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).

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

DT: JULY 22, 2019

FM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER/KELLY WALSH

ACHIEVE CAREER FIRST

WITH THREE #1 SINGLES FROM THE SAME ALBUM

“UNDER YOUR SCARS” TOPS THIS WEEK’S ROCK CHART AND

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

GODSMACK—Sully 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 21^st 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.

THE BRIAN SETZER ORCHESTRA Announces 16th Annual ‘Christmas Rocks! Tour’

DATE: JULY 22, 2019

SiriusXM PRESENTS

THE BRIAN SETZER ORCHESTRA’S

16TH ANNUAL

‘CHRISTMAS ROCKS! TOUR’

VISITING OVER 20 CITIES

FEATURING MUSIC FROM THEIR THREE

BEST-SELLING HOLIDAY ALBUMS AND BRIAN’S NUMEROUS HITS

Iconic guitarist, songwriter, vocalist 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 CHRISTMAS, DIG 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, 2016, 2017 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

“15^TH 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 Perry, VINTAGE 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 Campbell, TWIN 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 Perciaccante, ALL 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 Sullivan, THE 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

DT: JULY 22, 2019

FM: KELLY WALSH, SRO PR

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

Photo Credit: Joshua Thomas

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”

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.

Alt-Americana Artist MANDA MOSHER Announces Plans For New Album; Debut Single/Video To Be Released 7/26

DATE: JULY 19, 2019

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/KELLY WALSH

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:

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,” 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).

Fri 7/26 – Ojai, CA – Ojai Deer Lodge

Things are heating up for THE HU as they prepare to make their way to North America this fall for their first-ever tour of the continent in support of their upcoming debut album, THE GEREG, due September 13 via Eleven Seven Music. The Mongolian phenomenon, who adventurously combine traditional Mongolian instrumentation and throat-singing with modern American heavy rock to create their own style of music they call “hunnu rock,” have announced the Friday, August 23 launch of the third single and music video for the epic track “The Great Chingiss Khan.”

Following the viral online success of their previous videos for “Wolf Totem” and “Yuve Yuve Yu” in December 2018—which combined have over 40 million views to date–“The Great Chingiss Khan” marks the first official video release from the band in 2019. Filmed at Burkhan Khalduun, the birthplace of Chinggis Khaan, in February of this year in minus 30 degree weather, the cinematic video shares the story of Chinggis Khaan as he is portrayed in Mongolian culture as an inventor and a founding father of the country rather than the worldly view of him as a warrior and conqueror. Watch a message from THE HU along with a teaser of “The Great Chingiss Khaan” in the video below:

The HU – “The Great Chinggis Khaan” Trailer

THE HU were recently heralded as Cultural Envoy of Mongolia by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mongolia in a special ceremony live streamed on MNB World, which can be seen here. “Representing Mongolian artists, we have become a Cultural Envoy of Mongolia,” commented band member Jaya (jaw harp, Tsuur, Flute & Throat Singer). “It is a great moment for us. We are very happy. We understand that as an envoy, we are responsible for sharing our cultural heritage with the world.”

THE HU already began their work as envoys with their inaugural performance in their Ulaanbaatar hometown in June 2019. The group then traveled to Europe and the UK for a sold-out 15-date summer tour in addition to performances at several major festivals including Download Festival, Rock im Park, Rock Am Ring, Tons of Rock and more.

They will next embark on their inaugural North American tour over the course of three months from September 11 to December 7 which includes stops at Aftershock Festival (Sacramento), Riot Fest (Chicago) and Las Rageous (Las Vegas). The anticipation for the upcoming shows has received an astounding response with two shows having been immediately moved to higher capacity venues (Milwaukee, Denver) and a sold-out show in San Francisco. Dates can be found below and tickets are on sale now at www.thehuofficial.com. Watch a message from THE HU to U.S. fans here:

The HU – Message to America

Early Critical Praise:

“[The HU] are not just taking elements from Western music… Instead, they’re using some of these elements and making their own authentic music. So it’s not rock music performed by Mongolians. It’s Mongolian rock music.”- January 5, 2019

“You know when you find an artist you’re so enraptured and excited about that you want to tell anyone and everyone who’ll listen about them? That’s how I feel right now about The HU.” – June 7, 2019

“Hunnu rock has undoubtedly captured a global audience, spreading their transcultural sound across borders.” – May 27, 2019

“The Hu is the first act since Bad Wolves in February 2018 to top Hard Rock Digital Song Sales with its first charting song.” –April 18, 2019

“The HU wound up with nine cinematic songs that seamlessly meld their influences, often highlighting the areas where the two overlap… Given the global platform they earned via YouTube, The HU have an entire nation rooting for them with The Gereg.” – August 5, 2019

THE KIND SHOWCASE AT TYSON RANCH – A Cannabis Culture Experience Announced Oct. 10-12 in Desert Hot Springs, CA

