Poster and logo created and designed by Roger Dean

In advance of next week’s launch of YES‘ much-anticipated North American “The Royal Affair Tour,” the prog rock pioneers and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees have released online a nearly 40-minute documentary, “YES 50: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.” View it here: https://youtu.be/-6cAAWlg-Ok This documentary is a teaser to the forthcoming Rhino release, YES 50 LIVE, due for release on August 2, although advanced copies will be available to fans exclusively at “The Royal Affair Tour” shows later in the tour.

Directed by Paul Gosling, the documentary had a limited release over Christmas to fans as a holiday present and has since been updated with another 15-minutes of exclusive performance footage and interviews with band members Steve Howe, Alan White, Geoff Downes, Billy Sherwood and Jon Davison plus current additional drummer Jay Schellen as well as former members Trevor Horn and Tony Kaye. World-renowned English artist and designer Roger Dean is also interviewed.

“As a long-standing fan of the band, following Yes on the road this year and last on their momentous 50th tour was a dream come true,” says Gosling. “Thank you to Steve Howe, Alan White and the band, Roger Dean, Tony Kaye and Trevor Horn for their co-operation in making this film.”

Roger Dean–whose masterful artwork has graced classic album covers and posters, most prominently by YES and Asia–is a special guest on “The Royal Affair Tour.” Headlined by prog rock pioneers and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees YES, the trek launches Wednesday, June 12 in Bethlehem, PA and wraps Sunday, July 28 in Saratoga, CA. See below for the full list of tour dates and go to www.yesworld.com/live for ticketing information plus meet-and-greet/VIP packages.

At every show on this must-see best-of-British-rock tour–also featuring Asia with the return of founding member Steve Howe in a special performance, John Lodge of The Moody Blues, and Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy with guest vocals by Arthur Brown—Roger Dean will be in the venue’s reception/foyer area with an exhibition of his artwork. He will also be available to sign merchandise including “The Royal Affair Tour” poster which he created and designed. His work–known for striking other-worldly landscapes–has sold more than one hundred million copies worldwide.

YES, the most enduring, ambitious, and virtuosic progressive band in rock history, is Steve Howe (guitar–joined 1970), Alan White (drums since 1972), Geoff Downes (keyboards; first joined in 1980), Jon Davison (vocals since 2011) and Billy Sherwood (guitar/keyboards in the 1990s and the late Chris Squire’s choice to take over bass/vocals in 2015), with Jay Schellen on additional drums.

“The Royal Affair Tour” commences on what would have been John Wetton‘s 70th birthday (June 12), so there will be a special celebration of his life at the Bethlehem, PA show. And Alan White‘s 70^th birthday (June 14) will be celebrated YES-style at the Farmingdale, New York show.

SRO Is The New MSO, Reflecting New Schneider/Rondan Partnership

DATE: JUNE 5, 2019

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER

MSO PR TO NOW BE KNOWN AS SRO PR

TO REFLECT THE PROMOTION OF MARCEE RONDAN TO PARTNER

AT THE LONG-RUNNING PUBLICITY COMPANY

WITH OFFICES IN LOS ANGELES AND NASHVILLE

What a difference a letter makes.

As it gets ready to celebrate the company’s 25^th anniversary in early 2020, the MITCH SCHNEIDER ORGANIZATION (MSO PR) becomes the SCHNEIDER/RONDAN ORGANIZATION (SRO PR) today, June 5, to reflect the promotion of Marcee Rondan from Executive Vice President to Partner, it was announced by the company’s founder, Mitch Schneider. The company will transition all its properties (website, social media platforms, email, etc.) in the coming weeks to SRO PR.

“Marcee has been a guiding light at MSO since the company’s inception in 1995, and I’m truly excited to officially welcome her as Partner,” says Schneider. “She’s been involved in key decisions about the company and its clients as well as overseeing employee policies that have strengthened us. This is all on top of Marcee being a terrific publicist who builds dynamic campaigns for our clients and expertly manages their best interests through the unpredictable scenarios that emerge in this 24/7 business. Her promotion opens a whole new chapter for the company.”

“So very proud to call Mitch ‘partner,’” Rondan says. “He’s been an inspiration to me and our entire staff, past and present, for years and I look forward to working alongside him as we continue to grow our business. It’s been an amazing experience so far and I’m happy to take on this role in an office in my beloved San Fernando Valley, where I grew up.”

Marcee will continue to work with America, Brian Setzer Orchestra, The Cult, Godsmack, Heart, Ozzy Osbourne, Rickie Lee Jones, the Stray Cats, and the Zappa Family Trust, along with such festivals as Made In America (Philadelphia), Ohana (Dana Point, CA) and Exit 111 (Manchester, TN).

Rondan first began working with Schneider at Levine/Schneider Public Relations as an intern in 1989 after graduating from the University of California at Irvine. At MSO, she became a Vice President in 1997, a Senior Vice President in 2000 and Executive Vice President in 2014.

SRO PR maintains offices in Los Angeles and Nashville, the latter of which is headed by Lyndie Wenner. With its iconic and cutting-edge artist roster–and its representation of internationally heralded music festivals, tours, events and companies–the company has the eyes and ears of America’s exuberant music fans. It has been hailed as a “bonafide taste maker” (L.A. Weekly, 2010) and by Music Connection (May 2019) as “one of the world’s premier public relations firms. The MSO roster is eclectic and encompassing. It includes various styles and genres, superstars, musical legends, festivals, award shows and emerging artists. That diversity enables MSO to obtain coverage in multiple outlets and mediums, from underground to mainstream.”

