WILLIE BASSE / Rock For Recovery Cancer Benefit Tour

WILLIE BASSE / Rock For Recovery Cancer Benefit Tour comes to The WHISKY in Hollywood Monday APRIL 4 and CONCERT PUB NORTH in Houston, TX. Saturday APRIL 9, 2016

After a SOLD OUT benefit concert in February at Paladino's in Tarzana, CA. featuring GnR / Black Sheep / Velvet Revolver Icon SLASH, the WILLIE BASSE / Rock For Recovery Cancer Benefit Tour hits The WHISKY in Hollywood, CA. on Monday April 4 and CONCERT PUB NORTH in Houston, TX. Saturday April 9.

Cultural Ambassador to The Sunset Strip, WILLIE BASSE who less than a year ago survived heart valve replacement, was diagnosed with a rare skin Lymphoma called MYCOSIS FUNGOIDES. It is in Stage-4, has spread to his bloodstream and covers over 80% of his body.

Basse states, "I had no idea, but I listened to my body which was telling me something was wrong." Little is known about this horrible disease, its' causes and specific treatments. It is believed to be terminal and currently has no cure. Basse comments further, "I insisted on a Biopsy because of the severe itching and flaky dry skin. It came back positive and Blood Tests were consistent with the Biopsy. However, CT Scans and X-Rays revealed the cancer was NOT in my internal organs! I believe with proper nutrition, treatments and exorcise, I will soon be cancer free."

A Go Fund Me donation page has been set up to help fund Basse's cancer treatments and medical expenses. Visit http://GoFundMe.com/basseheartsurgery

Every donation of $25 or more will put you on Willie's special VIP Guest List at the concerts.

Pete RG Announces 2016 Spring Tour Supporting Candlebox

"Full, resonant vocals delivering a dreamy landscape of straightforward heartfelt sentiment."
- Guitar World's Acoustic Nation

"Pete RG‘s post-rock sound packs enough power for him to be considered an arena rock contender while still remaining smooth and sophisticated."
- Diffuser

"Speckled with hints of Neil Diamond, Leonard Cohen and Matt Berninger, RG is blessed to have a voice so unique, so enchanting and so captivating. It is that voice and its intrinsic charisma that will carry RG forward in the months and years to come."
- Absolute Punk

Los Angeles, CA (March 10, 2016) - Pete RG will be supporting Candlebox on their 2016 Disappearing From Airports tour, which kicks off April 1st in Louisville, KY. His backing band will feature multi-instrumentalist/co-producer Brina Kabler, bassist Adam Kury, guitarist Kevin Haaland and drummer Dave Krusen (an original member of Pearl Jam).

RG will be promoting his latest work, Reaching For The Moon, which was released on October 9, 2015 via his 4L Entertainment imprint. RG will also be debuting songs from his forthcoming album, Sentimental Fools, scheduled to come out in July 2016.

The singer-songwriter delivers a rustic yet soulful sound throughout the five song EP as he sings about celebrating the splendors of life. Such a message of rejoicing life is fully captured on "Divine", the EP's first single. "The song's about making the most of every moment we're given," describes RG. "It's about focusing on what we have and need as opposed to chasing our wants, because life is simply too short and beautiful."

Stream/Share the single "Divine" here:
www.soundcloud.com/pete-rg/divine/s-aWJGV

Reaching For The Moon marks RG's follow up to the acclaimed Lightning Strikes EP, released in the spring of 2015. Once again recording in his personal Santa Monica studio, RG collaborated heavily Kabler, Kury, Haaland and Krusen after touring the better part of the year together.

"Lightning Strikes was recorded over the course of the year, making the recording process less organic since we were in and out of the studio numerous times," explains RG. "When we began recording Reaching For The Moon, we were fresh off the road and restless to get into the studio. I was determined to work at a faster pace to maintain the band's momentum."

