About Lynyrd Skynyrd:
With a catalog of over 60 albums, sales beyond 30 million worldwide and their beloved classic American rock anthem “Sweet Home Alabama” having over two million downloaded ringtones, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd remains a cultural icon that appeals to all generations.  Led by core members Gary Rossington (guitar), Johnny Van Zant (vocals) and Rickey Medlock (guitar), Lynyrd Skynyrd continues the tremendous legacy that began over 35 years ago in Jacksonville, Florida with their August 21, 2012 release, Last Of A Dyin’ Breed, a legacy that was halted for a decade after the 1977 plane crash that killed three band members, including Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines. Since then, the band tragically lost Billy Powell, Ean Evans, Allen Collins, Leon Wilkeson and Huey Thomasson, yet they continue to forge ahead. Rounding out the line-up is bass player Johnny Colt, an original member of the Black Crowes who recently joined the band, Mark “Sparky” Matejka on guitar, Peter Keys on keyboards, and Dale Krantz Rossington and Carol Chase as the Honkettes backing vocalists.

NASHVILLE, TN – (September 27, 2012) –  CMA New Artist of the Year nominee Brantley Gilbert will raise a little hell as he embarks on his first headlining tour, which kicks off tonight (9/27) in Lafayette, IN  and continues in Oklahoma City, OK (9/28) and Poplar Bluff, MO (9/29). The 19-city trek will take the hot newcomer across the country throughout the middle of November.

Gilbert took a break from rehearsing to give fans an exclusive first look at the “wheels” that will power the tour in Nashville on Monday (9/24). He then performed an intimate, acoustic set for SiriusXM’s The Highway. Posting the event to his more than 1 million fans on Facebook the star was swarmed by members of the BG Nation all hoping to catch a glimpse.

The “Country Must Be Country Wide” singer has already had a standout year receiving his second consecutive #1 hit with the Gold-certified, “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do,” from his Gold-selling album HAFLWAY TO HEAVEN. Gilbert’s current southern anthem, “Kick It In The Sticks,” is already  Top 40-and-rising at Country radio and the accompanying video has received over 12.5 million views on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=ve8sNTqrzCw.

Gilbert has continued to receive praise for his high-energy live show while out on the road earlier this year with Eric Church and Toby Keith.

REVIEWS:

“Hundreds in the jumping, fist-pumping crowd sang —or, more accurately —screamed along when the Georgia-bred rocker flawlessly delivered the fast-paced stroll down memory lane about the good old days on a dirt road.” – THE WASHINGTON POST

“The energy that Brantley Gilbert brought to his set was almost indescribable. If the energy from the pumping arms of the 2,000 people in the mosh pit arrayed in front of the stage could have been harnessed, it likely would have powered the Huntington Center.” – THE TOLEDO BLADE

Katy Perry Named The 2012 Billboard Woman of the Year

Award To Be Accepted At The Annual Billboard Women In Music Event In New York City

NEW YORK,  -- Billboard announced today that Katy Perry will accept its coveted Woman of the Year Award at the 2012 Billboard Women in Music event taking place on Friday, November 30, 2012 at Capitale in New York City.  This award honors the achievements of a trailblazing female recording artist over the past 12 months, and acknowledges her overall success in the music business and her leadership in embracing the changing industry.

Since the release of her first mainstream album, "One of the Boys," in 2008, Katy Perry has continued to top the Billboard charts, setting a number of records along the way.  She is the only woman to score five Hot 100 No. 1s from one album ("Teenage Dream") in the chart's 54-year history. The album spent more than 100 weeks on the Billboard 200 and has sold 2.5 million copies in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan.  Perry has also sold 48 million tracks in the U.S., with four of them -- "Firework," "California Gurls," "E.T." and "Hot N Cold" -- among the top 30 selling downloads of all time, and holds the record for the most consecutive weeks (69) with at least one title in the Hot 100's top 10.
In addition to her chart success, Katy Perry embarked on the California Dreams Tour in 2011 in support of "Teenage Dream," and sold out 124 arenas around the globe. A portion of ticket sales was donated via Tickets-for-Charity to The Children's Health Fund, Generosity Water and The Humane Society, and a portion of merchandise sales was donated to The Red Cross to benefit local disaster relief efforts. The tour was also the subject of this year's 3D feature film, "Katy Perry: Part of Me," which is already the fourth biggest music documentary of all time.
"Katy Perry broke into the industry not even five years ago, and has already accomplished more than most artists can hope for in an entire career," said Bill Werde, Billboard's editorial director. "We are thrilled to celebrate these incredible achievements and her amazing past 12 months by honoring her with the Billboard Woman of the Year Award. With what seems like a never-ending supply of record-breaking, chart-topping hits, coupled with her unique and fresh style, Katy Perry is hands-down one of the most exciting and inspiring artists in the industry today."
The Billboard Women in Music event celebrates the most powerful and talented women in music, and past Woman of the Year honorees have included Beyonce, Fergie and Taylor Swift.
The event is also held in conjunction with the much-anticipated publication of Billboard's Women in Music Power Players list, which recognizes the top female music executives who are leading the industry with their artistic and business vision.

