PAMELA DES BARRES Returns By Popular Demand To The Whisky A Go Go In LA 3/17

DATE: JANUARY 9, 2024

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/ANDREA FAULK

PAMELA DES BARRES
RETURNS BY POPULAR DEMAND TO THE WHISKY A GO GO
IN LOS ANGELES
SUNDAY, MARCH 17

TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE
FOR THE OUTRAGEOUS
“TAKE ANOTHER LITTLE PIECE OF MY HEART”

Following the wild success of her sold-out debut last year at the world-famous Whisky a Go Go—as well as performances in London and Brussels—Miss PAMELA DES BARRES returns by popular demand to her home-away-from-home for an exclusive performance produced by Polly Parsons. Join acclaimed author DES BARRES, “the world’s most famous groupie,” on March 17 at 6:30pm for an intimate evening of outrageous firsthand experiences recounted by an insider who had a front-row seat to the music and culture that changed the world. Get tickets here.

PAMELA’s stories about the rock stars and rogues of the Sunset Strip include such iconic names as the Doors, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the Byrds, and the Who. Step into the hallowed ground of the electric church through the funny, tender, sexy and salaciously divine tales of rock ‘n’ roll’s finest muse. Billed as “Take Another Little Piece of My Heart,” the roughly two-hour show concludes with a Q&A session hosted by her ex-husband and legendary rock star Michael Des Barres.

“I’ve done lots of readings through the years and my ‘asides’ seemed to steal the show every time. I enjoyed the response, so I decided to throw in a lot more off the cuff memories for people to go gaga over!” says PAMELA, whose many books include her iconic I’m With The Band: Confessions of a Groupie, Take Another Little Piece of My Heart, and Let It Bleed: How To Write a Rockin’ Memoir.

She adds: “I read from my books, play song snippets from my inspirations and beaus, show wild photos, and share a peek into my teenage diaries and rockin’ memories. I lived smack dab in the center of the most revolutionary musical explosion in history and spent quality time with eternal rock & roll icons.” View archival photos here.

What does PAMELA want audiences to take away from seeing the show? “Joy, joy, and more joy! I love taking them onstage, backstage for a rollicking ride into my groupie heart!”

Michael Des Barres says, “One talks about the 60s as being a great liberation for teenage America. At the forefront of that feminist revolution was Miss Pamela Miller, not Gloria Steinem. Miss Pamela lived her life the way she wanted to, and not only that she had the most beautiful smile on her face while doing it.”

The producer of “Take Another Little Piece of My Heart” is Polly Parsons, daughter of the legendary Gram Parsons. “Pamela’s insight and love is palpable in this show,” says Polly. “Her wit and charm deliver us into another realm where rock gods and their muses create some of the most important art of a generation and Ms. Pamela offers The Key: the ultimate backstage pass.”

PAMELA is hoping to bring the show to more cities. “New Orleans, of course, Las Vegas, Boston, Nashville, Chicago, Detroit, Denver, San Francisco—on and on! I’d like to tour the whole world with this show. I’ve still got my wits about me and there are very few flower children left to tell the trippy tale, especially this one.”

You wore sunglasses at night. The choruses were big, and the hooks were bigger—the party didn’t end.”

Coming off a dynamic 2023 which saw the release of his acclaimed collaborations album ACCOMPLICE TWO, a Grammy nomination, and “Lifetime Achievement” Award from The National GUITAR Museum, TOMMY EMMANUEL is starting 2024 where he brilliantly shines—on the stage—with his infectious guitar virtuosity and charismatic personality.

Between January 10-February 2, the acoustic guitarist extraordinaire, composer, and global touring artist will headline shows in the UK (with support act Molly Tuttle), Ireland (with Mike Dawes) and Paris (with Clive Carroll) before returning to the US on February 20 in Tulsa, OK. See his U.S. tour dates below (with support acts Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley) and the full international tour dates here.

Tommy Emmanuel receiving The National GUITAR Museum’s “Lifetime Achievement” Award for 2023

This past December, The National GUITAR Museum bestowed TOMMY with its annual “Lifetime Achievement” Award for 2023. He’s the fourteenth recipient of the award that most recently (2022) celebrated Jeff Beck.

“To watch Tommy play fingerstyle guitar is to see possibilities in the guitar that most guitarists don’t even know exist,” according to HP Newquist, the executive director of The National GUITAR Museum. “Tommy’s extraordinary skill is second to none among modern guitar players. He truly is one of the few players in history about whom the term “jaw-dropping” is perfectly suited. Over his decades-long career he has become both an icon and an inspiration, and we’re honored to be able to recognize Tommy’s contribution to the guitar with this award.”

Said TOMMY: “I want to thank the National Guitar Museum for this wonderful honor. I feel like it was yesterday when I started playing this beautiful instrument,” said Tommy. “I will always be grateful to my parents for nurturing us kids as youngsters, encouraging us and exposing us to good music, and the artists who exemplified the words “Talented Entertainers”. The guitar has taken me places I could never have dreamed of, introduced me to audiences all over the world that I now have a relationship with, and kept that fire burning in my belly, to keep trying to learn more, play better, write deeper and give it all up on stage to the people I love playing for. I owe so much to so many who came before me and laid it all out. We, the lucky generation, have big shoes to fill.”

