SUMMARY:[CANCELED] Hinder: Stripped - An Acoustic Tour
DESCRIPTION:Due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts\, this show has been canceled. Refunds available at point of purchase. \n*** \n \n*** \nHinder \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nHinder’s certainly had quite the ride to arrive at this point in their careers. Their 2005 debut\, Extreme Behavior\, sold over three-million copies in the U.S.\, while its breakthrough single “Lips of an Angel” hit #1 on the Billboard Pop Chart. The record’s follow-up in 2008\, Take it to the Limit\, surpassed Gold status after debuting at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 with over 80\,000 copies sold first week. Meanwhile\, their third effort\, All American Nightmare\, dropped in 2010\, followed by Welcome To The Freakshow in 2012 . Along the way\, the band has shared the stage on national tours with everyone from Mötley Crüe and Nickelback to Aerosmith and Papa Roach.  The multi-platinum Oklahoma City hard rockers Joe “Blower” Garvey\, Mark King\, Mike Rodden\, and Cody Hanson — entered the studio in the spring to begin recording a brand new effort which will be co-produced by Hanson and Marshal Dutton. There are no boundaries\, and every idea is going to be fair game throughout the process. Hanson says\, “We like to think we can do anything. We don’t want to be stuck in a rut with one type of sound or formula. One song might have a country influence\, while another might have a pop influence. Then\, there are some heavy metal moments. We have every element covered on this record. You’ve got to do what’s best for the song.” After nearly a decade\, Hinder are stronger than ever. Hanson concludes\, “This band was built around a strong core of hard work and friendship. Like it or not\, we’re going to be around for a long time.” \n*** \nLike A Storm \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nFormed by brothers Chris\, Matt & Kent Brooks\, New Zealand band Like A Storm has made huge waves in both the U.S & Europe – labeled “one of the hottest buzz bands out there right now\,” by National Rock Review. \nWith a brand new album out through Century Media/Another Century\, this year the Storm spreads to Europe and the rest of the world. \nThe band of brothers moved from Auckland\, NZ to North America knowing no one. Renowned for their explosive live show\, LAS quickly climbed the ranks\, having now toured arenas and large clubs all across the US with such heavy-weights as: Alter Bridge\, Black Stone Cherry\, Steel Panther\, Shinedown\, HellYeah & more. \nTheir connection with the crowds every night was instant – Their first album\, “The End of The Beginning\,” debuted in the Billboard Top 200 from nightly tour sales alone. \nLike A Storm’s brand new single\, “Love The Way You Hate Me” has been #1 on the biggest rock station in North America for 5 weeks. Its stateside success makes LAS the highest-charting New Zealand rock act in US radio history. \nThe track connected with listeners everywhere. When a new single typically lasts a few weeks at US radio\, “Love The Way You Hate Me” blasted for over 9 months! Outlasting singles from much more established acts. \nThe official video for “Love The Way You Hate Me”\, which features a zombie mob of actual LAS fans\, has over 2 million views on Youtube. \nThe track was inspired when someone at a truck-stop in small-town USA called one of the brothers a “freak.” Produced by the band themselves\, it’s one of the first\, if not the only\, charting single to feature the ancient Aboriginal wood instrument\, the Didgeridoo. When combined with crushing guitars and prog drumming\, “Didgeridoo Metal” was born. \nTheir brand new album\, “Awaken The Fire” is one of the first releases from Century Media imprint ANOTHER CENTURY\, and will be released all across Europe on March 16th\, 2015 \nLike A Storm will be touring all across Europe in 2015 supporting the release. \n*** \nBrad Ray \n \n[Website] [Facebook] \nGrowing up in Rome\, Georgia\, Brad began playing guitar at the age of twelve.  His influences included such artists as Third Eye Band\, Prince\, White Snake and Maxwell.  Having a keen sense of creativity led to his writing with a particular focus on lyrics.  His writing styles range from ballad love songs to reggae and include topics as diverse as political and social commentaries as well as more personal and sensitive subjects with a mass appeal. \nWith his first album\, “So What\,” recorded at Kent Wells Studios in Nashville\, Brad showcases a collection of songs reminiscent of John Mayer\, Dave Matthews and Sublime.  The album includes songs such as the title cut\, “So What\,” “Homeward Bound\,” “Crimes\,” and “Twisted.”  His talents stretch to more than just the guitar\, playing banjo\, bass\, drums and keyboards.  A-list studio musicians from Nashville included session leader Mike Brignardello\, Mike Rojas\, Rob McNelley and Matt Combs. \nWhile attending Temple University in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania\, Brad began writing hundreds of songs and performed around the city before returning home to the Southeast and beginning to play locally.  He currently is still writing\, performing and touring with his band\, Guest House.

SUMMARY:PVRIS
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 6:00 pm / Show: 7:00 pm \nThis event is all ages. \nPlease note: Beach Weather will no longer be performing due to vocal strain. Read a message from Beach Weather HERE. \n*** \n \n*** \nPVRIS \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nLynn Gunn – guitar/vocals/keys\nAlex Babinski – guitar/keys\nBrian MacDonald – bass/keys \nThere is a moment where every artist decides that it is best to create music based on instinct rather than expectation. For PVRIS\, a three-piece rock band from Boston\, that moment came during their conception. The trio formed in the studio while making songs for a previous project and realized that they needed to collectively eschew any preconceived idea of what music should be. “It occurred to us that we should just make whatever we want and not worry about fitting into the local scene\,” Lynn says. “Our vision was whatever we felt like doing. It was about making what we felt like making in the moment.” \nThat vision has manifested itself into PVRIS’s debut album White Noise\, which follows an acoustic EP that came out in April of 2014. The album is its own entity\, a collection of dynamic\, surging rock songs that combine the musicians’ collective influences and inspirations. The band has continually fostered an interest in electronic music and hoped to organically bring those sounds into their pop-tinged rock numbers. “We knew we wanted to go in a more electronic direction on the album\,” Lynn says. “We had that vision but we had no clue how it would actually sound. We let the music find itself.” \nWhite Noise was recorded last winter with musician Blake Harnage\, a longtime friend of the band\, in his home studio. It was Blake’s first time producing a full-length album\, but his influence became essential to the music. “Blake texted me after we signed to Rise saying he thought we could make an awesome record together and we worked it out and it was amazing\,” Lynn says. “He doesn’t have a filter. He just makes the music. He doesn’t care what people think of him or his music – he just lets his ideas flow and embraces them. He changed our perspective on writing and making music.” \nThe songs on the album are connected through the lyrics and the title\, which evokes both the supernatural and the harsh sound created by TV static and electricity. Ghosts\, often metaphorical\, populate the songs\, a haunting theme resonating throughout. Lines reappear in various tracks\, hinting back at one another and tying the album together. Each song exists as its own entity\, embracing different