Getting his start in music as the frontman of L.A. indie pop/Americana outfit Last December, RG wasted no time finding his own voice as a solo artist, starting with his debut full-length New Eyes in 2013. However, Pete RG's solo efforts have proven to be an even stronger collaborative effort. "I wanted Last December to capture all the feelings and subtleties that I felt when I played the songs by myself," recalls RG. "Now, I want to reveal as little as possible about myself while working with a band. It's a much more fun and rewarding process than the earlier days."

Maverick Musician Touring The USA, Guerrilla Style

Indie Soul Rock Singer-Songwriter Shanta Paloma has spontaneously set out on a national tour to bring music to people of America, where they are at — their venues, their streets, and their computers. With unconventional strategy, she is stopping in approximately 20 major cities across the USA to play her music wherever she can. Some shows and festivals are scheduled. Others are on the fly. Armed with a guitar and a GoPro action camera, Shanta has been videotaping her journey and releasing a rockumentary series.

This adventure is being shared via Paloma’s Youtube Channel: www.Youtube.com/ShantaPaloma and her website, www.ShantaPaloma.com.

According to Shanta, the whole project is a demonstration not only on following one’s bliss, but also on how the music industry has changed so drastically since social media networks and online distribution. Paloma said, "The music industry rules keep changing as fast as it takes us musicians to catch on. Being an independent singer-songwriter means being our own PR reps, booking agents, marketing firms, managers, promoters, sound guys, roadies and web designers. And that can take away resources from making quality art. Now, more than ever, we artists must create something out of nothing because there are the rules that never change — share good music. Why can’t it be just as simple as that? I believe in sharing resources and my songs are what I have to offer."

Maverick musician Shanta Paloma embarked on her unconventional tour on October 4th, 2015, in Boston, Massachusetts. Solo, she is driving northwest, down California and then back to New England, via the southern route. For up to date information on where and when Shanta will be touring, visit her website often: www.ShantaPaloma.com.

The Jessica Stuart Few Brings Masterclasses and Show to Beijing's DDC

Canadian indie folk-jazz power trio The Jessica Stuart Few will embark on its debut tour of China this fall with events at Beijing's DDC (Dusk to Dawn Club) on Sunday, November 8th. Starting at 3pm, bandleader Jessica Stuart will present three master classes called "Koto Talk," "Rhythm & Groove" and "Harmony & Melody" followed by a full show starting at 9:00pm. Presented by MusicDish*China, the tour is also supported by music portal Kanjian that is distributing her sophomore album "Two Sides To Every Story." The tour also includes events in Tianjin, Shijiazhuang and Taiyuan as well as dates in Japan.

Master Class #1: Koto Talk
Sunday, November 8th - 3:00-3:50 PM
Going into depth about the Japanese traditional 13-stringed harp, a descendent of the Chinese guzheng, and how it became a part of a Canadian indie folk-jazz trio's instrumentation. Learn about different types of textures and timbres that can be created by the koto and how it inspires the songwriting of The Jessica Stuart Few.

Master Class #2: Rhythm & Groove
Sunday, November 8th - 4:00-4:50 PM
Although the vast majority of what we hear on the radio is in 4/4 time, there are dozens of different rhythms and grooves out there to explore. This participatory master class will demonstrate and examine some less common rhythms, through the songs of The Jessica Stuart Few, while leading master class participants to create interesting and unusual grooves of their own.

Master Class #3: Harmony & Melody
Sunday, November 8th - 5:00-5:50 PM
The melody of a song usually gets treated as the star of the show, but what about the harmony surrounding it? This master class will give a new perspective on harmony, using the music of The Jessica Stuart Few to show how chords supporting a melody can change the sentiment of a song, and participants will be led to use their voices to create beautiful layers of harmony on the spot.

Internationally-touring indie folk-jazz power trio, The Jessica Stuart Few has one of the freshest sounds around. The band's sophomore album, Two Sides to Every Story, was released to critical acclaim, winning the 2014 international Independent Music Award (IMA) for 'Best Album' and dubbed, 'endlessly charismatic', by The Globe and Mail's Brad Wheeler. While on tour throughout North America, Asia, Europe and Australia, the band remains in regular rotation on Bravo! TV and CBC Radio while topping campus radio charts, and appearing on commercial airwaves in Japan, hitting #85 on the Tokio Top 100 and #38 on FM North Wave.

