SUMMARY:Red Wanting Blue
DESCRIPTION:About Red Wanting Blue \nIn the years since vocalist and songwriter Scott Terry formed Red Wanting Blue\, the band has gone on to establish itself as a quintessential example of American perseverance and hard work\, building an exceedingly loyal fanbase based on non-stop touring\, all without any industry support. \nKnown for making instant fans of the uninitiated with one of the most engaging and passionate live shows on the road today\, Red Wanting Blue found even bigger audiences after the release of its 2012 From The Vanishing Point album\, which landed in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Heatseekers chart and at #1 for the band’s home region. \nAppearances on The Late Show with David Letterman\, VH1’s Big Morning Buzz Live\, and NPR’s Mountain Stage followed\, and while the band continues to reach new and bigger career milestones\, Red Wanting Blue is also staying true to its roots. This is evident on the upcoming new album “Little America\,” the band’s most personal and promising recording to date. \n“Little America” celebrates a community spirit Red Wanting Blue shares with its audience that goes beyond fans who simply give back the passion that comes off the stage. Red Wanting Blue’s hard work is matched by fans who work hard\, too. It’s not unexpected for members of this growing legion to take days off of work and cross state lines to follow the band\, to learn just-written tunes from wobbly YouTube videos\, and to sing every word at every concert. \nJust prior to recording “Little America\,” Red Wanting Blue wrapped up over two years of touring that brought to the rest of the nation what the band’s long-time followers in the middle of the country already knew about. Packed rooms and sold-out performances throughout the U.S. and Canada proved that Red Wanting Blue wasn’t just a regional phenomenon. It also gave band leader Terry some newfound perspective on his art and his profession. \n“There are several reasons why this album is called ‘Little America\,’” he explains. \nOn a white-knuckle drive from Salt Lake City to Denver through a Wyoming snowstorm in the early winter of 2013\, the band’s converted mobile home nearly hit a jackknifed tractor-trailer. \n“The truck came to a halt just before getting to us\,” Terry remembers. “There was debris everywhere and we sat in awe for a moment before we maneuvered around the wreckage and slowly made our way down the mountain. We pulled off at the first truck stop we saw – it happened to be named ‘Little America.’” \n“Little America” also represents an ideology that stems from Terry’s childhood. \n“As a child\, America was the most enormous thing I knew\, and as I got older\, it became an epic and unconquerable wilderness that I thought I would spend my whole life discovering. My relationship with America has gotten so much more intimate than I ever could have dreamed. It’s ‘Little America\,’ like the nickname you can only give to someone after you’ve really gotten to know them.” \nTerry also acknowledges the influence of Simon & Garfunkel’s classic song “America” on the album\, and his life in general. \n“I started playing music to get to see this country through the eyes of a rock n’ roll band\,” he says. “‘And we walked off to look for America’ is one of my favorite lyrical images ever. ‘We walked off to look for America?’ But\, aren’t we already here? I suppose so\, if it’s just a name of a place. But it’s so much more than that.” \nTerry continues\, “I’m trying to experience the America I romanticized from the lyrics of rock n’ roll songs. I wanted to know what it felt like to ‘pull into Nazareth’ like The Band’s ‘The Weight’ described. ‘On the road again\, like a band of gypsies\, we go down the highway\,’ ‘Baby\, we were born to run\,’ and on and on and on.” \nTerry sums up his connection with these songs and his connection with Red Wanting Blue’s fans this way: “These songs are the soundtrack of my life\, and it’s my calling to give that back with the hope of having our songs be the soundtrack of someone else’s.”

