Following recent U.S. dates which wrapped July 20 in Los Angeles, singer, songwriter and musician RICKIE LEE JONES is planning another run of shows before she heads to Europe for shows in the fall. The latest shows kick off October 7 in Asheville, NC and wrap October 23 in Minnesota. The European tour launches October 27 with a festival appearance at the Bluesfest at O2 Arena in LondonRICKIE LEE’s tour dates follow the release of KICKS, her newest collection of songs from the great American songbook, which was released in June.

 
Check out a live clip of “Nagasaki,” the second single from KICKS. For her version of the song–which was first performed by the Ipana Troubadours in 1928 and was most famously recorded by the Benny Goodman Quartet in 1952–JONES gives the track a traditional jazz offering of tight three-part harmonies.

 

Here’s some early critical feedback from RICKIE LEE JONES’ recent live shows:
 
“…a joyously wondrous evening with one of America’s greatest living singer-songwriters…Jones enchanted an audience with a repertoire that was remarkably diverse in sound and style…Jones consistently made magic with her three-piece band.”

–Peter Blackstock, AUSTIN 360, 6-23-19

 
“Rickie Lee Jones shows Marina Del Rey the live jazzy style that made her famous…on a clear summer night, Jones played a range of jazzy bebop style tunes and kept the crowd enthralled with a voice that is still as youthful as when she recorded the 1979 hit ‘Chuck E’s In Love.’ She’s spunky and funky and fun.”
–Donna Balancia, CALIFORNIA ROCKER, 7-20-19
 
On KICKS RICKIE LEE JONES spans two decades (50s-70s) of pop, rock and jazz, presenting her unique and sophisticated interpretations of these songs. JONES is that rare musician who has transcended the singer/songwriter mantle by incorporating different radio genres from the get-go and she continues that tradition on the forthcoming album. It is fitting that one of the American treasures of songwriters should be comfortable with this diverse collection of the great songwriters of the 20th century. KICKS was created entirely in New Orleans, using local musicians,mixers and studios. Produced by RICKIE LEE JONES with her bandmate, vibraphonist Mike Dillionit features 10 songs of a highly infectious nature.

Alt-Americana artist MANDA MOSHER New Single + Music Video Out Today; Cover Of John Moreland’s “Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore”

“NOBODY GIVES A DAMN ABOUT SONGS ANYMORE”

Alt-Americana singer, songwriter and musician MANDA MOSHER has shared the video for her new single “Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore,” which has been released today (7/26). It’s the Los Angeles native’s spirited take on the John Moreland song that will be featured on her third solo album out this fall on her Blackbird Record Label. Directed by Bob Wayne (http://bobwayne.com/) and shot at multiple locations in the San Fernando Valley, the music video was premiered this past Wednesday (7/24) at The Bluegrass Situation. The uplifting clip, which heartwarmingly underlines the importance of songs, can be seen streaming below.
Describing the storyline, MOSHER says: “When thinking of a video concept for ‘Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore,’ the imagery that came to mind was knocking on doors with your songs in tow, as that’s often how it feels as a songwriter and musician. You’re looking for the right person and audience that your music speaks to, and a lot of doors close before the right ones open. We wanted it to have some levity, so we called in some friends and had some fun with the door to door aspect, finally finding acceptance from a child. Even within a technological industry that has stripped away artist’s ability to make money from their art, artists continue to create because that’s what we do. It’s for the love of it first: ‘Blessed with a curse.'”

Originally intended as a song to record with CALICO the band, her previous group, it’s been reborn with impassioned harmonies by her guitarist Eric Craig and resounds as fervent proof why songs still matter and always will. For a digital download of “Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore,” go here: http://smarturl.it/nobodygivesadamn
 
“On the new album, I’m returning to my rock n’ roll roots while incorporating elements of the California Country sound I’ve been known for more recently,” says MOSHER. “You’re gonna hear an honest representation of the music, keeping the influence of technology on the production to a minimum in the tradition of some of my favorite recordings from artists that shaped me like Tom Petty, Lucinda Williams, and Wilco. I can’t wait to share it with everyone.”
 