Jessica's unprecedented take on the Japanese koto (13-stringed harp), her exceptional guitar work, and signature songwriting are innovative and refreshing, earning them main stage performances at festivals worldwide. Stuart exhibits a pitch-perfect vocal sensibility reminiscent of Joni Mitchell, with stunning 3-part harmonies onstage, earning the group a spot on music industry and media's must-see lists.

Michal Menert To Release New Live Band EP Before Coast-to-Coast Tour

This fall Michal Menert takes his renowned musical stylings to the next level as he prepares for the September release of the debut studio album from his six-piece live band, Michal Menert and the Pretty Fantastics. The lyrically-driven EP will drop just before the band embarks on a 36-date tour across the U.S.

The Colorado-based musician and producer, dubbed by fans and the media as the godfather of electro-soul, has taken charge of the scene he helped create, pushing his music forward with bold creativity. His new band, Michal Menert and the Pretty Fantastics, is the latest incarnation of Menert's dedication to originality and musicianship in his music. The addition of live horns, keys, guitar, bass, and drums, plus his own sonic production makes Menert’s current and upcoming catalog come alive like never before.

The debut album for the sextet will be like nothing you've ever heard from Menert, and will distinguish Michal Menert and the Pretty Fantastics as its own musical force with a uniquely indie-rock style. With beautiful melodic structure, vocals from Michal himself, and playfully inventive lyricism, this upcoming EP takes a leap in an exciting new direction while maintaining the uncompromising songwriting and production that we've come to expect.

Bringing their new music on tour, the band, comprised of Michal Menert, Marcelo Moxy, AC Lao, Daniel De Lisle, Will Glazier and Matt van den Heuvel - all veterans of the Michal Menert Big Band - will be accompanied by additional sets from fellow Super Best artists Marcelo Moxy and WillDaBeast.

Moonshine Bandits Announce Headlining Tour With Angels Cut & Pruno

Central California outlaws The Moonshine Bandits are about to get back out on the road and raising some hell on their headlining tour with Angels Cut and California rapper Pruno throughout October and the rest of the year. The Moonshine Bandits continue to tour in support of their new album "Blacked Out", which debuted inside the Top 15 on Billboard's Country Albums chart at #13, cracked the Billboard Top 200, and simultaneously debuted in the top 10 on the Rap Chart.

"We are stoked to be bringing our artist Pruno to rock these shows because the Shiner Nation loves his music! We are also bringing Angel's cut who is a hot up & coming Northern California rock band that has a badass chick lead singer," commented Tex. "These upcoming stops on the tour are always big crowds full of energy so we expect it to be loud and rowdy, just how we love it."

Long before people figured out that country and rap had a lot in common, the Moonshine Bandits released their genre-blending album, "Whiskey & Women," and took the world of outlaw music by storm. The group's blue-collar work ethic and unwavering persistence has led to over 19 million views on the ShinerTV YouTube channel – collectively over 30 million views on YouTube - while their video for "My Kind of Country" peaked at #1 on CMT Pure. Connecting with fans on all levels, Moonshine Bandits have built a solid "Shiner Nation" of loyal fans, developed their own brand of Shiner Barbeque Seasoning, Beef Jerky and legal Moonshine.

"Blacked Out" is the most adventurous MSB album ever. With its crunchy guitar riffs and southern rock swagger, "Blacked Out" is a soundtrack to the real lives of Bird and Tex. Their friendship was forged in all-night keg parties deep in the country; their music grew from what they'd experienced together as restless young men who refuse to apologize for their patriotism, who value family and freedom and above all who feel the calling to celebrate those many Americans who share their beliefs.

Monster Energy Outbreak Tour - 2015 Electronic Edition - Presents GTA

The DJ Duo will embark on their first headlining national bus tour with support from 2015 XXL Freshman K-Camp & more

(August 11, 2015 - Los Angeles, CA) Monster Energy and Idol Roc Entertainment announce GTA to headline the fall electronic leg of the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour with support from XXL Freshman K-Camp as well as electronic dj/producers Sweater Beats & Wax Motif. The tour kicks off in Charlotte, NC on November 5th at Amos Southend and closes in Los Angeles on November 28th at The Palladium.

