Coinciding with springtime, TOMMY EMMANUEL has today (March 21) released the single and video “Windy and Warm” from his album LIVE AT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE (C.G.P. Sounds), which also has been issued today. Watch the live performance video of the evocative instrumental track, beautifully filmed by Bondi Rocks Media at the Sydney Opera House in his native Australia, HERE. Stream the album HERE.

TOMMY EMMANUEL is an acoustic guitarist extraordinaire, composer, global touring artist, and Grammy® Award winner. He’s also one of five people ever to be named a C.G.P. (Certified Guitar Player) by Chet Atkins, the great innovator, songwriter, producer, record company executive, and visionary.

“‘Windy & Warm’ was the first song I heard by Chet Atkins, and the very first song I learned in thumb and fingerstyle,” says TOMMY. “It was the song that everybody wanted to play but had so much trouble trying to play it. It’s a timeless classic with elements of blues, jazz, and country fused together into an irresistible cocktail of groove!

“With this recording at The Sydney Opera House, I decided to recut this classic song in a much more traditional style, because I messed with it before making it funky and jazzier, so I took it back home! John D. Loudermilk wrote this song especially for Chet to record.”

Also, look for the film LIVE AT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE streaming exclusively on TOMMY’s website. This film features performance highlights from his sold-out residency at the Sydney Opera House plus a visit to the Maton Guitar Factory, a cruise on Sydney Harbor, and much more. Watch it HERE.

Meanwhile, watch the album’s live performance videos for the first three singles including “The Jolly Swagman,” “Gdansk/Tall Fiddler,” and “Secret Love.”

EMMANUEL is no stranger to iconic stages from Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium to London’s Royal Festival Hall and Paris’ L’Olympia. The legendary entertainer has dazzled audiences across the world. But there’s something truly magical about the Sydney Opera House, and the magic of his sold-out performances there has finally been captured on this new EMMANUEL-produced album. It features 16 tracks, four of which are medleys, including his famous “Beatles Medley” (a previous live version of this has been viewed more than 2 million times on YouTube).

“The moment and power in these hours spent playing music, is perfectly preserved here on this record,” says TOMMY. “I hope you can feel the intensity of our musical and spiritual relationship… a bond built on a life freely given to all.”

He played two spellbinding shows on the Concert Hall stage in May 2023, with the best of both performances represented here. The setlist showcases the most beloved songs of TOMMY’s career—classic compositions like “Tall Fiddler,” “Mombasa,” and “Country Wide,” recent fan favorites like “Fuel” and “Sail On,” his now iconic arrangement of “Classical Gas,” and his thrilling “Beatles Medley.”

“As a 15-year-old boy living in Circular Quay, I spent many a time walking past the Opera House,” he says. “I would daydream about what it must be like in there, what it would be like to perform there. After fifty years in the business, we finally got there!”

“Playing the shows for this recording was a dream come true for me,” TOMMY adds. “I felt so ready! I was surrounded by my team of brilliant people, and I was looking into the faces of so many loving and happy fans in the concert Hall. The momentum and power in these hours spent playing music, is perfectly captured and preserved here on this record. I hope you can feel the intensity of our musical and spiritual relationship…a bond built on a life freely given to all.”

A noted fingerstyle guitarist, EMMANUEL frequently threads three different parts simultaneously into his material, operating as a one-man band who handles the melody, the supporting chords and the bass all at once. You can hear his wizardry captured brilliantly on LIVE AT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE.

