NASHVILLE, TN  (April 2, 2013) —Country supergroup Rascal Flatts announced today that Good Morning America (ABC) will premiere a portion of the new music video for their current critically-acclaimed single, “Changed” on Wednesday, April 3.  The video will air during the 8 AM hour on the No. 1 rated morning show in America.  The video features actor Charles (Chip) Esten, who also stars as “Deacon Claybourne” on ABC’s hit series “NASHVILLE.”

“Changed” is the title track and third single from Flatts’ latest Big Machine Records studio album.  The song is currently Top 20 and rising on the Country radio charts.

In regards to “Changed,” the New York Times said, “it’s a king-size song about modesty and rebaptism.” USA Today expressed “LeVox sings baptism song Changed with charismatic fervor.” And the Associated Press wrote “The title song strips the band's sound down to an earthier core, displaying how rich their harmonies have become.”

“This video treatment best captures the emotion and depth of the lyrics. It tells the story of a man on the brink of despair, who is ultimately saved by the ones around him, who love him the most. In that, he finds the strength to forgive himself,” said Rascal Flatts’ Jay DeMarcus.

Rascal Flatts are fans of “NASHVILLE” and that’s where they got the idea to have Esten star in the video.

“Chip is the consummate pro. He believed in the song and the message and wanted to be a part of it. We thought it would be a long shot to get him now that he's on the huge television show "Nashville" but in the end, after we black-mailed him, he agreed to do it. Seriously, it is an honor to have Chip, and all that he brings to the table attached to this very important video,” said DeMarcus.

The video will be available for viewing in its entirety on ABCNews.com after it appears on GMA. Beginning at 12 PM Eastern on April 3, the video will be available at Vevo.com. The video can be viewed everywhere on April 4.

"NASHVILLE" airs Wednesdays, 10:00-11:00 p.m. ET on the ABC Television Network. Watch full episodes via http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/nashville


RASCAL FLATTS WILL PERFORM AT ST LOUIS on Friday, Aug 16 with Special Guests, The Band Perry. For more information, log on to www.livenation.com
  

THE BAND PERRY BRINGS HISTORY-MAKING CROWD TO HOMETOWN (GREENVILLE, TN) WITH FREE SHOW

NEW ALBUM PIONEER AVAILABLE TODAY

"To know where you are going, 
you have to know where you've been..." 
Nashville, TN - Republic Nashville sibling trio The Band Perry gave a special performance in their hometown of Greeneville, TN, debuting new music from their sophomore album, PIONEER. An estimated crowd of 25,000 took to the streets of the small mountain town to see the famous residents and a chance meeting in the autograph line that stretched nearly a mile down Main Street.  Their new CD, PIONEER, which releases today,  has already hit #1 on the iTunes Country chart!

The history-making crowd boasted approximately 15,000 out of town visitors, who made their way to see "their" band. With an invitation from The Band Perry, via Twitter (can we hyperlink to the tweet?), fans came from all over -- from Florida, Iowa, Texas and even Canada.

The event, which was presented by the Greene County Partnership and sponsored by General Mills and Outnumber Hunger, is believed to be the largest in recorded history in the East Tennessee town.  The Band Perry is among the pioneers putting this quaint town on the map and they were aptly recognized with a Proclamation honoring them, signed by Governor Bill Haslam and presented by State Representative David Hawk.
  
"We are so humbled by the show of support from our hometown, as well as our fans that traveled so many miles - and our neighbors just down the street - to see the show! We had a great time signing CDs for everyone who braved the crisp night air waiting to meet us and say hello. And to have Governor Haslam recognize us as we came home, what an incredible honor," says Neil Perry.

"To have so many people come out and celebrate with us in Greeneville is just amazing. Our hometown has given us a lot and we wanted to do something to give back. I think everybody had a good time, I know that we sure did," says Reid Perry.

"To know where you are going, you have to know where you've been.  We love small towns and embrace the nurturing they provide.  We will be the first to tell you that great things come from humble beginnings.  You don't have to think small just because you are from a small town and we want everyone to know that.  We had a great time performing for our friends in Greeneville this past weekend," says Kimberly Perry.
  
The Band Perry performed their PLATINUM-certified, multi-week #1 lead single "Better Dig Two" on ABC's "Good Morning America" this morning (include link if it's up by the time the release is serviced) and will be featured on ABC's "Nightline" tonight at 11:35P ET/10:35P CT. This Sunday (4/7) the Vocal Group of the Year nominees will perform on the 48th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, airing live from Las Vegas on CBS, and beginning at 8:00P ET.

ABOUT THE BAND PERRY: Siblings Kimberly, Reid and Neil Perry quickly catapulted into the mainstream with the success of their Quadruple-Platinum, breakout hit "If I Die Young." In 2011, the tune took the #1 position on both Country and AC charts as well as earned 2011 CMA Single AND Song of the Year. Their success continued with Platinum-certified "You Lie" and the Gold-certified, #1 smash "All Your Life." The Band Perry has won multiple ACM, CMA and CMT Music Awards as well as GRAMMY, TEEN CHOICE, AMA, ACA and Billboard Music Award nominations.

