Sammy Hagar & The Circle have quickly established themselves as one of the most emphatic and exciting live acts on tour today, seamlessly ripping through career-spanning hits from Montrose, Van Halen, Sammy’s solo career, as well as the band’s hit debut studio album, Space Between, which scored them the #1 Rock Album and #4 overall album on the Billboard 200 in 2019. Setlists include hits like, “There’s Only One Way To Rock”, “Finish What Ya Started”, “Mas Tequila”, “I Can’t Drive 55”, “Can’t Hang”, “Rock Candy”, “Right Now” and many more. “I love some friendly competition on stage and that’s exactly what this is going to be,” said Sammy Hagar. “David and I have nothing but the highest respect for one another, but we would also like to blow the other guy off the stage!

Add in Night Ranger and the fans will have one hell of a night of music.” Whitesnake, the platinum-selling hard rock hitmakers led by David Coverdale, boasts a catalogue of powerful hard rock and chart-topping power ballads that spans the decades with seminal and anthemic hits such as “Here I Go Again”, “Still of the Night”, “Fool for Your Loving”, and “Is This Love” to name a few. “The Red Rocker & The Snake???

OMG...I wanna see that show myself!!!,” said David Coverdale of Whitesnake. “I’m a big fan of Sammy Hagar, Michael, Vic & Jason...We’re gonna have a blast together !! See Y’All There, People!!!”

Night Ranger have earned widespread acclaim that includes multi-platinum and gold album status, fueled by an impressive string of instantly recognizable hits, including "Sister Christian", "Don't Tell Me You Love Me", "When You Close Your Eyes", the anthemic "(You Can Still) Rock In America", along with "Sentimental Street", "Goodbye", "Sing Me Away", and "Four in the Morning." “Night Ranger is pumped to be on the tour with Sammy and Whitesnake. Night Ranger’s first tour was with Sammy, and the two Whitesnake guitarists Reb and Joel have both played in Night Ranger,” said Night Ranger. “This gives the tour and ‘The Circle’ even more meaning to us! You can still rock in America for sure.”

DISTURBED CONFIRM 31‐DATE THE SICKNESS 20TH ANNIVERSARY AMPHITHEATER TOUR WITH VERY SPECIAL GUEST STAIND AND BAD WOLVES 
DEBUT NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR 
“HOLD ON TO MEMORIES” 
This morning, two‐time Grammy nominated and multi‐platinum band, Disturbed confirm their extensive 31‐date The Sickness 20th Anniversary Tour throughout North America, co‐produced by Frank Productions and Live Nation.

The amphitheater tour, with very special guest Staind and Bad Wolves, celebrates the two‐decade anniversary of the band’s seminal album, The Sickness. On this tour, the band will perform songs off the album, as well as tracks from their most recent studio release, Evolution, and their extensive catalog. The Sickness 20th Anniversary Tour will run from mid‐July through mid‐September, with dates in cities including Tampa, Toronto, Cincinnati, Phoenix, Irvine and St. Louis (full dates below).

Tickets will go on sale Friday, Jan. 31 at 10am local time (with the exception of the Rogers, AR show which will go on‐sale at 12pm local time) here. Select presales will begin Tuesday, Jan. 28. Special VIP, meet & greet, and merch bundle packages are available for all dates ‐ more info HERE. Disturbed’s tour will also be a part of Ticket to Rock 2020, an exclusive ticket package at select Live Nation amphitheaters across the country—additional details to be announced, for more info: tickettorock.livenation.com

Disturbed also share a new music video for “Hold on to Memories” directed by Matt Mahurin, who also directed their “Sound of Silence” music video. The video is inspired by the Mexican holiday “Día de Muertos,” a day of remembrance and celebration of loved ones who have passed, with which it shares the sentiment that as long as we keep their memories with us, a piece of them is still alive. Watch the music video for “Hold on to Memories” here. 

