BILLY MORRISON is marking today’s release of his new album HOLLOW, via TLG | ZOID distributed by Virgin Music Group, by sharing a video for one of the album’s highlights: “Take Me As I Am.” The soul-baring and thunderous track is rooted in heavy, angst-fueled ‘90s rock and holds nothing back with such lyrics as “Left unchecked I’m an animal, everything is flammable/I don’t wanna be this way.” Listen to the track HERE, watch the video HERE, and hear the album HERE. Read a Q&A about “Take Me As I Am” below with the British singer, songwriter, and guitarist who’s touring America this summer starting tonight (August 7) as Billy Idol’s rhythm guitar player alongside Steve Stevens.

The “Take Me As I Am” video was directed by photographer Jane Stuart, who’s been pivotal to the Morrison visual aesthetic over the course of two albums, and filmed throughout Los Angeles where MORRISON lives. The striking video powerfully underlines the personal chaos and desperation that he’s singing about. His longtime friend—musician Franky Perez, seen performing with two showgirl dancers—makes a cameo.

MORRISON is currently impacting DSP playlists with the album’s third single, “Never Gonna Change,” a fiery pop punk anthem of alienation and rebellion that merges raging guitars and a prison-break pace with the unmistakable vocals of The Offspring lead singer. Watch the Mike Savage-directed lyric video HERE.

The first single from HOLLOW was “Becoming” [feat. Sully Erna of Godsmack & GRAMMY® Award winner Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme]. The track peaked at #19 on Billboard’s “Mainstream Rock” chart and marked Morrison’s third Top 20 rock track overall. Erna delivers an impassioned and raspy vocal performance on this song about transforming one’s life from darkness to light and Bettencourt rises to the occasion, ripping pure hellfire on his guest solo. Listen to the song HERE and watch the video, directed by Ivo Raza, HERE.

MORRISON then hit hard with the explosive and lyrically gripping single “Hollow,” along with an artful and eye-popping lyric video that traces Morrison’s previously unhinged life. View the Mike Savage-directed video HERE and listen to the autobiographical song, highlighted by Morrison’s deeply felt vocals and sweeping lead guitar runs, HERE.

Throughout an illustrious career, BILLY MORRISON has played live in front of millions of fans, collaborated with every A-list rockstar under the sun (even notching a #1 single with the late Ozzy Osbourne), sold his paintings in galleries on multiple continents, and logged hundreds of hours on-air as a radio host for SiriusXM. And yet—some folks wonder, “Who the F%@K is Billy Morrison?” Which is the title of a new short film that answers the question. Directed and edited by Mike Savage, it tells his story through punchy editing, candid footage, and new interviews with Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses, Al Jourgensen of Ministry, B-Real of Cypress Hill, Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme, mixer/engineer/producer Barry Pointer, and MORRISON himself. Watch the six-minute documentary HERE.

Two years ago, BILLY MORRISON released THE MORRISON PROJECT via TLG | ZOID distributed by Virgin Music Group. It marked his third solo album (and first since 2015) and produced the #1 Active Rock Song (Mediabase) in America: “Crack Cocaine” featuring Ozzy Osbourne and Steve Stevens and co-written by all three artists. A deluxe edition of the album followed in 2025 and bonus track, “Gods Of Rock and Roll (Orchestral)”—another seismic collaboration with Osbourne and Stevens—landed in the Active Rock Top Ten (Mediabase).

HOLLOW is following the success of THE MORRISON PROJECT format with 12 songs, half sung by Morrison and half sung by a handful of MORRISON’s friends. Guests include Dexter Holland, Marilyn Manson, Chuck D, B Real, Duff McKagan, Steve Stevens, DMC, and the above-mentioned Sully Erna and Nuno Bettencourt, among others. “Forgive Me,” “The Tailor,” “No Suspects,” “Another Day,” “Leave No Trace,” and “Becoming” are among the song titles.

Q&A WITH BILLY MORRISON
ABOUT THE “TAKE ME AS I AM” SINGLE AND VIDEO

— “Take Me As I Am” rocks hard with perhaps some of your most vulnerable lyrics. Can you elaborate on the sentiment of the song and what inspired you to write it?

