-the-scenes series called "The Krewe - A Lettuce Documentary Series," filmed during the album's recording process. Click each band member name to watch their interviews and stay tuned to the band's official YouTube page for the remaining episodes: Erick "Jesus" Coomes, Adam Deitch, Adam "Shmeeans" Smirnoff, Nigel Hall.

A powerhouse collective made up of world-class master musicians, Lettuce are known for their incendiary live shows, extensive touring, die-hard fans, and massive two-decade-plus career. They are also some of the most highly sought-after musicians in the industry with roots that run deep into the worlds of hip-hop, pop, and beyond working and performing alongside the likes of Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, Justin Timberlake, The Fugees, Eminem, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent,  Britney Spears, DJ Quik, Gary Clark Jr., Skrillex, The Game, Talib Kweli, Anthony Hamilton, Solange, Chaka Khan, Redman & Method Man, Robin Thicke, Preservation Hall, Dave Matthews Band, Gov't Mule, Bob Weir, John Mayer, Aaron Neville, and more.

It's been more than 25 years since the formation of Lettuce, a democratic ensemble in which there is no leader, but a complete unit that functions as a single entity with plenty of moving parts. The magic continues to grow with the band's new album, Elevate.

The chart-topping New Orleans eight-piece's soulful alt-rock anthems translate into a live firepower during their renowned live shows, complete with soaring pedal steel guitar, pounding percussion, irresistible horns and charismatic frontman David Shaw's undeniable voice. The Revivalists had been grinding for 10 years when their now platinum-selling single "Wish I Knew You" took off. Their new studio album Take Good Care (Loma Vista Recordings)captures both the celebratory and cathartic moments that ensued, as heard on songs such as the #1 Triple A and Top 5 Alternative single "All My Friends"and new #1 Triple A and Top 15 Alternative hit single "Change". Amassing more than 300 million total streams, The Revivalists have performed on numerous television shows including The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, Ellen and TODAY, with an upcoming appearance on Austin City Limits, and have garnered major media attention for their "creative, compelling blend of musical ingenuity and heart..." (Billboard) and their distinct mix of "just about every classic school of American music" (UPROXX). Variety praised the band as "good old-fashioned rock and roll....," while Rolling Stone lauded them as an"Artist You Need To Know" and Boston Herald called them "budding superstars." They were nominated for a Billboard Music Award and two iHeartRadio Music Awards, were named Billboard's Top New Rock Artist of 2017 and have three years of back-to-back sold out headline tours in their biggest venues to date, including Red Rocks, two back-to-back nights at NYC's Beacon Theatre, and a recent electrifying hometown set headlining their stage at New Orleans Jazz Fest.The Revivalists' U.S. headlining tour is currently underway with their summer run includes Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Festival, Mountain Jam, ALT 92.3's Summer Open (with The Lumineers), and LOCKN' Festival.

The Revivalists are: David Shaw [lead vocals, guitar], Zack Feinberg [guitar], Andrew Campanelli [drums], George Gekas [bass], Ed Williams [pedal steel guitar], Rob Ingraham [saxophone], Michael Girardot [keyboard, trumpet], and PJ Howard [drums, percussion].

The Rolling Stones will make stops in 15 cities across the US and Canada.

Bring On The Music – Live at The Capitol Theatre is out June 28th via Provogue / Mascot Label Group. The film was captured in a 9-camera shoot during two special nights at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, in April 2018.  A wide-ranging song selection from Gov’t Mule’s acclaimed catalog is featured on the releases, which will come in a variety of configurations (2 CD/2 DVD deluxe package (the CD and DVD feature entirely different track lists,) two separate double-vinyl packages, digital, Blu-ray and a 2-CD package (featuring audio from the film). Inviting longtime Mule photographer and friend Danny Clinch to direct the film was also something of a destined choice, as Clinch's relationship with GRAMMY Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, producer, and revered guitarist Warren Haynes pre-dates the band's formation.

A wide-ranging song selection from Gov't Mule's acclaimed catalog is featured on the releases. The band has galvanized a global fan base with their honest, organic and daring music and improvisational virtuosity, leading them to be recognized as one of the most timeless, revered and active bands in the world whose spot amongst rock titans remains unshakable.

Full tour routing is below and tickets are on sale now -PRESS HEREto purchase.

In 2018, Rebelution released their 6th studio album Free Rein (87 Music/Easy Star Records) which debuted at #5 on iTunes Top 100 albums chart, entered the Billboard Top 200 chart at #41 and took the coveted #1 spot (and still holding strong at #4) on Billboard's Reggae chart. The 12-track LP fuses Rebelution's classic reggae sound with genres spanning R&B, rock, jazz and folk; this is Rebelution's most diverse album to date. The bold move from the powerhouse band proves their artistry and experimental prowess, though their signature laidback Summery reggae sound still shines through (thanks in part to collaborations with acclaimed Jamaican producers Don Corleon [Rihanna, Sean Paul] and Winta James [Damian Marley, Chronixx]). PRESS HERE to purchase & HERE to stream the collection.

Rebelution (singer/guitarist/lyricist Eric Rachmany, keyboardist Rory Carey, drummer Wesley Finley, and bassist Marley D. Williams) formed in Isla Vista in 2004.

Then came the Grammy-nominated album Falling Into Place and the Rebelution concert experience, Live At Red Rocks. The band boasts an impressive 110 million+ spins on their Top 5 Spotify tracks alone.

Rising Americana singer/songwriter Jeremie Albino has just released his new single “Hard Time” – PRESS HERE to listen; the official music video also premiered exclusively with Relix today —PRESS HERE to watch. The track follows Jeremie Albino’s recent release “The Cabin,” (PRESS HERE). The artist is set to tour with Great Lake Swimmers and JD McPherson throughout the summer. It was also announced today that he will open for St. Paul and The Broken Bones later this fall. He is also set to perform at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC on August 1st. All tour dates and festival appearances can be found below. His wildly impressive debut album, Hard Time is set for release August 9th on Cinematic Music Group. The album is available for pre-order now – PRESS HERE to purchase.

Told from the perspective of a mechanic, the song’s narrator lets his mind wander and linger on every mistake he’s made. “This song is about doing someone wrong having to live with what you’ve done, hoping one day they’ll forgive you,” Jeremie Albino explains. Creating the concept for the video himself, Jeremie pays homage to his father, Pardo Albino, by recreating their family’s taxi meter shop. There he credits learning the importance of family and hard work.

Trading the booming metropolis of Toronto for Prince Edward County, a decade of country living has given Jeremie the time and space needed to create an album overflowing with heart through vivid storytelling of life and love. Emulating the heroes before him like Lighting Hopkins and Skip James, Jeremie Albino offers a soft and insightful touch with his folk songs, and stomps and swaggers through soulful rock ‘n’ roll. Letting his heart lead the way, the forthcoming album tells vivid stories of “love, life, people, and another time,” as Jeremie explains.  PRESS HERE to listen to the album’s lead single “Last Night,” which Glide described as “a rock and pop juggernaut that reflects the hearty musicianship of Nathaniel Rateliff and a throwback honkytonk sensibility. Albino appears to be the next in line of emotive band leaders that project soul and directness atop a head turning sound.”

As they gear up to return to the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre next month, Denver-based funk and soul ensemble The Motet have released an extended dance mix of their single "Supernova" as a special gift for their fans. PRESS HERE to listen. The original version of the song appears on the band's critically-acclaimed latest album, Death Or Devotion, released earlier this year via their own label. Check out the first listen of "Supernova (Extended Dance Mix)" via TheUntz.com, who called it "a monster throwback jam that takes the band's brash and brassy sound and twists it into a danceable disco groovefest" and added, "taking cues from disco grooves, as well as its more avant-garde 80s progeny like Le Chic and Talking Heads, The Motet get some space and room to play on this fun and funky take."

"I grew up listening to early 80s 12-inch remixes of funk, soul and dance music," shares the group's keyboardist Joey Porter. "I loved the trippy reggae-like production they used.  We used this as inspiration for the 'Supernova (Extended Dance Remix).'  Not only extending the tune but making it something new."

"I am inspired by the psychedelic properties of delay effects in dub, electronic and rock music," adds bassist Garrett Sayers. "I am also drawn to long form tracks that allow space for instrumental interludes, which in turn provides time for uninterrupted dancing and time to utilize the aforementioned delay effects."

Hailed a "a funk/soul gem" by the Associated Press, Death Or Devotion is a killer collection of 10 feel good grooves including the singles "Highly Compatible," "Whacha Gonna Bring," "Supernova" and "Get It Right." PRESS HERE to listen to Death Or Devotion.

Next up, The Motet return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre for their 5th annual show at the legendary Colorado venue on Friday, July 12th for a co-headlining show with fellow funk outfit Galactic and support from Moon Hooch. The Motet will be joined by some special guests throughout their set including Jennifer Hartswick (Trey Anastasio Band), Natalie Cressman (Trey Anastasio Band) and Jeff Franca (Thievery Corporation). The band can also be seen at various festivals throughout the summer; PRESS HERE for all upcoming tour dates and ticketing info.

Death Or Devotion, the group's ninth overall studio album, earmarks an important point in The Motet's journey. For 20 years, the seven-piece (Dave Watts [drums], Joey Porter [keys], Garrett Sayers [bass], Ryan Jalbert [guitar], Lyle Divinsky [vocals], Drew Sayers [sax] and Parris Fleming [trumpet]) have been fusing boisterous badass funk and swaggering soul with a thought-provoking inventiveness to create something truly unique. Each member of the band brought something different to the mix for the new album with their own unique set of musical influences and styles. The collection of songs finds the band pushing boundaries and breaking new ground, welcoming old fans and new audiences alike - continually providing a welcome escape for listeners.

Denver-based funk and soul ensemble The Motet will be hitting the road this fall for an extensive headlining tour in continued support of their critically-acclaimed album, Death Or Devotion. The 30-date cross-country "Speed Of Light Tour" officially kicks off September 5th in New Orleans and will stop in such cities as Austin, Dallas, Las Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles (October 5th at Lodge Room), Cleveland, Cincinnati, Brooklyn (two nights at Brooklyn Bowl, November 22nd and 23rd), Minneapolis, Detroit, Chicago and St. Louis, among many others, keeping the band on the road through December. Full routing can be found below. Tickets for all upcoming dates are on-sale now; PRESS HERE for ticket info. 

"2019 has been an amazing, nonstop year thus far - a new album plus so many incredible shows all over the country, and we're not slowing down," shares vocalist Lyle Divinsky. "We're feeling so inspired by all the new music and experiences we've been having, so we really want to keep that rolling into this fall by playing as much as we can for as many of our friends, family, and ever-expansive community as we can."

Prior to the launch of the fall tour, The Motet (Dave Watts [drums], Joey Porter [keys], Garrett Sayers [bass], Ryan Jalbert [guitar], Lyle Divinsky [vocals], Drew Sayers [sax] and Parris Fleming [trumpet]) will co-headline Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Friday, July 12th with fellow funk outfit Galactic. The show, their 5th annual at the legendary Colorado venue, will also feature support from Moon Hooch and various special guests throughout The Motet's set including Jennifer Hartswick (Trey Anastasio Band), Natalie Cressman (Trey Anastasio Band) and Jeff Franca (Thievery Corporation).

To celebrate the album announcement, Cory Wong is releasing his first single “Limited World” – PRESS HERE to listen and PRESS HERE to watch the official music video featuring Caleb Hawley. We were hoping you could share news of this upcoming release!

Backed by energetic horns and his signature groove, “Limited World” starts Cory Wong’s third studio album off on a high note. “I’m a Minneapolis cat, so I needed it to be a fast, high-energy funk banger,” he goes on to describe “Lyrically, it’s about how we blame things for limitations on our lives. In my experience, I’ve realized we get in our own way. We play mental games and think we’re in a limited world, but it’s all in our heads.” The guitarist has also made numerous appearances joining Stay Human, the house band for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert led by Jon Batiste. Fans can tune in to catch him on the show July 29th- August 1st!

Multi-Grammy award winning artist Eric Krasno has announced his next project: a groundbreaking concept album, TELESCOPE, which he will be releasing as KRAZ - PRESS HERE to view the album trailer. The first video, "Leave a Little" introduces listeners to apartment 3A: Gina, a fading prom queen from the Midwest who now lives in the brownstone - PRESS HERE to watch. Three unique storylines will be revealed in the coming weeks.

On "Leave a Little," the steady beat underscores lyrical guitar and keys as KRAZ vocally details a night out with gorgeous femme fatale Gina. "Her existence is really dark," he goes on. "'Leave A Little' is the moment where she discovers she needs to start changing."

Drawing inspiration from The Who's 'Tommy' and David Bowie's 'Ziggy Stardust,' this passion project for KRAZ serves as an homage to his home in Brooklyn for 18 years and shows touchstones of Krasno's own dynamic career throughout. The complete project follows three apartments, the people residing in them, and how their lives intertwine with each other.

Much like the characters themselves, the music exists at a crossroads. "It's a cross-section of the different worlds I've lived in-from producing hip-hop records for guys like 50 Cent to performing with The Grateful Dead," he affirms. "I always hoped to eventually combine everything. I also wanted to write from these different perspectives. This was the first time I could. I moved to Los Angeles at the end of making TELESCOPE, but this is my ode to Brooklyn. Some of the songs are based on true experiences and real people. Others are embellished. There's definitely some of me in the songs too."

The Soulive and Lettuce co-founder, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and two-time Grammy Award-winning songwriter-producers virtuosic and innovative guitar playing has paved the way for experimental jam bands. His collaboration credits read like a who's who of the music industry over the past decade most notably The Rolling Stones, Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, The Roots, The Grateful Dead and more. He has also worked behind the scenes as a producer and songwriter for everyone from Norah Jones, Tedeschi Trucks, and 50 Cent to Talib Kweli, Aaron Neville, Allen Stone and most recently Marcus King Band. For nearly two decades, Eric Krasno has been an omnipresent figure in popular music.

Stay tuned as each character's story unfolds within the coming weeks. In this brownstone, what really matters happens behind closed doors...

As they prepare to kick off the summer leg of their "Live From Paradise!" tour, reggae-influenced alternative rock band Iration has released their new single "Chill Out" via their own Three Prong Records. The melodic rock track about self-love and acceptance is a nice reminder for the summertime to "chill out" and relax amidst today's mounting pressure to fit in and appear a certain way. PRESS HERE to listen and PRESS HERE to watch the lyric video.

"'Chill Out' is a song about feeling comfortable in your own skin," shares lead vocalist and guitarist Micah Pueschel. "So many people today are out there trying to be something that they aren't, and we wanted to make a song that tells people that it's okay to be you. It's okay to be different. As long as you accept yourself, you can always get through it."

Iration's headlining "Live From Paradise!" tour, their largest outing to date since the band's formation nearly 15 years ago, brings the aloha spirit and good vibes across the country with special guests Pepper, Fortunate Youth and Katastro along for the party. Following a successful spring run, the next leg of dates commences July 11th in Oklahoma City and brings the Hawaiian-bred, California-based band (Micah Pueschel [lead vocals/guitar], Adam Taylor [bass], Joe Dickens [drums], Cayson Peterson [keyboards], Micah Brown [guitar/vocals] plus touring member Drake Peterson [trumpet]) to Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City (July 19th at The Rooftop at Pier 17), Boston, Baltimore, Raleigh, Houston, Irvine (August 2nd at FivePoint Amphitheatre), Sacramento and Las Vegas, among many other cities this summer, before wrapping in their Santa Barbara hometown August 25th for Iration's first official headlining show at the Santa Barbara Bowl. See below for full list of upcoming tour dates; PRESS HERE for ticketing information.

Of the tour, guitarist Micah Brown recently explained to Billboard.com, "Every night we create a little bit of paradise for the people that are coming to the show. Live From Paradise was kind of a tongue-in-cheek term where every night, wherever you are, it's your paradise. It is a positive healthy way of looking at life."

This summer's shows will feature a mix of hits and rarities off Iration's six studio albums, including their most recent self-titled release from 2018, which Billboard noted, "stretches out for more than an hour without ever losing its captivating reggae-tinged vibes, which makes it an ideal accompaniment for the list of outdoor stages they'll headline this summer."

Innovative artist and funk guitarist Cory Wong has released another moving instrumental studio video for "Home" feat. famed musician and bandleader Jon Batiste - PRESS HERE to watch. Cory Wong said of building the song "Even though a lot of my music is instrumental, I try to tell a story or cast an image with the music. This one is a story of a father-daughter relationship. I was thinking about my role as a dad in my kids' lives and how our conversations and life lessons will adapt and change quite drastically as we move into different seasons and phases of life's journey. The guitar is the role of the father, who has scripted melodies and messages that stay consistent to drive home a foundation of lessons and encouragement. The piano is the role of the daughter (or son) who starts the song off with its beauty and mystery of birth, receiving the messages of the father and weaving in and through that conversation." 

The two will be team up again when Cory performs with Stay Human, the house band for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert led by Jon Batiste on July 29th- August 1st! The track is featured on Cory's third studio album, 'Motivational Music for the Syncopated Soul,' set for release August 2nd. Check out the previously released track, "Limited World" feat.

Grammy-nominated recording artist Mayer Hawthorne has officially released his new song "The Great Divide" via his own newly launched label, Big Bucks. PRESS HERE to listen to the R&B/soul-infused breakup track.

"Back on my strange. I've never felt more inspired to create," shares Hawthorne. "Music is magic."

"The Great Divide" follows Hawthorne's latest single "The Game," which the critically-acclaimed musician dropped at the end of June, marking his first taste of solo music in three years. PRESS HERE to watch the official one-minute long video for "The Game," inspired by the classic film "The Princess Bride," and PRESS HERE to stream/download the song.

Mayer Hawthorne is a modern-day renaissance man. The prolific Los Angeles-based writer has penned every word of his extensive catalog, including four full-length albums over the past 10 years. His songwriting pulls from his life and observations; his heartache and joy. Sometimes it's groovy, other times he's vulnerable and sincere, but it's always timeless and soulful. Hawthorne, who began his career by making rap beats and DJing near his Michigan hometown at the height of Detroit hip-hop, also handles the lion's share of production for his music and is a skilled musician, who's played nearly every instrument on his acclaimed albums.

In addition to his solo music, Hawthorne is also half of the critically-acclaimed funk duo Tuxedo with Grammy-nominated hip-hop producer Jake One. Tuxedo recently released their third studio album, Tuxedo III, in July and wrapped a successful cross-country North American tour in its support with sold-out shows in Los Angeles and San Diego.

A true music aficionado and vinyl junkie, Mayer Hawthorne, whose music has racked up over 100 million combined plays on YouTube and Spotify, is not only influenced by the greats of the past in his original music, but continues to showcase his extensive musical knowledge through his DJ sets as well as his own Hawthorne Radio, a monthly playlist series available on his website www.mayerhawthorne.com and SoundCloud, where he has over 5 million followers.

Power-pop band The Jellybricks have released their new single “Mrs. Misery,” the latest offering from their forthcoming album Some Kind Of Lucky, due out Friday, October 4th via Wicked Cool Records. “Mrs. Misery” is a full-on assault, bringing to mind the urgency of ‘90s alt-faves like The Lemonheads and Buffalo Tom. PRESS HERE to stream/download the song and PRESS HERE to watch the lyric video. Glide Magazine first premiered the video calling “Mrs. Misery,” “a song with gigantic power-pop precision and electricity.”

“We didn’t want to put out a lyric video that was just text running across the screen to the music, so we set up a camera in my basement, put a dry erase board on the ping-pong table, decorated the ‘set’ with stuff that was lying around, and hit record,” shares Garrick Chow (bass, vocals). “It was all done in one take and took about 25 minutes in real time. Bryce and Tom took turns writing the lyrics, Larry did the little doodles in the corner, and I was on eraser duty. I really like the little mistakes and corrections and spur-of-the-moment decisions that we captured, so we didn't bother with a second take. We ended up with what I hope is a fun and re-watchable visual accompaniment to ‘Mrs. Misery.’”

Some Kind Of Lucky, the band’s seventh studio album, will mark their first for Steven Van Zandt’s red-hot rock label, Wicked Cool Records, and is being released in partnership with The Orchard. The 12-song album, produced by The Jellybricks, features the previously released tracks “Brooklyn,” “DOA,” and lead single “Corner Of My Eye,” all of which have grabbed Coolest Song in the World status on Van Zandt’s Underground Garage radio show this year. Some Kind Of Lucky was recorded at various studios on the east coast, including Van Zandt’s own Renegade Studios in NYC, and was mixed by engineer Geoff Sanoff, whose credits include notable work with Bruce Springsteen, Fountains of Wayne and Dashboard Confessional. PRESS HERE to pre-order Some Kind Of Lucky; see below for full tracklisting.