SUMMARY:Marty Friedman
DESCRIPTION:About Marty Friedman \nMARTY FRIEDMAN`s presence in the world of music\, the world of guitar\, and Japanese pop culture is mystifying\, bizarre\, and nothing short or inspiring.\n\nHis 14th solo album\, ONE BAD M.F. Live!! is an all-out celebration of Marty`s music in its rawest form\, Recorded live during his 2018 Wall of Sound tour\, ONE BAD M.F. Live!! smashes any notions you may have about instrumental music being pompous and snobby. As seen in the first music video for the album\, “Whiteworm”\, Marty and the band are all smiles and are in constant interaction with the audience\, pouncing on the rhythms and playing such addictive melodies that one doesn`t miss a vocalist for a moment.\n\n“This live album is a tip of the hat to the live albums that blew my mind when I was a kid\,” explains FRIEDMAN\, “the musical content itself is modern and atomic-powered\, but the presentation is decidedly old school. The pacing of the show\, the audience participation stuff\, the special live arrangements of the songs\, it`s all been tweaked in such a way to give the audience the feeling that they are really getting something special\, that only happens at THEIR show\, not just a recital of the songs exactly as they know them. There are happy accidents\, once in a lifetime ad libs\, things that could have only happened because we were high on the audience`s energy.”\n\nMARTY FRIEDMAN`s first major impact in music was in the game-changing guitar duo Cacophony\, which he founded with equally enigmatic and now legendary guitarist\, Jason Becker. He then spent 10 years as lead guitarist in the genre-defining thrash metal icon Megadeth. His tenure in the band\, considered the “golden era” by many\, was indisputably the most successful era in the band`s history\, by any criteria.\n\nAs much as he loved Megadeth\, its music and its fans\, FRIEDMAN`s overwhelming love of Japanese music and the Japanese language\, found him leaving the band and moving to Tokyo. It is there where his career took off in very unexpected ways. His appearance as the star of a new TV comedy\, “Hebimeta-san” (“Mr. Heavy Metal”) and its spinoff\, “Rock Fujiyama\,” which ran for six seasons\, propelled him into the living rooms of Japan`s mainstream. This led to appearances on over 700 TV shows of every category\, parts in major Japanese motion pictures\, several TV commercials\, including a two-year Coca-Cola campaign for Fanta. His popularity with the Japanese public led him to write two best-selling books in Japanese. In 2018\, Young Guitar Magazine honored him with a 175-page special edition devoted only to FRIEDMAN and his inimitable playing style.\n\nDespite MARTY FRIEDMAN`s flourishing television career\, he still considers his music his “only real job\,” often performing at the Tokyo Dome\, Budokan\, the Super Arena and other top venues with his own music\, as well as guesting with other artists.\n\nAlong with releasing his ever evolving solo albums\, he also writes and performs with the top artists in Japanese music\, racking up countless chart hits including a #1 with Smap\, two #2 songs with Momoiro Clover\, a #2 with Sound Horizon\, and a long list of others in and around the Top 10 in Japan. His latest Japan-only release\, B: THE BEGINNING-THE IMAGE ALBUM\, hit #1 on the overall Japan iTunes chart in fall of 2017.\n\nIn 2017\, the Japanese Government appointed MARTY FRIEDMAN as an Ambassador of Japan Heritage\, for a term of three years through the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Along with J-pop icon Kyary Pamyu Pamyu\, baseball legend Hideki Matsui and four others\, he’s the first foreigner ever to receive this title. He performed the Opening Ceremony at the Tokyo Marathon in both 2017 and 2018\, again the first foreigner to do so. His most recent collaboration with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra is the government sponsored Japan Heritage Theme Song.\n\nNow with the release of ONE BAD M.F. Live!!\, the combination of his other worldly experiences culminate into an avalanche of emotion\, in his immediately recognizable style. “I like to lose myself in giving as much energy to the audience every night. I want everyone to go home feeling like they were injected with a shot of positive vibes.” MARTY FRIEDMAN continues\, “I think we captured that on the record.”

SUMMARY:Brandon "Taz" Neiderauer
DESCRIPTION:About Brandon “Taz” Neiderauer \nFifteen-year-old Brandon Niederauer\, nicknamed “Taz” for his ferocious guitar playing\, is living proof that dreams really do come true. Having performed in some of the most legendary venues in America with many of the most prominent musicians of our time\, the young guitarist\, singer\, and songwriter has already earned himself quite the reputation.\nIt all started at eight years old\, when Brandon watched the movie School of Rock. Already inspired by his father’s record collection\, Brandon instantly realized he was destined to play guitar. From that moment on\, his guitar rarely left his hands.