Morrison: Life is a hell of a journey and we are all fallible beings, but we all have the capacity for change. “Take Me As I Am” examines both the concept of change and growth as a human being, and the idea of arriving at a place of acceptance for one another. I believe that as long as we are aware of our faults, and we strive to be a better person tomorrow, then acceptance is one of the most healing attributes we can offer the world. And not understanding the power of judgement can be extremely damaging to others. Having been judged for one thing or another my whole life, finding those people that literally “take me as I am,” that accept me for who I am, and allow mistakes to be part of a learning process, is a wonderful feeling.

—You play all the instruments on the tracks except drums, making an already very personal song even more of an individual expression. Can you walk us through your mindset for the recording of the song?

Morrison: Imagine if STP had a torrid affair with Oasis, while hanging out at a party thrown by The Cult and watching an Alice In Chains documentary. I don’t really think too hard about the mindset when writing and recording a song, and especially with “Take Me As I Am” it was more a feeling, a vibe. And having the luxury and the ability to play all the instruments just makes it quicker to be honest. I don’t have to sit and argue if it should be E minor or C sharp, hahaha! I just do what I feel, what I hear in my head. Even with the drums, I don’t play the finished thing, I leave that to the professionals…in this case, it’s Erik Eldenius on the kit…but Erik would be the first to tell you that I program exactly what I want to hear from the drums, down to the individual hits, velocities, etc. Drum programming is something I really enjoy, so I spend many hours dialing in the drums and then ask the drummers to play exactly what I wrote!

— Who directed the video and please let us know what we can look forward to?

Morrison: I have had a photographer, Jane Stuart, working with me throughout both album cycles (the previous album, The Morrison Project, and the new album, Hollow) and her aesthetic and ability to portray me in a way that others fail to capture drew me in. When it came time for the video for “Take Me As I Am,” I asked her if she would consider making her directorial debut for me and she said yes! I literally just said “I have a yellow Lamborghini I want to use, and I’d like to have a black eye in this video,’ and left her to make sense of that within the track. And what a video she came up with, from creative concept to technical execution—she knew what she wanted. The color palate is very specific and the story captures the essence of the lyrics perfectly: a fallible man, learning from mistakes, and trying to make sense of his own shortcomings. The team she put together was fantastic and Jane knocked this one out of the park.

ANTHRAX have today (August 7) released the latest single and video, “Everybody’s Got A Plan,” from their long-awaited 12^th full-length studio album CURSUM PERFICIO out September 18 via Megaforce Records.

The new video was mostly filmed on July 7 in Lisbon, Portugal when the multi-GRAMMY® Award-nominated New York hard rock titans—Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals), and Jonathan Donais (guitar)—toured with Iron Maiden in Europe. It features live performance footage and behind the scenes backstage fun with cutaways to classic B&W boxing footage that underline the song’s central lyrics: “Everybody’s got a plan/That’s until they get punched in the face…” Watch the video and listen to the incendiary song, with its massive riffs and ferocious vocals, HERE.

“‘Everybody’s Got a Plan’ has always been one of my favorite songs on Cursum Perficio,” Benante says. “The video basically shows the band on and off stage in a montage of video clips that kinda matches the velocity of the song. ‘Everybody’s got a plan/That’s until they get punched in the face’ is such a great line, and so true!”

“Most of this video was shot opening for [Iron] Maiden in Lisbon, Portugal at Estádio da Lu on July 7, 2026,” Ian notes. “We wanted to capture us having fun on tour and what better way to do that? That was a plan that didn’t end up with a punch in the face! Have fun watching my friends!”

Bello adds, “This video is a great representation of a day in the life of Anthrax on tour.”

ANTHRAX have previously released two singles and videos from CURSUM PERFICIO: “It’s For The Kids” a classic ANTHRAX ripper locked and loaded with buzzsaw-sharp riffs, explosive drumming, and a howling and head-banging hook. It undoubtedly has all the makings of a future live staple. Listen HERE and watch the official music video HERE. It was followed by “The Edge Of Perfection,” highlighted by clean guitar echoes and cymbals that gently shake until a blastbeat blows open the doors. Guitars buzz like a motorboat on the River Styx, making waves through the darkness. In their wake, a crushing rhythm trails the melody of lead singer Joey Belladonna’s lament, “My heart breaks…I’m on the edge…I’m on the edge of perfection.” Listen to “The Edge Of Perfection” HERE and watch the official music video HERE.