The Jellybricks will celebrate the release of Some Kind Of Lucky with select live shows along the east coast throughout the remainder of the year, including a New York City show this Saturday, September 14th. See below for list of upcoming dates and visit www.thejellybricks.com

A rock group in the classic two guitars-bass- drums tradition, The Jellybricks (Larry Kennedy [guitar, vocals], Garrick Chow [bass, vocals], Bryce Connor [guitar, vocals], Tom Kristich [drums, vocals]) began as a vehicle for Larry Kennedy’s original songs in the mid-‘90s but has steadily evolved over seven releases into a four-headed collaboration with all four members writing and singing lead. The Harrisburg, Pennsylvania-based quartet’s hook-laden songs owe debts of inspiration to decades of melodic rock ‘n’ roll from the ‘60s British invasion through ‘70s punk, ‘80s college rock and ‘90s alternative. Van Zandt began taking notice in recent years, elevating their 2012 track “Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide” to Coolest Song in the World Status. The song was later voted by listeners as “Coolest Song of 2012,” beating out tracks from Aerosmith, Bruce Springsteen, Jack White, and others. In the wake of heavy airplay on SiriusXM and syndicated terrestrial radio over the years, The Jellybricks signed to Wicked Cool at the dawn of 2019. Their mélange of styles is all in keeping with the band’s longtime ethos, as Kennedy explains. “The Jellybricks name was always intended to allow us to be as loud or as aggressive or as dark as we wanted, or to be as soft, as sentimental, or as silly as we wanted to be too. One of our early promotional tag lines was ‘Sweet like Jelly…hits you like a Brick!’”

Ginger Baker's son Kofi Baker and the pedigree of hallowed '60s trio Cream collectively known as The Music Of Cream - Jack Bruce's son Malcolm Bruce and Eric Clapton's nephew Will Johns - have issued the following words on today's passing of legendary drummer, Ginger Baker.

From Kofi Baker (drums):

"The other day I had a beautiful visit with my dad...we talked about memories and music and he's happy that I'm keeping his legacy alive. Our relationship was mended and he was in a peaceful place. Thank you all for the kind messages and thoughts. I love my dad and will miss him always."

From Will Johns (guitar, vocals):

"I have really fond memories of Ginger. When I was a kid, he would play games with me and was always a lot of fun when I would see him at Eric's house. I can remember always asking Pattie, 'where's Ginger, where's Ginger??' He was cool and I loved him."

From Malcolm Bruce (bass, vocals):

"Much love and peace to Ginger's family and respect to him. He leaves an incredible and innovative legacy. He always explored across the boundaries of creativity, collaborating with musicians from other cultures before the term 'world music' was adopted by others, and had a truly musical ability and a natural sense of what was true and beautiful. Rest in peace. It has been an honour to know you!"

The members of The Music Of Cream look forward to continuing their celebration of the extraordinary music and legacy that Ginger and all of their family members created with Cream by sharing personal stories and footage of their fathers and mentors and performing songs such as "Sunshine of Your Love," "Crossroads," "Spoonful" and "White Room" throughout their extensive live show.

The Music of Cream, the pedigree of hallowed '60s trio Cream: Kofi Baker (Ginger Baker's son), Malcolm Bruce (Jack Bruce's son) and Will Johns (Eric Clapton's nephew), have announced an exciting new tour for 2020. Honoring the legendary band's landmark album Disraeli Gears, the 40-date North American outing will feature Disraeli Gears performed in its entirety followed by a set of additional hits and rarities from Cream, Clapton, Blind Faith and more. The upcoming tour finds The Music of Cream continuing their celebration of the extraordinary music and legacy their family members created more than 50 years ago via their extensive live show and personal stories and footage of their fathers and mentors.

Kicking off February 28th in Victoria, BC, Canada, the Disraeli Gears Tour will travel all across North America stopping everywhere from Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Phoenix, Boulder, Baton Rouge and Fort Lauderdale to Birmingham, Atlanta, Annapolis, Long Island, Boston, Toronto, Chicago, Milwaukee, Omaha and all that's in between, before wrapping May 3rd in Austin. See below for full list of tour dates. Tickets are on sale starting this Friday, October 18th at 10am local time; visit www.musicofcream.com for ticketing information.

With primal riffs, soaring operatic choruses, poetry, fashion and theatre rolled into one, Disraeli Gears defined the era in which it was written. The super-group's second studio album, released November 1967, is often considered Cream's crowning achievement. Disraeli Gears, featuring the singles "Sunshine of Your Love" and "Strange Brew," was their American breakthrough reaching #4 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart and ultimately becoming a platinum-seller in the U.S. The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 and Rolling Stone included Disraeli Gears in their list of the Top 500 Greatest Albums of All Time saying, "Cream's sharpest, most linear album focused its instrumental explorations into colorful pop songs." In addition to critical acclaim over the decades, the original band members themselves praised their work on Disraeli Gears. Ginger Baker noted, "You can't escape the fact we were having such fun playing with each other," while Jack Bruce said, "This was a whole new beginning for the band and I loved that time very much," and Eric Clapton added, "We had found ourselves...it was a pivotal point in the history of popular music."

For the members of The Music of Cream, who first launched their celebratory 50th Anniversary World Tour in 2017 and have since performed over 100 shows together worldwide including a string of recent sold-out UK shows, honoring Disraeli Gears and the storied history their family members created on this new tour was an easy choice.

"To follow our 50th Anniversary Tour, it was a no-brainer to go out and celebrate Disraeli Gears in its entirety," shares Kofi Baker (drums). "There are songs that are quite different, they wanted to challenge everything! And from a personal point of view, it gives me the opportunity to perform another song my dad wrote, called 'Blue Condition,' that I really like. I also loved the artwork for the album; my sister and I used to laugh because we said you could see up my dad's nose. Happy memories that we can bring to the stage."

"Why Disraeli Gears? Well, that's easy for me," says Will Johns (guitar, vocals). "It was the birth of the wah-wah pedal and you gotta love the wah-wah! That we can interpret such groundbreaking music and continue to tell Cream's story is as exciting for us as we know it was for the band when they recorded it all those years ago. Like my Uncle, I am a blues man through and through and on this record, there's some fantastic interpretations of this genre, the likes of 'Lawdy Mama' and 'Outside Woman Blues,' so it doesn't get better than that!"

"There are many reasons I love the idea of performing Cream's second album Disraeli Gears," adds Malcolm Bruce (bass, vocals). "Many of Cream's best-known songs are on the record including 'Sunshine of Your Love,' 'Strange Brew' and 'SWLABR.' But importantly to me, perhaps my favorite Cream song, and I think my Dad's too, 'We're Going Wrong,' is on there as well. It has always been such a special song to perform, so open in its possibilities for improvisation, and lyrically, the song works on a number of levels, both personal and universal. I also love some of the less well-known songs on the album like 'World of Pain' and 'Dance the Night Away.' It even contains comedy elements in 'Mother's Lament.' Overall, it is a very cohesive set to perform. We are looking forward to it!"

During its heartbreakingly short lifespan, Cream was an explosive musical cocktail that provided the super-group blueprint for others to follow. Their third album, Wheels of Fire (1968), was the world's first platinum-selling double album, and collectively Cream sold more than 15 million copies of their albums worldwide. Not surprisingly, Rolling Stone ranked the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group (inducted in 1993) as 67th in their 100 Greatest Artists of All Time list. The trio originally said farewell on a 1968 U.S. tour, and apart from a brief reunion in 2005 at London's Royal Albert Hall and New York's Madison Square Garden, Cream retained an almost mythological status in the music world, right up until the passing of Jack Bruce in 2014. This, for many fans, marked the end of an era and an acceptance that there would never really be another opportunity to celebrate the group's legacy. That is, until The Music of Cream emerged. And with the recent passing of Ginger Baker, the new trio (Kofi, Malcolm, Will) look forward to sharing more of their stories as well as Cream's incomparable music with fans, new and old, to keep Cream's legacy alive.

THE MUSIC OF CREAM - DISRAELI GEARS TOUR DATES

Chadwick Stokes will release a self-titled record with his band The Pintos that tackles personal and political territory in ways that feel intimate and urgent. Set for release November 15, 2019 Worldwide via Thirty Tigers, Chadwick Stokes and The Pintos brings the complications of history into conversation with the turbulent yet—from Stokes’ perspective—hopeful present. “We’re living in a crazy time, a very upsetting time,” says Stokes. “If we’re not protesting, there’s a problem.” Having tested many of these songs on the road over the years of touring, Chadwick Stokes (frontman of popular indie rock bands Dispatch and State Radio) has created an almost timeless quality to these refined and reimagined studio versions.

The writing in Chadwick Stokes and The Pintos notes intense struggles—personal, ethical, political, or cultural—that have always galvanized Stokes as a listener and artist. Stokes has released the first two tracks “Joan of Arc” (PRESS HERE to listen) and “Chaska” (PRESS HERE to listen). Written about the famed teenager from her first vision to her execution for wearing men’s clothing, “Joan of Arc” is a timely feminist anthem that sears with hope and empowerment. “Chaska” is a story of mistaken identity wrapped up in the largest mass execution on United States' soil.

Other tracks on the album include “What’s It Going To Take,” “Love and War,” and “Blanket on the Moon” which discuss relevant issues such as the gun violence epidemic, PTSD, and America’s current immigration policies.  Other tracks like “Sand From San Francisco,” “Hit the Bell With Your Elbow,” and “Lost and Found” discuss disconnected relationships and the power of choice.

Chadwick Stokes and The Pintos have also announced their December and January tour dates throughout North America where Mihali (of Twiddle) will be joining the band for select tour dates.  The tour will make stops in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.  Chadwick will also be making a stop at the Boston House of Blues for the 12th Annual Calling All Crows Benefit show on December 21st featuring special guests to be announced.  Calling All Crows is the social activist organization founded by Stokes and his wife, Sybil that partners musicians with fans to create change through hands-on service and activism on women’s rights.  Full tour routing can be found below.

Chadwick Stokes and The Pintos is Stokes’ third solo record and his first as a producer in Brighton, Massachusetts. “I always like how records have a little bit of a taste of where you recorded them,” says Stokes. “I don’t think I’ve ever done a full solo record here in Boston, so that’s always nice to have the home vibe, to have your friends coming in and sing on big back up group singing parts.” Stokes enlisted the artistic muscle of friends and family on this record. Willy Urmston (Chadwick’s younger brother) plays banjo and sings backup vocals; Jon Reilly, Stokes’ long-time touring and recording percussionist, also contributes backup vocals. Tommy Ng on bass and vocals rounds out the ensemble.

Genre-defying funk-jazz-soul-hip-hop-psychedelic-jam-art-rock-experimental-avant-garde music titans Lettuce kick off the second round of dates on their Elevate Tour, their headlining trek supporting the band's latest studio album Elevate, starting tonight, November 6th, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Elevate, released June 14th via their own Lettuce Records, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Album Chart and #1 on the iTunes R&B Albums Chart and has since been streamed over 2 million times. PRESS HERE to listen to Elevate.

"We're beyond excited to get out on the road again so we can make more music," shares Lettuce. "When we're out on the road together we have a chance to work out new stuff on the bus, in soundchecks and on stage. We'll revisit some old stuff and do some writing together. We love the spontaneity of every show and knowing something special will probably happen nightly!"

Following its launch tonight in Fayetteville, the road warriors will bring their blissful rhythms and sonic grooves to such cities as Kansas City, Minneapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee, Columbus, Philadelphia, Raleigh, Charlotte, Washington, DC and Denver throughout the fall. Lettuce will then celebrate a massive 2019 and ring in the new year in San Francisco for a special evening at The Independent on Tuesday, December 31st. From there, the sextet will head back east for shows in Charleston, Houston, Austin, Dallas, Tulsa, Louisville, Detroit and New Haven, among many others. See below for all upcoming tour dates and visit www.lettucefunk.com for ticketing details, including VIP information to Elevate the experience. The VIP upgrade includes meet & greet and photo with the band, invitation to attend soundcheck, early venue entry and crowd-free merchandise shopping, signed set list, and Elevate Merch Pack (signed poster, sunglasses, bandana and koozie), in addition to hanging out and spinning vinyl with Lettuce at the VIP Pre-Rage.

Produced by Lettuce and recorded at Colorado Sound Studio outside of Denver with legendary engineer Russ Elevado (D'Angelo, The Roots, Erykah Badu), Elevate, the band's sixth studio album and first new, original music in three years, is a dynamic showcase of their ever-changing and all-inclusive musical palette. The six-member collective - Grammy-nominated drummer and percussionist Adam Deitch, guitarist Adam "Shmeeans" Smirnoff, bassist Erick "Jesus" Coomes, Grammy Award-winning keyboardist and vocalist Nigel Hall, Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Ryan Zoidis and Grammy Award-winning trumpet player Eric "Benny" Bloom - maintains its eclectic, free-wheeling approach while embracing a progressive and futuristic vibe, with elements of Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, Eno and Miles Davis, thanks to their love of improvisational music and arts. Elevate features the singles "Krewe," a western-meets-'60s Ethiopian funk song, and "Everybody Wants To Rule The World," their jazzy take on the Tears For Fears hit featuring Hall on vocals. Elsewhere on the 11-track album, Lettuce explores its funk roots in the Tower of Power-like punch of "Ready to Live" (a cover of a song by Cold Blood's Lydia Pense), the Prince-like swagger of "Royal Highness" and the OG blues-soul of "Love Is Too Strong," which sees a vocal cameo from Marcus King.

A powerhouse collective made up of world-class master musicians, Lettuce is known for their incendiary live shows, extensive touring, die-hard fans, and massive two-decade-plus career. They are also some of the most highly sought-after musicians in the industry with roots that run deep into the worlds of hip-hop, pop, and beyond, working and performing alongside the likes of Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, Justin Timberlake, The Fugees, Eminem, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent,  Britney Spears, DJ Quik, Gary Clark Jr., Skrillex, The Game, Talib Kweli, Anthony Hamilton, Solange, Chaka Khan, Redman & Method Man, Robin Thicke, Preservation Hall, Dave Matthews Band, Gov't Mule, Bob Weir, John Mayer, Aaron Neville, and more. It's been more than 25 years since the formation of Lettuce, a democratic ensemble in which there is no leader, but a complete unit that functions as a single entity with plenty of moving parts. The magic continues to grow with the band's latest album, Elevate.

In keeping with Christmas Jam's three-decade tradition of giving back to the Asheville community, Grammy Award-winning vocalist-songwriter, producer and revered guitarist Warren Haynes and the W&S Charitable Foundation have donated $400,000 to the Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity - one of the largest ever in the event's history, bringing the new total to $2.7 million raised since 1999. Proceeds for this donation were derived from the 30th Annual Christmas Jam weekend in Asheville, NC that took place in December 2018 which included the Pre-Jam at the Orange Peel, two nights at the U.S. Cellular Center, Xmas Jam by Day at the Asheville Music Hall, The One Stop, and Jack of the Wood, The Snow Jam at the Orange Peel and the Xmas Jam Pop-Up Gallery. 2018 marked an unforgettable year in Christmas Jam history with its iconic guests including Dave Grohl and Eric Church and even the addition of The Snow Jam, an impromptu show at the Orange Peel with Dave Grohl and Warren Haynes which closed out the four-night Christmas Jam music marathon.

After 30 years of hosting the Christmas Jam, Haynes and the W&S Charitable Foundation will take a brief hiatus from their annual arena show at the U.S. Cellular Center this year. The 31st Annual Christmas Jam will resume in 2020 at the U.S. Cellular Center. This break will enable the team to build even further upon Christmas Jam's charitable reach and mission to best serve the needs of the Asheville community and return in 2020 with an exciting line-up and a weekend full of memorable music and Christmas Jam activities. An announcement regarding the 31st Christmas Jam will be made in early 2020. 

Warren Haynes shares:

"Since we started the Christmas Jam in 1988, it has grown in every way we wished for, and in many ways that we could have only hoped for when we first set out. After three decades, and an amazing two-night 30th Anniversary last year, it feels like the right time to take a brief moment to press pause. We have poured our heart and soul into creating this annual event and our commitment to serve the Asheville community and Habitat for Humanity remains strong.  

I am so grateful to our many partners that help us bring the community together around the Christmas Jam every year, including the city of Asheville, Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity, WNCW, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., CID Entertainment, all of our production partners, venues, hotels, and local businesses, our incredible staff and volunteers, and countless others. And, of course, all the fans who have supported the Christmas Jam. We can't do it without you.

I will certainly miss seeing you all this year. Christmas Jam has become such a special time for me, my family and our Asheville community, and we look forward to continuing the tradition that we have all built together for many years to come. We are already planning a big show for 2020 and we can't wait to share with you what's in store. We will see you next year."

There are still many ways to enjoy and get involved in the Christmas Jam spirit this holiday season.

Out Now!

Stay tuned for more updates coming soon!

Emerson Hart, acclaimed singer-songwriter and lead singer of Tonic, gives fans a first taste of his upcoming solo album by way of the soulful first single “Lucky One,” which premiered on Glide Magazine. We often hear of writers setting out to pen the “great American novel” as an ode to an epoch of history to which they can speak at length. By the same token, Emerson Hart assembled a sonic version of this in the form of his third full-length titled 32 Thousand Days out December 13, 2019.

PRESS HERE to listen to “Lucky One” and PRESS HERE to pre-order the album.

“Lucky One” is a testament to love. Sometimes, when life is really at its lowest, it’s actually at its best. When you learn the hard lessons, that’s when you sacrifice and truly fall in love. I was thinking of my stepfather in his twenties and the girls he met after the second World War, finding love, and making it through everything ultimately. – Emerson Hart

Hart’s upcoming album tells the great American story of his 93-year-old stepfather (Arthur) who is a New York City native, lied about his age to join the merchant marines at 16-years-old and fought bravely in World War II. Hart takes the listener on a journey by examining the myriad of Arthur’s experiences during his life as well as his own.

“He’s a big reason for my career in music,” says the Nashville-based singer and songwriter. “When I was a teenager, he gave me a lot of freedom. At times when he should’ve been having a talk with me, he’d just give me twenty bucks and say, ‘Go buy some music’—and I would. He knew when to let me find myself. That persistence carried me through my career and so this album is inspired by his 93 years of living and what that might look like if I try to look through his lens.”

Emerson is no stranger to penning hits over his 25-year career creating works of art that resonate with fans and quickly become classics. He fronts the multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-nominated alternative rock institution Tonic that has racked up six Top 10 singles including “If You Could Only See,” which was the #1 most-played rock song of 1998. Tonic has sold over 4 million records, received multiple Grammy nominations, and toured the world. In addition to Tonic, Emerson built a growing solo discography. 2007’s Cigarettes & Gasoline garnered tastemaker praise and yielded two Top 20 singles. In 2014, Beauty In Disrepair arrived as a fan and critical favorite lauded by USA Today, Huffington Post, Guitar World, and many more. Following a rigorous tour cycle, he buckled down at his Nashville studio and set about crafting 32 Thousand Days in early 2018.

This time around, he embraced a minimalist organic approach when it came to instrumentation. The sonic simplicity drew focus towards the story itself allowing it to be more raw and stripped down to reflect the narrative of Arthur’s journey above the production. For the first time, he utilized pedal steel, enriching the musical backdrop with an artful and airy twang. However, the acoustic guitar provided what he refers to as “the main anchor for every song.” After eight months of writing, he tracked the entire album in just two weeks.

Stay tuned for more music from Emerson Hart in the coming weeks!

Free Rein, their sixth studio album, while still rooted in the Jamaican inspiration that Rebelution's songs and sounds have always paid homage to, takes experimental leaps and new adventures too, welcoming old fans and new audiences alike.

The Coolies, which combined the late Kim Shattuck (frontwoman of The Muffs and longtime bassist of The Pandoras) with Melanie Vammen (also of The Pandoras and formerly of The Muffs) and Palmyra Delran (solo artist and The Friggs guitarist), raised over $15,000 for ALS research, selling out three pressings of their debut EP, Uh Oh! It's... The Coolies. PRESS HERE to order the digital record and PRESS HERE to listen.

Kim, known throughout the pop-punk community for her fierce creative spirit, passed away on October 2 due to complications from ALS. Following her diagnosis, The Coolies became Kim's passion project and provided a creative outlet for Kim. Without disclosing that she was suffering from ALS, Kim continued to answer interview questions about The Coolies' project and remained committed to spreading awareness about disease up until the end. Continuing to raise awareness about the disease brought her an immense amount of happiness during a time when she was fighting her own personal battle.

The six-song EP was created using demos that were some of Kim's last recordings, all written by Kim in her signature sarcastic yet jubilant tone, with Melanie co-writing "Ignoramus" and Palmyra collaborating with her to pen "Blueberry Crumble." Working off the demos, Kim and Melanie added to the tracks in West Coast studios, while Palmyra recorded her parts on the East Coast at Little Steven Van Zandt's Renegade Studios NYC.

Generously backed by Little Steven Van Zandt and his label Wicked Cool Records, 100% of the proceeds from record sales were donated to The ALS Association Golden West Chapter, whose mission is to discover treatments and a cure for ALS, and to serve, advocate for, and empower people affected by ALS to live their lives to the fullest.

Palmyra and Melanie share:

"We love working with Little Steven and all the people at Wicked Cool Records on The Coolies. They were supportive and encouraging from the first day we began the project and continue to be today. There was no hesitation with our wish to donate 100% of the proceeds to the ALS Association in Kim's name.

The recording was such an important and emotional collaboration between the three of us. Working on Kim's demos as the foundation for the record, and writing a few new songs together was as fun as it was bittersweet. Kim was on a mission to create a solid foundation for The Coolies - a band we only joked about forming for years...all the while, battling ALS. 

The three of us are so proud to have created such a special record and promised Kim to keep her music alive through touring and more recordings. We are grateful to Little Steven, the Wicked Cool Records family and Press Here for backing and encouraging us."

