BONNIE RAITT REGRETFULLY CANCELS SELECT TOUR DATES WITH JAMES TAYLOR DUE TO HEALTH ISSUE
 
Los Angeles, CA (April 30, 2018) – Due to an unexpected medical situation that requires immediate attention, Bonnie Raitt will no longer be able to join James Taylor & His All-Star Band for the first portion of their previously announced summer tour.  Following her annual physical, it was determined she needs to schedule some surgery soon. The prognosis is good and a full recovery is expected. 

Bonnie Raitt says “I’m deeply sorry to have to disappoint my fans, James and colleagues with these cancellations. I was so looking forward to our tour, but I’m very grateful that the doctors feel this can be taken care of with surgery. I’m feeling strong and am in great hands with my wonderful team. I fully expect to return for the second leg of the US tour in June followed by our European tour in July. Thank you all for your concern and understanding that the best gift you could give me is respecting my wish for privacy and giving me space to heal. Can’t wait to see you all back on the road again soon!”

James Taylor says “This summer was to be Bonnie’s and my second summer touring together. We wanted to do it again because it was such good fun the first time, we didn’t want it to end. We are so looking forward to having her rejoin the tour in mid-June. Of course, there is no question as to the priority of your health, Bonnie. You will be constantly in our hearts and minds until we see you in June.”

The first leg of the tour, which is scheduled to kick off at the Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, FL on May 8th, will now be an “Evening with James Taylor & His All-Star Band”, featuring two sets with a brief intermission.  

Sheryl Crow is scheduled to join James Taylor & His All Star band as a Special Guest in Phoenix, AZ at The Talking Stick Resort Arena on May 29 and for two nights at the iconic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on May 31 and June 1.  

Bonnie Raitt is scheduled to join back up with the tour starting in St. Paul, MN on June 22.  

James will also return to Tanglewood for two nights on July 3 & 4 marking his 27th time performing his annual Fourth of July concert in Lenox, MA.  James Taylor & His All Star band are also set to join the Eagles this summer at Nationals Park in Washington, DC on July 26 and in Philadelphia, PA at Citizens Bank Park on July 28.

Rock of the ‘70s Returns

With an All-New Line-Up! 

 

WHAT:         Back by popular demand, Rock Of The ’70s returns with an all-new line-up! It promises to be an evening of St. Louis classics as April Wine, The Babys, Savoy Brown, and the Pat Travers Band share the stage for one night only. Don’t miss what promises to be an amazing night of rock-n-roll – Friday, October 5.

 

April Wine is a Canadian rock band formed in 1969. According to the band, they chose the name ‘April Wine’ simply because members thought the two words sounded good together. The band went on to release more than twenty albums and record St. Louis favorites such as “I Like To Rock.” “Sign Of The Gypsy Queen,” “Roller,” and “Just Between You And Me.” April Wine has forged a live performance reputation which still sees them drawing devoted crowds across Canada and around the world more than forty years after taking their first steps into the hard rock spotlight.

 

Born in 1976, The Babys  took on the classic rock world head first with a full stage musical experience, giving rise to what quickly came to be known as their ‘signature sound’. Billboard chart-climbers like “Every Time I Think of You”, “Midnight Rendezvous” and “Isn’t It Time” helped to launch them into worldwide recognition while also helping to carve out their permanent place in music history. After a successful run from 1976-1981, THE BABYS disbanded, but are thrilled to be back after a three-decade absence! Co-founders Tony Brock (drums) and Wally Stocker (lead guitar) launched a nationwide talent search at the end of 2012 to find the right lead vocalist, additional guitarist, keyboardist and iconic Babettes to capture and complete the full richest of the classic sound of THE BABYS, which they found in lead vocalist/bassist John Bisaha, guitarist Joey Sykes, keyboardist Louis Middleton and The Babettes; Holly Bisaha and Elisa Chadbourne.