musical vibes\, but there is a sense of cohesiveness through White Noise. “St. Patrick\,” a propulsive rocker\, is driven by Lynn’s evocative vocals\, which soar over an electronic flourish that surges beneath the guitars. “White Noise” has a moodier quality\, its driving beats leading the way for a chorus that aches with longing\, while “My House” balances insistent\, pummeling rock sounds with melancholy reflection. Together\, the songs create a darkly tinged album that resonates with confidence. \n“There was some anxiety in the studio because we would think something sounded amazing but that no one would get it or take to it the right way\,” Lynn says. “But we got over that fear. Blake helped us find confidence in what we were making. We had to be happy with what we were making no matter what and that was the mindset we had for the rest of the process. We’re super proud of the record and how it represents us as a band.” \nPVRIS\, who has toured the U.S. several times in the past few years and played Warped Tour in the summer of 2014\, have reimagined their live set-up to reflect the album. Ultimately\, PVRIS wants to make music that is their own. Without expectation\, the musicians have songs that give something important to their audience – whatever that may be. \n“I hope people can take anything they desire away from this record\,” Lynn says. “It can be anything. We made the music because we loved it and now it can belong to everyone else.” \n*** \nLydia \n \n[Facebook] [Twitter] \nLydia is an indie rock band from Gilbert\, Arizona. Formed in 2003\, frontman Leighton Antelman along with a different array of band mates released three albums and took to the road for their first headlining tour in 2008 in support of their record Illuminate. \nAfter a brief hiatus in 2010\, the band returned in September 2011 with a new song\, and their album\, Paint it Golden\, was released shortly after in October of that same year. Lydia’s success has led them to tours such as the Zumiez Couch Tour\, Vans Warped Tour\, and The Bamboozle Festival as well as extensive headlining and supporting tours across the US\, Canada\, and the UK. \nIn March of 2013\, Lydia released Devil\, produced by Colby Wedgeworth (The Maine\, This Century)\, as a follow up to 2012’s Acoustics EP. The band toured in support of the record\, then Lydia re-released Devil in a deluxe version shortly thereafter. \nIn September of 2015\, Lydia released their latest full length Run Wild – coproduced by Aaron Marsh (of Copeland) and Colby Wedgeworth. The band embarked on a headlining run with support from Turnover\, Seahaven\, and The Technicolors. The band has earned press coverage by many reputable press sources over the years including Alternative Press\, Absolute Punk\, idobi radio\, Guitar World\, and more. Lydia’s most recent music video\, for “When It Gets Dark Out” off of Run Wild\, has been picked up by major media outlets MTV\, AXS TV\, and Yahoo Music to name a few. The band plans to continue to tour on the success of Run Wild. \nLydia is Leighton Antelman\, Matt Keller\, and Justin Camacho. \n*** \nCRUISR \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nCRUISR began in 2012 as the solo project of Andy States and quickly morphed into what it is today; an indie-pop band whose summery\, feel-good hooks are infectious and stadium ready. \nStates wrote and recorded the band’s first EP in his Philadelphia bedroom\, fixated on the idea of what it means to craft a pop song. “I have an obsession with writing pop music and the idea that songs can transcend people.\,” States says. “I saw that producer Jeremy Park started writing blog articles about how he recorded Youth Lagoon\, so I wrote to him and sent him my songs asking for advice and knowledge. He wrote back and loved my stuff and helped me produce the first EP.” \nThe six-song self-titled EP was released in the summer of 2012 and quickly garnered attention online and in the press. With all the newfound awareness Andy promptly realized he needed a band to bring his songs to the stage. “Jon was always my sounding board. I’d show him songs in the making and get his advice. It only made sense that he’d become part of CRUISR\,” Andy notes. With the addition of Kyle and Bruno the quartet set out performing whenever possible. And of course\, they continued to write. \n“The writing process definitely changed once we became a full band. I’ll work on my computer and bring the idea to Jon. By that time it’s structured and has a backbone\, guitars are figured out etc. Jon elaborates on the idea with drums and it goes from there.” In late 2013 CRUISR released a new track online\, “Kidnap Me\,” which attracted even more positive attention than the EP. Representative of CRUISR as a cohesive unit\, “Kidnap Me” was the first track written as a band and showcases what CRUISR does best; sunny\, warm\, indie-pop. “It’s funny because we’re from Philadelphia and we write songs that sound like summer\, which is a fleeting season here. I guess it’s just because Philly is where we feel happiest\, and when we’re happy we write happy music.” \nFast-forward to present day when CRUISR is gearing up to release their second EP\, All Over\, which features definitive recordings of “Kidnap Me” and “Don’t Go Alone” as well as the brand new title track “All Over”; all of which were produced and mixed by Andrew Maury (RAC\, Panama Wedding\, Ra Ra Riot). All Over demonstrates how fantastically Andy’s mind is able to translate pop hooks. “How does pop music make everyone like it so much?” States laughs\, “Little kids hear it on the radio and just go crazy\, singing stupid songs. There’s something that’s so smart about it\, and a lot of things that people don’t notice are the key ingredients to writing a pop song. I’m just really into trying to decipher what those things are and trying to make pop music in our own way.” \nAll Over will be released on September 23 via Vagrant Records. \nCRUISR is Andy States (vocals / guitar)\, Jonathan Van Dine (drums)\, Kyle Cook (bass)\, Bruno Catrambone (guitar)

SUMMARY:The Jayhawks
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over.\nTickets on sale Fri. 4/15 at noon! \n*** \nThe Jayhawks \n\n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nThe incredible harmonies and distinctive arrangements of The Jayhawks set them apart from the rest of the Minneapolis music scene that emerged in the 1980s. By the early 90’s they became a driving force and inspiration behind the growing Americana movement. Combining the talents of singer-songwriters Gary Louris and Mark Olson\, The Jayhawks released their major label debut\, the acclaimed Hollywood Town Hall (1992) on the Def American label. This was followed by Tomorrow the Green Grass (1995)\, which produced the alternative radio hit single “Blue”. \nWhen Olson left to pursue a solo career\, Louris singularly took over the songwriting role in The Jayhawks creating the band’s enduring sound on some of their best selling and well-received albums including Smile (2000) and Rainy Day Music (2003). Louris continues to write and tour with the longtime core group of Marc Perlman\, Karen Grotberg\, and Tim O’Reagan. While the touring line-up has changed over the years and Olson briefly reappeared in 2010 to record and tour\, this classic lineup maintains a commitment to adventure and forward motion in their shows and in their recordings. Their latest album\, Paging Mr. Proust (2016)\, was produced in Portland with Peter Buck and Tucker Martine. \n*** \nFolk Uke \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nCathy Guthrie and Amy Nelson\, also known as Folk Uke\, have been writing and performing together for over a decade. This duo is a unique amalgam of angelic harmonies often wrapped around edgy\, surprising lyrics. Folk Uke plays folk music in its truest form with a delightfully wicked twist.