GTA is comprised of Miami natives, Julio Mejia and Matt Toth, who pride themselves on being genre-eradicating tastemakers within the industry. Formed after a happenstance introduction on Facebook, the duo's first production together began garnering the attention of EDM heavyweights such as Laidback Luke, Diplo, A-trak and countless others. Since their inception, GTA's development has been constant across all genres in electronic music and now sees them breaking into all spaces of dance, hip-hop and pop music. In 2013, GTA was asked to provide direct support for Rihanna on her 5-month Diamonds World Tour for the European, Australian, Asian and African portions, playing over 60 shows on 5 continents and captivating hundreds of thousands of fans. Seizing the momentum, they were selected to open on the UK Greater Than Tour with dance music titans Tiesto and Calvin Harris later that same year. The duo has also performed at some of the most iconic U.S. festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Ultra Music Festival and Electric Daisy Carnival, to name a few. Most recently, GTA released their EP DTG(Death To Genres) Vol. 1; and earlier this year dropped collabs with Flosstradamus, Lil Jon & Martin Solveig, respectively.

"We're beyond excited to embark on our first headlining bus tour. Bringing a rapper like K Camp together with electronic acts like our homies Sweater Beats & Wax motif is such a unique opportunity to give fans an amazing experience and really let people see and hear what 'Death To Genres' means to us! Another added benefit of doing a bus tour is we finally get to bring our own custom production and pair the visual aspect of the show with our music in the way we've always envisioned. This tour is really going to be something and we could be happier to with team that's been assembled to bring this life."-GTA

Tour producer Steve Glazer stated "We were fortunate enough to have GTA perform at our first ever house at SXSW and they were easily a fan favorite of the weekend. They embody the Outbreak Tour perfectly by aiming to create their own lane in the industry."

Peirson Live on Trip

Peirson will embark on a 900 km North Eastern canoe tour from Georgian Bay to Montreal with filmmaker/adventurer Frank Wolf and Peirson's band (+ guest musicians TBA) joining on dates including; Nature's Harmony EcoLodge in Mattawa, a fundraiser for EcoJustice in-store at Patagonia in Toronto and Dakota Tavern's Hayloft Dancehall show in Picton, ON. The tour begins June 3rd with an intimate show recorded live at The Painted Lady in the heart of Ossington village in downtown Toronto. The tour will celebrate the release of Peirson's latest album Wild Ones and pay homage to the very essence of Canada - the wilderness. Like modern day Voyageurs, Peirson and Frank will travel by canoe on the same water veins as the First Nations did when they populated the lands 10,000 years ago.

Peirson refers to the Wild Ones as a homesick project that prompted him to reconnect with his roots. Written in his New York apartment. Peirson plays each of the 20+ instruments himself and also designed and created the beautiful artwork. Each tile on the cover holds a paper-cut image of one of sixteen endangered species of Canada, and along with the songs, he intends for them to “represent the ten provinces, three territories and three oceans that reside within these fragile habitats.” Peirson's aim was to marry “art, music, and nature in an album dedicated to wildlife and to those living the wild life."

--------------

Frank Wolf is a Canadian filmmaker, adventurer, writer and environmentalist. He is known for films documenting wilderness expeditions around the world, with a focus on the Canadian North. His expeditions include being the first to canoe across Canada in one season and cycling 2,000 km in winter on the Yukon River from Dawson to Nome. His films include The Hand of Franklin, Kitturiaq, On the Line, Mammalian, and Borealis, all of which broadcast on CBC's documentary channel in Canada. In 2012 he was named one of Canada's Top Ten Adventurers by Explore Magazine, and in 2015 he was named One of Canada's Top 100 Explorers by Canadian Geographic Magazine.

Thanks to Ecojustice for fighting the good fight and to our sponsors Vasque, Norquay Paddles and Abitbi & Co. for your support.