GEORGE STRAIT ANNOUNCES THE COWBOY RIDES AWAY TOUR

 

 21 Dates Announced for 2013; Tickets on sale October 12 

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. –  Musical icon George Strait announced his plans for his final two-year tour – The Cowboy Rides Away Tour.  In a press conference live from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Strait revealed the first 21 markets he will visit during the winter and spring legs of his 2013 tour.  Special guest Martina McBride is set to join Strait for the 2013 dates, which begin on January 18 in Lubbock, Texas.

 

Strait, who celebrated his 60th birthday earlier this year, shared, “This is going to be a very special, emotional tour for me. Everywhere we’re going holds fond memories and I’m looking forward to paying my respects.”  Strait plans to continue recording new music and play select dates around the country following the completion of the tour. 

 

The Cowboy Rides Away Tour will offer fans a final opportunity to take in Strait’s live show filled with hits from throughout his remarkable career.  

 

Strait has thus far yielded 59 No. 1 songs, has earned more than 60 major industry awards, and has sold over 65 million albums.  He is the only artist in music history to achieve at least one Top Ten hit each year during his 30-year career and was only the second artist at the time (after Eddy Arnold in 1966) to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame (2006) while still actively recording and producing chart topping hits and albums.   

 

One of the most spectacular voices in any genre of music, McBride has sold more than 18 million albums and has garnered six No. 1 singles. She is the “most played female artist on country radio for the past 11 years,” according to both Mediabase and Broadcast Data Systems (BDS). The breadth of her talents – as recording artist, producer, songwriter, and concert entertainer – has made her an in-demand performer and personality. Among her hits are such empowering songs as "Independence Day," "This One's for the Girls," and "A Broken Wing," all of which have underscored her incredible popularity as one of music's preeminent female vocalists.

 

George Strait fan club members will have an opportunity to purchase tickets beginning at 10 a.m. in the venue’s respective time zone on Oct. 9, 2012, and tickets available to the general public will be available for purchase beginning Oct. 12 (same time zone restraints apply).

Aerosmith Returns for Newly Announced Second Leg of 'The Global Warming Tour' Tickets Go On Sale September 24