Meanwhile, the group recently announced they were rolling out uniquely animated short clips based on the album cover, with the first clip shared July 28. The worked with artist Mark Stritzel for the striking cover and the animation was done by Emmanuel Cappellini. Mark initially worked with the band’s Charlie Benante on the characters featured on the album cover. Watch the first clip HERE and listen to the story HERE. Every Tuesday, the group will unveil the individual stories of each character featured on the album. Beyond the Magician’s story, subsequent weeks will reveal more about the Woman In White, Dog, Winged Skeleton, and concluding September 1 with Hands.

CURSUM PERFICIO marks the band’s first record in ten years since 2016’s For All Kings, which debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. The phrase Cursum Perficio is Latin for “My journey has come to an end,” “My journey is over,” or “I complete my journey.” It proves apropos for such a complete body of work. It will be available as a standard CD; Target exclusive CD with a fabric patch of the album cover; standard black double LP with pop-up gatefold; Target exclusive double LP, red zoetrope with pop up gatefold; Amazon exclusive double LP, purple zoetrope LP with pop-up gatefold; merch exclusive lilac vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Metal Injection exclusive white vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Talk Shop Live exclusive signed with red ripple vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Indie exclusive – red, orange yellow vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold.

The band dove into recording CURSUM PERFICIO in earnest during 2022, working out of Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 in Los Angeles. They carefully pieced together what would be this magnum opus, mining their history with reverence, delivering on fan expectations tenfold, and broadening the scope of their signature sound. Produced by Jay Ruston and ANTHRAX, the result is an album that’s as angry, aggressive, and alive as their most celebrated fare.

Infectious

HEATHER ANNE LOMAX To Headline Her Debut Las Vegas Show At The Space On August 28; Album Release Party For New Album ‘Who Do You Think You Are’

DATE: AUGUST 4, 2026

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER / SRO PR

HEATHER ANNE LOMAX
SET TO HEADLINE HER DEBUT LAS VEGAS SHOW
AT THE SPACE ON AUGUST 28,
THE SAME DAY SHE RELEASES HER NEW ALBUM
‘WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE,’
VIA THE THE BLACKBIRD RECORD LABEL

Critically acclaimed artist and new Las Vegas resident HEATHER ANNE LOMAX will headline her debut Vegas show at The Space on Friday, August 28 at 7:30pm, with special guests The Michael Richter Band. It’s a special album release show for the singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose album WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE—an uplifting blast of rock, soul, and blues inspired by classic sounds—is due out the same day via the Blackbird Record Label. Tickets for the all-ages show are priced at $20 and available HERE.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE has already been hailed by Blues Matters UK as “a
spirited, soulful, and refreshingly alive record that proves classic influences can still sound vital when delivered with genuine conviction” (August 2026). Noted for her “larger than life voice” (Glide Magazine) and as “one of the most expressive vocalists around” (American Songwriter), LOMAX opens a bold new chapter with this album, as exemplified by its current second single and video “Step Aside.” Driven by big guitars, powerful vocals, and the raw energy of classic rock & roll, the track sets the tone for an album built on instinct, reinvention, and following your own path. Listen to the song HERE and watch the video HERE. Pre-order the album HERE.

Originally from Kansas City and now based in Las Vegas, HEATHER ANNE LOMAX has spent the past decade building her own path across Americana, Country-Rock, Blues, and Rock & Roll. She has earned international radio play and shared stages with artists including Wynonna Judd & The Big Noise, Lee Ann Womack, Blake Shelton, Kenny Rogers, Jeff Bridges, John Hiatt, Richie Furay, Don McLean, Judy Collins, The Marshall Tucker Band, Joan Osborne, Melanie, and Blood, Sweat & Tears.

At the heart of Lomax’s music is honesty and connection. She describes her songs as “a vehicle of catharsis”—a way for people to feel, heal, and connect through music. Her own life story has also shaped her artistry. Adopted at birth, Lomax spent years searching for her biological family and discovered a history filled with music and creativity. Her family connections include legendary music historian Alan Lomax, while her mother was a musician and visual artist and her grandmother performed on Broadway. After discovering her roots, she reclaimed her birth name— Heather Anne Lomax–-embracing the identity and musical heritage that had always been part of her.

