TASH SULTANA

RELEASES SEDUCTIVE NEW SONG

‘PRETTY LADY’

AND EXPLOSIVE VIDEO CLIP

AVAILABLE TO STREAM OR PURCHASE NOW

After a world premiere on Australia’s “The Breakfast Show” (via national broadcaster triple j), multi-instrumentalist and global sensation TASH SULTANA has released her seductive new song “Pretty Lady,” out today (April 9) on Mom + Pop Music. Listen to the song here and watch the video here.

The video was created using clips of friends, family, and fans all around the world in isolation to spread positive energy into the world. All the participants will continue to spread the word with the #PrettyLadyChallenge on social media. To coincide with the single’s release, TASH also performed live on YouTube as part of their #Stayhome series through the pandemic on TASH‘s YouTube page.

“Pretty Lady” was co-written and made by TASH with Matt Corby and Dann Hume in TASH‘s own studio. The song is an exquisite showcase of storytelling that TASH has become known for, while also showcasing TASH‘s soulful and intimate vocals.

Reflecting on the track, TASH explains, “I’ve been trying to figure out how to write this song for like six years. I used to loop it and just free style to it when I was busking years ago, but I always got stuck on the same parts. I put the song in a box at the back of my mind and revisited it in November 2019. I had Dann (Hume) and Matt (Corby) spend some time in my studio and that’s when I decided to show them this song. It’s my first song I’ve collaborated with other players on.”

About TASH:

TASH SULTANA is an explosive live artist who has commanded global attention since homemade videos went viral. Tash was soon selling out major arenas globally and playing at the world’s biggest festivals – no mean feat for an artist who just a year before was recording songs on a go pro in a bedroom.

Since Tash’s grandfather gifted a guitar at the age of three, the self-taught artist quickly developed a unique style that has seen Tash breaking record attendances around the globe. Tash has mastered over 12 instruments, has a vocal that shines with a magical quality and a live show that needs to be seen to be believed.

The one-person powerhouse started out playing open mic nights on a fake id and busking on the streets of Melbourne, Australia. Recent accolades include over 1 Billion combined streams, an ARIA award for Blues and Roots Album of The Year with ‘Flow State’, smash single ‘Jungle’ coming in at #3 in triple j’s Hottest 100, achieving platinum sales for the Notion EP, double platinum sales for ‘Jungle’ and platinum sales for ‘Notion’ along with numerous gold certified singles. Tash’s live show has seen her become the only artist to sell out 3 Brixton Academy shows before their debut album along with selling another 500,000 tickets worldwide which recently culminated in a sold out performance at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, with noted stand out sets at Coachella & Lollapalooza.

GODSMACK Release “Unforgettable” Music Video Highlighting Two-Year Journey with Young Musicians

DATE: APRIL 8, 2020

SULLY ERNA AND GODSMACK

TAKE 400+ NEW ENGLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS ON THE MUSICAL ADVENTURE OF THEIR LIVES

BAND’S NEW MUSIC VIDEO “UNFORGETTABLE”

OUT TODAY (APRIL 8) DOCUMENTS THE TWO-YEAR JOURNEY

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

Multi-platinum hard rock titans GODSMACK today (Wednesday, April 8) have released the video for their new hit single “Unforgettable” from their latest smash album WHEN LEGENDS RISE (BMG).

With music programs continuing to be at risk in schools across the country, it was important for the band–Sully Erna [vocals, guitar], Tony Rombola [guitar], Robbie Merrill [bass] and Shannon Larkin [drums]–to make a video about the power of music to uplift lives. They invited 400+ aspiring musicians from all over New England to join them at the SNHU Arena in Manchester, NH for the shoot.

The “Unforgettable” video (directed by Noah Berlow) culminates a two-year process where the band involved students, starting with the recording of the song when 20 students joined them in the studio to provide vocals on the chorus. These same students were also invited to perform the song live onstage with GODSMACK at their show in Gilford, NH on August 22, 2018 at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion. Earlier this year, the band returned to the Gilbert H. Hood Middle School and enlisted students to rehearse with them the day before the shoot to prepare them for the filming. As part of the band’s visit, SULLY talked to the students about his life–the challenges, blending in, how music saved him–and encouraged the young musicians to continue to pursue their dreams.

“We took these middle school students on a two-year long journey to show them how important music truly is to us all,” SULLY says. “Throughout 2018, we continued to include these kids in all aspects of the process by showing up at their school and personally teaching them the song, including them to join a part of our world tour inviting them to perform live onstage with us, taking them to NYC to further educate them on the business side of the music industry, visiting them at their schools to talk to them about the gift of music, and ultimately inviting them to shoot their first ‘official music video’ with the band.”

“Unforgettable” comes on the heels of last year’s career first for the band when they scored three #1 singles from GODSMACK‘s critically acclaimed and seventh studio album WHEN LEGENDS RISE. The song is currently at #11 on the active rock charts. 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 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.