TOMMY EMMANUEL’s current album ACCOMPLICE TWO (the follow-up to 2018’s Accomplice One album) was released this past April via CGP Sounds. Produced lovingly by EMMANUEL, regarded by guitar great Chet Atkins as “one of the best guitar players I’ve ever seen,” the 16-track ACCOMPLICE TWO is a spirited mix of new takes on indelible classics and brand-new originals from TOMMY. His collaborators are some of the most remarkable musicians on the planet—an “A” list of musicians including Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Michael McDonald, Jamey Johnson, Raul Malo, and many more (the full list is HERE). View the album’s critical praise HERE. EMMANUEL has continued to release videos including most recently these, filmed by Joshua Britt and Neilson Hubbard for Neighborhoods Apart.

ACCOMPLICE TWO is alive with the electric spirit of spontaneous, timeless joy created by inspired virtuosos. The combined artistry contained on these tracks is stunning, as is TOMMY’s cheerful ease at connecting naturally with this vast spectrum of musicians. Like the first volume, he merges the presence of beloved, legendary musicians—such as Jorma Kaukonen, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Little Feat, Sam Bush, the Del McCoury Band and Jerry Douglas—with the bright spirit of acclaimed young artists breaking through with deep artistry and true reverence for the power of song.

ABOUT TOMMY EMMANUEL:

TOMMY EMMANUEL has achieved enough musical milestones to satisfy several lifetimes. At the age of six, he 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 CPG (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). 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. On May 8, 2020, he released a newly recorded career-spanning double album, THE BEST OF TOMMYSONGS, via CGP Sounds/Cruzen Street Records). Watch the album trailer here which focuses on TOMMY’s unique ability to tell stories without words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SOQEMWYAQ4&feature=youtu.be. EMMANUEL subsequently released three EP’s with different collaborators, Accomplice Series Vol. 1, 2 and 3, the last of which was in 2022.

ABOUT CLAYTON SHAY

Nashville-based artist Clayton Shay is known for his clever, narrative songwriting, fusing elements of pop, alt-rock, and Southern roots rock into his compelling country sound. Inspired by vocalists like Chris Young and Keith Whitley, his effortless country-pop ballads reveal a knack for dynamic storytelling, each supported by a cinematic music video—many of which have been featured on CMT. Shay fronted several rock bands and performed solo acoustic sets in Illinois before his songwriting led him to Nashville in 2018, where he joined international country-rock act Blackjack Billy, playing bass to crowds of 30,000+ on their Canadian and US tours. In 2019, he shifted focus to his solo career and dropped his debut single “Girl Like You” in 2020, a catchy, country-pop love song that quickly racked up over a million streaming plays. His 2nd single “Signed, Another Man” reached over 3 million streams and earned him the #34 spot on the iTunes Country Chart, and its accompanying music video hit over 6 million YouTube views. In 2021, Shay dropped his 3rd single “Knee On”, followed by “Reckless” in November 2021, which charted at #19 on the iTunes Country Chart. His recent single “Good for Nuthin,” released April 2022, is a twangy anthem driven by electric guitar and an easy, rebellious spirit. Produced by Colt Capperune, Shay’s songs explore the ups and downs of romance: love, loss, lust, and everything in between.

ABOUT TREY LEWIS

With a pair of home-grown hits behind him and plenty more in the tank, River House Artists/Sony Music Publishing singer-songwriter Trey Lewis has emerged as the straight-talking, salt-of-the-earth hero country fans crave. A Birmingham, Alabama, native known for breaking country’s unspoken rules, he’s spent 12 years on the road perfecting a gritty mix of contemporary country and Southern rock – and turning his call-it-like-I-see it attitude into song. After the breakout smash, “Dicked Down In Dallas,” went viral in 2020, Lewis’ cheating anthem with a modern punch has turned into an organic Number One on iTunes, garnering more than 100 million streams and making Lewis a nationwide force in the process. He followed up with another self-styled iTunes Number One in 2022 – the back-in-the-saddle anthem, “Single Again” – and has continued building a reputation fusing country horsepower with refreshing honesty and a troubadour’s wit ever since. But that reputation now broadens, as a bigger picture comes into view. Set for release in 2023, the perennial underdog and relentless road warrior will showcase his true character and full artistry on Troublemaker, adding a hard-earned sense of compassion to his full-length Nashville debut. The fittingly titled set will feature 15 new songs and Lewis’ patented mix of intensity and sincerity, proving the world could use a few more troublemakers like him.

ABOUT CORT CARPENTER

Many say the Pacific Northwest “Isn’t Country”. But Cort Carpenter begs to differ. A decade in Nashville has proven to be very successful for this Washington State boy. An indie artist on the rise, Cort continues to wow audiences and listeners around the world. Cort has been nominated for 5 consecutive years at the JMA’s (world’s biggest indie music awards) and won “Male Entertainer of the Year” in 2017. Although unsigned, his dedication and competitiveness have landed him on the main stage on many of the biggest country music festivals nationwide. Cort was also recently featured at Live Nation’s (Watershed Music Festival) on the “Next from Nashville stage”. As he continues accomplish the near impossible as an indie artist, Cort continues to gain more attention from industry folks in Music City.