ABOUT TOMMY EMMANUEL:

TOMMY EMMANUEL has achieved enough musical milestones to satisfy several lifetimes. At the age of six, the Grammy® Award winner was touring regional Australia with his family band. By 30, he was a rock n’ roll lead guitarist burning up stadiums in Europe. At 44, he became one of five people ever named a C.P.G. (Certified Guitar Player) by his idol, music icon Chet Atkins. Today, he plays hundreds of sold-out shows every year from Nashville to Sydney to London. He’s piled up numerous accolades, including two Grammy Award nominations, two ARIA Awards from the Australian Recording Industry Association (the Aussie equivalent of the Recording Academy); repeated honors in the Guitar Player magazine reader’s poll including a cover story for their August 2017 issue; a cover feature for Vintage Guitar’s July 2020 issue; and was Music Radar’s reader’s poll #1 winner of the Ten Best Acoustic Guitarists in The World (December 2019). He has also earned the “Lifetime Achievement” Award from The National GUITAR Museum. A noted fingerstyle guitarist, EMMANUEL frequently threads three different parts simultaneously into his material, operating as a one-man band who handles the melody, the supporting chords and the bass all at once. His talents, which translate in any language, carry him to the far corners of the globe, but EMMANUEL never plays the same show twice, and he improvises big chunks of every date. That leaves him open to those technical imperfections, though they also provide some of the humanity to an other-worldly talent.

Emo rock revivalists THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT—Lee Jennings (Vocals), Cody Weissinger (Guitar), Caleb Freihaut (Guitar/Auxiliary), Robert Weston (Bass), and Homer Umbanhowar (Drums)—today (March 21) have unveiled the strikingly cinematic video for “Holy Water.” Watch THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT with Ivan Moody, lead singer of Five Finger Death Punch, in the video HERE and listen to the song HERE.

“Holy Water” features Moody’s powerful and distinctively rugged guest vocals and is taken from the deluxe edition of THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s critically acclaimed second album GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY, out June 13 via Better Noise Music. “Holy Water” debuted at #21 on Billboard’s “Mainstream Rock Tracks” chart at #21 and is now positioned at #14.

“Holy Water” is brought to life in a gothic-style video directed by Michael Lombardi of Better Noise Films, an affiliate of Better Noise Music. The video’s narrative outlines the origin of how singer Lee Jennings got his power to ignite the souls of fans around the world. “We filmed Ivan Moody deep in the desert of Prescott, Arizona on top of a thousand-foot canyon,” says Lombardi. “We then had to shoot THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT on a day off between shows in Philadelphia and New York City. This created a challenge in finding the epic gothic-style church location I needed. After scouting several locations, I ended up finding a phenomenal old and abandoned church in the Poconos in Pennsylvania.”

“Filming the ‘Holy Water’ music video was an absolutely insane experience,” declares singer Lee Jennings. “The production was on another level—every detail, every shot, just completely unreal. Michael Lombardi brought a vision to this that was bigger than we ever imagined, turning it into a full-on cinematic experience. And having Ivan Moody be a part of it? That was next level. His energy and presence took everything to a whole new dimension. We can’t wait for everyone to see what we created—it’s dark, intense, and something truly special.”

Pre-orders for the digital, CD and vinyl copies of the deluxe edition of GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY are available here. The digital deluxe collection will include 24 songs, including “Holy Water” feat. Ivan Moody, songs from the CASSANOVA EP and the FROM BEYOND THE ABYSS EP, as well as the recently released version of “Hearse for Two” feat. Lilith Czar and three brand new songs, “Skinny Lies,” “Evergreen,” and “Lost Boy.” The vinyl and CD two-disc deluxe packages feature 21 tracks, one of which is exclusive to the physical formats (“Friends Like These”).

“‘Holy Water’ has always been one of the most personal and cathartic songs I’ve ever written,” explains THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s Lee Jennings. “It’s about confronting your darkest moments and finding the strength to cleanse yourself of the weight they carry. Seeing the connection it’s made with fans, especially during our live shows, has been beyond powerful—watching the crowd scream the lyrics back at us is proof that music really can heal. Having Ivan Moody join us on this track took it to another level. His energy, passion, and personal story made him the perfect voice to help tell this chapter, and we couldn’t be more honored to have him be part of it.”