The award-winning artist and entrepreneur will celebrate the release of Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore tonight and tomorrow with two gigs in California, to be followed by an August show at the Hotel Café in Los Angeles. In September, she’ll head to Nashville to take part in AMERICANAFEST including performing at The California Country Show–an event she co-founded in association with her own record label, California Country Records. Dates are listed as follows:
 
Fri 7/26 – Ojai, CA – Ojai Deer Lodge
Sat 7/27 – Los Angeles, CA – EB’s Bar Stage at The Original Farmers Market
Wed 8/21 – Los Angeles, CA – Hotel Café
Fri 9/13 – Nashville, TN – The California Country Show, official AMERICANAFEST event
Fri 9/13 – Nashville, TN – The California Country Shake-Up (The California Country Show After Show)
Sat 9/14 – Nashville, TN – The Shubb Copacabana at AMERICANAFEST @ Vinyl Tap

TASH SULTANA Returns To North America For Cross-Country Tour

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
DATE:        JULY 23, 2019
 
 
FROM:       MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER/KELLY WALSH
 
 
 
TASH SULTANA
RETURNS TO NORTH AMERICA
FOR CROSS-COUNTRY TOUR
 
DATES KICK OFF SEPTEMBER 3 WITH STOPS IN
NEW YORK (CENTRAL PARK SUMMERSTAGE),
LOS ANGELES (OHANA FESTIVAL)
AND COLORADO (RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE)
 

Multi-instrumentalist and global sensation TASH SULTANA will return to North America for a fall 2019 tour that includes stops at Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Colorado) and the Central Park Summerstage (New York), along with a slot on the Ohana Festival (Los Angeles). The newly announced tour dates mark the largest headlining gigs in TASH‘s career and come after a few spring shows in the U.S., followed by solo performances and festival appearances this summer in Europe.

Here’s some critical feedback from the recent U.S. shows:
 
“The Australian artist–who has identified as non-binary and goes by the pronoun “they”–is exotic and androgynous, just like their music…[songs] showcased long, cascading guitar solos and Sultana’s soulful voice. While it was just one person onstage during the entire set, it sounded like a full band, with Sultana playing multiple instruments for each song and looping in sounds they’d created.”
MAGNET MAGAZINE (Shakey Knees Music Festival, Atlanta), 7/5/19
 
“…Sultana to jam away and transform each song into something entirely new. Sultana was patient, letting each song expand to its maximum tripadelic potential. Salvation let her squeal out tones like Clapton; the seductive Free Mind washed waves of loneliness through the amps; Jungle‘s wocka-wocka funk let her riff around like Prince or Sly Stone. She started each beat; she would stop it when she darn well pleased.”
–Jay Cridlin,TAMPA BAY TIMES (Jannus Live), 5/8/19
 
Last year was one of the biggest years in TASH‘s career. Highlights include the release of her debut album FLOW STATE (Mom and Pop Music) which entered the charts at #4 on the Billboard Alternative Albums Chart and also charted across the globe. FLOW STATE was also nominated for the prestigious Triple J Australian Album of the Year award and six ARIA’s (The Australian Recording Industry Association Music Awards). Other recent accolades include over half a billion streams worldwide; the certified platinum singles “Jungle” and “Notion”; the certified Gold (internationally) Notion (EP) and the singles “Mystik” and “Murder To The Mind”; and record-breaking attendance at live shows around the world.
 
For those who have not yet experienced TASH live, TASH recently revealed “The Story So Far,” a three-part documentary series in partnership with YouTube Music that shows the journey from bedroom performances and busking to sold-out world tours. Check out the first two episodes now on TASH‘s channel here and here, with the third to follow this summer.

About TASH SULTANA:
 
TASH has been playing music since her grandfather gave her a guitar at just three years of age to using fake IDs throughout high school to play open mic nights and busking regularly on the streets of Melbourne. Stories of TASH‘s mesmerizing talent eventually began to spread and before long, her Facebook and YouTube videos were receiving tens of millions of views. Now reaching far beyond the streets of Melbourne, TASH SULTANA‘s passion for music has thoroughly engaged a global audience who are hungry for more. To date, TASH has earned praise from the New York Times, Billboard, NYLON, Pigeons & Planes and more, an NPR Tiny Desk concert, and a U.S. national TV debut on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”
 
TASH sold out every single date on her first ever U.S. tour before ever setting foot in the country, returning just a few months later for another completely sold-out tour. Since then, TASH has returned to the U.S. for additional headlining tours, selling out major theatres and arenas and showing no sign of slowing down.
 