The band previously shared their live video for “Hold on to Memories,” directed by Rafa Alcantara. The video captures a moment during Disturbed’s live show where the band perform alongside a video collage of their favorite memories, with photos and videos of their friends and families, both here and gone. Watch the live video for “Hold on to Memories” here.

Disturbed have continued their record‐breaking streak at rock radio, claiming the title of “2019’s Most Played Artists” in the Active Rock format. The band earned their seventh consecutive #1 on the Mediabase Active Rock Chart and Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs Chart with their latest single “No More,” an achievement unmatched by any artist in history. Disturbed have earned ten #1 singles on the chart, including “A Reason To Fight,” the track that initially broke the record earlier this year. “No More” is the third top‐charting single from the band’s #1 album, Evolution (Reprise Records).

About Disturbed: Simply put, DISTURBED are one of the most successful rock bands in modern history. The multiplatinum‐selling quartet accomplished the rare feat of achieving five consecutive number one debuts on the Billboard Top 200. That accolade historically elevated them to rarified air alongside Metallica, the only other hard rock group to do so in the history of the chart.  Immortalized (2015) received a platinum certification and spawned the triple‐platinum crossover smash “The Sound of Silence,” which garnered a nomination at the 2017 GRAMMY® Awards in the category of “Best Rock Performance.” Since their formation in 1996, the band has sold 16 million albums globally and scored twelve No. 1 singles at Active Rock Radio. Their quadruple‐platinum 2000 debut, The Sickness, formally announced their arrival as hard rock leaders, with that status solidified by subsequent GRAMMY® Award nominations as well as gold‐, platinum‐ and double platinum‐certified records, as well as countless sold‐out shows around the globe.  Named “Best Rock Artist” during the 2017 iHeartRadioMusic Awards, Disturbed continue to boldly forge ahead with the release of their aptly titled seventh offering, Evolution.

About STAIND: Aaron Lewis, Mike Mushok, Johnny April and Jon Wysocki formed Staind in 1995,in their hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts. Over the course of their career, the band released seven studio albums and eight Top 10 singles, selling over 15 million albums worldwide. Break The Cycle, released in 2001 and RIAA certified 5x platinum, featured the smash single, “It’s Been A While,” one of the most played songs in modern rock radio history, spending 20 weeks at Number 1. Staind is currently comprised of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Aaron Lewis, lead guitarist Mike Mushok, bassist and backing vocalist Johnny April, and drummer Sal Giancarelli. This year STAIND reunited for a few select dates, after a five‐year hiatus. www.staind.com. 

About Bad Wolves: Bad Wolves consists of vocalist Tommy Vext (ex‐Divine Heresy), drummer John Boecklin (ex‐ Devil Driver), guitarist Doc Coyle (Vagus Nerve, ex‐God Forbid), guitarist Chris Cain (Bury Your                Dead) and bassist Kyle Konkiel (ex‐In This Moment). They released their debut album, Disobey (May 2018), via Better Noise Music, which reached #22 on the Billboard Top 200, #2 on the Hard Rock Chart, #4 on Rock, and #8 on the Top Current Albums Chart. Their global breakout single, “Zombie,” is certified Platinum in the U.S. and Sweden, double Platinum in Canada, Gold in Australia and IMPALA Diamond in Europe. The track has topped‐charts worldwide, including the U.S. iTunes Overall and Rock charts, Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs chart, Spotify’s Global Viral 50 chart, while also reigning atop the Active Rock radio chart for three straight weeks. The album yielded the follow‐up tracks “Hear Me Now,” featuring Diamante, and the soaring ballad “Remember When,” which both reached #1 at Active Rock Radio. The official music video for “Zombie,” a tribute to the late singer Dolores O’Riordan of The Cranberries and an homage to the original, has garnered over 255 million views across platforms. On June 19th, 2018, Bad Wolves presented a $250,000 check to Dolores O’Riordan’s four children, with a continued promise to donate all of their royalties from the song to them.  In 2019, they continued that momentum with their sophomore album, N.A.T.I.O.N. which came in at #1 upon its release on the Top Hard Rock, Current Hard Rock and Billboard Hard Rock charts. The single “Killing Me Slowly” recently hit #1 to make it 4 consecutive #1 songs for the band at Active Rock Radio.