“Before our tour together, I wasn’t too familiar with The Funeral Portrait’s music, so I didn’t know what to expect,” says Ivan Moody. “But after watching them night after night, seeing how they commanded the stage and connected with the crowd, I was absolutely hooked. The passion, intensity, and raw emotion they bring to their performances make them one of the most exciting new bands out there. And Lee’s voice? Absolutely incredible—one of my favorite new singers! We had talked about collaborating before the tour, but the timing never worked out. Then, while speeding down the highway, I heard ‘Holy Water’ on the radio and couldn’t help but sing along. What an amazing track! It immediately brought back the idea of working together, so I hit up Lee about the possibility of me redoing the song with them. Luckily, he was all in—and here we are….the rest is history.”

“Holy Water” was described by MetalPlanetMusic.com in a September 8, 2024 review as “a full-on arena anthem sound that hits straight between the ears. The beat is hard and uncompromising, with the dual guitar riffs forcing the emotion down your throat. The choral harmony during the bridge gives the track a ‘it’s our song, and we’re going to do what the fuck we want to’ vibe. It’s a real monster of a track.”

GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY, released September 13, 2024 via Better Noise Music, consists of 14 tracks of theatrical, dramatic, unapologetic, full-throated flair with guest appearances from Bert McCracken of The Used, Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, and Amanda Lyberg of Eva Under Fire.

The band recently wrapped up a nationwide trek with Catch Your Breath & Archers, and they’ll soon head out for a handful of shows with Underoath (April 14-16). Next comes a new tour with Ice Nine Kills starting April 30, as well as appearances as part of the Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach, CA on July 26 and 27, and the Louder Than Life, Rocklahoma, Welcome To Rockville, and Rock Fest summer festivals.

“Tash has found a sound that is so unapologetically theirs.”
–CLASH

“The musical range of Tash Sultana knows no bounds. Their reggae-folk inspired sound is hypnotic”
—Sydney Morning Herald

“Tash Sultana is one of Australia’s most interesting songwriters.”
—The Music

“embraces all sounds but maintains a delicate vulnerability”
—NME

“Sultana’s prodigious work ethic is warrant of praise by itself”
–Consequence of Sound

A decade into their evolution, multi-instrumentalist, engineer, producer, and entrepreneur TASH SULTANA weaves nostalgia with newfound wisdom, as they reveal their forthcoming EP RETURN TO THE ROOTS out Friday, May 30.

Today TASH unveils the full tracklist for the EP, featuring a powerful collaboration with City and Colour. This standout track brings together two masterful storytellers, blending their distinct styles with deep mutual respect.

The original version of this song is one of the oldest TASH has written and inspired by artists like Jeff Buckley, Bon Iver, and City and Colour. It was only fitting that when reworking the track, City and Colour became part of the journey. When City and Colour announced an Australian tour, TASH reached out, the teams connected, and the song naturally fell into place.

“The song was meant for us, TASH says. “We instantly understood each other and it was a completely natural fit.”

The EP also features the fan-favourite “Kiss The Sky,” a track that first set the internet buzzing when TASH teased it in 2023 via Instagram. Resurfacing on TikTok this year, the teaser videos have received over 3.5 million views, instantly cementing its status as a must-hear anthem.

First taste of the EP and opening track “Milk & Honey” marked a bold return to their roots as a looper, while the most recent release “Hold On” reaches deep emotional depths, dedicated to their wife after being diagnosed with cancer at the end of last year.

“My partner went through hell because of medical malpractice,” TASH explains. “A tumor left undetected. Surgery on the wrong thing. A second operation. Twice the recovery time. And we still don’t have answers. If you’ve ever been failed by the system—misdiagnosed, ignored, or left without answers—this song is for you.”

The brand-new EP is a raw, unfiltered dive back into the heart of their artistry. Stripping away the pressure of commercial success, this six-track collection rekindles the spirit of spontaneous creation—the very essence that first ignited their career.