Her musical journey began in Kansas City and the Ozarks of Missouri, where she developed her guitar playing and love of songwriting while being surrounded by gospel, country, and roots music traditions. Artists including Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Presley, Hozier, and Maria McKee continue to inspire her mix of classic sounds and modern storytelling.

Her 2020 album All This Time received praise from Glide Magazine, American Songwriter, The Bluegrass Situation, and Music Connection. Her previous album Heavy Load, released under her adopted name Michael-Ann, was named one of the Top 10 Americana records from Los Angeles and earned Robert Oermann’s “DisCovery of the Week” award in Music Row Magazine.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE “captures raw emotion, vintage energy, and a deeply personal journey,” as described by Blues Magazine (2026). It was recorded live at Love Street Studios in Los Angeles. The album captures the raw energy and spontaneity of classic 1970s recordings. Rather than chasing perfection, the sessions prioritized feel, chemistry, and performance, resulting in a record that crackles with authenticity and heart. It was produced by Zachary Ross (Rose’s Pawn Shop), mixed by Jason Hiller (The Freewheelers), mastered by acclaimed engineer Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More, YES, Halford, Def Leppard), and features an extraordinary cast of musicians. Among the contributors are bassist and mixer Jason Hiller; drummers Rob Humphries (Kacey Musgraves, Leonard Cohen, Jason Mraz), Jordan West (Grace Potter), David Goodstein (Jackson Browne, Dolly Parton), and Jamie Douglas (Shooter Jennings, Samantha Fish); keyboardists Ty Bailie (Katy Perry, Tanya Tucker), Jerry Borge (Ziggy Marley), and Carey Frank (Bruce Springsteen, Tedeschi Trucks Band); along with guitarist Zachary Ross and Lomax herself. Additional textures come from flutists Fuzzbee Morse (Bono, Peter Gabriel), Lily Elise (Gwen Stefani, Miley Cyrus), and Mary Scholz.

ABOUT PECOS AND THE ROOFTOPS

Known for their gritty fusion of low-down country, classic rock swagger, and soulful Americana storytelling, the Texas-based band Pecos and the Rooftops has quickly become one of the most talked-about acts in the Red Dirt and alternative country scene.

Formed in Lubbock, Texas in 2019 by a close-knit group of college friends, Pecos & The Rooftops built their sound on raw emotion, heavy guitar riffs, and authentic songwriting. Fronted by former Marine Pecos Hurley, whose booming vocals and heartfelt lyrics have resonated with fans nationwide, the band delivers a live performance packed with energy, passion, and unforgettable singalong moments.

The band first broke through with their Platinum-certified hit “This Damn Song,” which has earned more than 250 million streams globally and remains a fan favorite at every show.

Fans can expect an explosive setlist filled with emotional ballads, driving guitar solos, and crowd favorites that have made the band a staple on the touring circuit alongside artists like Koe Wetzel and other rising country stars.

ABOUT BELLES

In a world of imitators and social media facades, BELLES (Kelli Belles) stands out as an artist unapologetically true to herself. Hailing from Omaha and now based in Nashville, BELLES brings Midwest grit and authenticity to everything she does, balancing small-town roots with big-stage ambition. Her voice is as striking as her presence—effortlessly blending a dreamy, modern edge with the timeless soul of country music’s golden era.

2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year, highlighted by her remarkable self-penned song “Son of Jolene,” featuring global music icon Dolly Parton. “The country music legend, 80, tells PEOPLE, ‘When I heard ‘Son of Jolene,’ I thought it was very clever. No one had ever thought of it that way.’” Released on April 17, rising star BELLES steps into country music tradition with a bold, imaginative follow-up to one of the genre’s most iconic songs. Reflecting on the moment she learned that Parton wanted to join her for the final recording, the 26-year-old said, “I could die happy now.” — The Sun. Like Dolly, BELLES is a songwriter first, with over 100M+ cumulative streams across her catalog. Her song “Crazy As Me” peaked at #3 on the iTunes Country Charts in 2025, momentum that carried her across the country on her headlining Crazy As Me Tour, selling out several venues. Her 1.5M followers on social media are drawn to her electric live performances and vivid storytelling—sometimes humorous, sometimes deeply emotional. Inspired by legends such as Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton, BELLES reimagines classic country for today. Her songs feel pulled straight from real life, creating a connection with everyone in the room.

