GODSMACK with Halestorm
Comes to The Family Arena



WHAT:           According to Greek mythology, the phoenix absorbs new life through rising from the ashes of its predecessor.

By the same token, we tear down the relics of the past in order to make way for the innovations of the future. As every rebirth requires reinvention, GODSMACK--Sully Erna [vocals, guitar], Tony Rombola [guitar], Robbie Merrill [bass], and Shannon Larkin [drums]--continues a similar cycle on their seventh full-length and debut for BMG, When Legends Rise.

Self-doubt and depression clawed at the edges of Lzzy Hale’s mind when it came time to penHalestorm’s fourth album, a follow-up to 2015’s Into The Wild Life. The musician didn’t feel like she was where she needed to be, both professionally and personally. When she and her bandmates, Arejay Hale, Joe Hottinger and Josh Smith, began writing, Lzzy wasn’t even sure who she was. “I kept thinking, ‘Can I still do this?’” she says. “I went down a lot of rabbit holes, and I’m my own worst critic. I needed to get over a lot of internal hurdles during this writing and recording process. This record was about overcoming inner demons.”

WHEN:           Sunday, October 20, 2019 @ 7:00pm

On their new album Shapeshifter II: Outbreak, New York-bred band TAUK offer an unsettling but ultimately exhilarating look at artificial intelligence and its potential to upend our world. With its dynamic sense of tension and cinematic mastery of mood, TAUK’s all-instrumental blend of progressive rock, hip-hop, and jazz proves to be the perfect backdrop for such explorations, giving way to an album that’s both powerfully hypnotic and intensely thought-provoking. “We’re all very much interested in A.I., and this idea of machines getting out of the hands of the people trying to control them,” notes TAUK guitarist Matt Jalbert, whose bandmates include bassist Charlie Dolan, keyboardist Alric “A.C.” Carter, and drummer Isaac Teel. “This album felt like a good setting to tell that kind of story, but in a way where we could have fun with it and let the listener escape into a whole other world.”

MIDLAND PERFORMS “MR. LONELY” ON NBC'S
THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON 

Watch Now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_2v5xH2wcg

Country Trio Will Next Perform on "CMA FEST" 

Sunday, August 4 at 8/7c on ABC

NASHVILLE, TN – Juy 24, Grammy-nominated trio MIDLAND brought “Mr. Lonely,” to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Watch Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_2v5xH2wcg.  Rolling Stone Country praised the performance saying the trio was “owning the late-night stage with a mix of sartorial flash, choreographed dance moves, and impromptu hat tosses” and that the “Country trio proves they never met a stage move they didn’t like on The Tonight Show.”

“Mr. Lonely” serves as the first single off
 LET IT ROLL due 8/23 on Big Machine Records. Written by Midland — singer Mark Wystrach, guitarist Jess Carson and bassist Cameron Duddy — with Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, the fast-moving honky-tonker is a warning to guys to treat their women right, at the risk of losing them to the man always waiting to whisk them away: Mr. Lonely. 

The Washington Post named Midland’s debut album, ON THE ROCKS,  “the year’s best country album” and fans agreed, propelling it to the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. The New York Times cited their “dangerously honed sense of aesthetics and deadpan sense of humor” that also helped garner GRAMMY nods for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group and Best Country Song, plus a 2018 ACM Awards win as New Duo/Group.

Midland has spent the last two years on the road with George Strait, Tim McGraw and Little Big Town, as well as touring around the globe. They just announced their LET IT ROLL tour which kicks off in New York City September 17 and traverses the globe to Australia throughout the fall.

EMILY ANN ROBERTS’ SOMEDAY DREAM DEBUTS ON TWO BILLBOARD ALBUM CHARTS 
Nashville, TN (July 25, 2019) - Country traditionalist Emily Ann Roberts released Someday Dream on July 12 and the debut project from The Voice alum landed on two Billboard album charts.  Entering the Country Album chart at #25 and the all-genre Independent Albums chart in the Top 50, Roberts’ first official body of work is proudly making its mark.

“I am so excited about this news,” exclaims Emily Ann Roberts.  “I never dreamed my debut project would land on a Billboard chart much less two.  I couldn’t be more thankful for everyone that has been a part of it and a special shout out to all my fans for the continued support.”

Roberts spent the last three years writing and thoughtfully cultivating the music for this project.  The EP, produced by award-winning Jason Saenz, mixed by Chuck Ainlay and mastered by Adam Ayan at Gateway Mastering, features a collection of six songs, five of which Roberts has writing credit.

Listen here.