BRANTLEY GILBERT SPOTLIGHTS LOCAL FARMER HEROES AS
FIRE’T UP TOUR KICKS OFF


Georgia Native Partners with Farmer Veteran Coalition & Musically Fed to Create Tour Catering Experience That Celebrates the Local Communities
Watch the video featuring members of Farmer Veteran Coalition set to Gilbert’s “Tough Town” HERE.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As hard-rocking country singer-songwriter Brantley Gilbert hits the road on his Fire’t Up Tourhe’s challenged his team to reimagine every element – including what fans don’t see, behind the scenes. As America’s heartland struggles to find its footing, Gilbert is partnering with Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) to purchase a selection of products for catering on each concert stop, spotlighting the value locally sourced meats, dairy and produce can make on each community. Alignment with FVC is a natural extension for Gilbert given the longstanding support the superstar has shown for men & women in uniform. Charged with curating farming’s next generation via mentorship of returning military veterans, the spirit of FVC is displayed HERE in a video set to “Tough Town,” an album track from Gilbert’s new album Fire & Brimstone.

“I still live in the town where I grew up, and I know that excitement for a show doesn’t start when doors open, it has the power to rally the community well ahead of when we show up to load-in and soundcheck,” shares Gilbert. “Our goal is to help boost local economies, showcase the best foods from the region and spend a bit of time thanking these great folks for all they do.”

A first for a Country music tour, Gilbert’s tour catering partner, Taste Event, will work with local farmers in 25 cities-and-counting on his 2020 tour to create a farm-to-catering approach for the tour's footprint. Farmers, and their families, furnishing the food are invited to share their stories, dine with the tour, meet Gilbert and stay for the show.

“We hear on a regular basis from our veteran members how farming has meaning beyond a livelihood,” relayed Michael O’Gorman, founder and Executive Director of FVC. “Brantley Gilbert’s historic support of veterans is what’s so great about this fit – the veterans are really looking for a purpose and a place when they exit the military, and agriculture offers them this purpose and opportunity, with both a physical and psychological benefit. And America’s farming community just happens to really need them.”

Bringing things full circle on tour, Gilbert is also associating with Musically Fed, a non-profit that distributes excess food each night to organizations tackling hunger in each market.

“Musically Fed is honored to be a partner with Brantley Gilbert on his Fire't Up 2020 Tour and Farmer Veteran Coalition. What a great way to be associated with and working alongside veterans to serve these communities in ways that will benefit many,” says Insight Management’s Maria Brunner, Founder of Musically Fed. “Our goal is to leave a footprint for it to continue. Special thanks to Brantley Gilbert and his entire team."

Gilbert, one of the few country artists to have back-to-back Platinum albums this century, borrowed the title of his latest single “Fire’t Up” to brand his current tour, which kicked off Jan. 23 with two shows in Canada, followed by 32 cities in the U.S. Joining Gilbert on the road will be special guests 
Chase RiceDylan Scott and Brandon Lay. For more details on the tour, visit BrantleyGilbert.com