About The Coolies:

Kim Shattuck and Melanie Vammen played together in Hollywood garage rock staples The Pandoras from the mid-'80s to 1990. Soon after, they formed another L.A.-based band, The Muffs, releasing their self-titled debut album on Warner Brothers in 1993. As noted critic Jim DeRogatis wrote, "You'd have to reach all the way back to Blondie's Plastic Letters to find punkish power pop this endearing."

It was on a Pandoras tour in 1986 that Kim and Melanie first met New Jersey native Palmyra Delran. Palmyra went on to play guitar in girl punk band The Friggs for the duration of the 1990s, opening shows for legends like Ramones and Cheap Trick. When she's not writing, recording, or touring, Delran brings the rock to the people as host of Palmyra's Trash-Pop Shindig in Little Steven's Underground Garage channel on SiriusXM and delivers a rebellious range of sweet surf sounds, rambunctious rock n' roll and everything in between.

About The ALS Association Golden West Chapter:

Our mission is to discover treatments and cures for ALS, and to serve, advocate for, and empower people affected by ALS to live their lives to the fullest. Our vision is to create a world without ALS. The Golden West Chapter serves people with ALS and their families in 31 counties throughout California and in the state of Hawaii. For more information about The ALS Association Golden West Chapter, please visit www.alsagoldenwest.org.

The band closed out the year in their hometown of New Orleans with a two-day sold out bash for their annual RevHeads Ball at Tipitina's and their annual New Year's Eve show at The Fillmore.

Retro rock-n-roll band Them Vibes have just released an action-packed funk thriller, “Powers Collide” – PRESS HERE to listen and HERE to read what Relix said about the song. Drawing inspiration from Curtis Mayfield’s Superfly soundtrack and featuring neo-soul group The Shindellas, the track never takes its foot off the gas. The band celebrated the release last night in their home base of Nashville with a special show that included performances by The Shindellas, Lilly Hiatt, Marti Frederiksen, Neon Castles, The Untamed and more. PRESS HERE for photos from the evening!

“Powers Collide (co-written by Alex Haddad, Brother Love and Sarah Tomek) was inspired by the light and the dark found within all of us. Life is a series of action and reaction in constant perpetual motion, and it was grappling with this human chemistry that led us to write this song,” said lead guitarist and co-founder Alex Haddad. “The musical bed in which this song lies is thematic to the whole EP: funky as all get out. We love Sly & Family Stone and Curtis Mayfield, so we wanted to take that 70's Oakland and Chicago style of funk and meld it to our own rock n roll sensibilities. The record is heavy on the groove with a message of love, dignity and respect. When it came time for background vocals there was only one group that came in mind, The Shindellas. They are soul incarnate. When they sang it immediately felt as if Tina, Etta, and Mavis were in the room.”

“Powers Collide” is the second release from the bands forthcoming EP Why The Funk Not- out February 21st (produced by Bobby Holland). The first single released late last year, “Right On,” features vocals from Maggie Rose and has garnered airplay on Nashville’s indie/Triple A powerhouse WRLT Lightning 100, which ranked it #4 on its list of Top 200 Songs of the Year.

Formed in East Nashville by Brother Love and guitarists Alex Haddad and Kyle Lewis, Them Vibes are a central part of Music City’s thriving rock scene. The band has shared the stage with notable acts including Maggie Rose (whom they frequently tour and collaborate with), Joan Jett, Cage the Elephant, Cheap Trick, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Flaming Lips, Marcus King Band, and Trey Anastasio. The band has also been featured on CBS's NCIS: LA, ABC's The Rookie, Showtime's Shameless, Amazon's Sneaky Pete, Netflix's The Ranch, a National T-Mobile campaign and more.

Capturing the essence of The Revivalists at this exciting time in their 10-year journey, the documentary gives the deepest insight yet into what makes the band tick against the backdrop of Muscle Shoals, a location steeped in the many classic styles of American music that informs the New Orleans - based band's signature sound.

The Revivalists bring us into the studio with them as they record the Made In Muscle Shoals EP, which features brilliant re-imaginings of the band's hit "Oh No," "You & I," "Change," and "All My Friends" from their latest studio album, Take Good Care (Loma Vista Recordings), as well as a soulful rendition of The Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody" and a gorgeous stripped down piano-and-vocal take of their platinum-selling hit "Wish I Knew You." The EP also includes a never-before-released, brand new song "Bitter End" about being stuck in a one-sided love.

“We went to Muscle Shoals to capture that special kind of real and raw that only a place like that can provide. There’s a certain kind of magic that occurs when you’re amongst the spirit in that room. All the history, all the hurt, all the passion and perseverance that went into making what is now one of the most iconic studios in America was ever-present and always felt,” shares front man David Shaw.

The California Roots Music and Arts Festival has become synonymous with the North American reggae and roots music scene, but for years the event has also featured some of the biggest names in hip hop. The 2015 edition had the legendary Roots headline and Cypress Hill also perform that year. Minneapolis’ Atmosphere has become a staple at the festival with 2020 being their fourth year. Cali Roots has also featured Rhymesayers labelmates Brother Ali and Dilated Peoples. 2018 included the Bay Area legend E-40, who brought his “hyphy” style to the stage and 2017 had old school revivalists Jurassic 5 getting the crowd going before the epic set from Nas blew everyone away that year.
 
2020 sees west coast hip hop legend Ice Cube headlining Sunday, May 24. The award-winning lyricist, producer, actor and director began his music career nearly 30 years ago with iconic rap group N.W.A. Ice Cube eventually left the group and established himself as a successful solo artist, releasing some of the most memorable rap songs of a generation including “Check Yo Self” and “It Was A Good Day.” He then became an accomplished actor with a number of starring movie roles from horror to comedy including the hilarious Friday series with Chris Tucker.
 
Jamaican dancehall artist Sean Paul, who makes his Cali Roots debut this year, also raps throughout his catalog including the GRAMMY award winning album Dutty Rock, that showcases his hits “"Gimme the Light,” "Like Glue" and "I'm Still in Love with You." The album went 2 times Platinum in the U.S. cementing his place in modern music history.
 
“Hip hop evolved from Jamaican sound system culture and elements of reggae music, so it is so organic for me to book hip hop legends alongside our reggae & roots lineup each year,” states co-producer Dan Sheehan.” He adds, “Cali Roots fans look forward to the hip hop sets, which switches thing up a bit, while still keeping the Cali Roots vibe.”

Lifelong friends and deep-north natives, Michigan Rattlers play heavy-hearted folk-rock with an aching dose of Midwestern nice. Graham Young (lead vocals/guitar), Adam Reed (vocals/upright bass), Christian Wilder (vocals/piano) and Tony Audia (drums) began writing music and performing together in their Northern Michigan high school. They regularly played every bar, cafe, and stage in town, developing a musical chemistry informed by the likes of AC/DC, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Seger, and more. After a few years apart, Reed and Young settled down in Los Angeles, recorded a short demo, and began playing locally. The demo found its way in the hands of super-producer Johnny K, and they cut the bulk of their first EP at NRG studios in just one day. This self-titled Michigan Rattlers EP attracted glowing reviews from No Depression, Bluegrass Situation, Relix, Glide, Grammy.com and more.

Rolling Stone named the band one of their “Ten New Country Artists You Need To Know.” In 2018, following a massive summer tour that included stops at Bonnaroo, Firefly and Electric Forest; the band released their highly anticipated debut full length album, Evergreen, and added pianist Christian Wilder and drummer Tony Audia to their lineup. The Michigan Rattlers are currently in the studio recording their second full length album in between tour dates.

Starting February 6th, Iration (Micah Pueschel [lead vocals/guitar], Adam Taylor [bass], Joe Dickens [drums], Cayson Peterson [keyboards], Micah Brown [guitar/vocals] plus touring member Drake Peterson [trumpet]) will kick off their Heatseekers Winter Tour in Bakersfield, CA.

As the follow up to their 2019 GRAMMY® Award-nominated album Elevate, genre-defying funk-jazz-soul-hip-hop-psychedelic-jam-rock-experimental music titans LETTUCE have announced their seventh studio album, Resonate, will be coming this spring. Set for release on Friday, May 8th via Round Hill Records, Resonate finds the acclaimed six-piece once again breaking rules, pushing boundaries and uplifting spirits as evidenced with the first single, the funkified "Checker Wrecker" - PRESS HERE to listen. Drawing on a longstanding collective passion for Washington, DC go-go music, Lettuce welcomes scene legends Big Tony Fisher of Trouble Funk and Tyrone "Jungle Boogie" Williams of Rare Essence into their ecosystem on the new song, which features funk guitars and simmering horns dipping in and out of a percussive pocket before the track struts into swaggering chants, "Put some stank on it," backed by warbling synths and spacey organ. PRESS HERE to watch the lyric video for "Checker Wrecker."

"Go-go music is the style of music that links funk to hip-hop and this song is a tribute to that groove," the band shares. "Having Tony and Boogie, iconic go-go legends, as features on the track gives it even more of a boost in energy and swagger." Of the new album, Lettuce adds, "Resonate is a definite continuation of the vibe of Elevate. There's brand-new tracks on it along with some stuff that we've only played live at shows. When listening Resonate, we hope you can feel the groove, be moved to dance and allow it to shine a bright, positive light on any lingering negative vibes. We want the good vibes we have as brothers, a band, and musicians to resonate with those that hear this record and see us live. We're stoked for all our peeps to hear it!"

Written and recorded during the same Colorado Sound Studio sessions that spawned Elevate, the six-member collective - Adam Deitch (drums, percussion, arrangement), Adam "Shmeeans" Smirnoff (guitar), Erick "Jesus" Coomes (bass), Ryan Zoidis (alto, baritone, tenor sax, Korg X-911), Eric "Benny" Bloom (trumpet, horns) and Nigel Hall (vocals, Hammond B-3, Rhodes, clavinet, keyboards) - brought Resonate to life alongside iconic producer and engineer Russ Elevado [D'Angelo, The Roots, Erykah Badu]. The 11-track album, available now for pre-order, finds Lettuce feeding the rich history of funk while combining it with jazz chords, psychedelic passages, big horns, strains of soul and go-go, and elements from the instrumental side of hip-hop for an eclectic and often improvisational sound all their own. PRESS HERE to pre-order Resonate.

Upheld by deft riffing, hummable horns, and "Tower of Power energy," Resonate ignites with the boisterous "Blaze," which the band has kicked around live for years. Meanwhile, "Moksha" explores the edges of psychedelia with legendary sitarist Indrajit Banerjee blessing the tune with sitar conjurations floating in and out of ethereal guitar transmissions. Nearing the nine-minute mark, the closer and title track "Resonate" sees the band once again tread new territory with a more meditational, mood vibe. Full track listing below.

Last night (February 18th), Lettuce kicked off an extensive 21-date European headlining tour, their largest outing overseas in the band's nearly three decades together. The road warriors return to the States this spring and summer for a selection of headlining shows and festival appearances, including their 5th annual Jazz Fest After Show RAGE!FEST taking place April 25th at the Orpheum Theater in New Orleans with support from The Motet and Louis Cole Big Band. Catch Lettuce at SweetWater 420 Fest, Summer Camp Music Festival, Camp Greensky, Sonic Bloom Festival and High Sierra Music Festival, among others, and look for their summer headlining tour plans to be revealed soon. See below for full list of upcoming tour dates and visit www.lettucefunk.com for ticketing details.

Lettuce's ever-changing and all-inclusive musical palette is often praised for the way it blurs lines and smashes together genres into exciting and compelling art - drawing acclaim from everyone from NPR, New York Times, Consequence of Sound and Billboard to BrooklynVegan, Earmilk, HipHopDX and Relix. Their latest album Elevate certainly did just that for the sextet when they received their first-ever GRAMMY nomination in the category of Best Contemporary Instrumental Album for the #1 album (Billboard Contemporary Jazz Album Chart and iTunes R&B Albums Chart).

A powerhouse collective made up of world-class master musicians, the members of Lettuce are also some of the most highly sought-after musicians in the industry with roots that run deep into the worlds of hip-hop, pop, and beyond, working and performing alongside the likes of Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, Justin Timberlake, The Fugees, Eminem, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent,  Britney Spears, DJ Quik, Gary Clark Jr., Skrillex, The Game, Talib Kweli, Anthony Hamilton, Solange, Chaka Khan, Redman & Method Man, Robin Thicke, Preservation Hall, Dave Matthews Band, Gov't Mule, Bob Weir, John Mayer, Aaron Neville, and more.

In the end, Lettuce are more alive than ever on Resonate, and hope to give listeners a sensation of genuine emotion and personal transformation. As Deitch puts it, "if you let good vibes resonate with the people around you, they'll hit hearts, minds, and souls."

GRAMMY-nominated funk-jazz-soul-hip-hop-psychedelic-jam-experimental titans LETTUCE have unveiled the official music video for lead single "Checker Wrecker" from their seventh studio album Resonate out May 8th via Round Hill Records. PRESS HERE to watch the video and check out the first look on BrooklynVegan. "Checker Wrecker," inspired by Lettuce's longstanding passion for Washington D.C. go-go music, the missing link between hip-hop and funk, features DC go-go music legends Big Tony Fisher of Trouble Funk and Tyrone "Jungle Boogie" Williams of Rare Essence. PRESS HERE to stream the song on DSPs.

"We all grew up bumpin late 80s hip-hop and didn't realize until later that we were listening to samples of go-go bands like Trouble Funk and Rare Essence," shares drummer Adam Deitch. "To get Big Tony Fisher and Tyrone 'Jungle Boogie' Williams in the video is epic for us. They are the originators of the go-go sound and the vibe they bring is electric! This particular show in DC was absolutely wild and the crowd was on fire! We are so happy to have captured this experience in one video!"

Resonate follows Lettuce's 2019 album Elevate, which earned the band their first collective GRAMMY nomination in the category of Best Contemporary Instrumental Album, racked up more than 3 million streams and hit #1 on both the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Albums Chart and iTunes Top R&B Albums Chart.

On Resonate, which plays like a master class in funk sub-genres, Lettuce continue to be celebrated boundary-pushing innovators in funk nearly three decades into their acclaimed career, blurring the lines and smashing it up with jazz chords, psychedelic passages, big horns, strains of soul and go-go, hip-hop elements and a joyful, uplifting improvisational sound all their own. Resulting from a wave of creative output after not having been in the studio for four years, Resonate was helmed by esteemed producer and engineer Russ Elevado [D'Angelo, The Roots, Erykah Badu] and written and recorded during the same Colorado Sound Studio sessions for Elevate. PRESS HERE to pre-order Resonate.

"Not only was it ridiculously funky, Ndugu was so IN it that he was doing this side to side shoulder dance while playing. I was struck by the visual as much as the audio of the groove and so inspired that I immediately started writing the tune as a tribute to that sort of energy I had just witnessed. The song ''NDUGU' was born that night. It starts with a hard groove and powerful horns, then gets a snake charmer vibe in the bridge! It's become one of our favorites to play. Hope y'all dig it!"

Resonate follows Lettuce's 2019 album Elevate, which earned the band their first collective GRAMMY nomination in the category of Best Contemporary Instrumental Album, racked up more than 3 million streams and hit #1 on both the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Albums Chart and iTunes Top R&B Albums Chart.

On Resonate, which plays like a master class in funk sub-genres, Lettuce continue to be celebrated boundary-pushing innovators in funk nearly three decades into their acclaimed career, blurring the lines and smashing it up with jazz chords, psychedelic passages, big horns, strains of soul and go-go, hip-hop elements and a joyful, uplifting improvisational sound all their own. Resulting from a wave of creative output after not having been in the studio for four years, Resonate was helmed by esteemed producer and engineer Russ Elevado [D'Angelo, The Roots, Erykah Badu] and written and recorded during the same Colorado Sound Studio sessions for Elevate. PRESS HERE to watch the official music video for the album's lead single "Checker Wrecker" featuring DC go-go music legends Big Tony Fisher of Trouble Funk and Tyrone "Jungle Boogie" Williams of Rare Essence, a result of Lettuce's longstanding passion for Washington D.C. go-go music, the missing link between hip-hop and funk.

Chart-topping rock band The Revivalists are raising spirits with the release of their live studio video for "You and I (Made In Muscle Shoals)." The fan-favorite song was re-imagined for the band's recent Made In Muscle Shoals EP after first appearing on Take Good Care (Loma Vista Recordings) - a treat for fans who have been hearing the song live for years. Recorded and filmed at the legendary FAME Recording Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the new version of "You and I" propels frontman David Shaw's incredible, instantly recognizable vocals forward as the band create a new groovy take on the track. "We had no preconceived notion about how we wanted the songs to change before going into FAME Studios. We really wanted the vibe of the room to guide us to that place. 'You and I' really took its shape once Zack landed on that new riff you hear in the beginning," shares Shaw. PRESS HERE to watch the full live studio video for "You and I."

At the top of the year, The Revivalists surprised fans with their live studio EP, Made In Muscle Shoals, which features brilliant re-imaginings of the band's hit singles "Oh No," "Change," and "All My Friends" from their latest studio album, Take Good Care, a soulful rendition of The Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody," a gorgeous stripped down piano-and-vocal take of their platinum-selling hit "Wish I Knew You," and brand new song "Bitter End."  The band also released an accompanying documentary which was recorded and filmed at the legendary FAME Recording Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and directed by Jay Sansone of Human Being Media.

To help with the most urgent personal protective equipment needs facing the health workers responding to the coronavirus, multi-platinum rock band Shinedown have partnered with non-profit humanitarian aid organization Direct Relief, who are currently working to provide personal protective equipment and essential medical items, including protective masks, exam gloves and isolation gowns, to U.S. and international health workers responding to coronavirus. The band reached into their vault and made a never-before-heard song “Atlas Falls” available as a download with the purchase of a special T-shirt. 100% of proceeds will go to Direct Relief, one of the largest providers of humanitarian medical resources in the world whose mission is to improve the health and lives of people affected by poverty or emergency situations by mobilizing and providing essential medical resources needed for their care. Shinedown kicked this off with a $20,000 donation of their own to Direct Relief and in just a week they have raised approximately $120,000. As the global response to the pandemic unfolds, “Atlas Falls” offers a message of optimism and faith in humanity. Drawing inspiration from the Greek myth of Titan Atlas who carries a celestial sphere on his shoulders, the song is a reassuring anthem that if Atlas falls, we will hold each other up in times of strife. Purchase the T-shirt and download “Atlas Falls” here:  https://smarturl.it/AtlasFallsTee. Listen to a clip of the song HERE.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an urgent need for protective equipment for doctors, nurses, and other health professionals being called upon to maintain regular health services and also care for those who become seriously ill and face the risk of death from the effects of the virus. Direct Relief is working in overdrive to get protective gear into the hands of as many health workers as possible as quickly as possible, with emergency deliveries leaving daily for medical facilities across the U.S. For more information on Direct Relief’s COVID-19 response efforts, please click HERE.

“I have always said and believe to be true that music can heal us all. We need music, and each other, now more than ever as we all are witnessing a global pandemic unlike anything we have ever seen in many generations. Myself, Barry, Zach, Eric, and our Shinedown family want the entire world to know that we are in this together, and we must all do our part and continue to encourage love, respect and taking care of each other. Now is the time to put our differences aside so that we can truly lift each other up. We have partnered with an incredible organization Direct Relief who are doing important work globally to help the medical community receive the resources they need in order to save lives. Years ago during the writing and recording of the Amaryllis album there was a song that meant a great deal to me and the band titled “Atlas Falls.” Although the song did not make the album, I always felt that one day the world would hear it...It has never been more clear to me than right now that the time has come for ‘Atlas Falls’ to arrive,” says Shinedown front man Brent Smith.

New York-based band Chapell unveil their new song "On The Rooftop" today. The song assumes the perspective of "a notorious enclave of NYC musicians and artists in the seventies" hosting a lawless, lusty, and lively dance party soundtracked by a danceable groove, shakers, and hummable riffing. PRESS HERE to listen. "On The Rooftop" is from the band's new album CINCO, out on April 24th.

Speaking on what inspired "On The Rooftop," Chapell said, "NYC has not always been kind to its artists and musicians. There's almost always been a sort of tension between polite society of New York and it's bohemian underbelly. Up until recently, the cabaret laws in place since the prohibition era often made it difficult to find a place for young people to hang out, make music and dance. Venues like CBGB's and the Ear Inn were wonderful, but also somewhat limited by rules imposed by those liquor laws. Until one group of musicians in the 1970's started throwing a series of now infamous rooftop parties throughout Soho and the West Village. This song is about that group and the movement they led."

Chapell recently released his songs "Shout," the lead single, and "All I Need" from CINCO. Musically, CINCO builds upon Alan's lifetime devoted to music, dating back to his first sessions in the studio alongside Grammy award-winning producer Jimmy Ienner at 15-years-old and his twenties spent in India fronting the iconic east-west fusion band Kalki. Chapell's latest album is a bit of a departure from the intense autobiographic nature of previous releases. CINCO is more of a collection of anecdotes about others. Delivering an identifiable and irresistible narrative pastiche, the album gives a voice to the stories of those closest to Chapell.

Led by its enigmatic frontman, the band Chapell recounts real and raw stories throughout a prolific catalog of genre-agnostic pop amplified by rock energy, jazz soul, new wave adventurousness, Americana vulnerability, and even Latin flavor. In 2017, the band released The Redhead's Allegations, produced by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads, followed by the albums Soul Man, Love in the Summer of Trouble, and 2019's Penultimate, which all have added to the band's over 1 million streams.