 

Originally called the Savoy Brown Blues Band, this group can rightly take credit for cutting the farewell anthem of the 1960s British blues boom, in the form of a modern blues aptly titled “Train to Nowhere.” One of the earliest of British blues bands, Savoy Brown, with founder guitarist Kim Simmonds at the helm, helped launch the 1967 UK blues boom movement that brought blues music back to the USA invigorating the style forever. In the process, the band became part of the framework that launched the rock and roll music of the 1970’s. Their influence now stretches into modern rock as we know it today.

 

Since the critically acclaimed 1976 debut album featuring his own brand of high-quality seventies guitar rock and roll, Pat Travers has gone on to deliver melodic eighties rock, a blues period throughout most of the nineties, noted performances with various power trio’s during the first few years of the new Millennium, and a full-blooded return to the trademark Pat Travers Band sound as he entered his fifth performing and recording decade.

DRAKE WHITE RELEASES NEW MUSIC WITH PIECES EP

Fresh Tunes Available May 4


Cover Art Courtesy of BMLG Records

 NASHVILLE, TN (April 24, 2018) – Drake White is an emphatic storyteller and passionate entertainer. He paints pictures through his lyrics and delivers them with a soulful howl like no one else can. This has never been more evident than with Drake’s forthcoming project, PIECES EP, out digitally May 4 on BMLG Records. Fans can pre-save PIECES to their Spotify library here - https://DrakeWhite.lnk.to/PresavePiecesPR.
 
Produced by GRAMMY®-nominated songwriter busbee, White co-penned two tracks featured alongside three additional cuts that fit well within his storybook.  

“I love writing that’s very simple, but it’s like, ‘Oh, I know exactly what you’re talking about,’ explained White. “I’m infatuated with words and trying to arrange them in a way that would make my heroes proud.”

TRACKLIST:

1. “Girl in Pieces” | busbee, Brad Tursi, Troy Verges
2. “Grandpa’s Farm” | Brent Cobb, Adam Hood, Jason Saenz
3. “Happy Place” | Drake White, busbee, Josh Osborne
4. “Nothing Good Happens After Midnight” | Dan Isbell, Heather Lynn Morgan, Lindsay Rimes
5. “The Best is Yet to Come” | Drake White, busbee, Josh Kear

PIECES follows White’s debut album, SPARK, which earned praise both commercially and across his loyal fan following. It was named as the 2016 Taste of Country Fan Choice Awards Album of the Year and the momentum hasn’t slowed. His most recent single, “Makin’ Me Look Good Again” earned the title of International Song of the Year at the British CMA Awards late last year.
 
Highlighted as one of No Depression’s 7 Male Artists to Breakout in 2018, White has established himself as the ultimate showman known for raucous, foot-stomping live shows. White, along with his band The Big Fire, has previously toured with Superstars including Willie Nelson, Dierks Bentley, Little Big Town, Zac Brown Band, Eric Church, Toby Keith and more. Major corporations have also taken notice with Geico showcasing his song “Heartbeat” in their national television campaign. He wrapped his first headlining SPARK TOUR 2017 with multiple sold-out dates and is currently on the road for additional headline dates.

ROOTS & BOOTS TOUR AT CHESTERFIELD AMPHITHEATER FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY
Featuring Aaron Tippin, Sammy Kershaw, and Collin Raye