SUMMARY:(SOLD OUT) The Steel Woods
DESCRIPTION:About The Steel Woods \n“Well\, I ain’t afraid of dying ‘cause I know where I’ll go/There I’ll live forever on the streets made of gold” “Rock That Says My Name”\n\nThe Steel Woods’ sophomore Thirty Tigers album\, Old News\, represents a creative leap for the southern roots rock songwriting team of Alabama native Wes Bayliss and his North Carolina partner Jason “Rowdy” Cope\, who completed their first recordings barely months after they first met.\n\nRecorded in Asheville\, NC at Echo Mountain Studios\, the site of an old church during a six-day break in a hectic touring schedule\, the new double-vinyl disc (the follow-up to 2017’s critically acclaimed Straw in the Wind) features more original songs and\, for the first time\, the whole band participated – including the rhythm section of bassist Johnny Stanton and drummer Jay Tooke – playing in a single room\, cutting the tracks virtually live.\n\n“We really hone in on what we do\, our strengths as a band\, establishing a musical identity\,” explains Wes about their latest effort. “The first album\, we were still figuring out our sound\, so what came out\, came out. This time\, we had a premeditated blueprint\, a real plan.”\n\nThe songwriting partnership between Bayliss and Cope continues to grow\, mature and blossom. “Over time\, you find out a person’s strengths and weaknesses\, and it just happened to turn out his strengths are my weaknesses\, and vice versa.”\n\nPart Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Allman Brothers\, dual-guitar southern blues-rock with elements of R&B\, country\, bluegrass\, gospel\, blues\, folk and metal\, the descriptively named\, Nashville-based band deepens its resolve on a theme-driven album that joins the mystery train of the past with the full-speed loco-motion of the present\, seeking to bring people together with the universality of music.\n\nConceptually and musically\, Old News delivers a set of songs at once eternal with lyrics wrenched from today’s headlines\, featuring mythic reverberations and social critiques to boot. The album mourns an idealized past but isn’t afraid to point the way to a better future that enlists the best of both worlds.\n\nLike The Steel Woods’ previous release\, death and mortality make their chilling presence felt\, whether it’s in the collection’s cemetery-placed set piece\, “Rock That Says My Name\,” whose theme is classic Shelley – “Ozymandias\, look upon ye works and despair” – or the vintage bluegrass country of “Anna Lee\,” the culmination of a murder trilogy begun with “Della Jane’s Heart” on the last album and ending with the Neil Young/Crazy Horse-ish instrumental\, “Red River (The Fall of Jimmy Sutherland).” That preoccupation spills over into an idiosyncratic cover of Townes Van Zandt’s “The Catfish Song\,” and a special four-song epilogue that includes faithful tributes to artists who have passed away – Tom Petty (“Southern Accent”)\, Merle Haggard (the prescient “Are The Good Times Really Over”)\, Gregg Allman (“Whipping Post” as funeral dirge) and Alabama singer/songwriter Wayne Mills (the meditation on mortality\, “One of These Days”). Just as on Straw in the Wind\, there’s a Black Sabbath cover\, this time a take on “Changes” that transforms the song into a smooth Memphis-style Al Green soul croon\, a nod to the cover by the late Charles Bradley.\n\n“Death is a part of life that gets looked over\,” says Wes. “It can be a positive or a negative\, consequence or reward… It just finds its way into a lot of our writing.”\n\nThe album’s title track – which inspired the mock old-fashioned newspaper album cover representing each of the songs with a tintype illustration – is an example of the timeliness and timelessness of Old News\, a song of hope that focuses on what connects us. “And pray for Miss Liberty\,” sings Wes. “And the crack in Her bell/There’s a tear in Her eye/But Her arm hasn’t fell.”\n\n“We wanted to write a song of hope\,” says Bayliss\, who notes his wife gave him a hard time about the grammatically incorrect use of “fell.” “Forget about those small things which divide us. This is about the things we all have in common. We’re all here living and working\, trying to get by\, raising families. We all just want to live and die free.”\n\nIn a world torn apart by differences\, Old News invites us to partake of music as a common language\, reinvigorating classic tropes with up-do-date relevance. The rowdy guitar blues of “Blind Lover” envisions a world where we trust our hearts without judgement\, while “Compared to a Soul” offers another of The Steel Woods’ penchant for moral fables\, this one a pair of Faustian bargains with the devil\, one a man who shoots a friend for cheating at cards\, the other a Jezebel stepping out on her Marine lover.