OZZY OSBOURNE Cancels 2020 “No More Tours 2”

DATE: FEB 17, 2020

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER

OZZY OSBOURNE

CANCELS 2020

NORTH AMERICAN

“NO MORE TOURS 2” DATES

TO HEAD OVERSEAS

FOR ADDITIONAL MEDICAL TREATMENTS

OZZY OSBOURNE‘s 2020 North American “NO MORE TOURS 2” has unfortunately been cancelled to allow OSBOURNE to continue to recover from various health issues he has faced over the past year. This decision was made to accommodate fans who’ve been holding tickets for rescheduled shows and have been asked to change plans, some multiple times. Following promotional obligations for his new ORDINARY MAN album (out February 21), OSBOURNE will head to Europe for additional treatments.

“I’m so thankful that everyone has been patient because I’ve had a shit year,” OSBOURNE said. “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to get to Switzerland for treatment until April and the treatment takes six-eight weeks.

“I don’t want to start a tour and then cancel shows at the last minute, as it’s just not fair to the fans. I’d rather they get a refund now and when I do the North American tour down the road, everyone who bought a ticket for these shows will be the first ones in line to purchase tickets at that time.”

Refunds are available at the original point of purchase. All refunds, including fees, will be returned directly to the credit card used. Additionally, ticketholders who purchased “No More Tours 2” tickets will have first access to tickets when the next tour is announced.

GODSMACK Involve Local New Hampshire Music Students in “Unforgettable” Music Video Filming

DATE: FEBRUARY 11, 2020

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/ MITCH SCHNEIDER/KELLY WALSH

GODSMACK

SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC STUDENTS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

WITH TWO EVENTS:

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 14 TED TALK-STYLE PRESENTATION HOSTED BY BAND’S LEAD SINGER SULLY ERNA AT THE

GILBERT H. HOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL IN DERRY, NH

AND SATURDAY FEBRUARY 15 FILMING OF NEW VIDEO FOR “UNFORGETTABLE” FROM BAND’S

‘WHEN LEGENDS RISE’ ALBUM

AT THE SNHU ARENA IN MANCHESTER, NH

As music programs continue to be at risk at schools across the country, multi-platinum hard rock titans GODSMACK are looking to support local music students in New Hampshire by involving them in the filming of their latest single “Unforgettable,” from their current album WHEN LEGENDS RISE, with two events later this week. First up, the band’s lead singer and guitarist SULLY ERNA will speak to middle school students on Friday February 14. The following day (Saturday February 15), GODSMACK will invite 300+ students to join the band to take part in a performance of their new single “Unforgettable” at the SNHU Arena in Manchester, NH.

The Friday February 14 events will begin with a Ted Talk-style presentation by SULLY at the Gilbert H. Hood Middle School in Derry, NH. SULLY will talk about his life–the challenges, blending in, how music saved him–and encouraging the young musicians to continue to pursue their dreams. The assembly will end with the students getting a chance to be a part of filming “Unforgettable.” The day will conclude with the band teaching the track to the students in preparation for the following day’s filming.

On Saturday morning (February 15), the students will travel in school buses to SNHU Arena in Manchester, NH where they’ll be filmed alongside the band–Sully Erna [vocals, guitar], Tony Rombola [guitar], Robbie Merrill [bass] and Shannon Larkin [drums]–for the “Unforgettable” video.

Previously, GODSMACK had orchestrated 20 students from the Gilbert H. Hood Middle School to join them in the studio during the recording of “Unforgettable” and provide vocals on the song’s chorus. These same students were also invited to perform the song live on-stage with GODSMACK at their show in Gilford, NH on August 22, 2018 at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion. Now, GODSMACK will showcase 300 middle schoolers from the same school in their music video. Look for the “Unforgettable” video to be released in the coming weeks.

“Unforgettable” comes on the heels of last year’s career first for the band when they scored three #1 singles from GODSMACK‘s WHEN LEGENDS RISE (BMG) album. It follows “Under Your Scars,” which was the group’s third #1, and the album’s two previous tracks that were #1 active rock hits: “When Legends Rise” and “Bulletproof,” the latter of which was recently certified Gold in the U.S. and was also the most-played song at rock radio in 2018.