The Rocky Mountain CMA Female Vocalist is embarking on a 24-city national headlining run this summer, the Songs & Stories Tour. Venues include Stoney’s, The Bitter End, Last Exit Live, Gruene Hall, Eddie’s Attic, and Tractor Tavern.

ABOUT ASHLEY WALLS

Ashley Walls, an emerging artist from Marietta, GA, is making waves in the country-pop genre with her heartfelt melodies and relatable storytelling. Born and raised in Georgia, Ashley’s love for music was evident from a young age. Carrying around a guitar and serenading strangers with impromptu songs, her passion only grew stronger over time.

During her time at the University of Georgia, where she studied marketing and music business, Ashley’s talent began to shine. Touring across the Southeast, hearing her songs on iHeart media stations, and sharing the stage with renowned artists like Billy Ray Cyrus became defining moments in her career. Inspired by these experiences, she made the decision to pursue music wholeheartedly and relocated to Nashville.

Ashley’s music is a seamless blend of her country roots and a vibrant pop flair. With a desire to evoke emotions and create meaningful connections with listeners, she crafts lyrics that capture the essence of love, life, and the human spirit. Walls marked a significant milestone in her artistic evolution with the release of her single “Somebody Knew” in April. This captivating song showcases Ashley’s growth as an artist, combining a catchy yet emotional hook with a sweet guitar melody that lingers in the listener’s mind. Through storytelling-like lyrics, she paints a vivid picture of falling for someone for the first time and self-discovery, inviting audiences to reflect on their own experiences. “Somebody Knew” not only demonstrates Ashley’s musical prowess but also reveals her ability to connect deeply with her listeners, solidifying her position as a rising star in the country-pop music scene.

ANTHRAX Break Down Cover Artwork For New ‘Cursum Perficio’ Album With Weekly Animated Clips Describing The Characters Featured On The Cover; First Clip Out Now

DATE: JULY 29, 2026

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER

ANTHRAX
BREAK DOWN COVER ARTWORK FOR
‘CURSUM PERFICIO’
WITH WEEKLY ANIMATED CLIPS DESCRIBING
THE CHARACTERS FEATURED ON THE COVER

WATCH THE FIRST CLIP HERE
AND LISTEN TO THE STORY HERE

THE GROUP’S MUCH-ANTICIPATED ALBUM IS
OUT SEPTEMBER 18, 2026
ON MEGAFORCE RECORDS

PRE-ORDER/PRE-SAVE HERE

CURSUM PERFICIO album cover
(download)

In anticipation of the September 18 release of their long-awaited 12^th full-length studio album CURSUM PERFICIO via Megaforce Records, ANTHRAX are rolling out uniquely animated short clips based on the album cover, with the first clip shared yesterday (July 28). The multi-GRAMMY® Award-nominated New York hard rock titans—Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals), and Jonathan Donais (guitar)—worked with artist Mark Stritzel for the striking cover and the animation was done by Emmanuel Cappellini. Mark initially worked with the band’s Charlie Benante on the characters featured on the album cover. Watch the first clip HERE and listen to the story HERE.

“When Tim Burton released ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas,’ they did this whole ad campaign, Meet the Characters, Meet Jack, Meet Sally, and they gave a little description about them,” Benante explains. “This is what inspired the idea to release these stories about the characters. When we came up with the art for the cover, we felt the characters needed to have a backstory and not just be an image on an album cover. For the magician, initially he was meant to be the younger version of Among The Living character—The Preacher (Among The Living was the band’s 1987 album). He could have been a magician when he was younger and he is really sadistic. For the bride (Clara) and Dog, we wanted to make something that was another door into the cover and get a glimpse of who these characters are.”

Every Tuesday, the group is unveiling the individual stories of each character featured on the album. Beyond the Magician’s story, subsequent weeks will reveal more about the Woman In White, Dog, Winged Skeleton, and concluding September 1 with Hands.