\n\nThe opener\, “All of These Years\,” offers a ZZ Top-like guitar riff from an unrecorded song\, “Shooting Scar\,” while “Without You” offers tough love to a friend “in a bad place\,” but in a last-minute narrative twist\, turns out to be confronting his own reflection in a shattered mirror.\n\n“This wasn’t an easy record to make\,” acknowledges Bayliss about the blood on some of these Old News tracks.\n\n“Rock That Says My Name” is arguably the album’s raison d’etre\, a sprawling multi-part epic that recalls such forebears as Buffalo Springfield’s Jack Nitzsche-produced “Expecting to Fly\,” confronting our own lives in the rear-view mirror. The song ends with Wes’ grandfather solemnly intoning the words of Matthew 6:19-21 from the King James Bible\, a benediction that leads into the four-song “Obituaries” tribute that ends the album. The song was inspired by Wes reading an article about someone purchasing a tombstone in advance.\n“What better way to drive yourself to live well than looking at your legacy\, what you leave behind when you’re gone\,” says Wes. “Just a rock with your name\, when you were born and the day you died.”\n\n“We’re going to tour this record and do everything in our power to do it justice and get it out to our fans\,” says Bayliss. With Old News\, The Steel Woods continue to build on the independent-minded approach to recording\, touring and connecting to fans which has defined their career from the start.

SUMMARY:Kikagaku Moyo
DESCRIPTION:About Kikagaku Moyo \n“Masana” is a fictional word created by Kikagaku Moyo to express a Utopian feeling; an existence where everything can interact harmoniously and offer inspiration and understanding. Their fourth album Masana Temples radiates this vision\, architecting a vibrating world that isn’t confined to the known limits of what came before it. \nKikagaku Moyo progressed from early days in Tokyo’s experimental scene to traveling the world with their mind-bending sounds\, exploring different facets of psychedelia on each new release and blowing minds with a live show that was just as searching as their records. The shifting dimensions of Masana Temples are informed by various experiences the band had with traveling through life together\, ranging from the months spent on tour to making a pilgrimage to Lisbon to record the album with jazz musician Bruno Pernadas. The songs came together in the wake of the band breaking up the communal house most of them had shared in Tokyo\, with some members relocating to Amsterdam\, and others moving to different parts of Japan. Transitioning from being based in the scene they had roots in to scattering around various locales made for an even more enhanced understanding of how mystically connected the sum of their parts were when the band reunited to record new material. The music is the product of time spent in motion and all of the bending mindsets that come with it. \nThe band sought out Pernadas both out of admiration for his music and in an intentional move to work with a producer who came from a wildly different background. With Masana Temples\, the band wanted to challenge their own concepts of what psychedelic music could be. Elements of both the attentive folk and wild-eyed rocking sides of the band are still intact throughout Masana Temples\, but they’re sharper and more defined. Without sacrificing any of their experimental impulses\, songs are more composed and cohesive. Pernadas’ bright production meets with nearly telepathically locked-in performances\, on both lazy cloud-like jaunts like “Nazo Nazo” or fuzzed-out expeditions like lead single “Gatherings”. Drummer/vocalist Go Kurosawa\, guitarist/vocalist Tomo Katsurada\, bassist Kotsuguy\, sitar and keyboard player Ryu Kurosawa and guitarist Daoud Popal Akira act as a unit\, with an intuitive attention to space and dynamics that could only come from years of playing together in every imaginable setting. \nMore than the literal interpretation of being on a journey\, the album’s always changing sonic panorama reflects the spiritual connection of the band moving through this all together. Life for a traveling band is a series of constant metamorphoses\, with languages\, cultures\, climates and vibes changing with each new town. The only constant for Kikagaku Moyo throughout their travels were the five band members always together moving through it all\, but each of them taking everything in from very different perspectives. Inspecting the harmonies and disparities between these perspectives\, the group reflects the emotional impact of their nomadic paths. \nComing together in a way more deliberate than the beautifully floating improvisations of their Stone Garden EP or the sometimes hushed dreamstate of 2016 album House In The Tall Grass\, Masana Temples is focused and clear in its vision in a way that feels unlike any of Kikagaku Moyo’s earlier sounds.