Stay tuned for the latest from Chapell.

"Some of us like to freak out with our beaks out, take off our shoes and get lost in the music until we enter another dimension,” shares bassist Erick “Jesus” Coomes. “So, we did this song in honor of all the ravers, dancers, DJs, partygoing sandy-feet-dancing desert dwellers, house loving people of all ethnicities, walks of life and ages...and mainly, mainly, mainly for the LOVE. Peace Love Unity and Respect.”

On Resonate, which plays like a master class in funk sub-genres, Lettuce continue to be celebrated boundary-pushing innovators in funk nearly three decades into their acclaimed career, blurring the lines and smashing it up with jazz chords, psychedelic passages, big horns, strains of soul and go-go, hip-hop elements and a joyful, uplifting improvisational sound all their own.

Reggae-influenced alternative rock band Iration has announced the details for their new studio album Coastin' and released new single "Right Here Right Now" featuring Eric Rachmany from Rebelution and Stick Figure. Set for release Friday, July 10th via the band's own Three Prong Records, Coastin' is the seventh full-length studio album from the Hawaiian-bred, California-based quintet. The release of "Right Here Right Now," a reggae-leaning anthem for our present lives, marks the first recorded original collaboration from the three acclaimed acts. PRESS HERE to download/stream. Coastin' is available for pre-order now at all DSPs and each pre-order will include an instant download of "Right Here Right Now" as well as the band's 2019 single "Chill Out" - PRESS HERE. Album and bundle packages will also be available at the official Iration webstore HERE.

"'Right Here, Right Now' is a song that celebrates living in the moment," shares Iration. "We wanted to give everybody an anthem, and who better to enlist than our friends Eric Rachmany from Rebelution and Stick Figure? Our new album Coastin' is a record about being thankful for the moments that we have and this song really focuses on that. It's such a timely message, so let's all celebrate self-reflection and live in the present."

Iration (Micah Pueschel [lead vocals/guitar], Adam Taylor [bass], Joe Dickens [drums], Cayson Peterson [keyboard/synth], Micah Brown [guitar/vocals]) shines like never before on Coastin' as they take listeners on a timeless 13-song musical journey, showcasing the band's distinct hybrid style of music blending rock and reggae with elements of pop and newly incorporated R&B, funk and jazz sounds, set against meaningful and personal lyrics that push positivity, good vibes and good feelings into the world. There's a story to be told from the beginning to the end of the album.

"When we think about the vibe of this record, one of the images that kept coming up was driving down PCH in a Cadillac convertible, top down, on a crispy, sunny day, and you just put the album on and drive," describes Pueschel. "That's the kind of feel that we want to bring - that feeling like there's no worries, you're not stressing about anything, you're just putting on the music and going down the coast, enjoying the ride."

Coastin', recorded at Santa Barbara Sound Design and East West Studios, was produced and co-written by David Manzoor (Lupe Fiasco, Cam, Method Man) and engineered by Will Brierre (Imagine Dragons, Chris Isaak), who were both behind the boards for the band's previous albums Iration and Hotting Up, and features an impressive blend of song and mix engineers including Jimmy Douglass (Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z), Mark Needham (Fleetwood Mac, The Killers, Saint Motel), Niko Marzouca & Rob Marks (Eminem, Usher, Rebelution) and Lars Stalfors (Cold War Kids, Foster The People, Massive Attack). The album, which combines modern music techniques with the energy of live music and the vibe of a band playing together, opens up with the title track "Coastin'," a song about being present and opening your mind, eyes and ears to your surroundings, and moves into "Contact High," a love song that leans more in the alternative rock lane with lush drums and a catchy hook. Lyrically, Coastin' is inspired by real life experiences, including the loss of friends, being in a life or job where you're apart from your loved ones, and even an ode to Pueschel's newborn daughter. The forthcoming collection also features guest appearances from Common Kings on the R&B-tinged track "If You Only Knew" and Hawaiian-based female reggae vocalist Eli-Mac on "Guava Lane" as well as orchestral strings on multiple songs. Full track listing for Coastin' below.

Since their formation over 15 years ago, Iration has racked up more than 1 billion total streams. Their previous albums Hotting Up [2015] and Automatic [2013] both peaked at #1 on Billboard's Reggae Albums Chart with Iration [2018], Double Up [2016] and Time Bomb [2010] each reaching #2 on the chart. The band's music has also been featured on alternative rock radio stations across the country, including The World Famous KROQ in Los Angeles. The celebrated five-piece, known for their vivacious live performances and relentless touring, has also sold out headlining shows across the country including last summer's massive amphitheater outing, performed at festivals nationwide such as Lollapalooza, Hangout, BottleRock, SXSW, Life Is Beautiful and Outside Lands as well as special events for the San Francisco Giants, San Francisco 49ers and Bernie Sanders, and has toured and appeared alongside Slightly Stoopid, Rebelution, Sublime With Rome, UB40, Dirty Heads and many more throughout their impressive and growing career. The band is hopeful they'll be able to get out on the road soon to support Coastin' and bring their aloha spirit to audiences worldwide; stay tuned to their social channels and website www.irationmusic.com for updates on tour dates.

Roots-rock band, Michigan Rattlers have put their own spin on Three Dog Night's "Never Been To Spain," giving the classic song a fresh and unique feel. The song had become both a staple and a fan favorite in the band's winter tour setlist before the tour was cut short. The song and video were both recorded live at their last tour stop in Chicago before everything shut down. PRESS HERE to listen and HERE to watch the coinciding single cam live video. "Lyrically, in the midst of COVID-19, this song has taken on a bit of a heavier sentiment," said the band's frontman Graham Young. "This feeling of admiring people and places from afar. It was certainly in the back of our minds that our tour might have to be truncated, but I don't think any of us thought the show in Chicago was gonna be the last one for awhile. I'm really glad we were able to capture the performance before everything got turned upside down. We're a band that lives for performing and for connecting with our audience. And for us and for the fans, it's a great reminder of what was and what will be again."

He continued, "Tony, the band's drummer, brought up the idea of covering 'Never Been To Spain.'He's a huge fan of the Elvis Presley version. On the road we always take turns DJ-ing music in the van after shows and he would always put the song on. We loved it and thought we should take a crack at it. Honest, I didn't realize how popular a song it is and I remember the crowd singing along so loudly the first time we played it. I was shocked by the response."

In February, the band released their first new single of 2020 - "Desert Heat."PRESS HERE to listen; and check out the first look from American Songwriter who describes the track as "A Mojave road trip, red dust kicked up by the wind and tires, windows down and shades on feeling invincible, like nothing can touch you.  On a conquest for something bigger, while recalling the treasured small things along the way. This is the exact imagery and notion fostered from the stellar new single by feel-good, folk-rockers Michigan Rattlers." The anthemic tune picks up right where their critically debut full length Evergreen(2018) left off, and fans can expect a new album later this year.

Michigan Rattlers have started rescheduling winter tour dates and are hoping to get back on the road this summer. Full routing can be found below, but all dates are subject to change. Please stay tuned to www.michiganrattlers.com for updates and information.

Today, GRAMMY-nominated funk-jazz-soul-hip-hop-psychedelic-jam-experimental titans Lettuce have released their seventh studio album, Resonate, via Round Hill Records. PRESS HERE to listen. The new 11-track collection, featuring the previously released songs "Checker Wrecker," "'NDUGU" and "House of Lett," is a sonic continuation of the acclaimed sextet's 2019 GRAMMY Award-nominated album Elevate, which earned the band their first collective nomination in the category of Best Contemporary Instrumental Album.

On Resonate, which plays like a master class in funk sub-genres, Lettuce continue to be celebrated boundary-pushing innovators nearly three decades into their lauded career, blurring the lines and smashing it up with jazz chords, psychedelic passages, big horns, strains of soul and go-go, hip-hop elements and a joyful, uplifting improvisational sound all their own.

Upheld by deft riffing, hummable horns, and "Tower of Power energy," Resonate ignites with the boisterous "Blaze," which the band has kicked around live for years. Drawing on a longstanding collective passion for Washington, DC go-go music, Lettuce welcomed scene legends Big Tony Fisher of Trouble Funk and Tyrone "Jungle Boogie" Williams of Rare Essence into their ecosystem for the funkified lead single "Checker Wrecker." "House of Lett" taps into a more dance-inspired sound, encouraging listeners to lose themselves in the music and get up and move. Lettuce also found inspiration from many of their idols for Resonate ranging from James Brown on the soulful jam "Mr. Dynamite" to legendary drummer Leon 'Ndugu' Chancler for the groovy instrumental "'NDUGU." One of only two tracks featuring vocals is "Remember The Children," the band's version of the Earth, Wind & Fire deep-cut that showcases Lettuce vocalist Nigel Hall. Meanwhile, "Moksha" explores the edges of psychedelia with legendary sitarist Indrajit Banerjee blessing the tune with sitar conjurations floating in and out of ethereal guitar transmissions. Nearing the nine-minute mark, the closer and title track "Resonate" sees the band once again tread new territory with a more meditational, mood vibe. Full track listing below.

A powerhouse collective made up of world-class master musicians, the members of Lettuce - Adam Deitch (drums, percussion, arrangement), Adam "Shmeeans" Smirnoff (guitar), Erick "Jesus" Coomes (bass), Ryan Zoidis (alto, baritone, tenor sax, Korg X-911), Eric "Benny" Bloom (trumpet, horns) and Nigel Hall (vocals, Hammond B-3, Rhodes, clavinet, keyboards) - are also some of the most highly sought-after musicians in the industry with resumes that read like a who's who in hip-hop, pop, and beyond, working and performing with everyone from Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Questlove, Justin Timberlake, The Fugees, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Britney Spears, Gary Clark Jr., Skrillex, Solange, and so many more. Lettuce's ever-changing and all-inclusive musical palette is often praised for the way it blurs lines and smashes together genres into exciting and compelling art - drawing acclaim from everyone from NPR, New York Times, Consequence of Sound and Billboard to BrooklynVegan, Earmilk, HipHopDX and Relix.

As the world continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, Maryland-based trio Pressing Strings - Jordan Sokel, Nick Welker, and Brandon Bartlett - have released the video for their single "Brave" to honor the COVID-19 frontline workers who are putting their lives on the line to help others. With soothing instrumentals and uplifting lyrics such as, "Hold the light when you're scared of the darkness / And when the days get tough / And you get tired and you've had enough / Be brave like I told ya, be brave," the visual features footage sent in by fans and essential workers interspersed with snippets of the band performing a quarantine-style version of the song. PRESS HERE to watch.

Speaking on the inspiration for both the song and video, frontman Jordan Sokel said, "The song 'Brave' was originally written about my daughter Norah while she was still in her mom's belly. It's a snapshot of what I was feeling as I was getting ready to be a father for the first time. For the video we obviously wanted to showcase bravery, so we decided to take to social media and ask medical workers, first responders, grocery workers, delivery drivers, etc. to submit videos of themselves and others on the job during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Basically, we wanted to show our appreciation for the people who stepped up and kept the society afloat during this strange and stressful time. The song really lent itself to that concept."

"Brave" is the latest single from the band's latest album Settle In. PRESS HERE to listen.The track follows the release of soulful singles "The Madness" and "Always Around".

Regardless of your beliefs, everyone eventually needs a helping hand, a shoulder to lean on, a compassionate ear to listen, or a voice of reason to guide us along our way.

The celebrated five-piece, known for their vivacious live performances and relentless touring, has brought their aloha spirit to festivals nationwide such as Lollapalooza, Hangout, BottleRock, SXSW, Life Is Beautiful and Outside Lands as well as special events for the San Francisco Giants, San Francisco 49ers and Bernie Sanders. In addition to their sold-out headlining shows across the country including last summer’s massive amphitheater outing, Iration has also toured and appeared alongside Slightly Stoopid, Rebelution, Sublime With Rome, UB40, Dirty Heads and many more throughout their impressive and growing career.

Holler folk trio The Ghost of Paul Revere has announced "Live At The Drive-In," a concert series that will be hosted at the Narrow Gauge Cinema in Farmington, ME from Thursday, June 25th to Sunday, June 28th.

Sharing the band's excitement for the shows, The Ghost of Paul Revere's Griffin Sherry said, "We've always been a do-it-yourself kind of band. From our records to our festival, we're driven by it. As the live music landscape changes and transforms, we've had to transform too. After four long months, we're ready to put on one hell of a show, in a totally new format. It'll be live, and that's a start. Let's get weird, Maine."

Concertgoers can purchase tickets for the shows for $110 per car. In order to comply with the CDC guidelines regarding social distancing, audience members will be asked to stay in their designated car area except when using the restroom or purchasing food and beverages. Fans are also asked to wear a mask and stay six feet apart from crowd members when they are outside of their cars.

The "Live At The Drive-In" concert series is the latest event from The Ghost of Paul Revere to celebrate the communal spirit of their home state. Their annual festival, Ghostland, celebrates Maine's natural beauty and sense of community with music and great food. In fact, the state has embraced the spirit of camaraderie Ghostland embodies and declared the band's song the "Ballad Of The 20th Maine" as the Official State Ballad of Maine last year. PRESS HERE to watch a recap video of last year's Ghostland. This year's Ghostland festival has been postponed to Labor Day Weekend, September 3rd and 4th, 2021, and will feature performances from The Ghost of Paul Revere, Deer Tick, The Mallett Brothers Band, and Bell Systems.

Before the release of their 2019 EP, Field Notes, Vol. 2, the band showcased the progression of their style and signature sound with the 2017 album Monarch and songs including "Wild Child," which has garnered over 1.8 million streams on Spotify. PRESS HERE to listen. The Ghost of Paul Revere are also gearing up to release new music. Stay tuned for more to come this year!

Today, folk-influenced male/female indie pop band The National Parks has released their fourth independent full-length studio album Wildflower. PRESS HERE to stream/download and PRESS HERE to purchase on CD or green vinyl. Wildflower is about struggles and growth, hard times and faith, and knowing that through trials and tribulations the best is yet to come. The 15 songs on the new album hope to inspire and uplift listeners and remind everyone to be authentically themselves and feel encouraged that we can all get through anything and everything life throws at us. Coinciding with the album's release, The National Parks have also dropped the official music video for their latest single "Waiting For Lightning," which wraps the visual trilogy running throughout the videos for previous singles "Wildflower" and "Time." PRESS HERE to watch the new video for "Waiting For Lightning," directed by Jeremy Prusso.

To celebrate the release of Wildflower, The National Parks have found a creative COVID-style way to tour and bring their new music to fans with their intimate "Campfire Tour." The 19-date outing, kicking off tonight, will feature special acoustic, backyard shows set under the stars around a campfire at private residences in Utah, Nevada, Arizona and Idaho. All shows, most of which are already sold out, are open to 40 people and will follow proper social distancing regulations per state. Dates and cities listed below.

"It's hard to believe that Wildflower is out now!," exclaims lead vocalist/guitarist Brady Parks. "This album has been almost three years in the making. We wanted to be patient and intentional with every word, instrument and message and because of that, it's an album that we hold near and dear to our hearts. Wildflower is an album about life and love, challenges and joy, and about staying true to who you are through all of it. We hope the songs on this album can be a reminder that we are all in this together. We are so excited to release it into the world and to start off the Wildflower era around a campfire, playing stripped down versions and telling the stories behind the songs on the Campfire Tour. We're ready to make beautiful memories as this new chapter begins!"

The National Parks bloom like never before on the aptly titled Wildflower, the follow-up to their 2017 release Places. Produced and mixed by longtime collaborator Scott Wiley, the new collection features the band's best songwriting to date and a variety of sounds and styles, as well as a lot of heart. Distorted electric guitar elevates the hypnotic hook on title track "Wildflower" as a steady arena-size beat reverberates underneath soaring vocals on the rock-influenced song. On "Time," warm acoustic strumming wraps around a glitchy electronic beat before an emotional hook urges for patience and perseverance through struggle. The folk instrumentation of "Waiting For Lightning" gives way to a sunny chant about putting yourself out there and waiting for your chance. The expansive soundscape of "Painted Sky" evokes a Spaghetti Western-soundtrack and illuminates the sonic adventurism at the heart of the music. Wildflower also features the band's 2019 pop-infused single "I Can Feel It," currently featured in Netflix's new hit movie The Wrong Missy. Full track listing below.

Each episode, approximately 20 minutes long, highlights an album track via in-depth stories and sounds to showcase how it was written, created and produced. PRESS HERE to listen to the episodes about "Wildflower," "Time" and "Waiting For Lightning" with more to come.

Since emerging in 2013 with their introductory album Young, The National Parks - Brady Parks [guitar, vocals], Sydney Macfarlane [keys, vocals], Cam Brannelly [drums] and Megan Parks [violin] - have quietly grown into an independent phenomenon with roots embedded in blissful pop, cinematic electronics, organic orchestration, and rock energy. The Provo, UT-based band has racked up over 90 million total streams, sold out headlining shows, toured with Andy Grammer, Peter Bjorn and John and WILD, and performed at KAABOO Del Mar, SXSW and CMJ, while garnering praise and support from the likes of NPR, Paste, PopMatters, Relix, Atwood Magazine, Glide Magazine and Substream Magazine and comparisons to The Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, and The Head and The Heart.

"'Move Forward' is a song about growing up," shares lead vocalist/guitarist Micah Pueschel. "It's about overcoming struggles in life and coming out on the other side more complete and more in touch with yourself and your surroundings."

Iration (Micah Pueschel [lead vocals/guitar], Adam Taylor [bass], Joe Dickens [drums], Cayson Peterson [keyboard/synth], Micah Brown [guitar/vocals]) shines like never before on Coastin' as they take listeners on a timeless 13-song musical journey inspired by real life experiences. Produced and co-written by David Manzoor (Lupe Fiasco, Cam, Method Man) and engineered by Will Brierre (Imagine Dragons, Chris Isaak), along with an impressive roster of song and mix engineers, Coastin' showcases the Hawaiian-bred, California-based band's distinct hybrid style of music blending rock and reggae with elements of pop and newly incorporated R&B, funk and jazz sounds, set against meaningful and personal lyrics that push positivity, good vibes and good feelings into the world. The upcoming collection also features guest appearances from Common Kings and Eli-Mac.

Since the beginning of April, Iration has been hosting a weekly chat called "The Uplifter" to bring good vibes and humor to fans. Initially started as a livestream, The Uplifter, which features the entire band and some special guests discussing current events, Coastin', band origins and more, is now exclusively a podcast available on all major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts and Spotify with new episodes available every Thursday. Today's new episode is focused on "Move Forward" along with discussing the band member's struggles as musicians as well as their "worst concert ever" moments - PRESS HERE to listen/subscribe.

Iration's impressive and growing career continues to make waves since their formation over 15 years. Their previous albums Hotting Up [2015] and Automatic [2013] both peaked at #1 on Billboard's Reggae Albums Chart with Iration [2018], Double Up [2016] and Time Bomb [2010] each reaching #2 on the chart. The band's music, which has racked up more than 1 billion collective streams, has also been featured on alternative rock radio stations across the country, including The World Famous KROQ in Los Angeles.

Rising Australian singer-songwriter Jamie-Lee Dimes has released the music video for her latest single "Virginia." The marching, alt-folk love letter inspired by the infamous 2017 rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia seeks to reclaim the state from its recent history and spark the conversations needed to usher the world towards equality and acceptance. PRESS HERE to watch the nostalgic, melancholy-drenched video which was filmed in the days after SXSW's cancellation and serves as a moment frozen in time of an America in the middle of pandemic shutdowns, breaking news alerts, and uncertainty.

“I felt weary and uninspired in the time following the cancellation of SXSW,” says Jamie-Lee. “But I did what I know best and hit the road with my friend, filmmaker Vanessa Pla and a super8 camera. We set up camp in seventies roadside motels and explored a side of America that isn’t often seen, channeling our uncertainty into art during a time that will go down in history.”

Working on her debut studio album and making music spurred by a need to ignite conversations, ideas, and change, Jamie-Lee’s “Virginia” follows on the heels of the recently unveiled “Release Me.” PRESS HERE to watch the video which pays tribute to Australia’s natural beauty in the wake of the recent bush fires, and wrestles with complex feelings of discrimination to provide a voice for those in society who might not have one in a landscape where the stakes are higher than ever.

An eclectic artist with a global perspective fueled by wanderlust and writing sessions all over the world, Jamie-Lee infuses her unique blend of nostalgic 60s rock and dreamy, melancholic folk with activism to draw inspiration from revolutionary artists such as Patti Smith, Cat Power, Kim Gordon, PJ Harvey, Grace Slick, and more. Creating moody ethereal soundscapes, such as those featured on her atmospheric and cinematic 2016 EP Liminality, Jamie-Lee recently wrapped an international tour in support of her previously released singles “Waste of Time,” a reminder to walk forward on the path of uncertainty, and “Hide in My Head.” Both singles, alongside Liminality, reflect her experiences living and studying dance in New York City, eventually merging Australian studies in music, classical ballet, drama, and contemporary choreography into her songwriting and music.