Earlier this summer, Roberts performed the title track “Someday Dream” on The Voice.  She also shared songs from the EP at CMA Fest last month where her performance caught the ears of Rolling Stone who placed her on their list of 20 Best Acts of the festival alongside artists like Lil Nas X and Kassi Ashton.

About Emily Ann Roberts 

Influenced by artists such as the Dixie Chicks and Dolly Parton, Emily Ann Roberts aims to take her love for authentic, classic country and make it fresh and new.  She was raised on mountain music and bluegrass, so her love for that sound shines in her new country releases and sets her apart.  After learning how to play guitar in the 6th grade, she began singing all over her hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee.  In 2015, she placed as the Runner-Up on NBC’s The Voice.  Roberts then began cowriting and recording her own music in Nashville while playing shows at venues across the country.  After working for three years on her music, in September of 2018 she made her debut release of her first original song, “Stuck On Me + You” and then followed that with another passionate original, “I’ve Got Forever”.

Roberts is determined to continue creating music that makes an impact in the lives of those who listen.  Her newest single, “Someday Dream,” has a message of taking hold of your biggest dreams and chasing them in every moment.  Roberts wants her listeners to know they’re able to live out their dreams.

Roberts returned to The Voice stage to perform the single “Someday Dream” last month.  Roberts debut EP Someday Dream is was released on July 12th and landed on two Billboard album charts.

Roberts was recently included in Rolling Stone’s 20 Best Acts of CMA Fest among hundreds of emerging and superstars artists.

Roberts also has a passion for makeup and fashion and loves the outlet it gives her to be creative.  She is a collector of cowboy boots and is always on the hunt to find a new unique pair to add to her collection.  She also loves baking and decorating treats for people to enjoy and dreams of having her own cookbook one day to share her favorite recipes with others.

The Oak Ridge Boys Announce New Down Home ChristmasAlbum and 2019 Down Home Christmas Tour

The Oak Ridge Boys: Down Home Christmas
Produced By Dave Cobb, 'Down Home Christmas' Will Be Available October 25th
2019 'Down Home Christmas Tour' Kicks Off In Branson, Missouri on November 13th With Over Twenty Five Dates Announced So Far
Including River City Casino Event Center
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – GRAMMY® Award-winning and Country Music Hall of Fame members, The Oak Ridge Boys, will once again celebrate the Christmas season with their timeless hits and holiday classics on their 2019 Down Home Christmas Tour. The Oak Ridge Boys will perform over thirty-one concerts and are set to kick-off on November 13th in Branson, Missouri, playing in 28 cities and 14 states across the U.S. In conjunction with the tour, the Oaks' latest Christmas album,Down Home Christmas, produced by Dave Cobb, will be released by Lightning Rod Records/Thirty Tigers on October 25, 2019.

Each year The Oak Ridge Boys travel all over the United States spreading Christmas cheer by performing Christmas classics, new favorites and many of the hits that shaped the career of this legendary group. The Oak Ridge Boys' set list will take audiences on a hit-filled musical journey of holiday cheer from the group's seven best-selling Christmas albums, along with songs from the new Down Home Christmas Album, which includes standards such as "Amazing Grace" and "Silent Night," but also new favorites such as "Don't Go Pullin' On Santa Claus Beard" written by Americana hit-maker Anderson East and "South Alabama Christmas," written by Jamey Johnson.

"Down Home Christmas began much like the other seven Christmas albums we have recorded. But things changed. Most of the songs I had collected were put on the shelf, and we started looking for songs that addressed specific subjects related to Christmas," says The Oaks' Duane Allen. "Dave Cobb was the producer/coach/motivator for this project. He encouraged us to dig a little deeper into our souls, to capture the magic of each song. With very simple instrumentation, the four Oak Ridge Boys' voices are out front, and in your face, with the awesome, huge sound of RCA Studio A wrapped around, but not over-powering it."

"Down Home Christmas is a project that we are happy to share with the world and, rest assured, you will hear these songs on our upcoming 30th annual Christmas tour," says Joe Bonsall. "The instrumentation is sparse, yet incredibly put together, and the vocals are rich and vibrant. Many of the songs were freshly written by a stable of Nashville’s top songwriters."

Down Home Christmas marks the Oaks' 30th annual Christmas tour, eighth Christmas album, and third album collaboration with producer Dave Cobb.

Track Listing:
1. The Family Piano (Aaron Raitiere)

MARCO BENEVENTO UNVEILS NOVEMBER TOUR DATES IN SUPPORT OF NEW ALBUM LET IT SLIDE (OUT SEPT 20/ RPF)


WATCH THE VIDEO FOR FIRST SINGLE “LET IT SLIDE”:

Marco Benevento has announced a run of November shows in support of his new album Let It Slide, out September 20 (RPF). Together with his summer/fall dates already announced he has 25 shows scheduled through November including a headlining show at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn October 24. Marco recently announced his new album and it has already been met with praise from KCRW, Brooklyn Vegan, and a live performance on Adult Swim’s FishCenter.  