TASH SULTANA continues to broaden her global audience and appeal through her incredible live performances including appearances at internationally renowned festivals such as Coachella, Governor’s Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Outside Lands, in addition to recent appearances at Shaky Knees, Bottlerock, and California Roots Music & Arts Festival.

GODSMACK’S “Under Your Scars” Hits #1, Marks Career First For Band With Three #1 Singles From The Same Album

BAND RELEASE LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEO FOR
“UNDER YOUR SCARS”
HONORING FANS THAT HAVE IMPACTED THEM
THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREER
 
GODSMACK TOUR EXTENDED
THROUGH LATE OCTOBER WITH
HALESTORM SUPPORTING
 
GODSMACKSully Erna [vocals, guitar], Tony Rombola [guitar], Robbie Merrill [bass] and Shannon Larkin [drums]–have achieved a career first by scoring three #1 singles from the same album.
 
This week, “Under Your Scars,”the third single from the band’s WHEN LEGENDS RISE (BMG) album, has ascended to #1 on the Active Rock Chart. This marks the group’s third #1 rock hit from their current album. “Under Your Scars” follows 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.
 
“What a proud moment to be able to announce that “Under Your Scars” has officially gone #1 in the country!” says SULLY ERNA. “To have any song reach #1 is such an honor. But to have three in a row on one album is unreal. Feeling blessed!”
 
The newly released video for the song showcases GODSMACK’s electrifying live performances alongside heartfelt backstage exchanges with the group’s fans over the years. Check out the video for “Under Your Scars,” here.
 

 

To coincide with the release of “Under Your Scars,”Sully Erna announced the creation of The Scars Foundation to support ongoing mental health struggles facing so many. For more information, please click here.
 
“I’ve realized that ‘Under Your Scars’ has become such an important song to me for so many reasons,” SULLY says. “It’s the first time Godsmack has decided to put this kind of a ballad on an album–which was pretty ballsy for us. I’m so happy that the fans have embraced it in the way they have, because the meaning behind it is so much bigger than any of us.
 
“It also reminds me that taking all the credit without acknowledging the people or events that have touched our lives deeply enough to inspire songs like these would just be wrong.
 
“So humbly I will say, this song came to me shortly after I had spent some quality time with someone who I consider a dear friend, and have grown to admire and respect as one of the smartest and most talented artists today, Stefani Germanotta, who most of you may know as Lady Gaga. In the short amount of time we hung out, she made me realize that we all have these imperfections, these wounds that we carry (whether they’re physical or emotional) that cut so deep they can cripple us.
 
“These feelings leave us vulnerable, or embarrassed, or even unworthy at times. And our human nature–when they’re exposed–is to shut down, rather than embrace them and realize that not only can we overcome them, but we can also become an inspiration to inspire others to have a voice and find their inner strength to show their scars off loudly and proudly to the world.  Our ‘Scars’ are nothing more than our battle wounds from life and they helped mold you into who you are today.
 
“All of this is what drove us to create ‘The Scars Foundation,’ our new non-profit organization battling everything from severe depression to addiction, bullying, suicide prevention and so on.
 
“Finding acceptance, that’s what ‘Under Your Scars’ and what ‘The Scars Foundation,’ are about. We’re all imperfect–that’s what makes us perfect!”

GODSMACK have spent more than a year on the road, both in North America and throughout Europe in support of their WHEN LEGENDS RISE album. They just wrapped the European and U.K. dates on their in-progress world tour and are currently headlining a run of North American shows (including a July 23 New York City show at the Beacon Theatre) with special guests New Years Day. Next up is a stretch of festival appearances leading GODSMACK straight into the recently added fall shows with Halestorm supporting. The new dates kick off September 20 in Green Bay, WI and wrap October 18 in Tulsa, OK.
 
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 21st century hard rock titans. With an unbreakable spirit and diehard 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 over20 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.