BAND'S NEW ALBUM 'MUSIC FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION' STREETS NOVEMBER 6

NEW YORK, Sept.2012--  "Brad Whitford and Joe Perry are playing better guitar than ever. Steven Tyler is playful, happy, and singing all of those impossible high notes. Joey Kramer has a drum groove like no other. And Tom Hamilton...continues to be the steady anchor to this ship."
-- Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver, Loaded)
SEATTLE WEEKLY , August 10, 2012
AEROSMITH ain't messing around.
America's greatest rock band delivered absolutely killer sets on the first leg of their triumphant, sold-out The Global Warming Tour this past summer, with critics dropping comments like (we kid you not, see below) "stunning...jaw-dropping...impassioned intensity...seamless swagger...epic rock moments...a wonder to behold...Aerosmith always managed to reinvent itself for the masses without losing its inherent musicality...Make no mistake, Aerosmith remains king."
They ain't done yet.  More prisoners will be taken when Steven Tyler (vocals), Joe Perry (guitar), Brad Whitford (guitar), Tom Hamilton (bass) and Joey Kramer (drums) return for the second leg of The Global Warming Tour launching November 8 . The month-long, 14-city arena tour will take the band to New York City (Madison Square Garden), Los Angeles (Staples Center) and Las Vegas (MGM Grand Garden Arena), among other cities.  They're fully armed with career-defining hits and blazing songs from their new album MUSIC FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION , out November 6 on Columbia Records. They're the only band of their stature with all-original members and who are playing better than ever before.
The Live Nation-produced tour will include support act Cheap Trick.  Tickets go on sale Monday, September 24 at 10:00 AM (local time) at www.LiveNation.com.  American Express card members can get advance tickets beginning this Wednesday, September 19 at 10:00 AM (local time).  For VIP ticket packages, including opportunities to meet band members, backstage tours, great tickets and more, visit www.Aeroforceone.com.  In addition, a Facebook pre-sale begins Friday, September 21 ; fans who visit www.livenation.com/aerosmith and RSVP to the pre-sale will have early access to tickets.
MUSIC FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION -- recently chosen by PEOPLE magazine (9-17-12) as one of "5 Must Have Albums For Fall" -- marks AEROSMITH's 15^th studio album and their first studio album of all-new material in 11 years. There has been a witch's brew boiling for 10 years, and they're about to blow the cover off. The album was recorded in Los Angeles and at the band's studio in Massachusetts ; it was produced by Jack Douglas , Steven Tyler and Joe Perry , with the exception of three tracks produced by Tyler and Marti Frederiksen . The album abounds with one highlight after another, including "Out Go The Lights," "Oh Yeah," "Luv XXX," "We All Fall Down," "Street Jesus" and "Can't Stop Loving You," on which Tyler duets with Carrie Underwood .  The album also includes "Freedom Fighter" which features Johnny Depp on backing vocals. The album's first two singles have been released simultaneously to radio and are now lighting up the airwaves: "What Could Have Been Love" is now impacting at Hot AC and "Lover A Lot" at Rock, Active Rock, and Classic Rock.

CRITICAL QUOTES FROM THE FIRST LEG (JULY/AUGUST 2012) OF THE GLOBAL WARMING TOUR
"For the singer Steven Tyler, a microphone stand is a maypole, a hobbyhorse, a dance partner, a weapon and an all-purpose Freudian symbol; his outfit also included a studded codpiece. For the guitarist Joe Perry, his longtime partner in Aerosmith's production and songwriting, a mere trill or squiggle in a solo can set off arena-wide squeals of joy, especially when he delivers it rearing back as if he were aiming at the balconies, with a fan blowing through his white-streaked hair...[Tyler is]...an unstoppable vocalist who was belting, howling, letting loose falsetto whoops or barking rhymes at proto-hip-hop speed."
  --Jon Pareles, NEW YORK TIMES , July 2, 2012
"…the quintet displayed its limberness, both musically and physically, with a set that proved that they simply don't make rock stars the way they used to...Tyler is a rip-roaring, butt-shaking, sexy-skanky, wake-the-dead-yowling, rock star supreme."
  --Melissa Ruggieri, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, July 27, 2012
"Aerosmith always managed to reinvent itself for the masses without losing its inherent musicality...the band stayed true to its creative forces. That's why 42 years after its inception, Aerosmith still sells out arenas."
  --Mario Tarradell, DALLAS MORNING NEWS, July 29, 2012
"...seamless swagger...They haven't sounded so fierce in years...epic rock moments..."
  --David Hall, ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, August 7, 2012
"Perry remains one of rock's great guitarists. He shredded magnificently all night, and his lap steel playing on 'Rag Doll' was elegantly understated. He and Brad Whitford traded licks on 'Cryin' that brought the house down, aided in no small part by Tyler's harmonica playing and his scarifying, howling vocals...The under-appreciated rhythm section of Joey Kramer and Tom Hamilton anchored the band, keeping the chaos under control. Hamilton's a monster bassist."
  --Bill Brotherton, BOSTON HERALD, July 18, 2012
"Not only was he in fine voice, Tyler hasn't been this delicious sleazy in years...On 'Back in the Saddle,' the audience was treated to the seemingly ageless combination of Tyler's soaring high notes and Perry's snarling guitar licks. While Tyler and Perry are the equivalent to the Rolling Stones' Jagger and Keith Richards, like the Stones, Aerosmith has a tight rhythm section in the capable hands of guitarist Brad Whitford, bassist Tom Hamilton and drummer Joey Kramer."
  --Craig S. Semon, TELEGRAM & GAZETTE (Worcester, MA), July 18, 2012
"...'Legendary Child' starts by referencing the band's past, but extends into an intricate arrangement that might suggest latter-day Beatles with a touch of T-Rex, but ends with some truly marvelous soaring guitars."
  --Jay Miller, PATRIOT LEDGER (Quincy, MA), July 18, 2012
"...stunning...Re-energized, rejuvenated and playing with passion."
  --John J. Moser, THE MORNING CALL (Allentown, PA), July 22, 2012
"...with stellar, jaw-dropping performance."
  --Dustin Schoof, THE EXPRESS-TIMES (Lehigh Valley, PA), July 22, 2012
"The one-two punch of new song 'Oh Yeah' (from the forthcoming, aptly named Music From Another Dimension) followed by the nasty-grooved classic 'Last Child' portends good things for future gigs that I expect will be filled out with even more new tunes. (Another new offering, the in-the-Aeropocket 'Legendary Child,' made me hungry to hear more Dimension cuts.)."
  --Mike Mettler, SOUNDANDVISIONMAG.COM, July 25, 2012
"...Aerosmith was in the zone, putting on an arena show in all its glory...By the time Perry climbed on top of Tyler's piano during the first encore of 'Dream On,' the audience was ready for the show to go on all night."
  --Candace Horgan, DENVER POST , August 2, 2012
"...muscular, high-spirited, two-hour set...Lead guitarist Joe Perry...played with impassioned intensity."
  --Gene Stout, SEATTLE TIMES , August 9, 2012
"...Steven Tyler still commanding the attention of thousands like a prowling tiger...'Walk This Way?' These guys must have played that ten thousand times, but it still kills."
  --Conan Neutron, EAST BAY EXPRESS (Oakland, CA), August 8, 2012
"...Steven Tyler is simply a wonder to behold...The band sounded fantastic..."
  --Darryl Smyers, DALLAS OBSERVER, July 30, 2012
"It takes two to rock -- an audience and a band. However, when the band is as perfect as Aerosmith, the crowd doesn't have to do much to impress. That was the case in this instance. Aerosmith put on such a flawless performance that even the most jaded Los Angeles collective of industry types, celebrities, and fans barely left its feet. Being introduced by comic book legend Stan Lee proved rather a propos as at this point Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton, and Joey Kramer remain superheroes in their own right. Immediately, the Boston trailblazers ignited the raucous riff stomp of 'Draw the Line'...It sounded just as fiery as it does on record due to the group's immortal chemistry."
  --Rick Florino, ARTISTDIRECT.COM, August 7, 2012
"Tyler's voice had not lost even a bit of its power and range...But what may have been the best surprise of the evening was how well two new tracks fit into the set. 'Oh Yeah' was an engaging bluesy groove, after which Tyler hugged Perry, and the band's new single 'Legendary Child,' sounded like it could have come straight off 1976's Rocks, or if not, at least '93's Get A Grip...Make no mistake, Aerosmith remains king."
  --Frank Valish, UNDERTHERADARMAGAZINE.COM, August 7, 2012