Persistence of Memory
The Long Goodbye
It’s For the Kids
Everybody’s Got A Plan
The Edge Of Perfection

T.O.M.B

My Victory

Their journey has brought them to CURSUM PERFICIO—a powerful, pummeling, and poetic milestone in ANTHRAX’s 45-year career.

July 28, 2026

Mark Mackay (courtesy)

WHAT: Stoney’s North Forty inside Santa Fe Station continues to bring the Northwest Las Vegas community together with live country music, line dancing, cold drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere all month long.

Stoney’s has you covered with Happy Hour from 6 – 7 p.m. with $5 drink specials and free two step and line dance lessons Tuesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Free entry is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Visit https://stoneysnorthforty.com/dance-lesson/ for details.

WHERE: Stoney’s North Forty inside Santa Fe Station

4949 N. Rancho Drive

EVENTS: Wed., Aug. 12 Bikini Bull Riding Ladies Night with Crown Royal Whisky and Casamigos Tequila
Sat., Aug. 29 Mark Mackay

ABOUT BIKINI BULL RIDING LADIES’ NIGHT

On the second Wednesday of every month, Bikini Bull Riding Ladies Night features $3 drinks for ladies. All bull riding participants receive a free bikini from Stoney’s North Forty, and ladies can compete for $500 in cash prizes.

ABOUT MARK MACKAY

Blazing guitars and reflective storytelling; spirited swagger and compassionate vulnerability. The artistry of Mark Mackay is inclusive, projecting a vivid panorama of arena-ready rock and roll crosscut with country soul — an authentic genre of pure American music channeled through the captivating sincerity of an eloquent singer-songwriter.

Mark Mackay has performed thousands of shows as a headliner at clubs, concerts, festivals, and fairs, and as an opening act for rockers like The Steve Miller Band, REO Speedwagon, and Night Ranger, and country hitmakers Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Eli Young, and Gary Allan. He has commanded center stage at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, and in 2025, Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.

He envisions his newest slate of seven songs for Bungalo Records/Universal Music Group as a prologue to the next phase of his ever-evolving career. His creative team includes behind the board master and multiple ACM Guitarist of the Year nominee Adam Shoenfeld, with multiple contributions from Mark’s frequent co-writer and co-producer, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Jeffrey Steele.

Based in Nashville, Mark Mackay was raised on the sounds of his native California, from Laurel Canyon to Bakersfield. Whether fronting his band of A-list players, or in intimate solo performances, Mark’s audience connection is profound. “I’m staying true to myself, and the kind of music I like, and the stories I like telling,” Mark avows. “I don’t make a big deal about driving, but yeah, I am always zipping around the country, interacting with people, and reminiscing about their stories, and how music brings us all together.”

On his lead single, “Old Songs and Old Trucks” Mark is a confiding storyteller, embracing sweet nostalgia behind the wheel of a S-10 Chevy truck. Memories echo in the bittersweet “Things You Say,” a song that Mark explains onstage as: “A song about taking stock of your whole life and all the decisions you’ve made along the way.” Charged with adrenaline, “Get Away” is a full throttle riff-driven road burner. “Crash” is narrated with sly undertones, in the words, “You weren’t after my money/But you knew I had plenty to bail you out.” The spooky “Crazy About the Moonlight” is ignited by thunderous rock intensity, while “Let Her Fly,” is aloft with acceptance. In tune with tumultuous times, “I Am Love,” is a galvanizing anthem of unity that Mark introduces in concert with these words, “Here’s a song about something we should sing more about in this country every day.”

With his first fashion collaboration, designing a t-shirt in tandem with Ventura, CA based apparel company Iron and Resin, Mark is initiating new creative outlets. Now in its third year, the national month-long “Rockin’ and Rollin’ Guitar Slinging Christmas Tour” has expanded to include multiple dates in California, Utah, Montana, Colorado, Ohio, and New York.

ABOUT STONEY’S NORTH FORTY

From the creators of the award-winning, world famous Stoney’s Rockin’ Country, Stoney’s North Forty is a premiere destination for locals and tourists 21 and over who are looking for a boot stomping good ole time with line dancing, mechanical bull riding, beer pong, pool tables, a covered patio, and more.