SUMMARY:Jack Garratt
DESCRIPTION:WERS 88.9 Discovery Show \nDoors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over.\nTickets on sale Fri. 2/26 at noon! \n*** \n \n*** \nJack Garratt \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nBritish artist-producer Jack Garratt could not have wished for a better introduction. The sharp young newcomer started 2015 as highly touted as he now looks to be concluding it\, and with the announcement of his self-written\, self-performed\, self-recorded\, and largely self-produced debut album now readied\, that heat looks set to reach fever pitch ahead of its February release. \nDrawing the dots between significant moments\, and landmark events of this fledgling career would already become a headache – the young Buckinghamshire artist has achieved more than he has any right to\, from bringing the house down at Radio 1’s Future Festival back in January\, selling out each and every UK and US show he’s played to ever expansive rooms\, through to being crowned BBC Introducing’s Artist of the Year at their annual televised awards ceremony this December. The scrapbook is bursting and that’s just volume one. Not bad for a guy who tends to do it all by himself. Maybe the humble ‘bedroom producer’ tag needs an update. \n“It’s a bloody minefield!” grins the larger-than-life Jack Garratt\, stroking that fine ginger beard of his in contemplation. \n“I loathe the idea that if I suggest that I produce my own songs then people presume I’m sat hunched over my laptop weeping into my own self-doubt. Life is too short for all that. I opened the door to a couple of excellent producers for Phase on a couple of songs\, and it was a really exciting experience. We got a lot done.” \nTruth be told\, Jack wasn’t even sure music was a legitimate pursuit\, and was already training to become a primary school music teacher when he dropped it all for those drums sticks\, pads and keys. It’s been a move none shrewder. \nHis first release\, the limited edition Remnants EP (self-released through Bubinga Records in early 2014 and featuring the first incarnation of Phase highlight\, ‘Worry’) was an invigorating\, almost spiritual listen. It married those distinct elements of electronica with classic guitar-fronted songwriting\, finding their skeletal shape from repeat listens to Channel Orange by Frank Ocean. \n“One Christmas\, everyone kept telling me to listen to Frank Ocean\, but that only made me not want to listen to him. Eventually I did\, and holy shit\, it virtually re-shaped what I wanted to do completely.” \nConversely\, another record that refused to budge from the stereo was Jack White’s Blunderbuss. \n“I would say that Blunderbuss and Channel Orange are the primary reasons that I do what I do now. I loved the raw\, bluesy riffs and crunch of Jack White\, but also that smoothness and ambience of Channel Orange. Why should they be incompatible? They shouldn’t\, so here we are.” \nBorn and raised in a Buckinghamshire village in the South of England\, Jack’s parents were musical and he learned to play instruments early\, something he’s never really stopped doing.  His initial acoustic shows were largely open-mic\, but the vision was to take the new sound and shows somewhere else completely. Everything you hear\, both on stage and off it\, is performed by Jack. The intimacy of the blues and Jack’s scintillatingly raw vocal can be juxtaposed with a bassline that rattles the foundations of the building. He keeps you on your toes\, and your hands in the air. \nThat Jack broadly produces all his own music is testament to the influence of leftfield production. He cites Flying Lotus\, Son Lux and Jai Paul as primary examples of taking something and twisting it into something obtuse\, fresh\, and interesting. \n“Those guys are just operating on a completely different plane. I love how disarming their productions can sound.” \nJack’s second EP\, Synesthesiac (released early Summer 2015 through Island Records)\, was indeed a quantum leap on from Remnants. The Love You’re Given\, which features here on Phase\, is a smouldering\, tranquil beauty that explodes in a haze of colour like a firework. Chemical\, another track that dazzles on the record\, is a gnarly beast that tangles multi-tracked handclaps with a beats-laden dancefloor-hookline. You couldn’t place it\, but you knew it was destined for far bigger venues\, which indeed Jack is already making light work of. \nA first single\, Weathered (one of the many ‘moments’ that pepper the live set)\, and the current second single Breathe Life\, show Jack confidently laying out his cards on the table. They are huge\, infectious pieces of work\, the sound of a young musician finding his feet and showing his strengths. They are songs that sit neatly on the radio playlists\, and songs with an innate sense to impress. Phase is a record that is\, indeed\, littered with them\, without any need to truly compromise what sparked all the initial interest. The propulsive Fire\, and the torchlight anthem in waiting\, Surprise Yourself\, are merely two of the handful of songs here that are yet to be documented in those impressive live shows. \nHaving sold-out a UK tour this Autumn\, which included a very special night at Shepherds Bush Empire\, and the recent announcement of a headline show at London’s Brixton Academy for April 2016\, this is an incredibly impressive feat for a young artist with only a handful of songs out there in the internet ether. You suspect it must\, therefore\, feel pretty good to be Jack Garratt right now. \n“At the moment every day brings something new\, something exciting. It’s blowing my mind. I really love it.” \n*** \nContact \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nBoston\, Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:[SOLD OUT] Oh Wonder
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 6:30 pm / Show: 7:00 pm \nThis event is all ages.\nSOLD OUT \nSecond show added on Sat. 6/18 due to overwhelming demand. Tickets for the 6/18 show available HERE.\n*** \n \n*** \nOh Wonder \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nThere is a sign pinned to the wall of Oh Wonder’s recording studio in south-east London\, a pact of sorts\, signed by the band’s two members\, Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West\, in the winter of 2012. It isn’t a checklist or a plan so much as a setting down of shared dreams for their musical careers. “We wrote it to say that we’re dependent on one another\,” explains Josephine. “That there are things we want to achieve\, and we can help each other get there.” \nThat Oh Wonder have achieved all of these dreams in the first year since starting the project is testament to their talent and their perseverance\, but even they seem a little startled by how much more they have attained: the 100 million streams and now their debut album\, a collection of 15 impeccably-crafted songs that explore London and loneliness\, love and the need for human relationships. \nJosephine was a classically-trained solo performer and Anthony a singer and producer whose lives and careers overlapped for several years — a run of near-encounters and half-conversations at gigs and venues\, and vague introductions through musical acquaintances and mutual friends. It was only when they finally sat down in Anthony’s former studio in north London with a view to producing an EP of Josephine‘s solo material that they realised their great musical bond. “We found all our favourite bands were the same bands\, all our favourite songs were the same songs\,” says Anthony. “It was a day of saying ‘Oh you should listen to this’. And then the other one saying ‘I know that song. That’s one of my favourite songs.’” “It was\,” adds Josephine “really\, really odd. I’ve never had that. I’ve never felt that closely aligned with someone\, musically speaking\, and more widely in terms of how we view the world.” \nIt was Anthony’s suggestion that they begin writing together — purely for fun at first\, as an exercise in songwriting and collaboration while they pursued their other musical projects. The first song they wrote was called Body Gold and was\, Josephine says\, “the marker for what the sound of Oh Wonder was: electronic and somewhat R’n’B\, which was totally surprising\, and totally different to our solo work\, but we were really proud of it.” \nStill\, for 18 months they did nothing with it. Anthony moved to London and released an EP as part of a duo\, Josephine was busy writing and recording as Layla. “But we thought it was a waste to leave Body Gold unheard\,” says Anthony. And so they decided to post it on the internet\, anonymously. \nThat day they went to a café in east London\, posted the song on SoundCloud and emailed a few of their favourite music blogs about it. “We were in this café\,” Josephine remembers\, “and we were looking at the play-count\, and I think it said six plays\, and then all of a sudden these blogs started posting the song — really lovely write-ups saying ‘Who the hell are these people? They’re about to blow up the internet.’” They sat in the café and watched the play count climb to 100. A few weeks later it had reached 100\,000 plays. Just over a year later and they have tens of millions of plays and a string of sold out headline shows across the UK\, Europe\, Australia and the USA. “It was just really\, really bizarre. And odd. And completely accidental\,” she says. “We didn’t tell anyone it was us\, we didn’t ask people to listen\, we didn’t tell our friends\, it was so far removed from us. But I genuinely think that the reason so many people connected with it was because it was really sincere.” \nThe plan from the start was to release a song a month\, for the course of a year. “We approached it as a songwriting project rather than an artist project\,” continues Anthony. “And so the most important thing of all is the song and we would never release what we consider to be a bad song.” \nThey had already written two other tracks: Shark and All We Do — a track Josephine finds most affecting. “It’s about the human propensity to play it safe and not push yourself beyond the parameters of normal life\,” she says. “It’s about just existing and not wondering or being inquisitive. It’s about how a lot of people sink into the monotony of everyday life. And how it’s a shame\, because the world’s there for the taking\, and you’ve got to go grab it and have an adventure.” \nTheir own adventure soon gathered pace. They found they could write quickly\, finishing the body of a song in 20 minutes or so and spending more time\, they say\, on the production. “Writing together is a weird magical thing\,” says Josephine. “More than anybody else in the world I trust Ant. Which makes the writing process totally open\, totally vulnerable and non-judgmental\, and means you can say all of these things openly in a song.” \nThe things they chose to say all possess a striking tenderness and a tangible passion for life\, ranging from exquisite break-up songs Drive\, Landslide and The Rain to quiet rallies against materialism\, gambling\, gentrification and globalization\, and\, in Lose It\, a song that serves as a tribute to a night out they once had in Melbourne\, where as the sun came up\, Josephine found herself at a party dancing in her underwear to Destiny’s Child. “I’ve never before felt what I felt that night\,” she says. “I didn’t take any drugs\, and I wasn’t even drunk\, there was just something heady in the air. It was the first time I’d ever felt untethered from myself.” \nThough they vary from piano-led ballads to whip-sharp electronica\, what unites all of Oh Wonder’s songs is their extraordinary sense of humanity. “We didn’t realise it at first\, but a lot of our songs are about relationships and support\,” says Josephine. Anthony points to album opener Livewire\, “which is about needing someone to lift you up\, someone who can bring you up from your lowest point\, bring you back to life\, be the heartbeat you need…” and to White Blood\, about times in life\, in illness or difficulty\, when you “really need someone with you”\, and to Heart Hope\, inspired by watching the area around their home in east London rapidly gentrify\, and feeling that for all the shiny new buildings\, what people really need is other people\, “it’s saying actually all you need is a heart and a soul and to be connected to yourself and to each other.” \n“They’re songs about humans\, and about people being there in your life\,” says Josephine. “People need people. And that’s what this album looks at\, from all the different angles: it’s about being grateful for the people in your life\, for relationships of all sorts.” \nPerhaps most of all\, this album is Anthony and Josephine’s tribute to each other\, to the partnership they have formed\, the places it has taken them and the confidence they have given one another. \nJosephine tells a story that perhaps best sums up the depth of the belief they have in one another — the bond\, the trust\, and the faith they have in their own music: “I used to have lots of jobs\,” she says. “I worked in Waterstones\, and waiting tables\, and Ant was the person who told me to give them up. He told me to call up my boss and say “Sorry I can’t work at Waterstones anymore\, I’m being a musician.” He said “we’re going to do this. And that was the same day we wrote that sign.” \n*** \nLANY \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nInitially harvested entirely behind a Windows computer during what industry veterans have comically–‐referenced as the most–‐productive handful of months by a new artist\, this genre–‐bending band is prepping a busy 1st quarter of touring in 2016 in what is destined to be the year LANY becomes a household name. Born in a Nashville bedroom\, LANY (pronounced LAY–‐NEE)\, comprised of Paul\, Les and Jake\, are a trio that started as a group of friends looking to combine their unique skills to “see what happens.” LANY had initial unprecedented success on Soundcloud’s platform which was enough to get Soundcloud’s internal cloud of executives to partner with the new artist\, and impactful social platforms like Snapchat have been avid supporters – LANY played their Holiday party this past December. \nMasochists in love with an underwritten theme of hopeless romance\, LANY front man Paul opens on debut cuts like “Walk Away\,” “youarefire” and “ILYSB\,” with vocals that are glacial while engaging\, and draw you into their heartbreak manifesto; and a vibe reminiscent of the 80s on tracks like “Made In Hollywood” and “4EVER!” LANY makes it clear that lethal good looks and vocal prowess are not mutually exclusive\, and even guys with all of the above get their hearts broken. \nSince their initial experiment to get feedback on what was just an idea little over a year ago\, LANY has released 2 EP’s to their dedicated and rapidly growing fan base. Often utilizing the success trends within the millennial landscape\, LANY has zeroed in on a gap in the music business that aches for a sound like theirs. \nIn 2015 LANY wrapped tours with Halsey\, Tove Styrke\, Zella Day\, Twin Shadow and X Ambassadors. They played Lollapalooza and Sloss Festival in the summer and ended the year with a headline run on the Westcoast. As for 2016\, in February they play Summit Series in Utah and perform 12 shows with Troye Sivan in North America; in March they play 11 Arena shows with Ellie Goulding in the UK; and then they go on to play Squamish and Shaky Knees Festivals.