16TH ANNUAL
‘CHRISTMAS ROCKS! TOUR’
VISITING OVER 20 CITIES
 
FEATURING MUSIC FROM THEIR THREE
BEST-SELLING HOLIDAY ALBUMS AND BRIAN’S NUMEROUS HITS

Iconic guitaristsongwritervocalist and three-time Grammy-Award winner BRIAN SETZER and his 19-piece ORCHESTRA will tour the country on their 16th annual “Christmas Rocks! Tour,” presented for the fifth consecutive year by SiriusXM. The over 20-city annual and critically acclaimed holiday extravaganza will launch November 15 at the State Theatre in Minneapolis, MN (full itinerary below). Tickets in participating markets will go sale Friday, July 26 at 10:00 AM(local time), pre-sales are as follows:

 

  • Fan club Presale: Tuesday, July 23 at 10:00 AM (local time)-Thursday, July 25 at 10:00 PM (local). Be the first to get tickets by signing up for Brian’s fan club here.
  • SiriusXM Presale: Tuesday, July 23 at 10:00 AM (local time)-Thursday, July 25 at 10:00 PM (local).
  • Local Presale: Wednesday, July 24 at 10:00 AM (local time)-Thursday, July 25 at 10:00 PM (local).

 

“People tell me all the time what joy I bring them over the holidays,” says BRIAN SETZER. “I don’t take this for granted. People don’t say something like that unless they mean it. When we get a standing ovation at the end of the Christmas show, it means something just a little extra.”
 
THE BRIAN SETZER ORCHESTRA‘s set list will feature music from the group’s three Christmas albums, BOOGIE WOOGIE CHRISTMASDIG THAT CRAZY CHRISTMAS and ROCKIN’ RUDOLPH, as well as original material that spans his 40-year career. SETZER’s trademark guitar work and vocal stylings will be matched with his 19-piece orchestra‘s rockin’ big-band horn arrangements, making for a reliably unbeatable combination. View the Christmas sizzle reel here.
 
BRIAN SETZER‘s legendary career has led him through four critically acclaimed and successful phases from the Stray Cats, to solo albums, the Rockabilly Riot and The Brian Setzer Orchestra. The Brian Setzer Orchestra show seamlessly encompasses music from all these phases. He is a 3-time Grammy Award-winner, and in 2014, SETZER received the distinct honor of being asked by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. to donate a replica of his original 1959 Gretsch 6120 “Stray Cat” guitar, joining an elite collection of iconic treasures at the museum.
 
“The music I play in the big band is rock n’ roll with a jazz influence,” says SETZER. “What keeps it fresh is the quality of the players in the band. Also, a big part of keeping the big band fresh is the arrangements; writing the arrangement for 19 people is like writing a song within a song. It makes the song you might have heard many times sound new again.”
 
For the past four years (2015, 20162017 and 2018), THE BRIAN SETZER ORCHESTRA has had a strong presence across SiriusXM channels during the holidays and has partnered with the audio entertainment company for subscriber-only concerts in New York City and Los Angeles, which have aired on SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country and Holly channels. This tradition will continue this year.

LIVE CRITICAL QUOTES FOR LAST YEAR’S
“15TH ANNUAL CHRISTMAS ROCKS! TOUR”
 
“…it was no surprise to see that Setzer’s 15th Anniversary Christmas showcase with a rich 19-piece ensemble at the grand Academy of Music found its crowd with as many families looking for a good, clean night out, as it did many a spikey, grey haired sort. And the fact is, those crowds-and anyone in-between-got a damned good, entertaining time…But, as advertised, they rocked. Hard. And swung. Deep. And from there, propelled the expressive, blues-lick-happy Setzer (and his band membership) into quickly, flickering and imaginative solos. It’s easy to forget this fact until you hear him live and loud: Setzer is one of America’s best guitarists, past and present, hands down. Hearing his brand of six-string slinging in a setting so (now) well-known makes you yearn to hear him in other combinations and with other equally audacious players. With that, this Christmas show of Setzer’s reinvented itself beyond the cheer of the November-December holiday season into something manic, panicked and pulsating in a fashion only the best big bands could do.”
A.D. Amarosi, THE KEY, 11/26/18 (Philadelphia, PA show)
 
“For 15 years, Brian Setzer and his ‘orchestra’ have been tapping the Christmas well with an upbeat extravaganza that gets bigger and better every season…Setzer is undoubtedly a master showman and picker with incredible timing, dexterity and a classical crooner’s voice. He seems to be having the time of his life up there. And it likely helps that everyone on that stage measures up to Setzer’s standards, enriching the chemistry with solos, interaction and other feats of virtuosity.”
Shawn PerryVINTAGE ROCK, 12/28/18 (Los Angeles show)
 