In celebration of their new album Coastin' dropping this Friday, July 10th, reggae-influenced alternative rock band Iration has announced an official livestream performance event for Thursday, July 9th. Presented by NoCap, the new venue-based streaming platform created by Roxy Theater co-owner and musician Cisco Adler and singer-songwriter Donavon Frankenreiter, the Coastin' Livestream will broadcast from SOhO in Santa Barbara, CA starting at 7pm PT/10pm ET and will mark the first time Iration has performed songs off the new album. This is a free show with RSVP - PRESS HERE to sign up.

Coastin', the seventh full-length studio album from the Hawaiian-bred, California-based quintet, is a 13-song musical journey showcasing Iration's distinct hybrid style of music blending rock and reggae with elements of pop and newly incorporated R&B, funk and jazz sounds, set against meaningful and personal lyrics that push positivity, good vibes and good feelings into the world. Coastin' (Three Prong Records) features "Right Here Right Now" featuring Eric Rachmany from Rebelution and Stick Figure, "Move Forward," "Coastin'" and "Chill Out." PRESS HERE to pre-order Coastin'; various album and bundle packages are also available at the official Iration webstore HERE.

Holler folk trio The Ghost of Paul Revere have released their new single and video "Love At Your Convenience" PRESS HERE to listen to the song, which features shimmering piano, sweeping guitar, uplifting harmonies, and soaring yet soulful chants. Directed by Joshua Hand, the visual features the band performing the song in the rustic setting of an empty warehouse with floating white roses, illustrating the idea that no one's love should be taken for granted. PRESS HERE to watch the video and check out the first look on American Songwriter.

Speaking on the inspiration behind the song, The Ghost of Paul Revere's Griffin Sherry said, "'Love at Your Convenience' is a song about coping with the emotions of leaving someone you love. We wanted the arrangement to be powerful and the vocals visceral, so we looked to inspiration from bands like the Pixies, Led Zeppelin, Local Natives, and The Band. 'Love at Your Convenience' was the first of these new songs we worked on the road, and it has already become one of the most requested songs at our shows. I believe it's the emotion we captured, playing to that universal understanding of heartbreak, that resonates with people when they hear it. Ultimately, we made a song about how quickly anger makes us forget love, about coming to terms with hard decisions, and the peace that can be found at the end of things. Then, we played the hell out of it."

The Ghost of Paul Revere recently announced their "Live At The Drive-In" July 2020 concert series dates in the Northeast, along with a livestream performance with Daryl's House Club and a show at Levitate Backyard. PRESS HERE to purchase tickets. Additionally, they just wrapped up their "Live At The Drive-In" concert series at the Narrow Gauge Cinema in Farmington, ME.

THE GHOST OF PAUL REVERE'S SUMMER TOUR DATES

* Drive-in show

Known for their dynamic and innovative sound, Asheville, North Carolina band Town Mountain returns with, “You Can’t Win Em All”, premiering exclusively at Wide Open Country today. Written by vocalist and mandolin player Phil Barker, the single is a swaying lament on love lost and introspective reflection on past decisions. “I envisioned this tune as a last-song-on-the-jukebox kind of vibe…when everything is winding down and you’re left with the quiet of the evening to think back on the way life and love has gone,” Barker explains, “Not just with regret, but also with acceptance on how some things work out for the best in the long run.” Produced by Grammy award-winner Joel Savoy, the song’s heartfelt vocals are paired with banjo, steel guitar, and stirring fiddle, making for the band’s most country song to date. “You Can’t Win Em All” is available everywhere this Friday; fans can pre-save the single on Spotify here.

Recorded almost a year ago after the band made their acclaimed Red Rocks debut, “You Can’t Win Em All” was finished in self-isolation with the help of some co-collaborators. “We tracked the beginnings of the song on a day off of tour last fall, and had been wondering how to further develop it,” Barker says, “So with everybody musically quarantined for the moment, it seemed to be the perfect opportunity to do some remote collaboration to fully realize the vision of the tune.”

The band enlisted the help of longtime friend Joel Savoy, a Grammy award-winning producer and engineer, as well as a ten-time Grammy nominee. Barker explains, “We met Joel years ago at a festival in Canada and became good buddies with him, and big admirers of his brand of cajun and country music. From recordings we’ve heard that he’s played on and produced, we knew he would be the perfect person to give the song the fuller sound we wanted and we knew that the crew of musicians he works with down around Lafayette, Louisiana are all top notch players. Seems like everyone down there plays so soulfully and is all about the classic tones. We’re thrilled with what they added to the tune.” 

Long-running instrumental-electronic quintet Lotus has announced the details for their new studio album Free Swim and released their new single "Catacombs." Set for independent release Friday, August 21st, Free Swim mines dance grooves from soulful funk to dirty disco to build instrumental songs with a signature Lotus sound. Named for the Catacombs of Paris, which are explored by people looking for adventure and thrills underground, "Catacombs" opens Free Swim and invites listeners to descend into the depths of groovy-funky jazz. PRESS HERE to download/stream "Catacombs" and check out the first listen with BrooklynVegan, who hails the song "infectious." Free Swim will be available digitally and on vinyl and is now available for pre-order at www.lotusvibes.com; each pre-order will include an instant download of "Catacombs."

"Two groups that steered me into electronic dance music in college were Daft Punk and St. Germain," shares Luke Miller (keyboards, guitar). "Daft Punk utilized a sample-centric, loop style while St. Germain combined four-on-the-floor beats with jazz harmony and solos. Both were from France surrounding them an air of mystery and sophistication. They were both placed under the umbrella genre of 'French Touch,' which worshipped at the feet of disco-edit and heavy filters. For 'Catacombs,' I wanted to combine these two vibes. The bass holds down a funky groove that dances around the root, always falling forward harmonically. The drums and percussion lock into a tight engine. The keys glue it together with analog synth chords and disco string stabs. The guitar adds a jazzy melody and Nile Rodgers-esque funky chords. The cream in the espresso is the flute by guest Sam Greenfield. Halfway into the song he lets loose on a flurry of licks to heat the groove to a boil."

Written and produced by the group's Jesse and Luke Miller and recorded earlier this year at Spice House Sound in Philadelphia, Free Swim marks the follow-up to Lotus's 2018 audio and video album experience Frames Per Second and the band's 10th full-length studio album overall, not including their multiple live, EP and remix collections. The 10-track album pays homage to the greats of music's past, built on the bones of what the five members of Lotus listen to and have absorbed over time. Free Swim is an eclectic and groovy instrumental mix of funk, disco, jazz and psychedelia, looking to bring happiness and joy to listeners. From the jazzy-house of "Catacombs" to the vintage funk of "Sepia Rainbow" and "Earl of Grey" and the head-bopping cosmic disco tune "Bjorn Gets A Haircut," Free Swim will make you want to move. The chorus on title track "Free Swim," whose groove is built on a galloping piano riff and a syncopated guitar melody, is full of summer brightness with the guitar and synth repeating against a bass line that bounces like bare feet on a hot pavement. Track listing for Free Swim below.

"Luke named the track 'Free Swim' and I thought it also made a great album name," explains Jesse Miller (bass, modular synth). "Free swim can be read a couple of different ways, but I think both can apply to Lotus's music. The first brings me back to childhood when my mom would drive myself and four brothers to the public pool. The free swim time was pure, unrestrained joy as we soared off the diving boards and burned off excess energy swimming for hours in the summers. The second reading is becoming free while swimming. I picture the feeling of weightlessness in open water in some beautiful, remote location. When we write for Lotus, we try to use the energy of a live show to guide our arrangements. I always hope it can take people to a place that feels joyous, energized and free."

Lotus has always been difficult to define musically; an instrumental jamband that has favored groove-based improvisation instead of gaudy solos and noodling. Influences of classic electronic dance music, funk, post-rock and dance-rock have all made their way into the Lotus sound. Over the years, their unique musical blend helped forge a new path in the jamband landscape, influencing many younger bands in the scene. Albums such as their debut studio release, Nomad (2006) have become a touchstone for how to organically fuse elements of electronica with jam music, and the band continues to evolve through each tour and album bringing in new sounds and writing styles. Since their formation two decades ago, Lotus - Mike Greenfield (drums), Jesse Miller (bass, modular synth), Luke Miller (keyboards, guitar), Mike Rempel (guitar) and Chuck Morris (percussion) - has toured actively throughout the US working their way up from dingy basement clubs to world-class venues such as Red Rocks. They've become festival favorites, playing everything from Bonnaroo, Camp Bisco and Outside Lands to Ultra Music Festival and Electric Forest, building a hyper-loyal following along the way. Lotus also hosts their annual SummerDance Festival in Garrettsville, Ohio. A Lotus live show is an experience, a uniquely crafted and improvised set taking everyone, the crowd and band, on a journey.

That unique journey continues with Free Swim, which is packed with catchy melodies and killer grooves with a rich analog sound from top to bottom. The end result is a wide variety of styles that twist and turn, but all of them are a blast of sunshine glinting off the water. Jump in for Free Swim!

Aiming to create a sense of community with their music, The Ghost of Paul Revere examine life's ebbs and flows through a distinct and dynamic distillation of folk, bluegrass, rock, and alternative music on the new album. The collection finds the Maine-based band firing on all cylinders as they explore themes of triumph, loss, satisfaction, heartbreak and love. It's an album that's fueled by shimmering piano, sweeping guitar, soaring harmonies and punctuated by unrestrained rock ambition. As the band widens their creative palette and expands their sound, Good At Losing Everything attracts an even bigger community, while bringing the inner circle of longtime fans closer than ever. While this marks their third record with engineer and producer Jonathan Wyman, it would be their first collaboration with friend, producer, and co-writer Spencer Albee. The Maine trio [Max Davis (vocals, banjo), Sean McCarthy (vocals, bass) and Griffin Sherry (vocals,

guitar)] also welcomed new members, drummer Chuck Gagne and multi-instrumentalist Jackson Kincheloe, as well as pianist Ben Cosgrove, into the fold to record.

Since forming in 2011, the band has created a following that has propelled them from a local to a national level, tallying 15 million+ independent streams to date. After releasing the EP North in 2012, their signature style progressed over the course of two full-length albums- Believe (2014) and Monarch(2017)-and a pair of EPs-Field Notes, Vol. 1 (2015) and Field Notes, Vol. 2 (2019). They've performed alongside The Avett Brothers, Jason Isbell, The Revivalists, Bela Fleck, and The Infamous Stringdusters, sold out countless gigs, appeared at major festivals nationwide: Newport Folk, Austin City Limits, Winter WonderGrass, BottleRock Napa, Shaky Knees, Okeechobee, and Voodoo Music + Arts Experience, and  garnered critical acclaim from the likes of Billboard, American Songwriter, Relix, Boston Globe, AXS, No Depression and The Boot, who appropriately dubbed them, "not quite bluegrass, not quite country, not quite rock 'n' roll, but kind of all three combined."

The band took home "Best in Maine" at the New England Music Awards twice, in 2015 and 2019. In 2019, their song, "Ballad Of The 20th Maine", became the Official State Ballad of Maine after being passed unanimously by the Senate and House of Representatives and signed into law by Maine's Governor, Janet Mills.

Their annual festival, Ghostland, celebrates Maine with good music and great food. This year's Ghostland Festival has been postponed to Labor Day Weekend, September 3rd and 4th, 2021, and will feature performances from The Ghost of Paul Revere, Deer Tick, The Mallett Brothers Band, and Bell Systems.

As they prepare for the release of their new studio album Free Swim, out August 21st, long-running instrumental-electronic quintet Lotus has released a second track off the forthcoming collection, "Bjorn Gets A Haircut." The cosmic disco tune is available now exclusively on YouTube - PRESS HERE to watch/listen. The in-studio, animated video for "Bjorn Gets A Haircut" was filmed at Spice House Sound in their hometown of Philadelphia, where the entire album was recorded earlier this year. Check out the first look with Glide Magazine, who described the new song as "a grab-bag of instrumental groove gumbo." Free Swim will be available digitally and on vinyl and is available now for pre-order at www.lotusvibes.com; each pre-order includes an instant download of lead single "Catacombs."

"'Bjorn Gets a Haircut' is a head-bopping cosmic disco tune," explains Luke Miller (keyboards, guitar). "It takes cues from the Nordic disco playbooks of producers like Todd Terje and Lindstrom. The main hook is a Mellotron vocal 'Oh' patch leading into a chorus of slick chromatic chord changes on the piano. The guitar takes over in the middle for an improvisatory freeride."

"Video was shot while we tracked live at Spice House Sound," adds Jesse Miller (bass, modular synth). "The animation was created using the same live-reactive system I have been building for Lotus's live show. I used triggers from the drums and other music elements while tweaking parameters live on a MIDI controller and all of these data interact with randomized and evolving calculations in the custom video generation program."

Free Swim mines dance grooves from soulful funk to dirty disco to build instrumental songs with a signature Lotus sound that will make its listeners want to move. The 10-track album, written and produced by Luke and Jesse, pays homage to the greats of music's past, built on the bones of what the five members of Lotus listen to and have absorbed over time. Free Swim opens with the jazzy-house single "Catacombs," which was inspired by everyone from Daft Punk and St. Germain to Nile Rodgers and has been hailed "infectious" by BrooklynVegan. The chorus on title track "Free Swim," whose groove is built on a galloping piano riff and a syncopated guitar melody, is full of summer brightness with the guitar and synth repeating against a bass line that bounces like bare feet on a hot pavement. Free Swim is an eclectic and groovy instrumental mix of funk, disco, jazz and psychedelia, looking to bring happiness and joy to listeners. The forthcoming album marks the band's 10th full-length studio album overall, not including their multiple live, EP and remix collections, and is the follow-up to their 2018 audio and video album experience Frames Per Second. Track listing for Free Swim below.

In celebration of the release of Free Swim, Lotus will return to the live stage on Friday, September 4th for one night only as part of the Live-In/Drive-In concert series, presented by Live Nation Philadelphia and Budweiser Zero in partnership with the Philadelphia Phillies, in the parking lot adjacent to Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

"It has without a doubt been a trying time for everyone," shares Jesse. "As a band who has built our sound, following and career around live performances, it has been tough to cancel show after show. With all that in mind, we are embracing the chance to play this unique drive-in show. While it might be different than packing onto a dance floor, we hope we can take this opportunity to capture the magic and energy that is improvised music played live."

Lotus has always been difficult to define musically; an instrumental jamband that has favored groove-based improvisation instead of gaudy solos and noodling. Influences of classic electronic dance music, funk, post-rock and dance-rock have all made their way into the Lotus sound. Over the years, their unique musical blend helped forge a new path in the jamband landscape, influencing many younger bands in the scene. Albums such as their debut studio release, Nomad (2006) have become a touchstone for how to organically fuse elements of electronica with jam music, and the band continues to evolve through each tour and album bringing in new sounds and writing styles. Since their formation two decades ago, Lotus - Mike Greenfield (drums), Jesse Miller (bass, modular synth), Luke Miller (keyboards, guitar), Mike Rempel (guitar) and Chuck Morris (percussion) - has toured actively throughout the US working their way up from dingy basement clubs to world-class venues such as Red Rocks. They've become festival favorites, playing everything from Bonnaroo, Camp Bisco and Outside Lands to Ultra Music Festival and Electric Forest, building a hyper-loyal following along the way. Lotus also hosts their annual SummerDance Festival in Garrettsville, Ohio. A Lotus live show is an experience, a uniquely crafted and improvised set taking everyone, the crowd and band, on a journey.

Holler folk trio The Ghost of Paul Revere have released an exciting new animated lyric video for "Love At Your Convenience" - the lead single from their forthcoming third full-length studio album, Good At Losing Everything. PRESS HERE to watch the stunning visualizer that was put together by Brooklyn-based Dreambear Animation (Gary Clark Jr., Lizzo,, Steve Martin, Dua Lipa, Doja Cat). The song, which was released earlier this summer, and has quickly become a new fan-favorite and features shimmering piano, sweeping guitar, uplifting harmonies, and soaring yet soulful chants. The band's new album will be out on August 28, and the 12 track LP is available for pre-order now (PRESS HERE to stream the single on all DSPs and HERE to pre-order or pre-save the album). Full track listing can be found below, and fans can purchase limited edition merch/bundles and sign up for the band's new Patreon fan club.

Aiming to create a sense of community with their music, The Ghost of Paul Revere examine life's ebbs and flows through a distinct and dynamic distillation of folk, bluegrass, rock, and alternative music on the new album. The collection finds the Maine-based band firing on all cylinders as they explore themes of triumph, loss, satisfaction, heartbreak and love. As the band continues to widen their creative palette and expands their sound, Good At Losing Everything attracts an even bigger community, while bringing the inner circle of longtime fans closer than ever. While this marks their third record with engineer and producer Jonathan Wyman, it would be their first collaboration with friend, producer, and co-writer Spencer Albee. The Maine trio [Max Davis (vocals, banjo), Sean McCarthy (vocals, bass) and Griffin Sherry (vocals, guitar)] also welcomed new members, drummer Chuck Gagne and multi-instrumentalist Jackson Kincheloe, as well as pianist Ben Cosgrove, into the fold to record.

Since forming in 2011, the band has created a following that has propelled them from a local to a national level, tallying 15 million+ independent streams to date. After releasing the EP North in 2012, their signature style progressed over the course of two full-length albums- Believe (2014) and Monarch(2017)-and a pair of EPs-Field Notes, Vol. 1 (2015) and Field Notes, Vol. 2 (2019). They've performed alongside The Avett Brothers, Jason Isbell, The Revivalists, Bela Fleck, and The Infamous Stringdusters, sold out countless gigs, appeared at major festivals nationwide: Newport Folk, Austin City Limits, Winter WonderGrass, BottleRock Napa, Shaky Knees, Okeechobee, and Voodoo Music + Arts Experience, and  garnered critical acclaim from the likes of Billboard, American Songwriter, Relix, Boston Globe, AXS, No Depression and The Boot, who appropriately dubbed them, "not quite bluegrass, not quite country, not quite rock 'n' roll, but kind of all three combined.”

The band took home "Best in Maine" at the New England Music Awards twice, in 2015 and 2019. In 2019, their song, "Ballad Of The 20th Maine", became the Official State Ballad of Maine after being passed unanimously by the Senate and House of Representatives and signed into law by Maine's Governor, Janet Mills.

Their annual festival, Ghostland, celebrates Maine with good music and great food. This year's Ghostland Festival has been postponed to Labor Day Weekend, September 3 and 4, 2021, and will feature performances from The Ghost of Paul Revere, Deer Tick, The Mallett Brothers Band, and Bell Systems.

Today, long-running instrumental-electronic quintet Lotus has released their new independent studio album, Free Swim. PRESS HERE to listen. Free Swim, available digitally and on vinyl, mines dance grooves from soulful funk to dirty disco to build instrumental songs with a signature Lotus sound. Check out the first listen with Relix. Written and produced by the group's Jesse and Luke Miller and recorded earlier this year at Spice House Sound in Philadelphia, Free Swim marks the band's 10th full-length studio album overall, not including their multiple live, EP and remix collections, and is the follow-up to Lotus's 2018 audio and video album experience Frames Per Second.

"After working on Free Swim for the last year and a half, we are very excited to share it with the world," shares Jesse Miller (bass, modular synth). "Crank up the speakers and dive in!"

The new 10-track album pays homage to the greats of music's past, built on the bones of what the five members of Lotus listen to and have absorbed over time. Free Swim is an eclectic and groovy instrumental mix of funk, disco, jazz and psychedelia, looking to bring happiness and joy to listeners. From the jazzy-house of album opener and lead single "Catacombs," which was inspired by everyone from Daft Punk and St. Germain to Nile Rodgers, to the vintage funk of "Sepia Rainbow" and "Earl of Grey" and the head-bopping cosmic disco tune "Bjorn Gets A Haircut," Free Swim will make you want to move. The chorus on title track "Free Swim," whose groove is built on a galloping piano riff and a syncopated guitar melody, is full of summer brightness with the guitar and synth repeating against a bass line that bounces like bare feet on a hot pavement. Tracklisting for Free Swim below.

Lotus will celebrate the release of Free Swim on Friday, September 4th with their only live performance for the remainder of the year. The special event takes place at the parking lot adjacent to Citizens Bank Park in their hometown of Philadelphia, part of the Live-In/Drive-In concert series presented by Live Nation Philadelphia and Budweiser Zero in partnership with the Philadelphia Phillies. PRESS HERE for tickets and more info.

Due to overwhelming demand, GRAMMY Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, producer, revered guitarist, and Gov't Mule front man Warren Haynes has announced three additional shows at the spacious South Farms in Morris, CT on October 1st, 8th, and 15th. These shows are part of the outdoor venue's socially distanced Twilight Concerts on The Farm series, which was created with both safety and the overall concert experience in mind and at the forefront. The initial back-to-back shows set for September 12th and 13th sold out instantly upon on-sale and mark Haynes' return to the stage for his first performances in six months following his last appearances in NYC right before the shutdown at a sold-out Madison Square Garden during The Brothers' 50th Anniversary show and the Love Rocks NYC Benefit Concert. These shows will feature two sets each night and Haynes will also be joined by his Gov't Mule bandmate, Danny Louis, during portions of each night's performance.

General on-sale starts September 1 at 12pm ET. Per state order the venue has a reduced capacity of 25% and tickets are extremely limited. PRESS HERE to purchase tickets for October 1st, PRESS HERE to purchase tickets for October 8th, and PRESS HERE to purchase tickets for October 15th.

PRESS HERE for a full updated list of states included in Connecticut's travel advisory.