SUMMARY:[SOLD OUT] Jon Bellion
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is All Ages. \nThis show is SOLD OUT! \n*** \n \n  \n  \n*** \nJon Bellion \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nJon Bellion is a singer\, songwriter and producer from New York. After beginning his career as a songwriter\, Bellion signed to Visionary Music Group\, an independent label based out of New York in August of 2012. Jon’s sound is an eclectic mix of pop\, hip hop\, rap and soul\, citing musical influences like Andre 3000 and Kanye West. \nJon recently released “The Definition\,” an 11 track album that really captures his genre blending sound. Jon wrote and produced 10 of the 11 tracks on the album. An amazing feat that continues to separate him from any other singer is his ability to produce his entire catalog that’s helped make his first projects musically diverse. The rollout to “The Definition” included singles\, “Munny Right\,”Luxury\,””Simple and Sweet\,”and “Carry Your Throne.” \nBellion’s 2014 was highlighted by his national headline tour\, “The Beautiful Mind Tour\,” selling out cities such as Los Angeles\, New York\, Chicago\, Minneapolis\, San Francisco\, Boston and Chappell Hill. In December 2014\, Bellion was named the winner of Spotify’s Emerging Artist program. Jon is working on his next album throughout 2015 and expects to return on the road. \n*** \nSonReal \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nFlanked by a squad of quirky characters unafraid to rock bowl cuts and mustaches\, spitting bars like nobody’s business\, and melting hearts left and right\, SonReal would be just as at home in a Wes Anderson or Farrelly Brothers movie as he is behind a mic.\nHip-hop has never seen a maestro quite like the British Columbia-born rapper\, singer\, and songwriter. That’s why he’s already earned multiple Canadian Juno Award nominations including “Rap Recording of the Year” for “Everywhere We Go” in 2014\, racked up millions of Spotify streams and YouTube views\, and packed shows all over the continent. However\, his story begins in the tiny town of Vernon. \nGrowing up\, he’d watch his father sing and play country songs on an acoustic guitar with rapt attention. By high school\, he started frequenting the local skate park\, and became infatuated with the lifestyle of music and skateboarding. At the time\, his musical tastes spanned everything from Guns N’ Roses to Green Day\, but listening to Nas’s Illmatic and Mobb Deep’s The Infamous resonate through the park would change his life. \n“As a kid from a small town\, I loved hearing stories of these artists from Queensbridge and Brooklyn\,” he says. “It was like listening to an exciting movie play out. That made me want to rap.” \nFollowing high school\, SonReal spent his days working as a carpenter and his nights writing and recording countless songs at home. Quietly and diligently honing his skills\, he released a series of buzzing mixtapes beginning with Where’s Waldo in 2011 and followed by Words I Said and Good News just a year later. Hailing from Canada meant he had to grind twice as hard to be heard globally. \n“There weren’t any studios in my town\,” he explains. “I couldn’t have a mentor\, because no one was rapping. I taught myself making music on an old desktop. Touring is tough because you have to drive longer distances in much worse weather than America. I got made fun of a lot. During the week\, I was always getting fired from carpentry jobs\, because I’d be up late recording or I’d quit to go on tour. I never gave up though. I decided I had to go big.” \nHe did just that with the music video for “Everywhere We Go.” Boasting the best talent show sequence since Napoleon Dynamite\, it introduced a bevy of memorable mischief makers and spotlighted the many sides of SonReal. The clip would rack up over one million views in less than a month as he received acclaim from MTV Canada\, Noisey/Vice\, Earmilk\, HipHopDX\, and many more\, setting the stage for a recording deal with independent label Black Box Recordings. \n“There’s so much static out there\,” he sighs. “It’s so easy to make a music video with an SLR. I had to do something deeper. I’m not good at standing in front of a car rapping or dancing on a roof with a bunch of girls in a club. It’s not me. I strive to be myself and do things I want no matter how much they scare the fuck out of me. All of the characters are big extensions of who I am.”\nHe continued this visual tradition with “Preach\,” which would receive Much Music Video Awards nominations for “Hip Hop Video of the Year” in 2015. Along the way\, he toured Canada many times\, and embarked on his first U.S. run during 2015. Signing to Capitol Music Group\, he ventured down to Los Angeles to record with the likes of super producer RedOne [Lady Gaga\, Nicki Minaj] and Rahki [Kendrick Lamar\, Eminem]. \nHis 2016 single\, “Can I Get A Witness\,” puts him on the stand (literally) to speak to his biggest audience yet. Produced by RedOne and Rush\, the track shimmies between a funky bass line and delicate beat as SonReal deftly presents his lyrical case before an unshakable refrain. Meanwhile\, the unforgettable crew from “Everywhere We Go” makes their return on-screen. \n“Even though I was working with a pop producer which I was very much not used to\, I didn’t sacrifice anything\,” he assures. “The song is undeniably me. From the moment we got into the studio\, I told Red that. Some people will ride with you all day\, and some people won’t. We aren’t following anyone. I’m giving you exactly who I am.” \nOn his forthcoming major label full-length debut\, SonReal officially invites everybody into his world. \n“When I started making music\, all I ever wanted to do was make people laugh\, make people cry\, and make people feel something\,” he leaves. “That’s what music did for me. That’s why I try to do different things under the same umbrella. If the listener feels emotion when listening to it\, I have done my job.” \n***\nBlaque Keyz \n \n[Website] [Facebook]

SUMMARY:[SOLD OUT] Gregory Alan Isakov and The Ghost Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over.\nThis show is SOLD OUT \n*** \n \n*** \nGregory Alan Isakov and The Ghost Orchestra \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nBorn in Johannesburg\, South Africa\, and calling Colorado home\, Gregory Alan Isakov has been traveling all his life. Songs that hone a masterful quality tell a story of miles and landscapes\, and the search for a sense of place. His song-craft lends to deep lyrical masterpieces\, with hints of his influences\, Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen. He has been described as “strong\, subtle\, a lyrical genius.” Isakov has just completed an album of his songs played in collaboration with The Colorado Symphony\, scheduled to be released June 10\, 2016. As part of this symphony record release tour\, he will be playing with The Ghost Orchestra\, a symphonic ensemble made up of Colorado’s own\, including members of The Colorado Symphony. \n“[Isakov] churns up his own musical atmosphere\, ruled by the moon and the sea\, at least aesthetically if not always lyrically. That he can do the same thing alone onstage…is remarkable.”\nNO DEPRESSION \n“…Isakov’s presence [is] delicately hypnotic\, proving folk music can be electric and impassioned without that virulent Mumford strum.”\nROLLING STONE \n“…an eloquent lyricist who delivers soul searching ruminations filled with cosmic pondering\, nomadic wisdom and plenty of earthy metaphors. His understated voice has a hushed force akin to that of Jose Gonzalez’s and\, at its best\, the alluring comfort of Paul Simon’s.”\nTHE WASHINGTON POST \n*** \nMandolin Orange \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nAfter the breakout critical success of Mandolin Orange’s Yep Roc debut\, This Side of Jordan\, you’d expect the relentless onslaught of touring that accompanied it to seep into the writing of the North Carolina duo’s follow-up. You’d expect the sound to reflect long days on the road\, long nights onstage\, unfamiliar cities\, countless miles. You’d expect the classic “road record.”