WHEN LEGENDS RISE marks the band’s seventh studio album and their first in four years. The critically acclaimed 11-song collection entered the Billboard Top 200 album chart in the top ten (#8), with four #1 placements on other charts: Top Rock Albums, Top Hard Music Albums, Top Independent Albums and Top Alternative Albums. WHEN LEGENDS RISE is available on CD, LP and Digital; purchase or stream it here. The album finds the guys doubling down on their combination of tightly wound riffs, rhythmic fury, naked emotions and pushed-to-the-edge vocals, all fired up with melodic precision and tight songcraft.

About GODSMACK:

Godsmack stand strong as 21^st century hard rock titans. With an unbreakable spirit and die-hard work ethic evocative of their hometown, the Boston quartet fought hard to secure a place in music history since first smashing their way on to the scene in 1998. To date, they’ve notched a staggering ten #1 singles at mainstream rock radio, including “Awake,” “Straight Out of Line,” “Cryin’ Like A Bitch,” and “I Stand Alone.” Moreover, they’ve enjoyed 24 Top 10 hits at the format-the most of any act since February 1999-as well as four Grammy nominations, and were winners of The Billboard Music Awards Rock Artists of the Year in 2001. Selling over 20 million records worldwide, the band has also unleashed three consecutive albums at #1 on the Billboard Top 200-namely Faceless [2003], IV [2006], and The Oracle [2010]. This places them in league with Van Halen, U2, Metallica, Dave Matthews Band, and Linkin Park who have also enjoyed the same streak. Moreover, the accomplishment on the road remains staggering with headlining sets around the world. They still stand alone.

Nordic Folk Band WARDRUNA Announce New Album ‘Kvitravn’ & 2020 N. American Fall Tour

DT: FEBRUARY 11, 2020

FR: KELLY WALSH

NORDIC FOLK BAND
WARDRUNA’s
NEW ALBUM ‘KVITRAVN’ OUT JUNE 5
VIA BY NORSE MUSIC (U.S. only)
SONY MUSIC/COLUMBIA RECORDS (World Excl. U.S.)

REVEAL NORTH AMERICAN FALL TOUR DATES
TICKETS ON SALE FRI. 2/14

PRE-ORDER BUNDLES AVAILABLE NOW

Masterful Norwegian storytellers WARDRUNA–last seen in the U.S. in 2018 with a sold-out headlining show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado–will release their new album KVITRAVN(which translates to ‘White Raven’) on June 5 via BY NORSE MUSIC in the U.S. and SONY MUSIC / COLUMBIA RECORDS (worldwide excl. U.S.). The first new music from the album will be revealed on February 21. In the meantime, pre-order bundles are now available in the U.S. at https://wardruna.aisamerch.com/and across all digital platforms at https://wardruna.lnk.to/Kvitravn_Album.

WARDRUNA have also announced plans for a solo North American tour launching this fall in Charlotte, NC on September 24 and concluding in Dallas, TX on October 20. Tickets for these shows (listed below) will go on-sale at 10:00 A.M. local time on Friday, February 14.

WARDRUNA have carved a rich, polyphonic and dramatic musical landscape that honors the ancient past without gimmick, while simultaneously illuminating meaningful expressions of Norse tradition through intrinsically detailed contemporary composition. Beyond genre, theirs is a sound that must be truly experienced. Their first-ever concert was held in front of the 1,500-year-oldGokstad Viking ship in Oslo, NO and they’re the only band to have ever been allowed to hold an amplified concert at the Viking ship museum. Since then they’ve performed sold-out shows worldwide, including major festival headlining appearances (Hellfest, Roadburn, Summer Breez, Castle Fest, Echoes & Merveilles, Rock oz Arenes, Rock The Coast, etc.). In 2018, they toured the U.S. with a West Coast run which expanded their audience.