"Like everyone else I've been jonesing to play live in front of an audience but was in no hurry to thrust myself, or my audience, into the wrong situation. After speaking with some friends who just played at South Farms and had great experiences, I was ready to move ahead," shares Haynes. "Due to the quick sellout of the first two shows, we've decided to add some more since the venue is close to home and I don't foresee hitting the road anytime soon. I'm looking at these added October shows as our 'Fall Tour.' The opportunity to play multiple nights, along with Danny, who I've been playing music with for well over 20 years, is especially exciting and full of amazing possibilities."

Located on over 10 acres of manicured farmland, South Farms boasts a beautifully structured grid layout, adhering to public health guidelines while still maintaining the intimacy of live concerts and social distancing through vast spacing and outdoor, open air conditions. Each ticket allows entry for two people as concertgoers will purchase an 8'x8' Grid which is surrounded by an additional Social Distance Grid along with aisle spacing. Each grid is designed for two guests and is offset to maximize stage view. Grids cannot be merged and it is required to watch the performance from the designated area. Guests are welcome to bring lawn chairs and blankets for comfortable seating and enjoying the farm field. While outside food and beverages are prohibited, food trucks and a full bar will be available on site.

Safety is the top priority, and both shows will comply with the most current health and safety standards per state regulations and local jurisdictions in order to protect guests, artists, crew and staff. Face masks are mandatory when entering, exiting, and traveling throughout the venue to restrooms or concession areas. Masks are not required while in Guest Grid, however in accordance with Executive Order No. 7NNN: "Effective immediately, any person in a public place in Connecticut, whether indoors or outdoors, who does not maintain a safe social distance of approximately six feet from every other person shall cover their mouth and nose with a mask or cloth face-covering." Hand sanitizing stations will be dispersed throughout the venue. High-touch areas such as door handles and counter surfaces will be regularly and consistently disinfected throughout the show. Restrooms will be cleaned and restocked regularly as well. Everyone entering the venue, including guests, artists, crew and staff will be health checked including a temperature check and short questionnaire. Masks and gloves will be available upon request.

Farmington-based restaurant Big Sky Grill will be selling food and beer for concertgoers next door, and outside food and non-alcoholic beverages are permitted.

“Way back in June (or the Fourth March of the quarantine calendar) we partnered with the Farmington Drive-In to figure out how to create a weekend of live music that was safe,” said Max Davis. “The result, by way of meticulous planning, preparation, and dedication to the current guidelines, was four truly amazing nights. Those nights helped us believe that with a thought out setting and an adaptive, compassionate community, we could slowly continue doing what we love for the people we love. In a time of so many unknowns, that belief means the world to us. We are beyond thrilled to announce our return this October, and we can’t wait to see you there.”

The 6-song collection features five original tracks including Marz’s recent single “Summer Bummer” along with his quarantine version of the Stealers Wheel classic “Stuck In The Middle With You.”

“I’m excited to have this music finally available for everyone to hear!” shares Marz. “The build up to release day is always a combination of excitement and anxiety so I’m ready for it to come out. I’m hoping fans can find a song or two to connect with!”

Though rooted in alt-rock, Chasing Light reveals a more singer-songwriter side to Marz, who found inspiration for the material from artists such as John Mayer and Harry Styles. All original tracks were written and produced by Marz, who also performs all of the instrumentation, with additional production from Jason Tucker. The EP, his first in over six years, opens with his version of “Stuck In The Middle With You,” which Marz felt compelled to record after feeling a sense of shock observing what’s going on in the world, specifically with cyber-bullying - PRESS HERE to watch the at-home music video. Elsewhere on Chasing Light is “Summer Bummer,” a mellow, anti-love song that touches upon feelings of loneliness, the personal “Stray,” written shortly after Marz’s dad passed away, and title track “Chasing Light,” which was inspired by a memorable trip to Las Vegas. PRESS HERE to watch the fan-filled music video for “Summer Bummer,” a commemorative sendoff to the abnormal summer of 2020. Full track listing for Chasing Light below.

Tommy Marz first began his solo career in 2011 with a cover of George Michael’s “Faith” that took off after Michael tweeted the video to his followers. His debut original single “I Want You” was released in 2012 with his first solo album Play. Listen. Rewind. Repeat. issued in 2013. Tommy’s most recent release was a version of Puddle Of Mudd’s hit song “Blurry” in 2019 that features legendary 90s hip-hop/pop group P.M. Dawn. The multi-faceted artist, who’s been performing in bands since 2004, also fronted the eponymous Tommy Marz Band between 2012-2018. The alt-rock trio released two albums (Bringing Alpha [2015] and Seventy-One Trips Around The Sun [2018]), which both charted on the iTunes top 30 rock chart, toured alongside artists such as Fuel, Scott Stapp, The Dan Band and Scott Weiland, and received media praise and support from the likes of National Rock Review, Elmore Magazine, All Access Music, Daytrotter, Skope Magazine and more.

“This global summit celebrates the Dalai Lama’s wisdom for our lives and message to the world, which we need now more than ever,” says Melvin McLeod, editor-in-chief of Lion’s Roar. “We are honored that His Holiness is personally supporting this historic event.”

The Dalai Lama Global Vision Summit will address six themes the Dalai Lama has personally identified as important to his life and work. They range from the keys to personal happiness, to the intersection of science and spirituality, to the Dalai Lama’s vision for a better future. Guided meditations by leading teachers and experts will help viewers bring the benefit of the Dalai Lama’s teachings into their own lives.

The six-day free event will feature talks by 22 renowned teachers, experts, activists, interfaith leaders, and friends of the Dalai Lama who will bring their own wisdom and expertise to the theme of the day. The six themes of The Dalai Lama Global Vision Summit are:

Celebrated roots rock band Dispatch have announced the launch of an extraordinary multi-part project that will be released in a series of phases, and today fans can stream “Phase 1.” PRESS HERE to listen to “May We All,” “All This Time,” and “One By One.” This series of phased drops will culminate in the band’s eighth studio album in 2021.

The journey begins with the chaos of “Phase 1,” which works its way through a litany of modern fears and frustration on the driving “May We All,” and laments the direction of the country in no uncertain terms on the simmering “All This Time” (listen closely for soulful vocal contributions from The White Buffalo), followed by the sadness of losing a loved one on “One By One.”

This music is pure Dispatch, blending infectious roots rock with hints of reggae, folk and blues, and the production is suitably lean and energetic, leaving plenty of space for some of the group’s most pointed political lyrics to date. The result is a timely and essential collection of songs from a band still breaking new ground two and a half decades into its storied career, an ode to resilience and survival that manages to find hope and joy on even the darkest of days.

Over the last year, bandmates Chadwick Stokes and Brad Corrigan have encountered and transcended unprecedented personal change against the backdrop of the societal upheaval that we have all been experiencing. While personally facing the death of loved ones and the joy of childbirth, Stokes and Corrigan have also parted ways with their beloved partner and bandmate, Pete Francis who stepped away in 2018 to focus on mental health. These new songs were written and recorded as the band’s means to process all this change, in the spirit of collective awakening with all its pain and beauty. This multi-phase project speaks not only to the band’s personal evolution, but to human nature itself.

“Everyone in this country has been facing some kind of turmoil these last four years,” said Chadwick Stokes. “As fathers of young kids who worry about what kind of world we’re leaving behind, as people who’ve lost family and friends to suicide and addiction, as bandmates navigating this transition from trio to duo, I think that feeling of everything being in flux was particularly acute for Brad and me. Writing’s always been the way we’ve made sense of the world, though, so that’s what we did.”

Adds Brad Corrigan, “We wanted to walk people through the feelings of sadness and anger and loss we’ve all been experiencing lately and take them to the other side. We wanted to deliver them to a place where they’re wiser and more compassionate, a place where they’re kinder and more unified, a place where they’re ready to truly protect and care for each other.”

These are lofty goals at any time, let alone at the end of the brutal year we’ve all experienced, and that’s the challenge Stokes and Corrigan were compelled to meet.

Stay tuned for updates, information and the release of “Phase 2” in the coming weeks.

Genre-bending indie band The High Plains Drifters have released their upbeat holiday single “Santa! Bring My Girlfriend Back!” PRESS HERE to stream. Check out the first look on Aesthetic Magazine. Produced by Greg Cohen (Robin Thicke, Nile Rodgers), the track tells the story of a distraught man who seeks solace in drink after having his girlfriend stolen by Santa Claus.

Inspired by a boozy and drama-filled Christmas dinner, the track features an array of instrumentation marrying traditional and contemporary sounds including upbeat marimbas, acoustic guitar chords, and horns reminiscent of everyone’s favorite holiday classics. After waking up the next morning and trying to remember the prior night’s holiday debacle, Larry Studnicky (HPD’s front man) was inspired to put pen to paper and craft the holiday tune after the melodies kept ringing in his head like a hangover.

“Santa! Bring My Girlfriend Back!” is a precursor to The High Plains Drifters forthcoming second album to be released in 2021.

“I cannot think of a better time to release this song than this year. Yeah, it has been a crappy year for the whole world, but at Christmas, perhaps more so than at any other time, the people of the world are going to want things to feel NORMAL again,” shared Studnicky. “They’ll want to have smiles on their faces and to enjoy some old-fashioned Christmas cheer. We hope this song will help them do that.”

The forthcoming collection is the follow up to the band’s debut self-titled album The High Plains Drifters. Their first offering conceptualizes a listening experience of a sonic road trip across the country, where your radio station of choice automatically tunes into different musical genres as you travel. As they propel the listener through various genres (pop-punk, mainstream rock, ballads and more), one thing is certain: The High Plain Drifters offer a cohesive body of “feel good” rock-n-roll. PRESS HERE to stream.

The High Plains Drifters’ founder, lyricist and front man is Larry Studnicky (songwriter, lead & backup vocals), who sings lead and backup vocals on “Santa! Bring My Girlfriend Back!”. The band also features Charles Czarnecki (producer/songwriter, keyboards, lead & backup vocals), John Macom (rhythm & electric guitars, lead & backup vocals), Mike DoCampo (rhythm & electric guitars, backup vocals), Kyle Cassel (drums, backup vocals), and Dave Richards (bass, backup vocals), most of whom are lifelong friends.

Before coming together as The High Plains Drifters, the group's members worked alongside an array of legendary acts and artists including Pete Townsend, Brian May & Roger Taylor of Queen, Suge Knight of Death Row Records, Fred Schneider of the B-52’s, and Mickey Dolenz of The Monkees. John Macom’s music has been showcased in indie movies and TV shows, including Dawson’s Creek, Party of Five, and Felicity.

Rising indie rock artist Michigander, the sonic alter ego of Michigan native Jason Singer, has released an acoustic version of his current single “Let Down.” The stripped-down version of the rock anthem, available via C3 Records, just premiered on ALT CTRL Radio with Hanuman on Apple Music. PRESS HERE to listen and PRESS HERE to watch the official performance video for the acoustic song. Since its release in September, “Let Down” has been making waves at Triple A radio stations across the country, where it has broken into the Top 20, in addition to its immense support and playlisting from Apple, Spotify and SiriusXM’s Alt Nation. “Let Down” has been the most added record at AAA almost every week since its release. PRESS HERE to download/stream the original version.

"It’s always cool to strip my songs back to just acoustic guitar and hear them at their simplest form,” shares Singer. “Most of my songs are written on just a guitar and I think this gives people the chance to experience the song for what it is at its core."

Michigander will be taking over SPIN’s Untitled Twitch Stream tomorrow, Wednesday, November 11th, starting at 3pm ET/12pm PT, for an afternoon hang session to play some songs and dive deep into their meanings. Watch live at twitch.tv/spinmag.

Michigander emanates a magnetic Midwest spirit, delivering uplifting anthems, raised even higher by six-string fireworks, empowering lyrics, and understated arena ambition. First brought to life in 2014 when the singer, songwriter, producer and guitarist was moving across his home state to Kalamazoo, Michigander has garnered the acclaim of NPR, Paste, NME, SPIN and many more, in addition to over 12 million streams globally. In 2016, the independent single “Nineties” took off, claiming real estate on multiple major Spotify playlists and cracking 1 million streams on the platform. Between releasing the 2018 EP Midland, Jason and his band shared the stage with the likes of Ra Ra Riot, Tokyo Police Club, Twin Peaks, and JR JR in addition to gracing the stages of festivals with alt-j, Solange, Foster The People, and Run The Jewels, to name a few. Signed to C3 Records, Michigander recorded and released the EP Where Do We Go From Here in 2019 and expanded his sound, as illuminated on the singles “Misery” and “Popular,” the latter of which saw placements on Spotify’s The New Alt, Fresh Finds, and Rock’n Vibes playlists and peaked at #21 on the Triple A charts. Jason wrote everything for his latest EP in his bedroom over the course of six months and co-produced the collection alongside Jake Rye. He emphasized the prominence of solos—in every song—making what he aptly describes as, “big pop songs disguised with guitars.” Ultimately, listening to Michigander makes you feel at home, like you’re driving through the Midwest. The release of “Let Down” and the folk-tinged companion track “48” this September marks the beginning of a new era for Michigander. Stay tuned, he’s only getting started.

Coastin’ was produced and co-written by David Manzoor (Lupe Fiasco, Cam, Method Man) and engineered by Will Brierre (Imagine Dragons, Chris Isaak) and features an impressive blend of song and mix engineers including Jimmy Douglass (Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z), Mark Needham (Fleetwood Mac, The Killers, Saint Motel), Niko Marzouca & Rob Marks (Eminem, Usher, Rebelution) and Lars Stalfors (Cold War Kids, Foster The People, Massive Attack), who helped make each song unique and fresh.

Since their formation over 15 years ago, Iration (Micah Pueschel [lead vocals/guitar], Adam Taylor [bass], Joe Dickens [drums], Cayson Peterson [keyboard/synth], Micah Brown [guitar/vocals]) has racked up more than 1 billion total streams with multiple songs featured on alternative rock radio stations across the country, including The World Famous KROQ in Los Angeles.

Following his unexpected death last month, the family of Tony Lewis, lead singer and bassist of the 1980s rock band The Outfield and successful solo artist and producer, has posthumously released his new EP, More Than I Dared. PRESS HERE to listen. Additionally, they've shared the official music video for lead single "Gonna Make You Love Me" as a tribute to Tony. PRESS HERE to watch and check out the first look with SPIN. 100% of net proceeds from the initial release of More Than I Dared will be donated to MusiCares, an organization Lewis was very fond of, as he always wanted to support his fellow musicians; PRESS HERE for more info or to donate directly in his memory.

“On behalf of my girls and myself, I’d like to thank everyone for the outpouring of love, affection and sadness for the loss of our adored Tony,” shares Tony’s wife, Carol Lewis. “Following his debut venture as a solo artist, Tony had been in the studio this year working on new music. We had written a new body of work and have decided to release a full EP collection to share with and thank his fans for their continued support of his solo career. Tony’s life was full of music; he was never happier than being on stage connecting with a crowd or meeting fans and listening to their stories. He was truly grateful for his career that started in 1983. I know his distinctive voice and musical legacy will carry on through these new songs. Please remember him with love, laughter and a sense of fun. He is, was, and always will be irreplaceable.”

Lewis, 62, had been working on the 6-song collection this year at his home studio near London, England, where he recorded and produced the songs alongside Carol, who penned the lyrics. More Than I Dared (Madison Records) was engineered/mixed by Wyatt Oates (Blackberry Smoke, Outkast) with additional engineering and drums by Tanner Hendon, and mastered by Ken Lanyon (Fozzy, Neadtobreathe). Lewis had chosen the name of the EP as he felt his solo career was more than he dared would happen. Track listing for More Than I Dared below.

Tony Lewis and the late John Spinks took the ‘80s by storm with The Outfield’s multi-platinum debut album Play Deep and their infectious pop songs, including “Your Love,” “All The Love” and “Say It Isn’t So.” “Your Love” peaked at #6 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Chart in 1986 and is still widely known today, with features in various TV spots and commercials and continuous rotation at radio stations across the country. With its unforgettable opening line “Josie’s on a vacation far away…” in Lewis’s signature voice, “Your Love” remains one of the most liked songs more than 30 years since its release, with over 1 billion total streams and 300 million YouTube views and growing.

In recent years, Lewis began writing and recording solo music and playing shows around the world. In 2018, he released his debut solo album, Out Of The Darkness (Madison Records), which took on the spirit of The Outfield while letting his own style shine through. The critically acclaimed album featured the singles “Into The Light,” “Here And Now” and “I’ll Still Be Here,” which are the featured tracks on his Unplugged – The Acoustic Sessions EP, released this past spring. Tony Lewis’s legacy and distinctive voice will live on forever through the treasure trove of catchy pop-rock songs he churned out across his decades-long career.

Late last month, celebrated roots-rock band Dispatch announced the launch of an extraordinary, multi-part project that will be released in a series of specific phases. The journey begins with the chaos of Phase 1 and continues today with the release of the first track from Phase 2. The bittersweet “As Old As I” channels the heartache of missed opportunities and lost loved ones coming into sharp focus. PRESS HERE to listen and HERE to read WBUR’s “first look” piece.

This groundbreaking series of phased drops will culminate in the band’s eighth studio album in 2021. PRESS HERE to listen to the album’s first three tracks “May We All,” “All This Time,” and “One By One.” (Phase 1).

This music is pure Dispatch, blending infectious roots rock with hints of reggae, folk and blues, and the production is suitably lean and energetic, leaving plenty of space for some of the group’s most pointed political lyrics to date. The result is a timely and essential collection of songs from a band still breaking new ground two and a half decades into its storied career, an ode to resilience and survival that manages to find hope and joy on even the darkest of days.

Evil Teen Records has released Gov’t Mule’s new live album, Live At The Angel Orensanz Center / New York City / December 28, 2008, the second release in their streaming-only series – PRESS HERE to watch the teaser and PRESS HERE to listen/stream. The brand new live album was recorded during the second of back-to-back shows at the historic Angel Orensanz Center as part of their New Year’s run in 2008. The performance features over two hours of remixed and re-mastered music from the show including an eclectic set of acoustic and electric favorites and rarities as well as covers of songs originally by U2, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, The Beatles, and more.

“For the second release of this streaming-only series we find ourselves in Manhattan, where the East Village meets the Lower East Side, for the second of two nights at the oldest Jewish Temple in New York City – what a beautiful and graceful setting,” shared Gov’t Mule front man and GRAMMY Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, producer, and revered guitarist Warren Haynes. “We made the decision to strip down to a minimal approach in order not to overpower the small, very ‘live’ room that holds around 600 people. As is the case with any venue that brings its own sonic personality, we embraced the challenge of playing to the room and choosing songs that would benefit from the ambiance -- including a lot of original songs that don’t get played very often mixed in with some of the ones that do, along with some choice covers, many of which we had never played or had only been performed a handful of times. We hope you enjoy this re-mixed version of a truly unique Mule show.”

This is the second of several digital-only live album releases Gov’t Mule will share as they bring their jam-packed performances and master musicianship directly into fans’ homes. Last month, Gov’t Mule released Live At The Beacon Theatre which was recorded on New Year’s Eve 2017 as the band rang in the new year with special guest Jackie Greene as part of their annual New York City residency, performing a selection of the band’s classics as well as covers of songs originally by Bob Dylan, Buffalo Springfield, Sam Cooke, Bob Marley, Neil Young, David Bowie, Steely Dan, and more.

All proceeds from downloads and streams will be donated to CASA of Los Angeles to provide abused and neglected children in LA County’s child welfare system with a stable adult mentor. PRESS HERE to listen. It’s Never Too Early, the debut release from the Los Angeles-based newcomer, features reimagined versions of Christmas classics, plus an ‘original Hanukkah banger’ “Single All The Way,” performed by Pollak and friends. Pollak has also released a music video for “Single All The Way” featuring Thomas London, shot and co-directed by Montana Tucker – PRESS HERE to watch.

“I just threw my phone out the window…it’s out…I can’t believe it!” Pollak exclaims. “Steve Jobs’ quote no longer haunts me from the screensaver on my computer. He said ‘Real Artists Ship’ and by that definition, I am no longer an imposter. The deep sense of pride that I’ve longed for since I first heard ‘Gravity’ by John Mayer back in 2004 is here. A year of dark times filled with confusion, frustration, divorce, pain, isolation, and the gamut…that weight, that gravity, has been lifted with the release of this album. The ship has sailed…and on top of it, I got to include some of my favorite people in the world, my closest tribeswomen and men.”

“The cherry on top is that this piece is all for charity,” adds Pollak. “100% of proceeds are going to CASA to support abused and neglected children stuck in the foster care system. Only $3,000 gives a child their own healthy and stable adult mentor FOR A YEAR – that’s crazy! If nothing else, please donate if you can – every dollar counts! As of last night, we’ve already raised enough money to support one child; let’s see how many kids in total we can help! The little ones need us most right now. They deserve someone who is always there for them when everyone else isn’t. And if you can’t donate, #streamwhileyoudream. Play the EP on repeat with the volume loud or down, when you’re doing the dishes, sleeping, working out, at the grocery store, when you’re having a snack or playing video games – whatever, whenever, wherever. You can help make a difference, just keep the music going. We only have one shot at this life and I hope you’ll join me in giving these kids a real shot of their own this holiday season. Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah!”