Judas Priest Celebrates 40 Years Of Heavy Metal Dominance With EPITAPH, 23-Song Live Concert Blu-ray/DVD

CLOSING NIGHT OF "EPITAPH WORLD TOUR" - THE BAND's FINAL WORLD TOUR - RECORDED AT LONDON'S HMV HAMMERSMITH APOLLO IN MAY 2012

BLAZING LIVE VERSIONS OF AT LEAST ONE SONG FROM EACH OF JUDAS PRIEST'S 14 CLASSIC ALBUMS FROM 1974 TO 2008

Blu-ray or separate DVD available everywhere May 28, 2013, through Legacy Recordings

NEW YORK,  --  Judas Priest , the heavy metal legends whose influence on generations of musicians and metalheads is incalculable, celebrate their 40th year as recording artists this year with the release of the live concert EPITAPH .  A unique live career retrospective, EPITAPH will be released on Blu-ray and separate DVD on May 28 th through Legacy Recordings, a division of SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT.  This release precedes a new studio album by Judas Priest which the band are working on now.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20060130/LEGACYLOGO )
Judas Priest's current lineup comprises lead singer Rob Halford, lead guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Scott Travis.
Heavy metal historians will regard EPITAPH as the most far-reaching live concert recording in the band's career.  The set revisits the climactic closing date of the 50-week "Epitaph World Tour," captured live at London's HMV Hammersmith Apollo on May 26, 2012.  Adding to the drama is the fact that this was Judas Priest's final large-scale world tour ever.  EPITAPH 's 23 tracks represent at least one song from every one of the band's 14 studio albums, from 1974's Rocka Rolla ("Never Satisfied") to 2008's Nostradamus ("Prophecy").
In the special case of British Steel , four songs are featured: "Rapid Fire," "Metal Gods," "Breaking The Law," and perennial set closer, "Living After Midnight."  Others exempted from the one-song-quota are the LPs which appeared before and after British Steel .  The first of these is 1979's Hell Bent For Leather (UK title: Killing Machine ) which lends the title song as well as "The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown)." The other LP is 1982's Screaming For Vengeance , source of "The Hellion," "Electric Eye," and "You've Got Another Thing Coming."
"They have epitomized the genre with their Harley riding frontman, rapid-fire guitar assaults, and spectacular stage shows," wrote journalist Bryan Reesman in his liner notes for 2004's leather-bound, metal-spiked Metalogy box set.  "Influential, innovative, and exuberant in expression," he wrote, "they are the true Metal Gods who have been as unwavering in their desire to expand the boundaries of their music as they have been in crossing international borders to deliver it to their disciples."
"Unabashedly committed to their cause, and unrepentant in proclaiming themselves a true heavy metal band even when others have shied away from the term, Judas Priest have forever been defenders of the faith."

Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson Announces the 
THICK AS A BRICK Tour in 2013


 
Ian Anderson Performs at Peabody Opera House July 14 at 7:30pm
 
Tickets Go On Sale Friday, April 5th at 10am for St. Louis
 

Ian Anderson will be performing both his composition THICK AS A BRICK in its entirety for the first time since 1972, and his new album, THICK AS A BRICK 2 for a world tour, which began April, 2012, in the UK.  Tickets for the July 14th St. Louis show at Peabody Opera House go on sale Friday, April 5th at 10am at the Ford Box Office at Scottrade Center, all Ticketmaster outlets, online at www.ticketmaster.com or call 800-745-3000.  Tickets purchased through phone, outlets and internet are subject to additional service charges. Prices are $92, $47, $42, and $32.  
 

This tour will feature a more theatrical production with video and additional musicians, including Ian's band: bassist David Goodier, keyboardist John O'Hara, drummer Scott Hammond, and wunderkind guitarist Florian Opahle-- all of whom have performed with Ian on his solo dates over the years as well as having performed at various times as members of Jethro Tull. British singer Ryan O'Donnell, who has been active in the UK theatrical scene will also be singing.  Ian added the young performer as he wants to perform vocals and instrument parts as they appeared on the original THICK AS A BRICK.

Ian's new album, THICK AS A BRICK 2 (TAAB2) also features David, John, Scott, and Florian. It was produced by Ian Anderson and mixed by Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson (who also re-mixed Jethro Tull's AQUALUNG-Special Edition, released this past fall.)

TAAB2 answers the question 40 years later, whatever happened to Gerald Bostock (the person credited with writing the lyrics for THICK AS A BRICK, which hit number one on the US Billboard Pop Albums chart. With the first THICK AS A BRICK, Jethro Tull broadened rock beyond the limitations of the short song format).  Ian Anderson says  “Part two” gave him a chance to wonder, “how we baby-boomers look back on our own lives, and often feel an occasional 'what-if' moment. Might we, like Gerald, have become instead preacher, soldier, down-and-out, shopkeeper or finance tycoon?”

Since 1972, the original THICK AS A BRICK has never been performed in its entirety although a few minutes of the material have been a regular repertoire staple in both Tull and IA solo shows over the years.

After 45 years of leading Tull to 54 countries worldwide and over 60 million albums sold, Ian Anderson celebrates these true progressive rock classics with old and new fans across world-wide. Ian is known as the flute, voice and composer of the legendary Jethro Tull which formed in England in 1968. Since their first performance at London's famous Marquee Club in 1968, the band has released 30 studio and live albums and earned a prominent place in rock history.

Continuing a Honda Civic Tour tradition, Honda will present fans with an opportunity to check out one-of-a-kind vehicles that have been customized and autographed by the headlining bands. Maroon 5’s vehicle will be on display at each tour stop.
“We are very excited to team up with the Honda Civic Tour,” said Adam Levine. “Kelly, PJ, Rozzi and Tony are all such unique and amazing artists. I’m really looking forward to hitting the road with them. Each night will be a great night of music.”
"We are pleased to welcome Maroon 5 to the Honda Civic Tour stage," said Michael Accavitti, senior vice president of auto operations for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Now in its 12th year and arguably the biggest year in the Civic Tour's history, it’s another great opportunity to bring music and Civic fans together."