DT: JULY 17, 2019

FM: KELLY WALSH, MARCEE RONDAN, MITCH SCHNEIDER/SRO PR

THE KIND SHOWCASE AT TYSON RANCH

FIRST OF ITS ‘KIND’ CONSUMABLE CANNABIS CULTURE EVENT

IN DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CA

OCTOBER 10-12

DESTINATION EXPERIENCE TO EXPAND ON PREVIOUS

KIND MUSIC FESTIVAL POP-UP

WITH CONSUMER & B2B CANNABIS SALES,

CANNABIS VENDOR ACTIVATIONS,

MUSICAL PERFORMANCES AND MORE TBA

Following this past February’s inaugural KIND MUSIC FESTIVAL pop-up event, KIND has now expanded the festival by partnering with the progressive cannabis exhibition company SHOWCASE EVENTS to announce THE KIND SHOWCASE AT TYSON RANCH, set for Thursday, October 10 to Saturday, October 12, 2019. The three-day consumable cannabis experience will be the first-ever event to combine a traditional music festival with a direct-to-consumer and B2B cannabis vending and lifestyle convention.

The inaugural KIND MUSIC FESTIVAL–at the future site of the Tyson Ranch Resorts, a 420-acre entertainment complex, luxury glamping resort, cannabis research & design facility created and owned by Mike Tyson–saw over 5,200 fans embrace California’s updated cannabis regulations while enjoying a music festival experience, which featured standout sets by Miguel, Ferg, Starcrawler and more.

Rob Hickman (CEO, Tyson Ranch): “We’re thrilled to join forces with Showcase Events. Brandon’s experience in the convention/tradeshow space will be invaluable to the growth of the Kind Festival experience.”

Mike Tyson: “Since the founding of Tyson Ranch, I’ve been focused on building awareness of the health benefits of the plant with the general public. The Kind Showcase is an example of our commitment.”

THE KIND SHOWCASE AT TYSON RANCH will also take place at the Tyson Ranch Resort grounds in Desert Hot Springs, CA, In addition to recreating the 18+ outdoor stage and festival area presented at the February pop-up event, THE KIND SHOWCASE AT TYSON RANCH team are also constructing the world’s largest temporary structure which will stretch (755 ft long x 135 ft wide x 55 ft tall). It will offer a comfortable air-conditioned experience for 21+ and over festival goers to browse several hundreds of cannabis vendors and activations. See an outside and inside perspective rendering of the structure below.

Additional details on THE KIND SHOWCASE AT TYSON RANCH will be in the coming weeks including the festival line-up, vendors and ticket on-sale information.

For more details on THE KIND SHOWCASE AT TYSON RANCH partnership, read an interview with SHOWCASE EVENTS founder BRANDON FINNEY here.

###

Q&A with SHOWCASE Founder BRANDON FINNEY

What is SHOWCASE and how did it get started? Can you provide a quick background on the success of the company and what it has achieved?

We are a consumable cannabis event for both businesses and consumers to check out the latest and greatest in the California cannabis market. My brother and I joined forces in 2014 to create the Showcase brand. Our background is growing up travelling around the country while our family ran events. When we decided to branch out, we were able to focus on industries we were passionate about. With cannabis being the newest and strongest industry of our era, we knew that’s where we needed to be.

How did you first hear about KIND and what sparked the idea to combine forces?

At the beginning of the year there was already a ton of talk in the industry about the KIND Festival, and we took notice. At that time, we were also looking for locations and vendors for our first Showcase Cannabis event. After meeting with Tyson Ranch, we realized our visions lined up and we would be stronger together to create this unique experience.

What is the main purpose behind THE KIND SHOWCASE AT TYSON RANCH?

Most current cannabis events are focused on one demographic and style, but the landscape of the industry is evolving. The Kind Showcase will reflect the changes in the industry and provide something for everyone.

How will this year’s event be different than the KIND MUSIC pop-up event earlier this year (and please talk about the expanded days)?

While the Kind Festival was an amazing concert celebrating cannabis, The Kind Showcase partnership is elevating the cannabis culture. With adding additional days to include B2B and consumer sales, cannabis vendors will have the ability to build relationships directly with their audience. The best part, we still have still have the amazing music and experiences that Kind offers.

Will music fans have a similar or different experience to the first KIND festival?

In short, the answer is both. KIND Festival did a great job of bringing together music headliners for a one-day event. With The Kind Showcase being three days, we are able to diversify the music portfolio. We are including a variety of genres so there’s a little something for everyone attending. A main focus will be on local rising acts that Southern California is known for. That being said, we will feature big name artists to wrap up each night.

You are building the world’s largest temporary structure. How did this concept come to mind? What are some of the challenges you’ve come across to make this happen?

Originally, we weren’t looking to build a structure, but with how the market is right now, most cities in Southern California won’t allow cannabis to be sold in their facilities. What’s the logical step? Build our own. With Desert Hot Springs being the pioneering cannabis city, and Tyson Ranch building a luxury resort, Kind Showcase has the perfect locale to place our foundation.