Pollak initially introduced the collection earlier this month with the release of “Santa Tell Me,” a stripped-down, R&B-influenced duet version of Ariana Grande’s original holiday song, featuring vocals by rising pop singer and songwriter JULIANA. and production from Hotwork (aka Chase Rossner).  “Single All The Way,” also released as a single, showcases new music artist Thomas London, otherwise known as actor, activist and filmmaker Matthew Law. Elsewhere on the EP is “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” with emerging indie artist Derek Fortney and “The Christmas Song” featuring John Snow (actor, musician, producer) on upright bass with additional orchestration and production from Maestro Harrell. It’s Never Too Early closes with an ensemble performance of “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” featuring Pollak, JULIANA., London, Rossner and Fortney along with film composer Ethan Algazi, who produced the track, and Izzy’s sister Sami Pollak (vegan chef, author, podcast host, dancer). Track listing for It’s Never Too Early below.

Growing up with a blind pianist as a grandfather, music has always been in Izzy Pollak’s DNA. Following endless requests from his followers on TikTok to release music, the California native, who works full-time in the tech sphere as an avatar entrepreneur, decided to drop his freshman release as a charity Christmas album and help kids in foster care. Even though he’s Jewish, Christmas music has always played a huge part in his life as his stepmom, coincidently named Joy, brought the holiday into his house at a young age. For Pollak, Christmas was always synonymous with all the good things the holiday brings: the music, vibes, lights, ringing bells, friends, and family. This project is a true labor of love, hoping to bring that joy, happiness and holiday cheer to all, especially the kids in the foster care system who need it more than ever this year during COVID.

CASA of Los Angeles provides a consistent and healthy adult mentor to abused and neglected kids stuck in the foster care system in Los Angeles County. For more info on the non-profit organization or to donate directly, visit www.CASALA.org.

We are also deeply honored to announce that the concert will begin with a personal video message from His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

There are few events that stand the test of time, and for more than three decades this annual event has been a standout. For over 33 years, this consistently sold-out concert has assembled some of the most legendary and exciting names in music and art, dazzling concertgoers with its unique mix of surprises and mesmerizing performances.

Tickets for this year’s special virtual concert are on sale now ($25-$250). Also available now are unique sponsor level cyber-tables starting at $5,000. To purchase and for more information on packages, please PRESS HERE.

All proceeds support the work of Tibet House US, a non-profit educational institution and cultural embassy founded in 1987 at the request of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to ensure the survival of the unique Tibetan civilization.

Throughout its rich history, the one-of-a-kind Tibet House US Benefit Concert has had hundreds of world-class artists participate including Alabama Shakes, Patti Smith, Carly Simon, David Bowie, Stephen Colbert, Lou Reed, Sharon Jones, FKA twigs, The Roots, Jim James, The Flaming Lips, Vampire Weekend, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Blood Orange, Sigur Ros, R.E.M, Emmylou Harris, Jon Batiste, Nathaniel Rateliff, Jason Isbell and many, many more. The event has garnered praise from many, including New York Times, Rolling Stone, Hollywood Reporter, Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, Associated Press, Billboard, Vogue and more.

“Stay out of politics” is something that a lot of people comment on the internet these days. No one wants their beloved musicians, athletes, actors, etc. to say anything political. But how can we not write honestly about the world around us? “Citizen” is a song aimed at shutting down this notion of keeping quiet.

I met Gary Clark Jr. at BottleRock in Napa, and he came to mind again almost two years later when we wanted to add something to the song to give it a finishing touch. His bold and free style of playing seemed to speak to the core idea of the song.

I’m inspired by the people protesting in the streets, the POC leading the charge to dismantle white supremacy, and the other voices speaking out about the myriad of issues we are faced with in 2021. “Citizen” was written shortly after his election and is released to the world as a farewell to perhaps the worst and most divisive president in US history.

Tibet House US is excited to announce that The Flaming Lips, Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Jesse Paris Smith, Marc Anthony Thompson of Chocolate Genius, Inc. with Tessa Thompson and Saori Tsukada will join the eclectic line-up for the 34th Annual Tibet House US Virtual Benefit Concert. This year’s special virtual edition of one of the longest-running and most renowned live cultural events in New York City will combine live and pre-recorded segments streaming via Mandolin, the premiere concert livestream platform for artists, venues, and fans.

Adam Ezra Group has released their newest single, “All Right Today,” an effervescent, feel-good track which is an ode to putting one foot in front of the other, to living in the moment, and leaning on one another to get through our hardest times. PRESS HERE to listen/stream. “All Right Today” is Adam Ezra Group’s first release as part of an ambitious new recording series dubbed The Album Project. The endeavor will see the band releasing 18 new singles over the next few years, trading in the traditional LP format for a steady flow of fresh material designed to keep their ever-expanding community active and engaged even beyond the pandemic.

“I wrote that song years before COVID,” says Adam, “but that line, ‘We will be all right today,’ kept coming back to me through this whole experience. It felt like a mantra I continue to lean on right now and the right way to kick this whole thing off.”

“All Right Today” shares a message and mantra that Adam resonates with personally. Stuck at home with a calendar full of cancelled tour dates at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and no one to perform for, Adam turned to live-streaming with his first digital show on March 13, 2020. Initially created as a way to connect with people to feel less lost and scared during difficult times, he returned every single night for what he and his fans would eventually come to call The Gathering Series.

Driven by a belief that small grassroots communities have the power to impact the world, Adam – who is approaching his 365th consecutive Gathering – has now reached a cumulative audience of well over 12 million viewers worldwide, a staggering feat that stands as a testament not only to Ezra’s artistic endurance, but also his ability to provide an accepting and supportive space for newcomers to join his tight-knit community of fans. Through his own harrowing battle with COVID, a move to the Mojave Desert, a socially distanced summer tour, and even his wedding day, Adam never missed a performance, broadcasting without fail from wherever he found himself each night at 7pm Eastern.

PRESS HERE to check out Adam Ezra Group’s Facebook page and tune into their daily livestream featuring newly written material and never performed songs from the band’s extensive back catalog.

Working outside the confines of the traditional music industry, Adam and his bandmates – Corinna Smith (fiddle), Alex Martin (drums), Poche Ponce (bass) - built a community of fans through sheer grit and determination, regularly performing hundreds of shows a year for the past two decades without any major label or mainstream radio support. Fusing folk intimacy and rock energy with soul power and pop charm, the band first emerged from Boston in the early 2000s and quickly garnered widespread acclaim for their bold, insightful songwriting and interactive, euphoric performances. From hole in the wall bars and house concerts to sold-out headline shows and dates with the likes of Little Big Town, The Wallflowers, Gavin DeGraw, Train, and The Wailers, Adam and his bandmates treated every single gig like their last, attracting a die-hard following that believed not just in the music, but in their commitment to activism and social change, as well.

Stay tuned for more new music and announcements from the Adam Ezra Group in the coming weeks!

Rising indie rock artist Michigander, the sonic alter ego of Michigan native Jason Singer, has released his new single “OK” and revealed the details for his third EP, Everything Will Be OK Eventually, due out March 19th via C3 Records. Built around a melodic piano loop, head-nodding bass line, steady claps, and flashes of lead guitar, “OK” culminates on a chantable hook as Singer assures, “It’s okay to be lonely. It’s okay to be alone sometimes.” PRESS HERE to download/stream “OK” and PRESS HERE to watch the lyric video. Everything Will Be OK Eventually is available for pre-order now at all DSPs and each pre-order will include an instant download of “OK” and current radio single “Let Down” – PRESS HERE.

“I started off 2020 in the studio working on new songs, so excited for everything I had planned for the year,” shares Singer. “A week after playing an event for Bernie Sanders in early March, everything shut down. Everything was put on pause. At first, I wasn’t very concerned, but as the weeks, then months, went on, all my plans started to fall apart. It was very hard to not be discouraged every day. But I just kept telling myself (and my friends) that ‘everything will be ok eventually’. That phrase kept me going then and still does now. Working on these songs for the entire year has been the highlight of a very dark time for me. I’ve never been prouder of something that I’ve made and I am extremely excited (and impatient) to share this new collection of songs that mean so much to me. Things still might not be great right now, but everything will be ok eventually.”

Of the new single, he adds, “Too often, whenever I was alone or feeling lonely, I would think it was a negative thing. But during last year, when there was an excessive amount of time on my own, I realized that being alone sometimes is a totally normal thing. Sometimes, it’s easier to think clearer when you’re on your own. I think a lot of people feel like something is missing if they aren’t constantly surrounded by people. I’m just trying to normalize the alone time.”

Michigander’s sweeping anthem “Let Down” has been rising up the Triple A radio charts since its release last fall, currently sitting at #10, and has been added into rotation at SiriusXM’s Alt Nation and The Spectrum in addition to feature plays at stations including Lightning 100, ACL Radio and The Current. “Let Down,” which has amassed nearly a million streams, has also received immense support and playlisting from Apple and Spotify. PRESS HERE to listen to “Let Down” on DSPs and to watch the official music video.

Written and produced by Singer, with longtime collaborator and co-producer Jake Rye, Everything Will Be OK Eventually soundtracks chasing a dream until it’s real, while offering hope and optimism for the future. Taking advantage of the extra time 2020 afforded everyone, Singer dove deeper into the music and ideas he originally kiked around at the end of 2019, expanding the sonic palette and opening up the songs. Nothing was off limits during his recording sessions with Rye for the forthcoming 6-song collection – whether it be strings, an orchestra of guitars, or more programming and samples. Michigander’s voice glides over a bed of pianos and synths on “Headlights,” Singer’s first co-write with guitarist Jake LeMond. Closing track “Together” captures the anxiety at the dawn of the global pandemic with piano and horn swells. Track listing for Everything Will Be OK Eventually below.

Michigander emanates a magnetic Midwest spirit, delivering uplifting anthems, raised even higher by six-string fireworks, empowering lyrics, and understated arena ambition. First brought to life in 2014 when the singer, songwriter, producer and guitarist was moving across his home state to Kalamazoo, Michigander has garnered the acclaim of NPR, Paste, SPIN, American Songwriter and many more, in addition to over 12 million streams globally. In 2016, his independent debut single “Nineties” achieved viral success, claiming real estate on multiple major Spotify playlists and cracking 1 million streams on the platform. Michigander’s two previous EPs, Midland [2018] and Where Do We Go From Here [2019], have become fan favorites. The latter’s standout single “Misery” eclipsed 6 million streams and earned Michigander his first Triple A radio hit. In September 2020, Michigander’s new era officially began with the release of “Let Down” and the folk-tinged companion track “48.” Along the way, Singer and his band have performed alongside Mt Joy, Hippo Campus, Silversun Pickups and Tokyo Police Club and graced the stages of festivals with The National, Foster The People, Moon Taxi and alt-j. For the now Detroit-based multi-talent, Everything Will Be OK Eventually marks the next chapter in his growing career.

Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, host of Palmyra's Trash-Pop Shindig in Little Steven's Underground Garage on SiriusXM, and masterful entertainer Palmyra Delran has released two new self-produced singles with her band Palmyra Delran & The Doppel Gang entitled "Lucky in Love," and a cover of Tuff Darts' "Who's Been Sleeping Here" via Wicked Cool Records - PRESS HERE to listen.

The new tracks, recorded, engineered, and mixed by Geoff Sanoff, (Little Steven, Darlene Love, Fountains of Wayne, and Jesse Malin), are available for purchase on a red transparent wax vinyl - PRESS HERE to order. The first single, "Lucky in Love," which will be featured as The Coolest Song In The World on Little Steven's Underground Garage's SiriusXM channel next week, was written by Delran's former Friggs bandmate Mitzi Dodge towards the end of the band's life but was only recorded as a demo. Never fully getting the attention it deserved, Delran decided to revive the track and give it a proper release. "I think the Doppel Gang fellas did a great job bringing their style to the song, yet still harkening back to the original Friggs vibe," says Delran. The flip side of the record features the cover of Tuff Darts' "Who's Been Sleeping Here," a song that reminds Delran of when she was a kid, just starting to collect records and go to record swaps.

A pioneer in the power pop scene, Delran has been forging her own path as a female force in the industry, creating music on her own terms and building a loyal fan base since the beginning of her career. Her impressive repertoire includes playing with Pink Slip Daddy and co-founding nineties girl group The Friggs, who opened shows for legends like Ramones and Cheap Trick, while earning sync placements in evergreen films like Superbad and Jawbreaker. With her talent for combining catchy instrumentals with clever lyrics, Delran has released multiple albums full of punchy trash-pop songs including "Come Spy With Me" featuring Debbie Harry, Little Steven and John Carlucci (Fuzztones), "Happy Birthday Middle Child," featuring Debbie Harry, and "You're My Brian Jones."

When she's not writing, recording, or touring, Delran brings the rock and soul to the people as host of Palmyra's Trash-Pop Shindig in Little Steven's Underground Garage on SiriusXM Channel 21, which airsWednesdays and Thursdays from 8 p.m. to midnight, Saturdays from 4 a.m. to 8 a.m., and Sundays from 8 a.m. to noon. Her show delivers a rebellious range of sweet surf sounds, rambunctious rock n' roll and everything in between - the sort of eclectic lineup listeners have come to expect from Delran, who Little Steven calls "the Lucille Ball of rock n' roll."

Last night, the 34th Annual Tibet House US Benefit Concert went virtual for the first time ever, offering viewers from around the world the unique opportunity to experience the warmth, sense of community, amazing music and extraordinary spoken word performances the evening has provided for so many years pre-pandemic at Carnegie Hall. Celebrating the concert’s illustrious history, this year’s eclectic lineup included Eddie Vedder, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, Annie Lennox, Cage The Elephant, Phoebe Bridgers, Flaming Lips, Brittany Howard, Valerie June, Angélique Kidjo, Black Pumas, Laurie Anderson, Chocolate Genius, Inc., Tessa Thompson, Tenzin Choegyal, Jesse Paris Smith, Saori Tsukada, Rubin Kodheli and the Drepung Gomang Monks curated by artistic director Philip Glass. The concert streamed via Mandolin, the premiere concert livestream platform for artists, venues, and fans.

The evening had countless standout moments as the performers celebrated the Year of the Iron Ox. Iggy Pop kicked off the night with a haunting spoken-word performance of “Do Not Go Gentle that Good Night” by Dylan Thomas before Laurie Anderson and Rubin Kodheli, along with Jesse Paris Smith and Tenzin Choegyal, performed a song from their Grammy-nominated album Songs from the Bardo. Accompanied by Philip Glass, Jackson Browne and the Scorchio Quartet, Phoebe Bridgers returned for the second year in a row to perform her 2021 Grammy-nominated single “Kyoto,” and a moving rendition of “Moon Song” with Rob Moose on strings. Eddie Vedder performed “Can’t Keep” with only a ukulele and Annie Lennox gave viewers an uncommonly intimate performance at her piano singing some of her most beloved songs including “Cold” and the Eurythmics’ “You Have Placed a Chill In My Heart.”

Black Pumas got the virtual crowd on their feet with their soulful single “Colors” (nominated for Record of the Year at this year’s Grammys), and Cage The Elephant performed their runaway hit “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked.” Brittany Howard made her return to the Tibet House “stage” with her 2021 Grammy-nominated single “Stay High,” and Wayne Coyne and The Flaming Lips took viewers on a wild ride inside the first-of-its-kind bubble concert with the world premiere footage of “Flowers of Neptune” and “All We Have Is Now.” Americana singer-songwriter Valerie June put her own spin on Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” while Angélique Kidjo showed off her powerhouse vocals with an afrobeat rendition of the Talking Heads’ “Once In A Lifetime.” It was family affair as Patti Smith joined her daughter Jesse Paris Smith on “Wing,” and Marc Anthony Thompson of Chocolate Genius, Inc. joined his daughter Tessa Thompson for three moving spoken word performance videos.

The night concluded with a special message of gratitude from His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and a beautiful performance of “Be The Sky” by Philip Glass, Tenzin Choegyal and Saori Tsukado. Longtime Tibet House Benefit alumnus Patti Smith closed the show with her famed anthem “People Have the Power,” (courtesy of Pathway to Paris) a longtime tradition which perfectly captured the empowering spirit of the evening. Another highlight of the night included a surprise piece of archival footage featuring Philip Glass and Allen Ginsberg performing “Wichita Vortex.”

All proceeds from the concert will support the work of Tibet House US, a non-profit educational institution and cultural embassy founded in 1987 at the request of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to ensure the survival of the unique Tibetan civilization. Throughout its rich history, the one-of-a-kind Tibet House US Benefit Concert has had hundreds of world-class artists participate including Alabama Shakes, Carly Simon, David Bowie, Stephen Colbert, Lou Reed, Sharon Jones, FKA twigs, The Roots, Jim James, Vampire Weekend, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Blood Orange, Sigur Ros, R.E.M, Emmylou Harris, Jon Batiste, Nathaniel Rateliff, Jason Isbell and many, many more. The event has garnered praise from many, including New York Times, Rolling Stone, Hollywood Reporter, Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, Associated Press, Billboard and Vogue.

After teasing fans last fall with his first-ever solo music, platinum-selling singer, songwriter, musician and producer David Shaw has returned with his new singles “Heavy Soul” and “Shivers,” the latest offerings from his forthcoming studio album due out later this year - PRESS HERE to download/stream both tracks. “Heavy Soul” elevates Shaw’s signature sound, fusing classic guitar licks with an infectious riff as he sings about fighting for what you feel is right regardless of the consequences. Coupled with the stirring track is “Shivers,” which opens with tender piano reminiscent of an old music box before blooming into a warm melody. The song serves as a reminder that love can save us from the chaos around us. The new tracks follow Shaw’s rollicking lead single “Shaken,” an anthem about embracing your fears and insecurities and rising about them that quickly climbed Triple A Radio, and soaring statement “Promised Land,” which addresses systemic injustice and inequality. With his new music, The Revivalists front man and enigmatic talent follows the direction of his own internal compass as a solo artist, riling up his raw rock ‘n’ roll impulses as he opens up like never before as a lyricist, poet, and storyteller.

“I’m excited to finally get more of my solo music out into the universe,” Shaw shares. “This idea of ‘Heavy Soul’ was kicking around in my head for a while. I feel like that’s the kind of music I make. It’s soulful, but in a rock and roll way. The riff was the first thing I played when I sat down, and I just had to make a song out of that. It grows from this haunting thing into something totally different by the end.”

Of the vulnerability in “Shivers,” he adds, “It’s about as real as you can get with this tune. It’s magical, sweet, and tender and paints this picture that even with all the chaos that may surround us, we are immune to it all because of the love that we share. It’s funny because it speaks to a similar theme as The Revivalists’ ‘Wish I Knew You.’ That same sentiment about stealing back time crept back into ‘Shivers’ in a different way. I really think my girlfriend is my soulmate, and we were maybe even together in another life. We’re currently stealing back that time.”

Today, February 25th, Shaw will appear on NPR’s World Café performing tracks from his solo venture including “Heavy Soul” and “Shaken” – PRESS HERE to tune in to WXPN at 2pm ET/11am PT. The performance will also be available for on-demand streaming on WorldCafe.NPR.org

The journey of David’s solo artistry and forthcoming 2021 studio album (Yokoko Records/C3 Records) began as he placed a renewed focus on self-care and personal growth, using music as medicine and noticing something within himself that, as he says, he “needed to water” as he began to create a new personal equilibrium in his life. Listening solely to his own creative impulses, David constructed a studio in his backyard where the songs took shape, and he recorded them at The Parlor Recording Studio in his home base of New Orleans.

Shaw initially planted the seeds for his new solo songs as he toured behind The Revivalists’ 2018 acclaimed album Take Good Care, playing to sold-out venues and their biggest festival crowds to date (including opening for The Rolling Stones). In addition to their platinum breakout single “Wish I Knew You” and four studio albums, the chart-topping band has racked up 525 million global streams, numerous Alternative and Triple A chart hits including several #1s, and major media recognition and TV appearances including Austin City Limits, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and TODAY. Shaw also spearheaded the creation of The Revivalists’ Rev Causes, the band’s philanthropic umbrella fund which supports the essential work of organizations handpicked by the band dedicated to reviving and investing in our communities, health, and environment. These organizations include Center for Disaster Philanthropy, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Songs for Kids Foundation, Upturn Arts, Everytown for Gun Safety, and more. As a proud Ohio native, David also created, produces, and hosts the Big River Get Down in Hamilton, OH, - an annual two-night concert event that gives back to the ongoing renaissance of his hometown, donating all proceeds to the City of Hamilton’s 4th of July fireworks and RiversEdge Concert Series.

More news from David Shaw to be announced in the coming weeks!

Celebrated roots rock band Dispatch have announced the release of their anticipated 8th studio album Break Our Fall out May 28th on Bomber Records/AWAL Recordings. Marking the band’s eighth studio release, the songs on this record speak not only to Chadwick Stokes’ and Brad Corrigan’s personal evolution, but to human nature itself, charting a course from denial and resistance to growth and acceptance through deep introspection and empathetic character studies. For Stokes and Corrigan, the only constant these past few years has been change – marriage, birth, death, departure – add to that an exceedingly tense political climate, long-overdue reckonings on racial justice/gender equality and a runaway global pandemic and you’ve got Break Our Fall, an album that enriches Dispatch’s distinguished legacy, on which the depth and breadth of the band’s stunning songwriting is displayed in full force. PRESS HERE to listen to their new single “Born On Earth,” a song about making peace with what lies beyond our control. Break Our Fall is available for pre-order now – PRESS HERE. Fans who preorder the album before Friday, May 14th at 5pm ET will gain automatic entry into the “Break Our Fall Sessions” where they will enjoy a behind the scenes conversation about the making of the album, get a chance to engage with the Chad & Brad directly, and be the first fans to hear some of the new songs played live. Sessions will begin June 1st and additional details will follow to all who preorder the album.