\nBut you’d be wrong. \n“All of these songs are definitely a product of being on the road\,” says multi- instrumentalist/singer Emily Frantz of Mandolin Orange’s gorgeous new album\, Such Jubilee\, “but they’re not about the road.” \n“They’re about home\,” explains songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/singer Andrew Marlin. “Not because we were missing it\, but because when you’re gone so much\, you start realizing what you have and what’s waiting for you. You realize there’s this place to come back to at the end of the journey.” \nThe road has been good to Mandolin Orange since the 2013 release of This Side of Jordan. NPR called the album “effortless and beautiful\,” naming it one of the year’s best folk/Americana releases\, while Magnet dubbed it “magnificent\,” and American Songwriter said it was “honest music\, shot through with coed harmonies\, sweeping fiddle\, mandolin\, acoustic guitar and the sort of unfakeable intimacy that bonds simpatico musicians like Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.” The record earned them performances everywhere from the iconic Newport Folk Festival to Pickathon\, as well as tours with Willie Watson\, Gregory Alan Isakov\, The Wood Brothers\, and more. \nFor the Such Jubilee sessions\, Marlin and Frantz set up facing each other with just a vocal and instrumental mic each in Asheville’s Echo Mountain studio. It proved to be the perfect setup to capture the undeniable chemistry of their live performances. \nOn “Settled Down\,” Marlin looks at what it takes to find that nearly-telepathic level of comfort in a relationship\, singing\, “Moments\, just fleeting times with little wings of gold / remind us of how real we find true love in every sign of getting older.” “Daylight” looks for peace in long- term companionship and trust\, “That Wrecking Ball” meditates on the sometimes ravaging passage of time\, and album closer “Of Which There Is No Like” is a delicate\, wistful duet about coming home. \nNot all of the songs are purely introspective\, though. “Jump Mountain Blues” brings to life a haunting Native American legend from the rural Virginia town where Marlin spent weekends growing up\, “Rounder” is written in the cowboy tradition and can be heard as a statement against capital punishment\, and the ambitious “Blue Ruin” was penned in response to the horrific violence at Sandy Hook. \nIt’s a weighty moment on an album that doesn’t shy away from grappling with difficult topics: intimacy\, death\, distance\, regret. Such Jubilee is a record about home\, both the place and the idea. Some days it’s a safe\, warm\, loving refuge from the world outside. Other days it’s cold and empty and too quiet. Either way\, it’s always waiting for you at the end of the road.

SUMMARY:Allen Stone
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over.\nTickets on sale Fri. 4/1 at noon! \n*** \n \n*** \nAllen Stone \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] On his third full-length album\, soul artist Allen Stone proves himself deeply devoted to making uncompromisingly soulful music that transcends all pop convention. Made in collaboration with Swedish soul singer/songwriter/phenom Magnus Tingsek\, Radius captures the warm energy of that creative connection and transports the listener to a higher and more exalted plane. Now embarking even higher ATO Records will be releasing Radius Deluxe on March 25th\, which will include a second disc of 7 bonus tracks that didn’t make the original record release. \n“I couldn’t be happier to return to ATO\,” Stone exclaimed. “They are a label that works tirelessly for their artists. Their team is made up of genuine music lovers whose concern is creating timeless art not bolstering their 401k’s.” \nRadius marks the follow-up to the Chewelah\, Washington-bred 28-year-old’s self-released and self-titled 2011 sophomore effort that climbed to the top 10 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart. As the New York Times recently said Stone’s lyrics “promise honest sentiments\, grooves built with physical instruments and a gospel-rooted determination to uplift … glimmers of Al Green\, Bill Withers\, Curtis Mayfield\, George Clinton\, Prince and a bit of Sting.” \nAlong with immersing himself in a songwriting approach that involved unflinching examination of “some very dark and negative moments in my life\,” Stone shaped the sound and feel of Radius by pushing himself to “get past the boundaries of what I felt comfortable with\, so that I could progress into a whole new level of creativity.” Despite that sometimes-daunting process\, Radius wholly reveals Stone’s easy grace in blending everything from edgy soul-pop and earthy folk-rock to throwback R&B and Parliament-inspired funk. \nCulled from several dozen songs penned through a year and a half of constant writing and refining\, Radius Deluxe bears a title that reflects both its scope and intimacy. \n“The radius is that line extending from the center of the circle to its exterior\,” says Stone. “And in a lot of ways this album is about getting out things deep inside—whether it’s love or insecurity or joy or frustration about things going on today.” \nWhen it comes to the new bonus tracks Stone added\, “I am very excited for “Bed I Made” to finally be released to the public. It’s a song that has long been a favorite of my audience and I’m glad that they will finally have a studio version.” \nRadius first began to come to life back in the fall of 2013\, when Stone headed to Sweden to join in a writing session with Tingsek. “His musicality is so outside-the-box\, and it really stretched me as an artist\,” says Stone\, who’d tapped Tingsek as one of his opening acts for an 85-date headlining tour in 2012. “We just kept on throwing a wrench into the works and tried to create something that’s the complete antithesis of what you’d expect from pop music.” \nAfter recording the bulk of the album in Sweden\, Stone rounded out Radius’s production at his own studio in the woods of northeast Washington and in L.A.-based sessions with producers like Benny Cassette (Kanye West) and Malay (a co-producer on Frank Ocean’s channel ORANGE). \nLike many of his own musical heroes—Stevie Wonder chief among them—Stone pulls off the near-magical feat of channeling a weight-of-the-world sensitivity into his songs while still radiating hope and promise. And though that depth of consciousness feels transmitted from a more golden era\, Radius continually hones in on issues both timeless and of-the-moment\, with Stone’s breezily poetic lyrics touching on topics ranging from rampant materialism (on the tenderly string-accented\, harmony-soaked “American Privilege”) and the toxic takeover of technology in art (on the gutsy and groove-heavy “Fake Future”). \n“That song’s mainly about how technology’s infiltrating music in a way that’s making it less and less human and taking all the heart out of it\,” Stone says of the latter track\, a soul-pop powerhouse peppered with playfully cutting lines like “Rock stars pushing buttons/Few actually play/City wasn’t ever built on lights and Special K.” And as evidenced by Radius’s lush yet raw sonic landscape—wherein the only hint of synth comes from a Moog analog synthesizer—Stone stayed true to his pledge to “keep fakeness completely out of this record” and rely entirely on live instrumentation. \nEqually introspective and outwardly searching\, Radius also finds Stone exploring intensely personal matters\, such as depression on the stark and lovely\, acoustic-guitar-woven ballad “Circle” (“That one was written at a pretty dark time for me\,” Stone points out. “It’s about how depression can put you into a kind of circle\, where you’re just trying to find a way out but it keeps on leading you back inside”). Showing his skill at crafting a killer love song as well\, Stone looks at heartbreak and regret on the aching\, electric-piano-infused “I Know That I Wasn’t Right\,” slips into hopeless romanticism on the dreamy R&B pastiche “Barbwire\,” and unleashes some starry-eyed affection on the dance floor-ready “Symmetrical”. And in tracks like the ultra-catchy album-opener “Perfect World” and the fiery\, horn-laced “Freedom\,” Radius unfolds into epically joyful anthems that show the full range and power of Stone’s vocals. \nStone started