KVITRAVN follows an intensive period in the studio and musically continues where their RUNALJOD trilogy left off in 2016 with RUNALJOD – RAGNAROK–which charted at #1 Billboard’s World Music charts in the U.S. and Canada. Yet KVITRAVN marks a distinct evolution in WARDRUNA‘s unique sound. In a rich musical tapestry, WARDRUNA use a broad selection of both traditional and historical instruments such as Kravik-lyre, Trossingen-lyre, Taglharpa, Sootharp, Langeleik, Crwth, Goat- horn, Lur, Bronze-lur, flute, Moraharpa, and the record also features guest appearances by a small group of prominent traditional singers, spearheaded by Kirsten Bråten Berg, one of the most important custodians of Norwegian traditional song. Throughout these 11 songs, KVITRAVNdiscusses Northern sorcery, spirit-animals, shadows, nature and animism, the wisdom and meanings of certain myths, various Norse spiritual concepts, and the relation between sage and songs.

“To recite and copy the past is not very difficult, but to understand and integrate ancient thoughts, tools and methods with real purpose into a creation that is relevant to the modern era is truly challenging and remains our prime goal in our work,” WARDRUNA founder Einar Selvik reveals.

“Although the album carries a variant of my own totemic artist name, it has, in this context, little to do with me but rather refers to the symbolism and legends of sacred white animals found in Nordic and other cultures all over the world. These highly regarded ghostly creatures, whether a raven, snake, bear, moose, reindeer, elephant or lion,–are in animist traditions seen as prophetic, divine messengers, and guardians representing renewal, purity and a bridge between worlds.”

KVITRAVN cover artwork

Since their formation in the early 2000’s initiated by composer Einar Selvik, WARDRUNA have had vast worldwide success, transcending music genres, cultures and languages while being renowned for their innovative and genre-creating renditions of ancient Nordic traditions.

The group’s massive musical contributions to History Channel‘s TV seriesVIKINGS-which consists of over 60 placements and substantial work on the show’s musical score in addition to appearances by EINAR, who starred and performed on two occasions in Season 3 and 4–has exposed their music to a broad audience worldwide.

WARDRUNA merge academics with pop culture, and their thorough and serious approach has made them one of today’s foremost communicators of Norse culture. Today’s top international scholars on Old Norse studies use EINAR‘s work to exemplify how music might have been executed in earlier times in Scandinavia and he has lectured about his work with historical music in prestigious universities such as Oxford, University ofDenver, Reykjavik University and University of Bergen. Alongside fellow Norwegian metal band Enslaved, WARDRUNA was commissioned by the Norwegian government to write and perform a music-piece for the 200-year anniversary of the Norwegian constitution in 2014.

IAN GOTHE Shares New Single and Video Ahead of Debut Album Release

DT: FEBRUARY 6, 2020

FM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/KELLY WALSH

IAN GOTHE

SHARES NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO
“TAKE ME HOME”
IN ADVANCE OF DEBUT ALBUM RELEASE

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7
VIA BLACKBIRD RECORD LABEL

LOS ANGELES RECORD RELEASE SHOW

FOR ‘MEMENTO’
SET FOR SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8
AT HOTEL CAFÉ (HOLLYWOOD)

Los Angeles-based acoustic guitarist-singer-songwriter IAN GOTHE has shared a new music video for the third single, the compellingly intimate” Take Me Home,” from his debut solo album MEMENTO, due out this Friday, February 7 via the California-based Blackbird Record Label. The video debuted yesterday, February 5, via American Songwriter.

IAN has also announced a record release show at Hotel Café in Hollywood this Saturday, February 8 where he’ll perform songs from MEMENTO which includes his two previous singles and videos: “Blood on The Rooftops in Montrose” and “Spanish Caravan.” “Blood on The Rooftops in Montrose” is IAN‘s homage to guitarist Steve Hackett of Genesis, while his interpretation of The Doors’ “Spanish Caravan” was originally premiered via Guitar Player and prompted The Doors‘ guitarist Robby Krieger to say: “I love it! It’s tough to cover Doors songs because the originals are so iconic. But Ian wasn’t afraid to stick to the original format and did a great job of capturing the feel. There’s a new flamenco/rock movement happening now in Europe–maybe Ian will lead the way!”

IAN‘s latest video “Take Me Home” was filmed with director Martin Yernazian in different locations in SoCal including Montrose (where he currently resides), Flintridge, Glendale, Burbank and Pasadena. IAN sings the song entirely in Armenian reflecting his history being born and raised in Iran to an Armenian family until he was 14, after which he travelled across various continents until relocating permanently in Los Angeles.