What makes THE KIND SHOWCASE AT TYSON RANCH a unique experience?

One thing that makes Kind Showcase unique is that we are both a B2B and consumer show event that brings elements of a festival experience. Another fact that sets us apart is that we actually have a home. We can have an event twice a year, or whenever we want, because we own the land. This allows us to create not just a local event, but a destination.

The band–Ed Kowalczyk (vocals, guitar), Chad Taylor (guitar, backing vocals), Patrick Dahlheimer (bass) and Chad Gracey (drums, percussion)–is also marking the album’s milestone on a co-headline tour with Bush this summer of arenas and amphitheatres (dates below).

“Throwing Copper Ale,” according to the Alosta Brewing website, is “a union of the caramel toffee like sweetness of English barley and the bitterness of Nobel hops. Smooth, refreshing. English Ales are often referred to as Copper Ales, and we could not resist taking the opportunity to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Throwing Copper with LIVE’s very first craft beer. We present to you Throwing Copper Ale.”

The ““Throwing Copper Ale” pre-sale begins today, July 16, with orders shipped, across the United States except for UT, ND, and SD, as well as Canada, on 10/1/19-10/7/19:

“Considering LIVE’s amazing and blessed career of over 25 years and its countless highlights, it can be pretty challenging to find things that we have yet to accomplish or try anew,” says frontman Ed Kowalczyk. “So when Alosta Brewing Co. approached us with the idea of ‘Throwing Copper Ale,’ we jumped at the chance to do something we hadn’t done before. Marrying a classic ale and a classic album like Throwing Copper was a no-brainer! So Cheers and Bottoms Up baby!”

Their catalog is filled with such gems as “Lightning Crashes,” “I Alone,” “All Over You,” and “Lakini’s Juice,” which live on today as classics at rock radio. Throwing Copper-which is being celebrated in 2019 with a new deluxe 25^th anniversary edition via Radioactive/Geffen/Ume–produced the band’s biggest single, “Lightning Crashes,” which was #1 at Modern Rock radio for 10 consecutive weeks. Throwing Copper reached #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and eventually surpassed sales of 10 million albums sold with Rolling Stone honoring the album with placement on their list, “1994: The 40 Best Records From Mainstream Alternative’s Greatest Year.” Secret Samadhi (1997) immediately shot to #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and eventually went double platinum. The release of the platinum-selling The Distance to Here (1999) turned +LIVE+ into an international powerhouse and moved the band from arenas into stadiums. +LIVE+ has been and remains today a global concert juggernaut.

As they prepare to embark on the next leg of their headlining “Silver Scream” U.S. tour tonight (7/12) in Peoria, IL, metalcore outfit ICE NINE KILLS debut the live video and audio recording from their sold-out show at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, CA earlier this year for their IT-inspired track, “IT Is The End.” The performance features a special guest appearance from members of the legendary ska band Reel Big Fish and was premiered yesterday via AltPress.

“IT Is The End” is one of the featured singles from the band’s most recent release, THE SILVER SCREAM, out now via Fearless Records, and includes members of Less Than Jake on the studio recording. The album has surpassed 70,000 copies sold and recently saw the band break into the Top 10 of Billboard’s Rock Radiocharts for the first time ever with the hit single, “A Grave Mistake.” Watch the live video below:

Ice Nine Kills – IT Is The End (feat. Reel Big Fish) [Live In Los Angeles]

“Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve been completely immersed in the punk ska scene. Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake have always been two of my favorites of the genre,” shares vocalist SPENCER CHARNAS. “To have Buddy and JR from Less Than Jake perform the horns on the album, and then to get Matt and Johnny from Reel Big Fish to join us on stage live were two truly special experiences. This is one of my favorite tracks we’ve ever recorded because IT takes two genres that are almost diametrically opposed, metal and ska, and puts them together in a really unexpected way. It also pays tribute to the fact that Ice Nine Kills was originally a ska band, and although we are a heavier band today, I still wear that influence on my bloody sleeves.”

Furthering their passion for the horror genre and its influence on the tracks on THE SILVER SCREAM, ICE NINE KILLS will team up once again with Screamfest Film Festival to show the music video for their Friday the 13^th-inspired track “Thank God It’s Friday” as well as perform an acoustic rendition of the song during their 35^th anniversary screening of “Friday The 13^th: The Final Chapter.” The event will take place at Ahrya Fine Arts by Laemmle in Beverly Hills on Saturday, July 27 at 7:30 P.M. Tickets are on-sale now at https://screamfestla.com/2019/event/friday-13th-final-chapter.

ICE NINE KILLS had previously performed an acoustic version of their radio single “A Grave Mistake” at Screamfest‘s recent sold-out 25^th anniversary screening of The Crow with special guest Ash Costello (New Years Day).
