Soulful and fearless Americana/country-rock artist HEATHER ANNE LOMAX (formerly known as Michael-Ann) is previewing her upcoming second album ALL THIS TIME (due May 1) with “Heart Don’t Lie.” A bittersweet country song about love and loss with the moving line “Cause heaven knows/That the heart don’t lie,” the song is available today (April 10) across all digital platforms following its premiere yesterday via The Bluegrass Situation. Listen to “Heart Don’t Lie” now here:

smarturl.it/heartdontlie.

“It’s a song about love and longing,” shares the Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and guitarist. “It’s a song of yearning and of the unseen ties that bind two souls regardless of space and time. It’s about ‘memories, pressed between the pages of my mind.”

“Heart Don’t Lie” comes on the heels of HEATHER‘s riveting and colorful performance music video for the album single “Better Luck” which debuted last month on DittyTV. The uplifting self-empowerment manifesto “Better Luck” was initially premiered via American Songwriter. “One of the most expressive vocalists around,” noted the outlet’s Paul Zollo, “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). HEATHER recently spoke to Guitar Girl Mag whom lauded her as “a bold and daring voice in today’s Americana scene. She is creating music that brings the raw roots of country, blues, and gospel into a modern language that is firmly grounded in time-honored tradition.” (April 6, 2020)

HEATHER has brought her fiery energy to stages across the U.S. opening for acts including 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, WAR and Blood Sweat & Tears.

Originally hailing from Kansas City, HEATHER is now based in Los Angeles where she recorded ALL THIS TIME with producer/mixer Jason Hiller along with enlisting 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.

While quarantined at home in Los Angeles due to the coronavirus pandemic, HEATHER shared some of her thoughts on its impact on artists and what she’s been doing to keep busy while staying at home in the below Q&A.

QUARANTINE Q&A with HEATHER ANNE LOMAX

What are some of the changes you’ve seen around you following the spread of the coronavirus pandemic?

LOMAX: “I think one thing that is GOOD that has transpired with this pandemic, is that it has heightened people’s compassion for others. I see people willing to do favors for others, donate time, resources, etc. for the common good. It’s tragic that sometimes we need a wakeup call like a pandemic, or 9/11 to remember those noble qualities in our species.”

While staying at home, what are some of the activities that you’ve been doing to keep busy?

“I have been binge watching (thanks to my friend Aubrey Richmond) ‘The Outlander.’

It’s a truly romantic escape to the shores of Scotland. At its core, it’s a love story set in the mid-1700’s during the Jacobite uprising against England. It’s full of dramatic twists and turns, passion, loyalty, and the undying, unbridled love of two soulmates that weather the test of time. Do I believe in this kind of love? Absolutely.”

“I’ve also been reading a lot of books. I am currently reading ‘My Symphony’ by William Henry Channing and there’s a quote in the book that really stands out to me in these times because it is easy to become fearful, and not mindful:

‘To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, to all bravely await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.’

What it’s been like as an artist surviving during these times?

“I had shows and a record release lined up, but like so many other musicians, have had to cancel or postpone those performances. For so many musicians, touring is a big part of their financial equation to support their work. This situation is causing a paradigm shift. Now musicians are performing online just to stay in the public eye. This music offers much needed comfort, support and healing. Hopefully it puts some money in musicians’ pockets as well via online views. I have my own financial concerns, but I am better off than many of my friends who tour exclusively to support themselves. My heart really hurts for them.”

“I’m hoping this situation cracks open our hearts to be more aware that we are ALL struggling–financially, emotionally, spiritually and physically. This virus does not discriminate based on status, race, sex or religion. Perhaps we will be more keenly aware that we are all just trying to survive on this planet. I think that it has also made me aware that this life IS truly a gift, and it’s best to take time to ‘stop and smell the roses.'”

TASH SULTANA New Song And Video For “Pretty Lady” Features Clips From A World In Isolation

DATE: APRIL 9, 2020

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER

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.

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”

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.

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.