“I walked into the State Theater on Friday, November 16th I was expecting a full on holiday show, but what I got was something far more than that…The Orchestra closed the main set with Setzer’s most famous creation “Rock This Town” once the opening notes of that hit the crowd jumped up and rushed the stage. The dancing and singing spread like wild fire, even the balcony was getting in on the action. For the encore Setzer and his Christmas Orchestra covered four parts from ‘The Nutcracker ballet. They ended the night with one of the most recognizable Christmas songs ever ‘Jingle Bells.’As I stood three feet from the stage in the isle (as well as dozens of other fans), a huge grin came over my face as we all watched a man in a Santa suit run out on the stage and toss candy canes into the audience. It was the perfect was to end this Holiday show.”
Cameron CampbellTWIN CITIES MEDIA, 11/18/18 (Minneapolis, MN show)
 
“Now in its 15th year, Brian Setzer’s annual holiday tour has become a legendary extravaganza. The rockabilly guitar slinger loves Christmas and really gets into the spirit. The powerful set provided the middle-aged crowd with a feel-good evening of Setzer’s special brand showmanship and roots-influenced and surf-drenched rockabilly-inspired Christmas music…As always, Setzer adhered to the “leave on a high note” and “always leave them wanting more” showbiz credo when he and his band brought the entire audience to its feet with the evening’s closing number ‘Jingle Bells.’ This energetic and fun version of the holiday tune had members of the audience, ushers, roadies and musicians all grinning from ear to ear.”
Mike PerciaccanteALL ABOUT JAZZ, 12/2/18 (Los Angeles show)
 
“It’s been 15 years since Brian Setzer and his orchestra started bringing his rockin’ Christmas show to audiences during the holiday tour season.  It is one of the most popular Christmas shows around the country. A fun, upbeat time where fans dress up in their yuletide best which means everything from lights, to tinsel and crazy Christmas sweaters!  There were many of those at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater on Wednesday night!”
Vicky SullivanTHE SARASOTA POST, 12/6/18 (Clearwater, FL show)
 
“I can’t think of a better way to kick off the holiday season, than by checking out the Brian Setzer Orchestra on their ‘Christmas Rocks!’ tour…Setzer described the sound of his orchestra as a “Cadillac that just run perfect.” He showcased that power by taking the audience to the next level with his cover of the Louis Prima classic ‘Jump, Jive and Wail.’ Setzer would also perform others covers that night, including The Beatles’ ‘Hey Bulldog’ and the Johnny Cash classic ‘Ring Of Fire.’ The youthful side of Brian Setzer came pouring out as the rockabilly trio of Setzer’s longtime bassist Johnny Hatton and drummer Noah Levy came together for an explosion of energy performing the Stray Cats’ ‘Fishnet Stockings.’…Setzer closed out the set with another Stray Cats classic, “Rock This Town,” as everyone was swinging to the rockabilly sound.
Jim Pasinski, MY RECORD JOURNAL, 11/26/18 (Mashantucket, CT show)

Outlaw Country Rocker JASON CHARLES MILLER Shares New Music Video, Announces Fall Tour Dates

OUTLAW COUNTRY ROCKER
JASON CHARLES MILLER

SHARES MUSIC VIDEO FOR
“GET THEE BEHIND ME”

ANNOUNCES FALL TOUR DATES & MUDDY ROOTS FESTIVAL APPEARANCE
8/20 – 10/3

Award-winning singer-songwriter, musician and voice-over actor JASON CHARLES MILLER has unveiled a new music video for his powerful single “Get Thee Behind Me,” which features guest performances by Dug Pinnick (King’s X), ‘Cowboy’ Eddie Long and Duane Betts (son of founding Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts). The track is taken from MILLER‘s recent album IN THE WASTELAND (SONY/RED MUSIC) which combines elements of outlaw country, Americana and Southern rock.
Filmed in the Southern California desert near the Salton Sea and directed by Andrew Fogel (The League of S.T.E.A.M.), the video alludes to the Christian story of the Temptation of Christ and contemplates the struggle of good versus evil. Watch it below or on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NFPBZwomdc.
“Get thee behind me
’cause the devil won’t show what he know you don’t know”
“When writing the lyrics for this album, I was really inspired by the struggle of good versus evil,” shares MILLER. “Whether you’re a Christian or not, most people are at least casually aware of the story of the Temptation of Christ, where Jesus wanders in the desert for 40 days and is tested and tempted by Satan. Taking more of a secular view of a very religious story, I decided to write the lyrics from Satan’s point of view–how he kept getting more and more frustrated with Jesus and finally left. So of course I had to play Satan in the video, at least part of the time! The rest of the time I’m just myself, retracing the steps of what happened.”