Watch “Let It Slide” here, filmed on a VHS camera: https://youtu.be/joFRnBi4f3I

"Bubbling, epigrammatic, free-wheeling" - KCRW, on new single
"Benevento was bridging the gap between indie rock and jam bands way before there were thinkpieces on it" - Brooklyn Vegan
"Throughout his long and acclaimed career, piano virtuoso Marco Benevento has experimented within forms and flipped them from the inside, out" - Metro NY

Let It Slide is the result of a new partnership and fast friendship with Leon Michels (El Michels Affair) who has worked with Dr. John, Dan Auerbach, Charles Bradley, Lee Fields and Mark Ronson. Michels produced the album and recorded it at Diamond Mine Studios in Queens and Benevento’s own Fred Short studio in the Catskills.
Let It Slide features Benevento (Vocals, Piano, Synths, Bass, Percussion), Nick Movshon (Drums, Bass), Leon Michels (Organ, Percussion, Bass, Guitar, Saxophone), Karina Rykman (Vocals and official bassist in Benevento’s touring trio), Andy Borger (Drums on “Solid Gold”) and longtime musical partner Brad Barr (Guitar on “Humanz”).
Benevento has performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall and Newport Jazz to Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo, and worked in the studio and on the road with the likes of Richard Swift (The Shins, The Arcs), Jon Brion (Spoon, Aimee Mann), A.C. Newman (The New Pornographers), and Simone Felice (The Felice Brothers, The Lumineers). He also plays keyboards in Joe Russo’s Almost Dead. "It’s safe to say that no one sees the keyboard quite like Marco Benevento's genre-blind mashup of indie rock, jazz and skewed improvisation," the LA Times has raved, while NPR said he combines "the thrust of rock, the questing of jazz and the experimental ecstasy of jam.”

CHEVELLE Announces Exclusive Craft Beer Collaboration with Revolution Brewing
 
La Gargola Helles Lager Launch Party Announced for August 1, 2019 at Revolution Brewpub
 

 
Multi-platinum alternative rockers and Chicago natives CHEVELLE are thrilled to be teaming up with acclaimed hometown brewery Revolution Brewing for an exclusive craft beer collaboration. The beer, dubbed La Gargola, is a classic German-style Helles Lager and the band's first brewer collaboration.
 
To celebrate, CHEVELLE and Revolution Brewing will be throwing a party at Revolution Brewpub in Chicago (2323 N. Milwaukee Ave.) on Thursday, August 1 - the night before the band's set at Lollapalooza on Friday at 5:45 p.m. Pours of La Gargola will be available, and CHEVELLE will be in attendance.
 
"We are incredibly excited to announce our collaboration beer with Revolution Brewing. We chose a Helles-style Lager because we wanted a beer that was easy-drinking and did not sacrifice taste or quality," CHEVELLE frontman Pete Loeffler says. "Being from the Chicago area, we've been fans of their beers for as long as we can remember. Having the opportunity to work on our own special edition with one of our favorite breweries is a special moment for us."
 
La Gargola was brewed at the original Revolution Brewing Brewpub by Pub Brewer John "Jumpy" Palos after extended discussions about the band's favorite beer styles.
 
"One thing that stuck out to me in talking with Pete and the guys was the comparison between making beer and making music. Finding out what works and what doesn't is almost equally important, just like writing music," Palos said. "It really struck us that a classic beer, influenced by the Reinheitsgebot [the 1516 Bavarian beer purity law] was the perfect fit. This style forces you to dig deeper to find the soul or character of the beer instead of just throwing a bunch of crazy ingredients at it. You build that complexity subtlety, and creatively, with the tools at your disposal - just like the work that goes into a good song."
 
The August 1 La Gargola Helles Lager launch party will run from 9 p.m.-midnight, and is free to attend. More information on the event and beer can be found at https://www.facebook.com/events/452474358927590/.
 
About Revolution Brewing:
Revolution Brewing is the largest independently owned brewery in Illinois, brewing onlyin Chicago between the original brewpub space in Logan Square and a production brewery and taproom in Avondale.
 
For more information on Revolution Brewing, please contact John Carruthers at jcarruthers@revbrew.com.

CHEVELLE is on the road now with multi-platinum headliners Breaking Benjamin! In addition to CHEVELLE, further special guests joining on select dates will include Three Days GraceDorothy and Diamante. Tickets are on sale now via www.LiveNation.com.