Soulful indie folk/Americana artist DYLAN HARTIGAN, a New Jersey-bred singer, songwriter and guitarist, will join esteemed rock n soul artist Maggie Rose for a handful of shows this April on the East Coast (itinerary below). Rose co-produced DYLAN‘s upcoming album alongside Grammy nominated producer Bobby Holland (ZZ Ward, Kesha, Drake White) in Nashville. DYLAN will reveal the first new music from his full-length album, due out later this year, on Friday, April 3 with the achingly heartfelt single “My Island.” Meanwhile, DYLAN is currently performing a series of intimate, secret gigs hosted by Sofar Sounds throughout March. He will be donating 50% of profits made from these shows to aid Nashville tornado relief efforts.

DYLAN will appear in support of Maggie Rose and Them Vibes at the following shows:

Wednesday, April 8 – Philadelphia, PA @ World Café Live

Thursday, April 9 – Asbury Park, NJ @ Asbury Lanes

Friday, April 10 – Brooklyn, NY @ Knitting Factory

“The tour with Maggie is going to be bomb,” says DYLAN. “The drive is born into us and not manufactured or molded to fit an archetype, we both get ‘it.’ That realness and raw energy is not something you can fake during a live performance.” He adds, “People should come if they want to smile and really want to feel a sense of family and community. We’ve built a home with our music and we love and support each other.”

DYLAN may appear familiar to some from his starring role in the 2012 coming-of-age film Funeral Kings, acting roles in TV shows “Law and Order” and “The Black Donnellys,” and more recently, his Season 14 performances as a finalist in 2018 on NBC‘s “The Voice,” earning praise from such national outlets as the Hollywood Reporter which described him as “soulful and charming [with] impressive range.” Notably, “The Voice” judge Kelly Clarkson invited DYLAN to perform onstage during her “Meaning of Life” tour date on March 9, 2019 at PPL Center in Allentown, PA. Following the show, DYLAN was introduced to Maggie Rose and her manager.

Pre-save “My Island” on all digital streaming platforms here and head over to American Songwriter on Thursday, April 2 to hear an exclusive advance listen to the single.

Nordic Folk Band WARDRUNA Share ‘Kvitravn’ Track List + Translations

DT: MARCH 9, 2020

FR: KELLY WALSH

WARDRUNA

FOUNDER/COMPOSER EINAR SELVIK
SHARES TRACK LIST AND TRANSLATIONS

FOR ‘KVITRAVN,’
DISCUSSES ALBUM’S LYRICAL NODS TO OLD NORSE POETRY

Traditional Norwegian folk outfit 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. The band will continue to integrate the past in a modern way with their upcoming fifth full-length album KVITRAVN due June 5 via BY NORSE MUSIC (U.S.) and SONY MUSIC / COLUMBIA RECORDS (worldwide excl. U.S.).

Following the release of the album’s debut single “Grá“-translating to ‘grey’ in English-and its transcendent music video which can be seen here, founder/composer EINAR SELVIK (ex-Gorgoroth) has revealed KVITRAVN‘s track listing along with translations for each of the track’s titles.

“For those who want to search deeper into our songs, the upcoming album will contain complete lyrics along with English translations,” reveals EINAR. “When revealing the track list, it also makes sense to show the translations of the titles, so one potentially gets a better idea of the album’s content.”

KVITRAVN‘s track listing with translations is as follows:

1. “Synkverv” (Turn-sight)

2. “Kvitravn” (White Raven)

3. “Skugge” (Shadow)

4. “Grá” (Grey)

5. “Fylgjutal” (Speech of the Fetch)

6. “Munin” (Memory)

7. “Kvit hjort” (White Stag)

8. “Viseveiding” (Song-hunting)

9. “Ni” (Nine)

10. “Vindavlarljod” (Song of the wind-bred)

11. “Andvevarljod” (Song of the Spirit-weavers)

EINAR adds: “The power of words, poetry and abstract thinking as well as the ability to master them in various forms was highly regarded in the oral societies of the past. It is a trait that we feel should not be forgotten. Our lyrics are therefore an important layer to the music.”

“Whether the given song is about traditions, spirituality, philosophy or other esoteric subjects, there should always be a potential of learning something,” he explains. “Knowledge, yet knowledge that is not served as overly explained truths, but rather in abstract images and hints that inspire the listener to seek their own understanding–much like the way Old Norse poetry deals with esoteric matters.”