working those vocals as a kid\, thanks largely to his parents’ influence. “My father was a minister so I spent about half my childhood in church\, watching my mom and dad sing together and lead the congregation in song\,” he recalls. By the time he was 11 he’d picked up a guitar and written his first song\, and soon began self-recording demo tapes to pass along to classmates. Although Stone enrolled in Bible College after high school\, he quickly dropped out to move to Seattle and kick start his music career. “I had an ’87 Buick and I’d drive up and down the west coast\, playing any gig I could get just to try to put my music out there\,” he says. \nAt age 22\, Stone self-released his debut album\, 2010’s Last To Speak. But it was his self-titled follow-up (on which he joined forces with former Miles Davis keyboardist Deron Johnson) that ended up earning him serious recognition. Along with entering the top five on iTunes’ R&B/Soul chart after its digital release\, Allen Stone prompted him to score appearances on such late-night talk shows like Conan. And upon partnering with ATO Records for a physical release of his self-titled album in 2012\, Stone soon turned up on the likes of the Late Show with David Letterman and landed a gig as the opening act for soul legend Al Green. In the midst of the buzz\, he also took up a grueling touring schedule\, tearing through nearly 600 shows in just two years. \nFor Stone\, all that time onstage went a long way in preparing him for the many creative breakthroughs he’s made on Radius. \n“I think you really grow as a musician when you’re playing right in front of people\, and for me constantly growing and progressing and getting better is really the most important thing\,” he says. Ruminating on the emotional undertones of his new album’s title and noting that\, “the center of me is my heart\,” Stone says he also hopes that Radius will ultimately help listeners shed new light on their own struggles. “There’ve been times in my life when records were my saving grace and really helped me to figure out who I am\, and I’d love for my music to have that kind of impact on a kid who’s looking for his or her own place in this life\,” he says. “Because I absolutely believe that if you’re going to stand at a microphone and say something\, you need to recognize that as a privilege. You’ve got to be incredibly careful about it\, and really put all your heart into the message that you’re sending out into the world.” \n*** \nGreat Caesar \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nIn the dead of winter\, the grand summer homes of the Hamptons sit vacant and silent\, their yards piling high with snow behind the perfectly manicured hedges that line the quiet streets… or so you might expect. But\, if you paid a visit to Southampton\, NY last winter\, you may have noticed that one house in particular was neither vacant nor silent\, but rather spilling over with raucous music and joyful listeners. A knock on the door would have welcomed you into the winter retreat of Great Caesar\, the six-piece\, Brooklyn-based band bringing together chamber rock and indie soul in a singularly anthemic and captivating blend. Don’t fret if you missed those wild winter nights\, though. They were just the warm-up. Now\, with a new EP (titled ‘Jackson’s Big Sky’ after that Southampton house) and extensive US tour dates on the way\, Great Caesar is ready to bring their one-of-a-kind sound directly to you. \nThe band’s roots stretch back to Connecticut\, where frontman/guitarist/singer John-Michael Parker teamed with bassist Adam Glaser\, trumpeter Tom Sikes\, and guitarist Mike Farrell while they were all still in high school. They built a local following exploring a variety of sounds\, and added drummer Thomas Stephens and vocalist Niki Morrissette after relocating to New York City.  \n“I went to Yale\, and we had a guy at NYU\, a guy at UConn\, and another at Williams\, so we started going all over playing shows at each other’s schools\,” explains Parker. “We recorded a few songs at a little studio and printed a bunch of copies of that first CD. We weren’t thinking about the music industry or anything at the time — we were just doing it for fun\, and to make something for ourselves.” \nThat all changed when a filmmaker approached the band with an ambitious concept for a video for their song “Don’t Ask Me Why” centered around themes of social justice and drawing parallels between the civil rights movement of the 1960’s and the modern fight for gender and sexual equality.  \n“When we lost our initial source of funding\, we decided to do it ourselves and raised $50\,000 on Kickstarter\,” says Parker\, who tapped Beirut/Modest Mouse producer Griffin Rodriguez to helm the recording of the song along with three additional tracks that would make up their self-titled EP. “It was a three-week shoot and it took four or five months to actually release it\, but we somehow managed to get connected to Upworthy\, and when the video went out\, it got more than 100\,000 views in its first week.” \nMTV raved that it “proves love conquers all\,” while Relix said it “challenges viewers to take a stand for equality” and named Great Caesar a band “on the verge.” The video garnered attention from influencers and tastemakers as varied as Russell Simmons and Deepak Chopra to Arsenio Hall and Superbowl champion/LGBT advocate Brendon Ayanbadejo\, and it earned the band an invitation to perform and speak at TEDxHollywood\, Summit Series\, and The Feast. \nWith excitement around the group growing\, Great Caesar left Brooklyn behind for two months in early 2015 to hunker down in Southampton and focus on new music and their first tour to SXSW. On two different weekends\, they invited a few dozen friends and fans from the city to come live in the house with them and listen to the new tunes. The morning after one of those winter showcases\, they filmed a live performance using empty cans and kitchenware for percussion that landed them on a featured post from NPR as a standout performance in the Tiny Desk Concert contest. Living together in such close quarters proved to be an invaluable experience for the band\, both for personal bonding and for their creative output\, which was partly inspired by a life-changing visit to the Marion Correctional Institution in Ohio. \n“None of us knew what to expect\, but we ended up having this incredibly powerful experience\,” says Parker of the performance\, which they routed into a national tour last fall. “First\, we got to be a part of a spoken word session that a few of the guys were doing\, where we’d play a little bit and they’d share their poetry. It was honest\, vulnerable\, and really skillful. When the time came for our show\, over 100 inmates filed into the chapel\, and we just dove right in. As soon as we finished the first song\, ‘Still Love\,’ everyone jumped to their feet and gave us a standing ovation\, which sort of shocked us. But then they jumped up and cheered for every song after that\, too\, and by the end of the set\, we had this very emotional\, visceral experience of the power of music and performance. It was an important moment for our band to see the impact we can have on folks\, and to feel the impact an audience can have on us\, even when we’re least expecting it.” \nTwo songs Parker penned while reflecting on the band’s experience at Marion—the warm and soulful lead single “Hey Mama” and the harmony-rich\, chamber-folk track “Jolene”—are early indications of the band’s remarkable growth and maturity in the short time since their last release. Recorded at the iconic Bear Creek studio outside Seattle with producer Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers\, Vance Joy)\, the tracks showcase sophisticated arrangements full of dreamy guitars\, lush horns\, and infectious melodies.  \nThese tracks\, though\, are only a part of this new beginning for Great Caesar. ‘Jackson’s Big Sky’ is out now\, soon to be followed by a US tour\, and more videos are already in the works. And who knows\, maybe they’ll play another snowy house show or two while they’re at it. The band may have found their sound in the dead of winter\, but everything Great Caesar touches is heating up.