Chesterfield Amphitheater is proud to host the Roots & Boots Tour featuring three country legends Aaron Tippin, Sammy Kershaw and Collin Raye will be coming to the ChAmp on Saturday, July 7, 2018 at 7 pm.  Combined 40 top ten smash hits and 25 million albums sold!
Aaron Tippin has crusaded for the working man and woman since he ripped country music wide open with his uncompromising single “You’ve Got to Stand for Something.”  His voice continued to ring loud and clear with such hits as “I Wouldn’t Have It Any Other Way”, “There Ain’t Nothin’ Wrong with The Radio”, That’s as Close as I’ll Get to Loving You,” “My Blue Angel” and “Kiss This”. Five of his albums are certified “Gold” and a sixth CD—Read Between the Lines—stands at the “Platinum” level. Tippin’s honest lyrics and direct, impassioned vocals have built a large and devoted audience.
In the course of breaking into the ranks of stardom in country music, Sammy Kershaw has made contributions to more than just the charts.  His platinum albums were propelled into the records books by hits such as “She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful,” “I Can’t Reach Her Anymore,” “National Working Woman’s Holiday,” “Love of My Life,” “Cadillac Style,” “Don’t Go Near the Water,” “Haunted Heart,” … and many other milestones.
Collin Raye is nothing if not passionate. His soulful delivery has set country standards in such searing ballads as “Love, Me,” “In This Life,” “Not That Different” and “If I were you”.  Always an energizing showman, he has also blazed through such vivid rockers as “My Kind of Girl,” “That’s My Story,” “I Can Still Feel You” and “I Want You Bad.” With 24 top ten records, 16 #1 hits, and having been a 10-time male vocalist of the year nominee (5 CMA and 5 ACM), this truly electrifying performer of his era remains one of the great voices of our time.

An obsession with money, an unfaithful lover, a friend's accidental pregnancy, misogyny, loneliness, death… This is just some of the lighthearted subject matter that make up LONER--the darkly comedic second album from songwriter/producer Caroline Rose. Armed with an arsenal of new instruments and equipment, an ever-growing sense of "ahhh fuck it," two years of exploration, and a wicked sense of humor, Rose delivers a set of serious songs wrapped in a sprightly, angsty pop burrito. Because, as Rose puts it, "Sometimes sad songs just need a cocktail." LONER captures the cheeky satire, comical musings, and often jarring mood swings--sometimes goofy, sometimes emotional--that make up much of Rose's personality. "I call it Schizodrift," she says sipping on a martini with her pinky out. "I want to make music that sounds as manic as I feel." Filled with catchy synth hooks, Ray Manzarek-esque Farfisa, surf guitar, depth of thought and a punk attitude, LONER captures the energy of bands like Le Tigre and The Cramps, and nods to the styles of Blondie and DEVO, the pop hooks of icons like Justin Timberlake, all the while being inspired by the artistry of Kate Bush. "I'd say this album was as much inspired by Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears as it was late 70s punk." How did she get here? According to Rose, the transition was natural.

The day after GGOOLLDD frontwoman Margaret Butler graduated from art school in Baton Rouge she packed a Uhaul and headed west. “I was like, yeah, I’m not going to live here anymore,” she recalls, laughing. Her first stop was Portland, Oregon, where she subsisted mostly on “ramen noodles and pumpkins people stole for me from Home Depot,” she remembers. “You sauté them down and add lots of black pepper and curry powder and soy sauce. It’s actually pretty good!” Butler was riding high on that particular sense of freedom that comes when you’ve decided your life plan is to just say yes to pretty much everything. So you don’t really care that you’re broke and subsisting on stolen jack-o-lanterns, because you’re not in your suburban high school anymore, hiding your disdain for the cheerleaders. You’re in a weird and cool new town, hanging out with musicians and designers and artists. You’re free to mess around. Explore. And just when you’re starting to get a little over living “four people deep,” as Butler puts it, in your tiny apartment, another friend says, hey, come out to Wisconsin for a while. So you do. (Because: say yes!) And a while later, when, boozy in a bar one night, you hear some beats you think you’d like to write lyrics to, even though you’ve never so much as held a microphone in your life, you go for it. (Say. Yes.) And the next thing you know, you’re fronting a dynamic, dirty, synth-pop carnival of a band, hearing your single on the radio, and touring the country.