RICKIE LEE JONES Debuts “Lonely People” Video; First Track From Upcoming ‘Kicks’ Album Due June 7

DATE: MAY 15, 2019

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER

RICKIE LEE JONES

DEBUTS

“LONELY PEOPLE” VIDEO

TRACK IS THE FIRST FROM HER

UPCOMING ‘KICKS’ ALBUM

DUE OUT JUNE 7

U.S. TOUR DATES LAUNCH JUNE 1

IN NEW ORLEANS

Rickie Lee Jones – Lonely People

With the first single from her forthcoming album KICKS already spinning at radio, RICKIE LEE JONES has now released a video for her unique interpretation of the 1970s America hit “Lonely People.” The singer, songwriter and musician directed the video–filmed in her adopted hometown of New Orleans–in which she presents various incarnations of herself in an array of costumes amid multiple backdrops.

“The video for ‘Lonely People’ reflects the humor and strength of a singer who entered the fun house through the 1979 superstar door and came out 40 years later with a far less serious view of Rickie Lee,” she explains.

With the clip, she says, everyone needs to “make peace with the past incarnations of yourself. Don’t live ashamed of who you were…celebrate who you are. That is me now. That is Kicks. The subversive smile in a time when anger is the mantra of the masses.”

RICKIE LEE JONES on the set of the video for “Lonely People.”

KICKS, due out June 7, album 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.

In an interview last week with BILLBOARD—which noted that “Rickie Lee Jones is a master of taking apart popular songs to see how they tick”–RICKIE LEE talked about the inception of the album. “Those threads exist in my mind side-by-side,’ she tells Billboard about the unlikely connection between genres and decades on Kicks. ‘I heard those songs at [the same] time in my life, and they’re all planted in the same garden.'”

At radio, “Lonely People” is already garnering cross-country airplay with adds at KFMG–Des Moines, IA; KNBA–Anchorage, AK; KRCL–Salt Lake City, UT; KSUT–Durango, CO; KTBG–Kansas City, MO; WHRV–Norfolk, VA; WKZE–Red Hook NY; WUKY–Lexington, KY; WYCE–Grand Rapids, MI; WSGE–Dallas, NC ( Charlotte); WCLX–Burlington, VT; and WMVY–Martha’s Vineyard, MA; and spins from KCSN–Los Angeles, CA; KRCB–Santa Rosa, CA; KRCL–Salt Lake City, UT; KUSH–Cushing, OK; KVMR–Nevada City CA; KXCI–Tucson, AZ; WDST–Woodstock NY; WFPK–Louisville, KY; WHRV–Norfolk, VA; WOUB–Athens, OH; WPYA–Birmingham, AL; WQKL–Ann Arbor, MI; WUKY–Lexington KY; WYEP–Pittsburgh, PA; and Americana Boogie Radio (internet station).

KICKS was created entirely in New Orleans, using local musicians, mixers and studios. Produced by RICKIE LEE JONES with her band-mate, vibraphonist Mike Dillion, it features 10 songs of a highly infectious nature. Check out “Nagasaki,” her traditional jazz offering of tight three-part harmonies, and “Bad Company,” where JONES cuts loose on electric guitar.

The album cover, by artist Peregrine Honig, is a super-hero woman in boxing gloves. Sound like anyone we know? RICKIE LEE JONES, superhero, with a super weapon smile! “In times like these, “Miss Jones smiles, “a smile can be subversive. Here is Rickie Lee‘s musical smile.”

Miss Jones’ own label, OSOD (other side of desire), will release KICKS with Thirty Tigers distributing. A pre-order of the self-released album is available here, along with a variety of official KICKS merchandise including t-shirts, posters, totes and other items. In addition, fans can pre-order the album via traditional sites: All Retail; Spotify; iTunes, Apple and Amazon; all pre-orders receive the “Lonely People” instant grat track with the purchase of the pre-release of the album.

The KICKS track listing is as follows:

“Bad Company” (Bad Company, 1974)
“My Fathers Gun” (Elton John, 1970)
“Lonely People” (America, 1974)
“Houston” (Sanford Clark, 1964; made famous by Dean Martin, 1965)

“End Of The World” (Skeeter Davis, 1962)

About Rise Above

“I started this cause as a tribute to anyone who has lost someone. If Rise Above does something to help one person reconsider the tragic choice of suicide, then it will be the greatest success of my career.”

–Shaun Morgan

Shaun Morgan, founder and frontman of the multi-platinum selling rock band Seether, founded Rise Above in 2012 in honor of his brother who died by suicide. The Rise Above Festival which ran for 5 years in Bangor, ME was the largest suicide prevention event in the world. Morgan was honored in 2016 with the “Artistic Expression” Award from the National Council for Behavioral Health at the Awards of Excellence in Las Vegas.

About SAVE

SAVE is the leading national nonprofit suicide prevention organization working to prevent suicide through public awareness, education and training. They develop best-practice-endorsed materials used around the world and are the only national suicide prevention organization to have developed an evidence-based program for schools. They also work with suicide survivors left behind after a suicide. Led by Executive Director Dr. Dan Reidenberg, SAVE has been certified by Best Charities of America as meeting the highest standards of accountability and responsibility for nonprofits. Of the 1 million charities in the country, only 5% meet the standards and less than 2,000 have been awarded the certification seal. Shaun Morgan’s dear brother Eugene lost his life to suicide in 2007. This cause means the world to him. SAVE representatives will be on site at Exit 111 with reading materials and exclusive SAVE merchandise available to purchase, with proceeds going directly back to the life-saving work they do.

The massive footprint of the festival site–known to millions as the home of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival–will be transformed into a rock and roll playground offering camping and a variety of activities tailored specifically to concert-goers with a line-up that will celebrate various genres of rock.

Stay tuned for more details including the line-up and ticketing details, which will be announced in the coming weeks. More to come!