The band’s unique sound has allowed it to endure for nearly three decades and appeal to fans\, young and\nold\, all over the world.  \nWhen The English Beat (known simply as The Beat in their native England) rushed on to the music scene in 1979\, it was a time of massive social and political unrest and economic and musical upheaval. This set the stage for a period of unbridled musical creativity\, and thanks in large part to the Punk movement and it’s DIY approach to making music\, artists like The Beat were able to speak out and speak their mind on the news of the day\, as in “Stand Down Margaret”\, things that mattered to them and the youth culture\, as in “Get A Job”\, and universal matters of the heart and soul\, as in their classic hits “I Confess” and “Save It For Later”. \nThe original band consisted of singer-songwriter Dave Wakeling on vocals and guitar\, Andy Cox on guitar\, David Steele on bass\, and Everett Morton on drums – later additions Ranking Roger (toasting)\nand foundational First Wave Ska legend Saxa (saxophone) completed the outfit. The band crossed over fluidly between soul\, reggae\, pop and punk\, and from these disparate pieces they created an infectious dance rhythm. \nThe Beat first came to prominence as founding members of the British Two Tone Ska movement\, with their classic first album “Just Can’t Stop It” fitting squarely in that genre. Along with their\ncontemporaries The Specials\, The Selecter\, and Madness\, the band became an overnight sensation and one of the most popular and influential bands of that movement. \nHowever\, band leader Dave Wakeling never felt constrained by the movement. Dave has always viewed ska as a springboard\, not a straight jacket. Indeed\, the band’s sound continued to evolve over\ntheir first three studio albums\, through the General Public era (a band formed by Dave with Ranking Roger\, the toaster from The Beat)\, and has continued it’s evolution with the forthcoming English Beat album “Here We Go Love”\, a PledgeMusic crowd-funded album set for release in 2016\, the band’s first new album since 1982’s “Special Beat Service”. \nConsummate showman that he is\, Dave Wakeling has continued to keep The Beat alive and strong. Dave continues to tour the world as The English Beat with an amazing all-star ska backing band playing all the hits of The Beat\, General Public\, and songs from his new album “Here We Go Love”. \nYou just can’t stop The English Beat! \n*** \nSoul Asylum \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \n“A friend asked me what kind of records I want to make\, and my answer was that I always want to make a record that I want to hear that’s not already in my record collection\,” says Dave Pirner. “I think we got that on this one.” \nPirner is referring to Change of Fortune\, Soul Asylum’s eleventh studio album\, and its first for Entertainment One Music (eOne Music). The dozen-song set embodies the band’s trademark balance of rocking abandon\, infectious melodic craft and raw-nerved emotional depth\, boasting a compelling set of new Pirner compositions while showcasing the strength and versatility of Soul Asylum’s current lineup\, which teams founding singer/guitarist Pirner with guitarist Justin Sharbono\, bassist Winston Roye and drummer Michael Bland. \nThree and half decades down the road from the band’s indie-punk origins\, Change of Fortune — co-produced by the band and longtime studio collaborator John Fields — is classic Soul Asylum\, with such musically and lyrically pointed new tunes as first single “Supersonic\,” “Can’t Help It\,” “Doomsday\,” “Make It Real\,” and the title track packing a familiar sonic and emotional punch\, while carrying a hard-won sense of survival and perseverance that honors Soul Asylum’s storied history while pointing towards the future. \n“It’s more honest than any record I’ve made in a very long time\, just because there was no one looking over my shoulder and editing me\, which was very liberating for me\,” says Pirner. “It sounds like the vision that I had in mind a really long time ago. When I listen to it\, I think\, ‘That sounds like Soul Asylum\,’ and that’s as good as it gets for me.”  \nChange of Fortune — which features an appropriately arresting cover image by world-renowned wildlife photographer TK — marks the recording debut of the current Soul Asylum lineup\, which has racked up a considerable amount of roadwork and honed its combustible musical chemistry since Sharbono and Roye joined in 2012. Drummer and multi-talented right-hand man Bland joined Soul Asylum in 2005 with an extensive resume that includes work with fellow Minneapolitans Prince and Paul Westerberg. \n“I would say\, without reservation\, that my band is probably the best band on the planet\,” Pirner asserts\, adding\, “That always gets me in trouble\, but it’s not because of me; it’s because of Michael and Winston and Justin. It’s incomprehensible to me that the elements have fallen into place the way they have\, but it’s driving me nuts how much I love this band.” \nSoul Asylum has been inspiring that level of passion since 1981\, when the band\, initially known as Loud Fast Rules\, formed in Minneapolis. The band’s raucous live sets and early releases on the hometown indie label Twin/Tone — including the albums Say What You Will\, Made to Be Broken and While You Were Out — earned it a loyal fan base and widespread critical acclaim. \nSoul Asylum’s indie success led to the band entering the major-label mainstream with 1988’s Hang Time and its 1990 follow-up And the Horse They Rode In On\, and achieving a platinum-level commercial breakthrough with 1992’s Grave Dancers Union and 1995’s Let Your Dim Light Shine. Grave Dancers Union featured the international hits “Runaway Train\,” which won a 1994 Grammy as Best Rock Song\, and “Black Gold\,” while Let Your Dim Light Shine spawned the hit “Misery.” The band went on hiatus after 1998’s Candy from a Stranger\, during which time Pirner released his first solo effort\, Faces & Names. Soul Asylum returned to action in 2006 with The Silver Lining and released Delayed Reaction six years later. \n“When I was a kid\, I wanted to be in a band\, and I decided that’s what I was gonna do\, and that hasn’t changed\,” Pirner notes. “This whole thing is an act of faith\, and the worse the music business gets\, the more of an act of faith it becomes. But I don’t give a f—\, I’m gonna keep doing this until the day I die. We’re always struggling to figure out how we’re gonna make this work\, but I’m not going to waver.  \n“People who feel disenfranchised tend to identify with Soul Asylum\,” Pirner observes. “I’ll look out at the crowd and see people singing along with my songs of frustration and insecurity\, and the irony is not lost on me. There’s a part of me that’s never gonna fit in\, but I love being around people who love music\, and I’m very loyal to the idea of whatever Soul Asylum is. The future is bright\, everything is good\, and if there’s something in this record that can make people feel like things are gonna be OK\, then it’s mission accomplished.”