“I wrote ‘Take Me Home’ as an anthem for one of the defining questions of my life, ‘Where do I belong?'” shares IAN. “As I was grappling with emotions suspended in a loss devoid of closure, ‘Take Me Home’ grew to become an ethereal journey through dreams, memories, and imagined futures.

“The moment in the video when I kneel in the cemetery,” elaborates IAN, “is meant to underscore the role of loss in fueling the human drive to belong, and the sojourn throughout the video taps into the desire to escape that we all have at some point, knowing full well that the mind, soul, heart, and pain will follow. Employing the metaphor of dream and the fairytale beauty of the Armenian landscape that is a reflection of what I imagine to be my soul’s home, I worked to create a tale that captures the universal experience of longing to uncover a sense of being, all while again losing that which never existed.

“With this song,” IAN adds, “I attempted to create a space to contemplate loss and question the uncomfortable ambiguity of existence. By painting a picture of dreams and a desire to find home with enough textures and colors, my hope is that listeners can contemplate their own journeys.”

IAN GOTHE – “Take Me Home” Official Music Video

“TAKE ME HOME” Lyrics (translated to English)

Written by Ian Gothe

Come and take me far away

Take me to Yerevan

Come and take me to Goris

Then on to Tatev Monastery

In my dreams, I saw a verdant vineyard

Azure cloud-laced skies in Lake Sevan

An endless field of wildflowers

And a morning drenched in shimmering light

An imperfect melody

An apathetic time

The whimsical wind is beckoning me

The strings of the kanun are singing your song

Take me, take me far

Take me home

Take me, take me far

Take me home

Treasured memories, days of old

Bring the red wine, let it flow

The waves of the river overflow

Like my soul runs to and fro

Carefree thoughts adorn the starry night

Round and round you dance in my head

Take me, take me far

Take me home

Take me, take me far

Take me home

HEATHER ANNE LOMAX (formerly known as Micheal-Ann) Announces New Album, Debuts New Single “Better Luck”

(formerly known as Michael-Ann)

“BETTER LUCK”

“I am a phoenix I flew out of the fire

Took me for dead, but I rose even higher

Even higher

Oh came back again

Back again

Oh, rose from the dead”

—Heather Anne Lomax, “All This Time” song

HEATHER ANNE LOMAX (formerly known as the artist Michael-Ann) has spent the greater part of the past decade putting her own spin on the Americana and Country-Rock/Blues genre. A strikingly authentic and fearless artist who’s based in Los Angeles and hails from Kansas City, Missouri, HEATHER has announced plans to self-release her sophomore album ALL THIS TIME on May 1. Yesterday, February 4, she premiered the new single “Better Luck” via American Songwriter. “One of the most expressive vocalists around, she combines the sweet folky purity of Joan Baez with the rocking soul of Janis Joplin with hints of Patsy Cline and Linda Ronstadt,” noted the magazine’s Paul Zollo.

“Better Luck” is an explosive song about self-affirmation and strength, set to a mix of acoustic/electric guitars and soaring fiddle work with an insistent percussive groove and vocal chants. HEATHER instantly paints the picture: “Got a rocket/In my back pocket/Full of wishes/Better luck next time.” She says: “I just had the vision of carrying a bottle rocket in my back pocket when I was a kid in the Midwest. My brother and I used to have bottle rocket wars with our neighbors. It’s symbolic about the launching of hope, and how sometimes the rocket’s path can derail but still creates a spectacular explosion in the air.”

The album features 11 original tracks–recorded with the sonics of Elvis Presley‘s “Sun Sessions” and the American Sound Studios “From Elvis In Memphis” in mind–by producer/mixer Jason Hiller and was mastered at Lurssen Mastering by Reuben Cohen and Gavin Lurssen. HEATHER also enlisted an all-star team of renowned musicians to guest on the album including Zachary Ross, Ty Bailie, Ben Peeler-Weissenborn, Aubrey Richmond, David Goodstein, Chris Joyner, Rob Humphreys, Rosa Pullman-Wurlitzer, Maesa Pullman, Ronee Martin, John “JT” Thomas, and Danielle Fife.