About Brantley Gilbert
With back-to-back Platinum albums and a grassroots following millions strong, Brantley Gilbert has clearly struck a nerve. The Georgia native who started as the defiant life-of-the-party can still go ‘til sunrise, but he’s also emerged as something far greater: the leader of a massive tribe of hard-working, fun-loving believers for whom electric guitar-shredding, rapping, and twang can go hand-in-hand-in-hand. They call themselves the BG Nation, and when the BG Nation watches Gilbert on a stage, they don’t just see a star. They see themselves. Seven No. 1 hits punctuate his career: “Country Must be Country Wide,” “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do,” CMA Awards Song of the Year nominee “Dirt Road Anthem,” “My Kinda Party,” “Bottoms Up,” “One Hell of an Amen” and collaboration with Lindsay Ell “What Happens In A Small Town.” Gilbert’s landmark record Just As I Am clinched the 2014 American Music Award for Favorite Country Album. Earning praise from the New York TimesNPRAmerican Songwriter, and more, Gilbert has mined a rich vein of conflict between the party and the pew on all of his albums. Instead of toiling in limbo, unable to enjoy good times for fear of Judgment Day, Gilbert fully lives––rowdy friend, man of faith, devoted husband, smitten new father––just as he is. Fire & Brimstone, out now (10/4/19) via The Valory Music Co., is Gilbert’s most mature and complex exploration of his world to date. Gilbert embarks on his Fire’t Up Tour 2020 on January 23 in London, Canada with special guests Chase Rice, Dylan Scott and Brandon Lay. For additional information, visit 
BrantleyGilbert.com or follow him on Instagram and Twitter at @BrantleyGilbert and on Facebook @BrantleyGilbertMusic.

About Farmer Veteran Coalition
The mission of Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) is mobilizing veterans to feed America. A national non-profit charity, it helps veterans pursue careers in farming or related agricultural professions. Representing more than 18,000 veteran members, FVC fosters the collaboration of farming and military communities and cultivates a new generation of farmers and food leaders throughout the country. They support the men and women who choose to continue their service to the country – once by defending it and now by feeding it. Rooted in their strong belief that veterans possess the unique skills and character needed to strengthen rural communities and create sustainable food systems, FVC recognizes that agriculture additionally offers veterans purpose, opportunity, and physical and psychological benefits.

In addition to their signature programs – the Farmer Veteran Fellowship Fund, Homegrown by Heroes certification, and both their National Conference and regional state chapter conferences – FVC has been successful in getting millions of dollars of USDA funds appropriated for farmer veterans and the groups that support them. They have built an extended community of organizations who look to them for leadership and guidance as the pioneer in this military-to-agriculture movement.

About Musically Fed
The mission of Musically Fed is to mobilize the music industry in the fight against hunger. We work with artists, promoters, management, and venues nationwide to donate unused, backstage meals to community organizations that feed the homeless, hungry, and food insecure. Musically Fed identifies the opportunities, procures the resources, and coordinates all aspects of food handling, transport, and distribution. Our daily goal is to make it easy for promoters and performers to leave each city they visit with a lasting positive impact. Over the past four years, our Phoenix-based non-profit has provided meals to thousands in need across America. In 2019 alone, Musically Fed collaborated with national tours that included the Zac Brown BandShawn MendesKenny ChesneyFleetwood MacElton John, and is proud to have been invited to partner with Brantley Gilbert on his Fire't Up 2020 Tour. Learn more at

NEW YEAR, NEW MUSIC
KENNY CHESNEY HITS THE STUDIO, TWEAKING UPCOMING PROJECT
Kenny Chesney | Photo Credit: Jill Trunnell 
Nashville, Tenn. — Kenny Chesney never stops looking for, listening to and working on songs. Starting his career as a songwriter at legendary Acuff Rose Publishing, he understands the power of great songs to connect people to their own lives. It’s why he holds the record for Billboard’s Most Career Country #1s, and it’s why “Get Along” from the deeply personal Songs for the Saints spent two weeks at the top of the charts and garnered over  2.5 billion views anchoring a PassItOn.org PSA.

With his 2019 year’s tour focusing on the markets often missed in the stadium-sized treks that have made him the only country artist on Pollstar’s Top Touring Acts of the Last 25 Years, the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar spent a lot of time quietly making music, working on songs and recording as the spirit moved him. A seriously creative time, Chesney wanted to dig deeper into the realm of No Shoes Nation, seeking ballads that expanded the horizon and tempo that does what only Kenny can.