Building on the success of the first single, “Milk & Honey”—which earned rotation on triple j, topped the AMRAP Metro Charts, received praise from Rolling Stone (Australia), and landed on key DSP playlists like Spotify’s The Local List and Apple’s Heaps Indie—latest release “Hold On” continues that momentum with support from triple j, DSP playlisting across Spotify’s Pop’N’Fresh and Apple’s New in Indie, and online love from The Music, Rolling Stone and AU Review.

Fresh from selling out Red Rocks in minutes. TASH SULTANA has recently announced a massive 2025 U.S. tour. Bringing their signature electrifying energy and genre-blurring sound to fans nationwide, this tour is set to be nothing short of unforgettable. Tickets are available now via tashsultana.com

With a career spanning over a decade, TASH SULTANA’s accomplishments speak volumes: selling out shows at global arenas and iconic venues, headlining major festivals, 15 ARIA nominations, and the 2023 Rolling Stone (Australia) Global Artist Award. Yet, for TASH, the journey is far from over. With their unwavering drive to push creative boundaries and a focus on building a broader legacy as an entrepreneur and mentor, TASH continues to shape the industry on their own terms.

RETURN TO THE ROOTS is a fearless declaration of resilience, reinvention, and the boundless power of self-expression.

THE MIRACLES: Tour Dates Confirmed For 2025

DATE: MARCH 12, 2025

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN

THE MIRACLES
CONTINUE 2025
TOUR WITH MARCH SHOWS
GROUP TO ALSO HOST FOUR NIGHT RESIDENCY
IN SEATTLE THIS MAY

THE MIRACLES continue to tour America treating audiences to the esteemed catalogue of one of world’s most well-known and legendary acts. The current lineup—Sydney Justin, Cordell Conway, Kerry Justin, and Eric Swindell—will perform shows later this month before a four-night residency in Seattle in May. THE MIRACLES’ sets include such legendary songs as “Shop Around,” “The Tracks of My Tears,” “Tears of a Clown,” “I Second That Emotion,” “Ooh, Baby Baby,” and many more.

Founded by Motown legends Smokey Robinson and Claudette Robinson, The Miracles produced an amazing 26 Top 40 songs, four of which are in the Grammy Hall of Fame. The group has performed in its current iteration for more than 30 years. In that time, The Miracles–with lead singer, Sydney Justin–have performed on television (The Today Show, Good Morning America), in Las Vegas (The Rio, Stardust, the Fremont Street Experience), at Constitution Hall in Washington DC, and on stages all over the world. THE MIRACLES continue to record, including a greatest hits album, a live disc, and a holiday album of Christmas classics, plus two original songs.

“The most surprising thing in my career has definitely been the incredible journey of playing in the NFL Super Bowl and then stepping into Smokey Robinson’s shoes in The Miracles,” SYDNEY JUSTIN says. “As an athlete, the transition to music seemed like an impossible shift, yet it felt like fate. Getting to replace someone as iconic as Smokey, who had such a distinct voice and influence, was a huge challenge, but it also opened up a whole new world to me. Balancing both careers was unexpected, but the experiences from both worlds have shaped who I am today.”

“To sing with the legendary group The Miracles with my brother (Sydney) and share the stage with him, it’s the highest level of music,” KERRY JUSTIN adds.

“My whole musical journey has been abundantly full of surprising moments, memories and experiences,” ERIC SWINDLE notes.

Stay tuned for news of THE MIRACLES’ plans for the rest of the year.

Grammy-winning, multiplatinum heavy metal band MEGADETH has announced an agreement for founder and frontman Dave Mustaine’s Tradecraft imprint with the Frontiers Label Group’s new imprint, BLKIIBLK. In this new arrangement, BKLIIBLK—which is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of heavy music—will exclusively release the iconic band’s forthcoming album globally.

“When I first met Tom Lipsky and Bob Chiappardi back in the day I had no idea we would be working together again so many years in the future,” Dave Mustaine says. “I look forward to working with Serafino and the team in Italy and I can’t wait for the fans to hear the songs from our new record.”