While it bears the sonic landmarks of roots music’s most fertile ground, the songwriting of Sam Lewis is born of a landscape that can only be felt, not seen. His music is native to the infinite expanse that is exposed when human attention is full, and focused inward – harvested solely by the nuanced rhythm of love. Sam’s songs are rooted in the energy that defines this harmonious frontier, the space that unifies the human experience in each of us. It’s the anchored spirit in this incubated territory of soul for which Sam Lewis works to celebrate and elevate with the tones of rock & roll, rhythm & blues and a country-folk muse. Sam is not the first man to turn over this primal soil, but he is unquestionably here to be the one that keeps sowing the field. Lewis laments, “I flip on a radio or stare at my phone, and I hear some familiar sounds and I see some flashy things being made right now – and that’s cool. But it’s real hard to find something that’s being said beyond what’s superficial. And then go I and spin a record by Lee Dorsey and I feel the world lifted with four words and a funky groove, and then I’ll listen to Pops Staples preaching the most earnest spirit with some shake, swagger and sweat thrown on it – and man there it is, there’s the fresh air, there’s the hope. These are the men that paved the path I want to walk on, the path I want to preserve. Everyone is welcome to walk it with me. I hope they do.”

HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD RELEASE NEW VERSION OF “WHATEVER IT TAKES”

CURRENTLY ON NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

CONFIRMED TO PLAY LAS RAGEOUS, WELCOME TO ROCKVILLE, AND FORT ROCK FESTIVALS

(April 20, 2018) – Los Angeles, CA – Today, Hollywood Undead unveiled a new version of their hit single, “Whatever It Takes,” featuring notable recording artists Prodigal Sunn, Demrick, and Fudd Rukus. The mixtape edition of the song is available to stream and purchase on digital retailers, and fans can grab a listen and watch the music video HERE. The video was once again directed by Brian Cox, who has been at the helm for other signature Hollywood Undead videos including “California Dreaming” and “Black Cadillac.” The original track appears on the band’s fifth studio album, FIVE, released October 27th, 2017 via Dove & Grenade Media/BMG.

“It's such an honor for us as a band to share this song with some extremely talented artists and friends,” says Johnny 3 Tears, Hollywood Undead’s vocalist and bass guitarist. “The song is about doing whatever we have to in order to overcome any circumstance, which is something everyone goes through in life. It's amazing to hear new stories on the same song. What's your story?”

After completing a substantial run of European dates earlier this year, Hollywood Undead is currently back on the road for a tour across North America. Tonight, the band will co-headline The Complex in Salt Lake City with In This Moment, followed by a run of headline shows and festival performances at Las Rageous, Welcome to Rockville, Fort Rock, Corona Hell & Heaven, Impact Music, and Heavy Montréal. After selling out venues in London, Munich, Budapest, Prague, and more, it’s needless to say that the quintet’s atomic live performances are in high demand. To see it for yourself, check out the official live video of “Renegade” from the band’s headline performance at Moscow’s Adrenaline Stadium.

A full list of tour dates is included below, and all tickets can be purchased HERE.

FIVE debuted at #7 on the Billboard Top Albums Chart and has accumulated over 35 million streams, led by standout tracks “California Dreaming,” “Whatever It Takes” and “Bad Moon.” The record threads together a collage of metallic instrumentation, street corner poetry, and industrial haze, and Hollywood Undead’s “penchant for experimentation, as well as a flair for pop craftsmanship, is what sets [the band] apart from some of their contemporaries” (AllMusic).

“I wrote this song in under an hour with Justin (Ebach) and Jordan (Minton),” expressed Trent. “My girlfriend just told me over the phone that she was moving to Thailand with two days notice to fulfill her dream of teaching overseas. I was so happy for her but at the same time was so heartbroken that she was literally going to be across the world from me for an indefinite amount of time.”

While the couple is physically apart, they each find solace in supporting each other’s journey. The reigning American Idol champ will share music from his first full-length release on his headline dates throughout the summer in addition to select shows on tour with Country superstars Rascal Flatts. He will also perform during CMA Fest in Nashville in June. For more information, visit TrentHarmon.com.