With a rallying cry of “JOY NOW!” MarchFourth Marching Band (known as M4 by its growing legion of fans) throws itself and the audience into a swirling volcano of high-energy music and spectacle. What began as a Fat Tuesday party on March 4, 2003 in Portland, Oregon has over the last 8 years become one of the nation’s best live touring acts. The band will have spent over 180 days and 50,000 miles on the road by the end of 2011 alone, and thanks to word-of-mouth will soon be graduating from “best kept secret” to a band on the brink of exploding in popularity. Whether at a family matinee in a small town in Colorado or a sweaty nightclub in New York City or a festival mainstage in Louisiana, MarchFourth wins over audiences of all ages at every occasion, and has consistently been named a “festival favorite.”

The sound of a revolution doesn’t come with a bang; it doesn’t come with a whimper. Revolution reveals itself like a song. Cultural change starts with inspiration; the desire to break from the status quo and write a new chapter. For these days of uncertainty, the Boston-based trio State Radio set the explosive soundtrack for change with their forthcoming album, Rabbit Inn Rebellion. These 11 tracks create a concept album, depicting a dystopia world ravaged by endless war, wanton executions, heartless oligarchs and the unlikely love between freight train runaways. But this isn’t science fiction; these stories are true, revealing facets of the world, as it is today. State Radio’s Chad Stokes (of Dispatch & Chadwick Stokes), Chuck Fay and Mike “Mad Dog” Najarian serve up rock n’ roll realism that weaves together stories of the downtrodden and the oppressed, but never loses its sense of hope. The album is raw and gritty, rolling with thunderous drumming and delectably grimy guitars.