MILLER elaborates: “To mix things up a bit, since visually the video looks very apocalyptic, we decided to add the four horsemen of the apocalypse: Conquest, War, Death and Famine, portrayed by four amazing women on motorcycles.”

 

“Well he cast me down, to the underground

I’m gonna raise my throne, you’re gonna hear my sound”

 

 

Jason Charles Miller - Get Thee Behind Me (Official Music Video)

 

MILLER embarks August 20 on a headline month-long trek across the U.S. plus a few shows supporting the Allman Betts Band and an appearance at Muddy Roots Music Festival in Tennessee. Next, MILLER will return to California for the annual Wasteland Weekland, where he’s previously performed; the festival is featured in the music video for the album’s title track, “In The Wasteland.” Look for MILLER to also perform at the Whisky-A-Go-Go on October 3. Full dates are listed below.
In The Wasteland was mixed and produced by Grammy Award winner Matt Hyde (Jonny Lang, No Doubt, Deftones) and features drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, John Fogerty).The album’s additional musical guests include two members from Lynyrd Skynyrd–guitarist Rickey Medlocke and keyboardist Peter Keys–legendary soul vocalist Brenda Lee Eager (Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and Diana Ross), Blackberry Smoke vocalist Charlie Starr, and guitarist Adam Shoenfeld (Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean).
MILLER is also widely recognized as the founder of the rock band Godhead. He’s also written songs with Billy Ray Cyrus, Rickey Medlocke, Charlie Starr, Marilyn Manson and Ben Moody (Evanescence) and has been awarded three gold records. Hismusic has been featured on such TV shows as “True Blood,” “The NFL Today,” “The Deadliest Catch” and “Critical Role.”
 
MILLER is a voice-over actor who has appeared in over 100 cartoons and video games and is the on-camera host of the popular Geek & Sundry show “Starter Kit,” which teaches celebrities how to play role-playing games. He recently appeared at the San Diego Comic Con speaking on the Geek & Sundry Presents: All Things RPG-E Panel, followed by a surprise acoustic performance for Legion M‘s official SDCC party at TCL Rooftop.

MANDA MOSHER
ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR NEW ALBUM

 

DEBUT SINGLE TO LAUNCH NEXT WEEK WITH
COVER OF JOHN MORELAND’S
“NOBODY GIVES A DAMN ABOUT SONGS ANYMORE”
DIGITAL PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE NOW

(Photo Credit: Shots By Morrison)
 
Alt-Americana artist MANDA MOSHER has announced plans to release her third solo album this fall on her Blackbird Record Label. The album’s debut track and video will be released next Friday, July 26-it’s the Los Angeles native’s spirited take on John Moreland‘s “Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore .” You can hear a brief snippet of the song and find a digital pre-order here:
 
“On the new album, I’m returning to my rock n’ roll roots while incorporating elements of the California Country sound I’ve been known for more recently,” shares MOSHER. “You’re gonna hear an honest representation of the music, keeping the influence of technology on the production to a minimum in the tradition of some of my favorite recordings from artists that shaped me like Tom Petty, Lucinda Williams, and Wilco. I can’t wait to share it with everyone.”
 
Originally intended as a song to record with CALICO the band, her previous group, it’s been reborn with impassioned harmonies by her guitarist Eric Craig and resounds as fervent proof why songs still matter and always will.
 
The award-winning singer-songwriter, musician and entrepreneur has launched two record labels (California Country Records and Blackbird Record Label), an apparel company (California Country Apparel), a recording facility, and co-founded the California Country Social event, AMERICANAFEST– which has been updated for 2019 as The California Country Show where she will be hosting and performing this fall in Nashville.
 
MOSHER recently performed in Los Angeles alongside Brian Whelan. It was a rousing performance, with Live Music News & Reviews stating, “This memorable show was a testament to Mosher’s talent to captivate and hold the audience’s attention. The high energy and driving performance lingered in the music listener’s mind long after the last note was played.” (Harriet Kaplan, July 2, 2019).