On the music front, Cort has released a ton of music since his arrival in 2012, and many say has the most underrated original release catalog in Nashville. Approaching his 50th song release, Cort released his first full length album on February 10th. Titled “All In”, and including many of Nashville powerhouse songwriters (Gorley, Robbins, Smyers, Mooney, Johnston, Sorestad, etc…), the album includes 10 songs. “This album I feel encapsulates my voice, sound, and vibe that best represents Cort Carpenter. So much thought, effort, love, and time went into this album, I’m hopeful it’s heard by the right people who will take the chance on me and run with it. I’ve went all-in on this record.”

Before the release of this album, Cort’s released multiple EP’s and numerous singles. “My entire catalog I feel is diverse but stays true to who I am. It’s neat to have such a large selection of tunes that my fans all say they have different favorites. That means I’m doing something right by appealing to everyone”.

Having played over 1,000+ shows over the past decade, Cort’s live performance is one you won’t want to miss on tour or when he’s performing in Nashville next time you visit. Truly, Mr. Carpenter is one of Nashville’s hidden gems who is on the brink of stardom. Be sure to keep track of his tour dates.

On the home front, Cort enjoys hanging out with family and spending time with his wife, Kelly, whom he married on May 17th, 2014. In June 2021 Cort & Kelly had their first child, a boy, named Lux. “Fatherhood is the greatest thing I have ever experienced. Cort also heads his own foundation, Cort Carpenter Cares, which launched in 2015. This organization assists homeless animals & humans.

LITTLE MISS NASTY—Purveyors Of Sex, Art, And Rebellion—Debuts Their NYC Residency At The Paradise Club In The Edition Hotel On February 2

DATE: DECEMBER 6, 2023

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/ANDREA FAULK, SRO PR

LITTLE MISS NASTY,
PURVEYORS OF SEX, ART, AND REBELLION,
SET TO TAKE OVER TIMES SQUARE
WITH THEIR SPECTACULAR 2024 NEW YORK RESIDENCY
AT THE PARADISE CLUB IN THE EDITION HOTEL,
DEBUTING FEBRUARY 2

TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE FOR SIX WEEKEND SHOWS
IN FEBRUARY HERE

WATCH THE VIDEO PROMO HERE

“Little Miss Nasty Unleashes Storm of Empowerment and Eroticism”
– Vegas 411, 11/23/2023

Armed with their distinctive brew of sex, art, and rebellion, LITTLE MISS NASTY are ready to take over Times Square with their forthcoming NYC residency at the Paradise Club in the Edition Hotel. Tickets are now on sale HERE for six weekend shows taking place February 2-3, February 9-10 and February 15-16 (doors at 7pm; show at 8pm). Watch the video promo HERE.

Coming off their triumphant 21-city fall “Bad Girls Romance” tour, the professionally choreographed take-no-prisoners live experience features some of the entertainment industry’s best dancers, aerialists, vocalists, and contortionists. They’ve consistently been turning heads, opening minds, and earning acclaim. LITTLE MISS NASTY also recently (October 17) unveiled the video for “Bad Girls Romance” from their upcoming debut album WEAPON OF CHOICE out in the first quarter of 2024 (exact date TBA). Watch the video HERE and listen to the darkly alluring, electro-driven single HERE. Read a lively Q&A with LMN’s iconoclastic leader, singer, and songwriter GINA KATON HERE.

“Even though we’ve already made a splash in New York earlier this year with a killer residency in Brooklyn at House of Yes,” says KATON, “we are now beyond excited to move the show into New York Fuckin’ City proper! There’s something about the energy being right in the thick of it in Manhattan that is just so epic! Plus we will be able to reach a much bigger and broader audience in Times Square and that will give us the ability to spread the message of LMN much more rapidly than when we were out in Bushwick. And ‘Little Miss Nasty on Broadway’ or maybe ‘Broadway Gets Nasty’ both have nice rings to them!”

LITTLE MISS NASTY is an electrifying spectacle full of over-the-top visuals and blazingly cool music from Korn, Slipknot, NIN, Rob Zombie, Gina and The Eastern Block, RATM, IC3PEAK and others along with surprises that leave jaws on the floor and memories fired up. Audiences at sold-out residences in Las Vegas, LA and NYC have experienced a sensually charged evening that’s “off the leash” with these seductive global icons of dark performance art and rebellious burlesque. As LITTLE MISS NASTY says about audiences at their shows, “You have permission to be your Nasty, authentic self!”

“The rawness of our live stage show forces us to push through any sort of boundaries that we may have,” says KATON. “We’re ALL IN. There’s no holding back. We are not faking anything. What you see is true passion and real heartfelt performances. To “go there” you have to be 100% comfortable with yourself and your fellow LMN babes.”