“One of the hardest things about being this far into a career isn’t keeping up with what other people are doing,” says the quiet superstar, “but telling your own truth in a way that’s not repeating yourself, that’s not just doing what you know works. I know there are certain things I respond to: songs that rock you hard, lyrics that twist without being too clever, ballads that open up your soul and make you think.

“It sounds easy, until you try to actually do it. But the best part about songwriting and getting in the studio is that music always surprises you – if you stay open, keep listening and let it show you where it wants to go. I think we’re dialing in a pretty cool record, that’s not just me, but every single person who’s a member of No Shoes Nation.

“There really is no better compass than No Shoes Nation,” continues the man who sold 1.3 million tickets last year alone. “They have more heart, more passion, more love of life – and if I can be true to them, then I feel like we got it.”

Recorded over the last 18 months in Nashville, Key West, Malibu and on the road, Chesney’s creativity went off the clock and into the world of inspiration. “Rather than just churn out a record, because it was time, I wanted to give myself the opportunity to just get inside the music. I’m always looking and listening, and this time getting to record in the moment over the course of many, many months was incredible.”

No word on when, album title, or how many tracks, but as he gears up for rehearsals for Chillaxification 2020, Kenny Chesney seems to be getting ready to finish his first full-on album for Warner Music Nashville. With the road wide open, tickets flying and a new year ahead, “I’m ready to get the next wave of my life on in full. I can’t wait for people to hear some of these songs – and see them everywhere across the No Shoes Nation.”

GOO GOO DOLLS DEBUT 
NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR "LOST"

WATCH NOW HERE

Goo Goo Dolls ("Lost" Single Artwork Courtesy of Warner Records)

January 23, 2020 (Los Angeles, CA) - Multi-platinum, four-time GRAMMY-nominated rock band Goo Goo Dolls have debuted a brand new music video for their song "Lost" today. Directed by Joelle Grace Taylor, the stunningly-filmed piece follows a person on their journey of self-discovery. Watch the video now HERE.
"The song reminds me that we all make mistakes and lose the plot of our own stories sometimes," says lead singer John Rzeznik. "We get distracted with the cheap, shiny, sights and sounds of a world in disarray but ultimately, we find where we need to be if we keep our eyes open for what really matters.

"Lost" is taken from Goo Goo Dolls' brand new 12th studio album Miracle Pill [Warner Records], which arrived in Fall 2019. The record was described as "potentially the biggest Dolls album released to date [Planet Rock]", as well as one that "easily stands alongside the best of their career [PopMatters]." The engaging and timely album also features numerous other instant-classics such as the smash single "Miracle Pill", "Indestructible", "Autumn Leaves", and the massive pop anthem "Fearless", which was added to the LA Dodgers in-stadium playlist last season.

With an upcoming February UK tour and more US dates on the horizon, the band is set to kick of 2020 with a bang. For information on all of the band's upcoming tour dates, visit their website HERE.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The genre-bending band Esquire calls “the real damn deal” celebrate their first Top 20 at Active Rock Radio this week with independent release “Gasoline.”

Celebrated by Sounds Like Nashville as “gospel inflected country metal... full of explosive attitude and featuring a mean streak a mile wide,” the track is featured on Whiskey Myers’ self-titled and self-produced September 2019 album. Released independently on the band’s own Wiggy Thump Records in partnership with 888 and Thirty Tigers, 
WHISKEY MYERS earned a No. 1 debut spot on both the Country and Americana/Folk charts, also landing as the No. 2 Rock album, No. 6 on the all-genre Billboard 200 and No. 4 among new releases.

"Self-producing was especially fun on this song,” shares lead singer Cody Cannon, who penned the track. "We got to really push the limits to find a sound that matches the song's message of working hard even when things don't go your way and not letting anyone or anything bring you down. Hopefully people can relate to that and really feel something when they hear it."

The road-tested band – whose 2019 touring schedule featured 130 shows (including a 15-date/8-country European run), an at-capacity Stagecoach Festival set and a massive stadium show with The Rolling Stones – also kick off 2020 with 100% sell-outs at all headlining shows thus far.