WARDRUNA Postpone ‘Kvitravn’ Release Until January 2021; Fall N. American Tour Remains Scheduled

DT: APRIL 7, 2020

FM: KELLY WALSH

WARDRUNA
POSTPONE ‘KVITRAVN’ ALBUM RELEASE TO
JANUARY 22, 2021

NORDIC FOLK OUTFIT TO PROCEED WITH
NORTH AMERICAN FALL TOUR DATES

KVITRAVN cover artwork

Due to the effect of the coronavirus pandemic forcing the closure of warehouses and production facilities, Nordic folk outfit WARDRUNA have made the decision to postpone the release of their fifth full length album, KVITRAVN–which translates to ‘White Raven’–from its originally scheduled release date of June 5, 2020 until January 22, 2021 via BY NORSE MUSIC in the U.S. and SONY MUSIC / COLUMBIA RECORDS (worldwide excl. U.S.). It will remain available for pre-order during this time (links below). WARDRUNA will proceed to keep plans for their anticipated return to North America this Fall on a solo run from September 24 to October 20, dates of which are listed below. The band will continue to reveal new music throughout the year.

“It is with heavy hearts and great disappointment that we announce that our upcoming album ‘Kvitravn’ will be moved to January 22, 2021,” says founder/composer EINAR SELVIK. “Closed-down production factories and heavily reduced logistic services due to the COVID-19 situation makes it impossible to go forth with the release as planned. Nobody knows how long this situation will last and therefore we feel it is best to set a realistic date with a higher certainty of us being able to execute the release in the manner needed. On a more positive note, we plan to release a good handful of songs in the time to come before the full album comes out, so stay tuned!”

Pre-order options for KVITRAVN are available via digital download at https://wardruna.lnk.to/Kvitravn_Album. The album is also available on CD and 180-gram 2LP gatefold vinyl (black or ltd. Edition white) at https://wardruna.aisamerch.com/.

Since their formation in the early 2000’s initiated by Selvik, WARDRUNA have transcended genres, cultures and language barriers worldwide with their musical ode to ancient Nordic traditions with a #1 Billboard World Music album (2016), massive music contributions to the History Channel’s “Vikings” and a 2018 sold-out headlining show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado.

Beyond genre, theirs is a sound that must be truly experienced. WARDRUNA‘s first-ever concert was held in front of the 1,500-year-old Gokstad 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.).

Indie Folk/Americana Artist DYLAN HARTIGAN Shares Debut Single “My Island”

DT: APRIL 3, 2020

FM: KELLY WALSH/MITCH SCHNEIDER

SOULFUL INDIE FOLK/AMERICANA ARTIST

DYLAN HARTIGAN

LAUNCHES FIRST SINGLE “MY ISLAND”

“In a time where there’s so much uncertainty going on in this world, many are turning to music to help cope. For Dylan Hartigan, he’s releasing new single ‘My Island’ for people to enjoy while also bringing the current condition of the world to light.”

-Brad Curry, American Songwriter (4/2/2020)

DYLAN HARTIGAN‘s soul-warming vocals resonate a feeling of being at one with nature and self as he shares a vulnerability in his debut single “My Island,” which is available now across all digital platforms following its premiere yesterday (April 2) via American Songwriter. The heartfelt single will be included on DYLAN‘s debut 10-track album (as-yet-untitled) due later this fall. The album was co-produced by Grammy-nominated producer Bobby Holland (ZZ Ward, Kesha, Drake White) in Nashville alongside rock n soul artist Maggie Rose.

On “My Island,” DYLAN‘s distinctive Americana-inspired indie folk melodies and thought-provoking lyrics shine as he tells the story of the world as if it were a person.

“I wanted to create a song that humanizes the world by bringing awareness to the planet as a living being–by turning myself into it. It is the story of a stolen heart,” shares DYLAN. “A woman washes up on shore and comes into this man’s life and steals him away from the woman he loves. However, with her success comes the fear of the same thing happening to her. So…unfortunately, the island gets taken over.”

Listen/download “My Island” on your preferred digital platform here.

DYLAN was raised in a family of musicians that played for nothing other than the love of music. He says that “music is something my family has built happiness on. I grew up surrounded by love every second music was on.” He has been an entertainer since childhood, having pursued acting at an early age with supporting roles in The Stepford Wives (2004) aside Nicole Kidman and Matthew Broderick and the coming-of-age film Funeral Kings (2012) plus appearances on TV shows including “The Black Donnellys” (2007) and “Law & Order”(2008). With a desire to explore his passion for music, he tried out for Season 14 of NBC’s “The Voice” reality singing competition and made it all the way to live performances, earning praise from such national outlets as the Hollywood Reporter which described him as “soulful and charming [with] impressive range.”