Sister Roots & Cowboy Boots Tour takes Jax trio to VIP lounge for Tim McGraw concert

The Crazy Daysies, a country/Americana trio based in Jacksonville, will play venues in three states as part of their ‘Sister Roots & Cowboy Boots Tour.' Starting at the Hammock Wine Shoppe in Palm Coast on June 6, the trio will perform at venues like Orlando Brewing (FL), the Surf Bar in Folly Beach (SC), and Catch 228 on St. Simon's Island (GA).

Included in the 12-city tour is a special performance in the acoustic VIP lounge at the Coral Sky Amphitheater in West Palm Beach. That performance is a featured act during set changes for the Tim McGraw concert at the Amphitheater where country artists Billy Currington and Chase Bryant will also perform.

From eclectic venues in small towns like Jasper, Florida, to Country Fest in the nation's oldest city of St. Augustine, The Crazy Daysies will bring their unique blend of country/Americana to audiences young and old.

The trio is composed of Rebecca Day (lead vocals, guitar), her sister Jennifer Day Thompson (viola and vocals), and Fernandina Beach percussionist Beau Littles.

Rebecca pointed to South Florida Country Music as an organization that is "a great outlet for Florida country musicians." She said SFCM put together the opportunity at the Tim McGraw event. She added, "Even though we are independent musicians, it doesn't mean we are on this journey alone. Organizations such as South Florida Country Music, and our independent label CBM Records, based out of Atlanta, help us to continue on a path of success."

Full details on all cities and venues on the tour are posted with updates on the trio's official website, thecrazydaysies.com.

Pianist/Producer Fiona Joy Tours China In Cultural Exchange

Elegant and soulful, contemporary and classical, all of these elements are part of Fiona Joy's graceful yet emotional solo piano performances of her original music, which she is sharing with Chinese audiences throughout April as part of a cultural exchange tour at the invitation of the Chinese government.

The award-winning Australian citizen is an independent artist, producer and painter known for her pioneering attitude toward composition and recording formats; she will also perform for audiophiles this May 30th at T.H.E. Show in Newport Beach, CA in the United States.

Departing from Sydney, Australia, the first leg of her tour of China includes performances at a variety of large halls and theaters, with part two of the tour to be announced next week. Cities to date include:
• 23th April - Daning Theatre (Shanghai)
• 24th April - Grand Theatre (Tianjin)
• 25th April - Grand Theatre (Linyi)
• 26th April - Concert Hall (Nanjing)
• 30th April - Xiangyang
• 3rd May - Yantai

Fiona Joy has self-released over a dozen albums, in a variety of formats including vinyl, SACD, CD, DSD and hi-quality Mp3. Her latest is Signature – Solo, a new album in which each song is a modern, (and sometimes darker) fairytale; it is her first solo piano release, produced by Cookie Marenco for Tiny Island Music. It is available for preview and purchase in a variety of physical and digital formats at http://tinyislandmusic.bandcamp.com/

Marenco shares insights on Fiona Joy's music, saying "Fiona's music is a cross between George Winston's simple melodies and Ludovico Einaudi's musical sophistication."

On this album, Fiona Joy makes her vocal debut on the song "Once Upon Impossible (Duet)." Additionally, a poignantly simple original version of the popular song "Grace" appears on the album with vocals; earlier this year, a remixed version of the song was part of this year's Best New Age Grammy®-winning album.

Concert reviewer Michael Diamond, who attended Fiona Joy's 2014 Throckmorton Theatre concert in San Francisco where she first performed "Grace" and other pieces from Signature – Solo, commented "What I appreciated most was being able to listen and watch Fiona at the piano. The passion and elegance in her performance was breathtaking, as her flawless technique combined with pure emotional expression."

The Australia-based pianist/composer/producer and, now, vocalist adds "I hope that with all of these fantastic audio formats, every fan will be reached, and you will hear my feelings in these songs; they are dedicated to saving that small place in everyone's heart, the place where fairytales linger, and where we find the strength to meet our reality...with grace."