This new and exciting collaboration with one of the most influential and groundbreaking bands in heavy metal history marks a significant moment for both the label and metal fans worldwide. BLKIIBLK aims to bring a fresh perspective by focusing on innovative and boundary-pushing artists. With a mission to support and elevate the genre, the imprint strives to showcase talent that is both pioneering and influential.

“As the owner of Frontiers, I am honoured to be working with Megadeth, a band that has shaped the sound of metal for decades. This collaboration reflects our dedication to bringing the best in rock and metal to our audience”, said Serafino Perugino, President & CEO of Frontiers Label Group.

“Myself, Justis Mustaine and Steve Ross at CTK Enterprises are extremely excited for the partnership with Dave Mustaine’s Tradecraft Records and BLKIIBLK,” says Danny Nozell, CEO, CTK. “Looking forward to getting this new album out to the world and combining teams with Serafino and Tom for the global attack.”

Tom Lipsky, Head of A&R of North America for Frontiers Label Group, commented: “When BLKIIBLK Records was formed, the very first artist we agreed was ideal to define the creative mission of the label was Megadeth. Now, it is a reality. The band is crushing it in the studio. Danny Nozell, Justis Mustaine, Steve Ross and the team at CTK are developing an incredible global plan, and our team is thrilled, primed and ready to shake up the world of hard rock and metal!”

About Megadeth:

Megadeth are an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1983 by vocalist/guitarist Dave Mustaine. Known for their technically complex guitar work and musicianship, Megadeth is one of the “big four” of American thrash metal along with Metallica, Anthrax, and Slayer. Their music features complex arrangements, fast rhythm sections, dual lead guitars, and lyrical themes of war, politics, religion, death, and personal relationships.

Since their explosive debut Killing Is My Business… and Business Is Good! (1985), Megadeth has built a legacy of seminal albums, including the genre-defining Rust In Peace (1990) and the multi-platinum Countdown To Extinction (1992). Their catalogue boasts five platinum-certified records and sixteen studio albums, culminating in their latest release, The Sick, the Dying… And The Dead! (2022). Over their 42-year career, Megadeth have solidified their status as one of metal’s most enduring acts. The band earned twelve Grammy nominations, winning their first in 2017 for “Dystopia” (Best Metal Performance), and sold over 50 million albums worldwide.

Furthermore, Megadeth have built a global community of fans, hosting the acclaimed Gigantour festival and launching the MegaCruise in 2019. Their iconic mascot, Vic Rattlehead, remains a symbol, regularly appearing on album artwork and live shows. Led by Mustaine—the band’s unwavering creative force—Megadeth’s current lineup features bassist James LoMenzo, guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari, and drummer Dirk Verbeuren. With over four decades of metal dominance, Megadeth’s legacy is stronger than ever.

“ABOVE GROUND 4”
2025 BENEFIT CONCERT
RESCHEDULED FOR
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26
AT THE FONDA THEATRE
IN HOLLYWOOD, CA

The 2025 “ABOVE GROUND 4” benefit concert, originally set for this past January, has now been rescheduled for Sunday, October 26 at The Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, CA. The fourth iteration of the event will again raise awareness and funds for mental health and suicide prevention.

The ABOVE GROUND team made the decision to postpone the event during the horrific wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles earlier this year. Tickets purchased for the original date will be honored and ones for the new show are on sale now.

ABOVE GROUND 4 will highlight the groundbreaking self-titled debuts by the New York Dolls (1973) and The Cars (1978) and the line-up for ABOVE GROUND 2025 will be announced in the coming months. This year’s event will be even more poignant given the recent untimely passing of The Dolls’ David Johansen.

“Above Ground has become a powerful night of connection for our music community, and each year, the impact grows,” says Laura Segura, Executive Director of MusiCares. “This concert celebrates music that inspires us and the resilience of those facing personal challenges. It’s a night of understanding and hope.”