Post-Punk Band SMALL PLANETS Release Music Video/EP In Aid Of Homeless Crisis In LA

DT: MARCH 27, 2020

FM: KELLY WALSH

POST-PUNK BAND SMALL PLANETS

SHARE NEW MUSIC VIDEO IN AID OF HOMELESS CRISIS IN LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles-based post-punk quintet SMALL PLANETS last winter released their self-titled debut album which was mastered by the multi-Grammy Award-winning engineer Andy Walter (David Bowie, The Who, The Cure) at the legendary Abbey Road studios in London, UK. Yesterday, March 26, the band partnered with Buzzbands LA–which describe them as “propulsive rockers (think Interpol) with dark, dreamier tracks”–to announce the release of a digital EP of the album’s track “E” today, March 27, and premiere the touching music video for the remixed version “E (Shhadows Mix)” seen below.

The music video for “E (Shhadows Mix)” raises awareness to the homeless crisis plaguing Los Angeles. To combat this issue, 5% of all sales from E will be donated to The Sidewalk Project, a non-profit homeless organization in Los Angeles who use art, music and film to create community and wellness for those who live outdoors. The band will also match the total amount raised over 90 days.

The EP also includes the previously unheard song “Winter” which alongside the remix was mastered by drummer Simon Scott of Slowdive. Their show at Ace Theater in Los Angeles in 2015 inspired the formation of SMALL PLANETS.

Taking their cue from iconic bands such as Interpol, Joy Division and The Cure, SMALL PLANETS have developed an instantly recognizable sound by combining their distinctive brand of darkened post-punk with striking vocals from lead vocalist Jessica Hernandez.

“E is truly about taking ownership of your next steps and not letting past mistakes define your future,” remarks guitarist Jeff Love. “It’s literally all about hope, which I feel ties well into the overall theme of this release-helping and raising awareness to the homeless crisis that Los Angeles is currently facing.”

SMALL PLANETS will also be taking donation and raising funds at their upcoming EP release show at Highland Park Bowl, which has been postponed until further notice due to the safety and concerns regarding the spread of the coronavirus.

“We Are Using 14th Century Methods to Deal with a 21^st Century Problem.”

The Global COVID-19 Relief Coalition (GCRC)–a registered 501c3 non-profit in partnership with NEXUS, a leading global network of next-gen philanthropists, impact investors, and social entrepreneurs–are calling on the world to come together around one united effort to alleviate COVID-19.

GCRC is galvanizing support from some of the top universities in the country, as well as some of the biggest corporations, philanthropists, and celebrities to create impactful solutions for the world.

GCRC believe that if they can unite the global COVID-19 efforts, they will have the opportunity to leverage the world’s resources to make a more impactful change.

The Global COVID-19 Relief Coalition has two ongoing initiatives:

●Global Solutions Effort—empowering the most creative solutions with resources, mentors, and the tools to deploy

●LiveAid-style Virtual Concert—hosting a virtual “Live Aid” relief concert (details of which will be announced soon)

Snyder is working to detecting diseases like COVID-19 before symptoms appear using scalable approaches like consumer wearable devices (e.g. Fitbit, Apple iWatch, Oura). In the long term, he and the researchers on his team are working to transform the healthcare system to keep people healthy rather than treating them when they get sick.

This is an open source, community effort. Please join GCRC.

HEATHER ANNE LOMAX

SHARES “BETTER LUCK” MUSIC VIDEO

Soulful and fearless Americana/country-rock artist HEATHER ANNE LOMAX (formerly known as Michael-Ann) has shared the electrifying and colorful music video for her single “Better Luck” after it was premiered via Memphis-based DittyTV last Monday, March 16 here.

The uplifting self-empowerment manifesto “Better Luck” will be featured on the Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and guitarist’s new album ALL THIS TIME (due May 1) and was recorded with the sonics of Elvis Presley’s “Sun Sessions” and the American Sound Studios “From Elvis In Memphis” in mind.

The “Better Luck” track, with its captivatingly insistent rhythm, soaring fiddle work and vocal chants, was originally premiered via American Songwriter (2/4/2020). Senior Editor Paul Zollo described HEATHER as: “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.” “Better Luck” was also picked by The Alternate Root as one of “The Top Ten Songs of the Week” (2/19/2020).

Earlier this year, HEATHER brought her fiery energetic live show to The Canyon Club in Santa Clarita to open for WAR. No stranger to the stage, she has previously 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 and Blood Sweat & Tears.

Due to the impact of the coronavirus, HEATHER has postponed her record release show originally scheduled at Three Clubs in Hollywood on Sunday, April 26 until further notice.

ALL THIS TIME features 11 original tracks produced and mixed by Jason Hiller and mastered at Lurssen Mastering by Reuben Cohen and Gavin Lurssen. HEATHER 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.

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.