The band has been teasing details of the album’s launch in recent months, having released six singles including fan favorite “May We All,” which is currently climbing at AAA Radio. The music on Break Our Fall is pure Dispatch – blending infectious roots rock with hints of reggae, folk, and blues, and the production is similarly lean and energetic, leaving plenty of space for some of the group’s most pointed, political lyrics to date. The result is a timely and essential album from a band still breaking new ground two-and-a-half decades into its storied career, an ode to resilience and survival that manages to find hope and joy on even the darkest of days.

The album finds Stokes and Corrigan more explicit and outspoken than ever, working with frequent collaborators Mike Sawitzke (Eels) and John Dragonetti (The Submarines) to craft a wide-ranging collection of cathartic songs. The album works its way through a litany of modern fears and frustration on the driving “May We All” and laments the direction of the country in no uncertain terms on the simmering “All This Time” (featuring soulful vocal contributions from The White Buffalo). Reality sets in with the heartache of missed opportunities and lost loved ones coming into sharp focus on songs like the bittersweet “As Old As I” and epic “Connie Hawkins,” which tips its cap to everything from Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen to The Cars and Violent Femmes. By the time fans push play on the soaring title track, a change is in the air, and grief and helplessness begin to give way to hope and determination. The pendulum swings back towards optimism with the stream of consciousness “Elevator Operator” and waltzing “Born On Earth” making peace with what lies beyond our control and the dreamy “Stoned Enough” finds transcendence in human connection and ecstatic closer “Pour Into You” recognizes that, despite all our brokenness, love remains, and always will. Break Our Fall was mastered by Emily Lazar who made Grammy history this year when she became the first mastering engineer to land three album of the year nominations in the same year and has worked with everyone from Beck to David Bowie to Dolly Parton.

The High Plains Drifters have released the lyric visualizer for "Since You've Been Gone" off their forthcoming second album about love and loss. PRESS HERE to watch and PRESS HERE to download/stream. Directed by Lars Jørgen Sundnes Skaland, the visual depicts the story of a spaceman grasping for comfort as the memory of his love recedes into the vastness of outer (and inner) space. The track, which tiptoes between neon synths, airy bass, and a glitchy beat, was inspired by a particularly painful breakup when frontman Larry Studnicky was still young enough to believe in the theory of the ‘one and only’. His girl dumped him, broke his heart, and forever disabused him of that notion, but the pain inspired “Since You’ve Been Gone," which captures the feeling of utter disbelief after your significant other leaves.

"'Since You've Been Gone' was written years ago from a place of great pain. I was young, naive, and believed I had found my “one and only”. I was over the moon for her, so high that I could’ve been orbiting the sun, but she crashed me to earth in a fireball that burned my heart to a crisp. Being dumped by her triggered this song’s lyrics and melody," shared Studnicky. "As I wrote the lyrics, I sought to capture that sense of devastation that comes from a huge heartbreak. There would be no brave face on this song’s narrator — he feels nothing but a crushing sense of loss and longing. And he’s too embarrassed to admit to anyone that she’s gone."

The High Plains Drifters were sired after a night of too much booze and too little food at a Tex-Mex spot in the Manhattan neighborhood of Chelsea. Fast forward a few years and they boast one fan-favorite album—2019’s High Plains Drifters - and the critical acclaim of press and radio.

The group, led by frontman Larry Studnicky [lead vocals, lyricist], includes John Macom [rhythm/electric guitars, lead/backup vocals], Mike DoCampo [rhythm/electric guitars, backup vocals], Kyle Cassel [drums, backup vocals], Charles Czarnecki [keys, accordion, backup vocals], and Dave Richards [bass, backup vocals]. Their new release ups the ante with a bevy of undeniably catchy anthems about love and loss that fall somewhere between The Eagles and New Order, with more surprises to come.

Preceding the album, they closed out 2020 with the hilarious and hyper-charged renegade Christmas carol “Santa! Bring My Girlfriend Back!” In addition to widespread support from Amazon and Spotify, Harper’s Bazaar touted it among “16 Funny Christmas Songs That Will Add Some Cheer to This Dreadful Year” and Spotify’s Listrionics podcast heralded the tune as “one of the five best Xmas and holiday songs that were released” in 2020.

In the end, The High Plains Drifters roll through your speakers with one purpose. “When one of our songs does its job, you’ll relate,” Studnicky adds. “They’re often about relationships, love lost, and love found. Within three-to-four minutes, I’m telling a mini-narrative that is an actual story with some drama to it. I hope you go, ‘Yeah, that’s happened to me’.”

Celebrated roots rock band Dispatch have released another track from their highly anticipated 8th studio album, Break Our Fall (out May 28th on Bomber Records/AWAL Recordings). PRESS HERE to listen to “Pour Into You,” a song with a message that despite all our brokenness, love remains, and always will.

Marking the band’s eighth studio release, the songs on Break Our Fall speak not only to Chadwick Stokes’ and Brad Corrigan’s personal evolution, but to human nature itself, charting a course from denial and resistance to growth and acceptance through deep introspection and empathetic character studies. For Stokes and Corrigan, the only constant these past few years has been change: marriage, birth, death, departure. Add to that an exceedingly tense political climate, long-overdue reckonings on racial justice/gender equality, and a runaway global pandemic, and you’ve got Break Our Fall, an album that enriches Dispatch’s distinguished legacy, on which the depth and breadth of the band’s stunning songwriting is displayed in full force. Break Our Fall is available for pre-order now – PRESS HERE. Fans who preorder the album before Friday, May 14th at 5pm ET will gain automatic entry into the “Break Our Fall Sessions” where they will enjoy a behind the scenes conversation about the making of the album, get a chance to engage with Chad & Brad directly, and be the first fans to hear some of the new songs played live. Sessions will begin June 1st and additional details will follow to all who preorder the album.

The band has been teasing details of the album’s launch in recent months, having released seven singles including fan-favorite “Born On Earth,” and the music on Break Our Fall is pure Dispatch – blending infectious roots rock with hints of reggae, folk, and blues, and the production is similarly lean and energetic, leaving plenty of space for some of the group’s most pointed, political lyrics to date. Working with frequent collaborators Mike Sawitzke (Eels) and John Dragonetti (The Submarines) to craft a wide-ranging collection of cathartic songs, the result is a timely and essential album from a band still breaking new ground two-and-a-half decades into its storied career, an ode to resilience and survival that manages to find hope and joy on even the darkest of days.

Platinum-selling singer, songwriter, musician, and producer David Shaw has released his new single “Got Me Feeling Good” and officially revealed the details for his debut self-titled solo album, due out Friday, May 7th via his own imprint Yokoko Records in partnership with C3 Records. PRESS HERE to check out the announcement and exclusive interview with Billboard. Staying true to his rock roots, the latest offering from Shaw’s album “Got Me Feeling Good” is an uplifting anthem about finding joy and passion during difficult times as buoyant, layered harmonies swirl over a flurry of guitar-plucking and contagious drum beats. PRESS HERE to download/stream.

David Shaw is available now to pre-order on CD and vinyl at David’s webstore; album and merch bundles are also available – PRESS HERE.

“On many levels it feels like a massive weight has been lifted from my shoulders and a great metamorphosis has taken place,” Shaw shares about his debut solo album. “The whole process was a bit like wandering around in a forest during those special twilight hours with the sense that something good is just beyond the horizon. I’m just elated that the ride to get there was just as satisfying as the place itself. I’m excited for all of my beloved fans to get a further glimpse into who I am as an artist but most importantly who I am as a person. They’ve always been a part of me and I want them to know that this album is a part of them too.”

On “Got Me Feeling Good,” he adds, “It’s a feel-good party tune, plain and simple. It’s such a heavy time in our world and I think people don’t always have the bandwidth right now for heavy. I know I don’t. Put something on that makes me feel good. That’s what I want, and that’s what I was going for with this song.”

Shaw has also announced a collection of NFT offerings via Fanaply to coincide with the album’s release. Among the limited-edition items are the album cover art designed by Mike Tallman of Add Noise Studios as well as three tiers (standard, silver, gold) of custom tarot card art for each song on the album by artist Priscilla Frank. All items were animated by Andrew Carey and initial purchase of each token will include a physical copy of the David Shaw album on vinyl. Tokens are available now – PRESS HERE to claim.

Shaw’s forthcoming 12-track LP, produced by Jack Splash (4-time Grammy award-winning producer of Kendrick Lamar, Alicia Keys, Solange, Valerie June, St Paul and The Broken Bones), showcases his true self, exemplifying his hard-working and courageous nature as he placed a renewed focus on self-care and personal growth. Using music as medicine and noticing something within himself that, as he says, he “needed to water,” Shaw began to create a new personal equilibrium in his life. Listening solely to his own creative impulses, Shaw constructed a studio in his backyard where the songs took shape, and he recorded them at The Parlor Recording Studio in his home base of New Orleans. Accompanying Shaw on his solo release is an ensemble of talented musicians and friends including Neal Francis [vocals/guitar], PJ Howard [drums], Mike Starr [bass], and Chris Gelbuda [guitar].

“Got Me Feeling Good” marks the fifth offering Shaw has released off his self-titled album, following his recent singles “Heavy Soul” and “Shivers” and the previously released tracks “Shaken” and “Promised Land,” which have collectively been streamed over half a million times. With his new music, The Revivalists front man and enigmatic talent follows the direction of his own internal compass as a solo artist, riling up his raw rock ‘n’ roll impulses as he opens up like never before as a lyricist, poet, and storyteller. Fusing classic guitar licks with an infectious riff, the stirring “Heavy Soul” is about fighting for what you feel is right, while piano ballad “Shivers” is a tender reminder that love can save us from the chaos around us. Rollicking lead single “Shaken” is an anthem about embracing your fears and insecurities and rising above them, that quickly climbed Triple A Radio, and soaring statement “Promised Land” addresses systemic injustice and inequality. Full track listing for David Shaw below.

PRESS HERE to watch Shaw’s recent 4-song performance on NPR’s World Café.

Shaw initially planted the seeds for his new solo songs as he toured behind The Revivalists’ 2018 acclaimed album Take Good Care, playing to sold-out venues and their biggest festival crowds to date (including opening for The Rolling Stones). In addition to their platinum breakout single “Wish I Knew You” and four studio albums, the chart-topping band has racked up 525 million global streams, numerous Alternative and Triple A chart hits including several #1s, and major media recognition and TV appearances including Austin City Limits, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and TODAY. Shaw also spearheaded the creation of The Revivalists’ Rev Causes, the band’s philanthropic umbrella fund which supports the essential work of organizations handpicked by the band dedicated to reviving and investing in our communities, health, and environment. These organizations include Center for Disaster Philanthropy, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Songs for Kids Foundation, Upturn Arts, Everytown for Gun Safety, and more. As a proud Ohio native, David also created, produces, and hosts the Big River Get Down in Hamilton, OH, - an annual two-night concert event that gives back to the ongoing renaissance of his hometown, donating all proceeds to the City of Hamilton’s 4th of July fireworks and RiversEdge Concert Series.

Gov’t Mule has released a new live album, Live At The Cotton Club / Atlanta / February 20, 1997, the third release in their streaming-only series via Evil Teen Records – PRESS HERE to listen and PRESS HERE to watch the teaser video. The brand-new live release features Gov’t Mule’s original line-up and was recorded in Georgia where the band was formed by front man Warren Haynes and bassist Allen Woody, as a side project of The Allman Brothers Band when they were off tour, and drummer Matt Abts. The fun side project filled the void of experimental rock power acts and have since gone on to showcase their virtuosity, intelligence, and breadth over the course of their decades-long career as one of the most timeless and active bands in the world. Live At The Cotton Club features a mix of songs from Gov’t Mule’s 1997 self-titled debut album and 1998 sophomore album, Dose, as well as covers of songs originally by Sonny Boy Williamson, Memphis Slim, Tom Waits, and more.

“I seem to remember it being a hot sweaty night even though it was February, and you can feel it in the recordings. The band was definitely in experimental mode -- going down some new roads and taking a lot of chances,” shares Haynes. “It’s great hearing this show again after all this time -- especially re-mixed and re-mastered. The music sounds as fresh as it felt when we played it.”

Live At The Cotton Club marks the third of several digital-only live album releases – and the first featuring the original trio line-up of Haynes, Abts, and Woody – Gov’t Mule is sharing as they bring their jam-packed performances and master musicianship directly into fans’ homes. In recent months, Gov’t Mule delivered Live At The Angel Orensanz Center (PRESS HERE to listen/stream), which was recorded during the second of back-to-back shows as part of their New Year’s run in 2008 and features over two hours of remixed and re-mastered music from the show including an eclectic set of acoustic and electric favorites and rarities. Additionally, the band issued Live At The Beacon Theatre, recorded on New Year’s Eve 2017 when the band rang in the new year with special guest Jackie Greene as part of their annual New York City residency, performing a selection of the band’s classics as well as an array of covers. (PRESS HERE to listen/stream). Please visit www.mule.net for more information.

In other news, Gov’t Mule will return to the stage this spring for two sold out shows on April 30th and May 1st at Westville Music Bowl in New Haven, CT, marking the band’s first performances in the U.S. since their annual New Year’s Eve run in 2019 which featured two back-to-back nights at The Beacon Theatre in New York City.

Celebrated reggae/rock band Rebelution have surprised fans with the release of their first new single in almost three years. PRESS HERE to listen to the mesmerizing “Satisfied,” a song that finds fulfillment in balancing joy and introspection in equal measure and appreciating the little things; and PRESS HERE to read American Songwriter’s “first listen.”

“The song is all about being satisfied with where we are,” said frontman Eric Rachmany. “As much as Rebelution has grown, it still feels like a tight-knit family between us and the fans. No matter your profession there's always someone in your ear telling you to go bigger and sometimes you forget to enjoy the moment. This song is recognizing and praising a minimalist attitude and mindset moving forward.”

Founded in Isla Vista, CA, the members of Rebelution (Eric Rachmany, Rory Carey, Wesley Finley and Marley D. Williams), have followed their instincts to remarkable success since the release of their breakout 2007 debut, Courage To Grow. In 2009, the band topped the Billboard Reggae Chart for the first of what would be five consecutive #1 records; in 2014, they boasted the highest-selling reggae release of the year; and in 2017, they garnered a GRAMMY nomination for Best Reggae Album. Relix hailed the group as “a leading voice in their scene,” while Billboard raved that the band “weaves hypnotic threads of alt-rock and pop, retro-funk, blues, dub, [and] even traditional Middle Eastern strains into their bubbling, one-drop reggae groove.” Rebelution’s transcendent live performances, meanwhile, have taken on legendary status, earning the group sell-out headline shows everywhere from Red Rocks to The Greek Theatre along with festival slots at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, ACL, Glastonbury and even their own festival in Jamaica. By the time the COVID-19 pandemic brought things to a screeching halt, the band had been grinding it out on the road for more than a decade-and-a-half.

Over the course of the past year, the band has remained engaged with their loyal fanbase of Rebelutionaries, and just last week they raised over $20,000 to benefit Last Prisoner Project with a one-night-only virtual event, Reflections: Acoustic Sessions and Untold Stories. For more information on how to get involved, please visit www.lastprisonerproject.org and stay tuned for more updates and information from the band coming very soon!

New York City female-fronted rock band The Silk War has released their new single “Barcelona” and revealed the track listing for their independent debut full-length album, Come Evening, out May 14th. PRESS HERE to listen. Hinging on a swinging piano offset by strings and sweeping guitar, “Barcelona” is about dating someone who loves to relive their past, making it impossible to build a future with them, with lead vocalist Alexandra Blair pleading, “Their bones, they sing your songs; don’t replace all you’ve done wrong. Next time take me along, just me and my dream of you.” To capture the spirit of old-world Barcelona, the emerging quintet filmed the song’s official music video at The Park Church Co-op in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, shot mostly on 16mm film. PRESS HERE to watch the video for “Barcelona,” directed by Hector Perez.

“Our song ‘Barcelona’ treads heavily down two different paths,” explains The Silk War. “The music reflects the longing and love for a city filled with cathedrals, starting the song off with a recording of kids laughing heard outside of a window in Barcelona. The lyrics, however, wax and wane over the longing of loving someone who lives without you by constantly living in their past, in their ‘Barcelona.’ We see this as killing the present, ending your life to only end up as a dream to those around you. This is portrayed in the video by both walking into the ocean (vis-à-vis Virginia Woolf) and a surrounding vigil of candles with no audience. You cannot help but mourn the relationship that you are in if the other person cannot be present to everything that is right in front of them.”

“Barcelona” follows The Silk War’s single “Blue Hour,” released earlier this month. “Blue Hour,” named for the 10-minute twilight between night and day, is about staying up all night, often on a bender, and immersing in debauchery, whether alone or around others. To see the blue hour is to live in waiting; waiting for someone to make your life better because you don’t know how. PRESS HERE to listen and watch the music video.

The Silk War soundtracks nighttime with their patented post-wave sound, threading together transmissions of nocturnal alternative, gothic electro, punk energy, and cinematic production. The electrifying five-piece band — Alexandra Blair [singer, lyricist], James Mullen [guitar, songwriter, producer], Angelo Miliano [keyboards], Josh O’Guinn [bass], and Andrew Mega [drums] — dive into the dark on Come Evening. The thought-provoking 11-track collection - produced, engineered, and mixed by James – is inspired by the band’s love for the arts and New York that touches upon deep topics ranging from bullying and self-worth to gun control and empowerment and so much more. The band is amplifying its voice on Come Evening, creating music for the disaffected, those who feel different or alienated, with a message of hope. Full track listing for Come Evening below.

In 2017, serendipity brought Alexandra and James together. In between engineering for bands such as Nine Inch Nails and Interpol, James simultaneously formulated the concept of a band in his mind over the years. Introduced to Alexandra by a mutual friend, they unlocked immediate chemistry. Bonding over an inherent darkness, Sylvia Plath’s diaries and The Bell Jar, the two were instantly glued together in the studio working on what would become The Silk War. Fusing together anesthetized synths with glassy guitars and shadowy ponderances, they unlocked a signature sound. The Silk War first teased their original music in 2019 with the release of “Velvet.” After building buzz throughout NYC with packed shows at Baby’s All Right, Mercury Lounge, The Vinyl Room at Soho House, and more, the quintet carefully tweaked and tinkered with what would become Come Evening.

Acclaimed reggae-rock group Roots of Creation drops “Mammoth” Today! The new single is the third release from the highly anticipated album Dub Free or Die due out this Spring. Created as an ode to the fans, the new single is an epic RoC jam session with influences ranging from heavy metal, rock, reggae, and even EDM. The song first appeared with Top Shelf Magazine who hailed, ““Mammoth” is dripping with heavy rock vibes, as Roots of Creation sprinkles their signature reggae dub echo and reverb interludes in between. Laden with EDM elements for contrast, “Mammoth” twists and turns in such unexpected ways that it keeps listeners attentive from the first note to the last.”

Listen to the new song here: https://youtu.be/Moh64ZSjbOk

The new song comes out on the heels of their Kickstarter campaign funding their 8th full length studio album Dub Free or Die Vol #1. Like many, the road warrior band pivoted in 2020 in light of COVID-19. Brett Wilson, bandleader and guitarist, reflects, “Dramatically shifting from doing over 150 shows a year for more than a decade and hugging each & every one of our fans at the merch table night after night to makeshift live streaming from the basement, going through a divorce, and becoming a remote learning teacher slash principal for my 8 year old daughter....man, it was jarring.”

During this time the band dove into the new normal by adapting to regular livestreams across all platforms and even performed at live streamed festivals including California Roots, Dazed Between Festival and many more. Taking the lemons we were all handed last year and making some vibey lemonade, Roots of Creation even landed on Pollstar’s “Top 100 Livestreamers Chart for 2020” at an impressive Number 33!

While the pandemic may have thwarted their touring plans, it could NEVER stop RoC from CREATING.

Focusing on music the band also created the new album Dub Free or Die Vol 1. It is their first self-produced album made for the Roots of Creation DIE HARD fans who love that progressive rock and jam meets reggae sound. Brett adds, “the upcoming record Dub Free or Die vol #1 is all about focusing on our instrumental songwriting. It was created for our diehard fans who travel to multiple shows a year, listen to bootlegs, pay attention to setlists and always score the latest merch drops. We are extremely blessed to have our tribe of ‘RoC family’ members to be there to support us through these crazy uncertain times and let us experiment, create and have a blast. These compositions tend to lend themselves to progressive rock, improvisation, soundscapes, rapid genre switches, and Dub Reggae EFX.”

Andrew Riordan RoC sax player and album producer adds, “Personality, this album is very special to me. The band was kind enough to let me produce and take the reins of a lot of the music in this project. It was also the last project I completed in my old studio before I remodeled and gave it an overhaul. There are pieces of gear that I used that are no longer in service; that I think gives the record a certain sound. That also makes this project feel special. I’m really happy and excited for all our fans to hear the record.