Look for HEATHER to open for the legendary soul artist Aaron Neville on March 14 at The Canyon in Agoura Hills, CA. Last month she brought her firepower opening for soul titans War at The Canyon in Santa Clarita, CA. More tour dates will soon be announced.

ALL THIS TIME

Track Listing

1. All This Time

2. Prison Cell

3. Better Luck

4. My Dog

5. Heart Don’t Lie

6. Comfort Me

7. Mr. Popular

8. Crumbs

9. Six Foot Under

10. See You Again

11. Just Like Yours

HEATHER‘s last record, Heavy Load (2014), under her previous name Michael-Ann, was voted one of the Top 10 Americana Records from Los Angeles by Turnstyle, Junkpiled Roots Music Magazine and won Robert Oermann‘s ‘DisCovery of the Week Award‘ by Music Row magazine in Nashville. She has received numerous features across music publications including LA Music Examiner, Music News Nashville, and Lonesome Highway and has opened shows across the country for acts such as Wynonna and The Big Noise, Lee Ann Womack, Blake Shelton, Kenny Rogers, Jeff Bridges, John Hiatt, Richie Furay, Don McLean, Judy Collins, Marshall Tucker Band, Joan Osborne, Melanie, Blood Sweat & Tears and War.

As the song goes, HEATHER ANNE LOMAX was “born in the wagon of a travellin’ show.” She has always known she was adopted, and after years of searching, she found her birth family. HEATHER discovered that she had been born into a lineage of both artistic and musical family members. She is related to the late radio sports broadcaster Stan Lomax of WOR NY, cousin to the well-known ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax; her mother was an artist and a musician, and her grandmother was on Broadway. And so, like the prodigal daughter, she returned to her original birth name, HEATHER ANNE LOMAX.

Mongolian Rock Sensation THE HU Announce 2020 U.S. Tour and Festival Dates

DT: FEBRUARY 5, 2020

FM: KELLY WALSH / MITCH SCHNEIDER

FOLLOWING THEIR MASSIVE GLOBAL DEBUT IN 2019,

THE HU ANNOUNCES NEW U.S. FESTIVAL AND HEADLINE DATES STARTING APRIL 10^TH AT COACHELLA

MONGOLIAN ROCK SENSATION’S CURRENT SINGLE

“YUVE YUVE YU (FEAT. FROM ASHES TO NEW)” IS CURRENTLY

#8 ON THE ACTIVE ROCK CHARTS

Mongolian rock sensation THE HU–who ended 2019 with a 75% sold-out North American tour in support of their debut album, THE GEREG (Better Noise Music)–has announced a new U.S. headlining tour. Starting on April 10 at Coachella in Indio, CA, the tour will take them through May 24 in Dallas, TX. This will follow the band’s current sold-out European/UK run.

“We’re so excited by the reaction to our performances and tours everywhere. Our fans are the best and we are humbled by their overwhelming support. We can’t wait to return to the USA and perform at Coachella and so many other great festivals and venues.” – The Hu

THE HU’s current single “Yuve Yuve Yu (feat. From Ashes To New)” is currently at #8 and rising on the Active Rock Charts. The success of the single is a ‘win’ for diversity in the Rock genre as a whole, with lyrics primarily in Mongolian.

THE HU has been making waves across the globe with many sold-out shows and festival appearances presenting their signature brand of “hunnu rock“–a one-of-a-kind mixture of Western rock music combined with traditional Mongolian instrumentation and throat-singing sung in their native language.

The impact they made in 2019 worldwide is also evident in the critical acclaim and year-end best-of lists that THE GEREG appeared on. Loudwire listed THE GEREG among its Top Albums of 2019 and Revolver Magazine included the band’s video for “The Great Chinggis Khaan” among their Top 10 of the year. In the UK THE GEREG placed among Top Albums of 2019 in Classic Rock and Metal Hammer magazines.

“With so bracing a combination of sights and sounds, the Hu have been forging a highly improbable connection between the complexities of traditional Mongolian music and the 10-ton force of western metal,” wrote Jim Farber in The Guardian (10/22/19).
