BOB SEGER TOUR DATES

Final Bob Seger Tour Dates Announced for 2011

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band are rounding out the second leg of their hugely successful 2011 North American Tour with a series of dates on the west coast including Los Angeles, Oakland, and Phoenix, and topping it all off with a special New Year’s show in Las Vegas.  Seger originally conceived his 2011 Tour as a short spring run of 18-20 dates.  Due to the overwhelming response from fans, Seger nearly tripled the number of shows. The Vegas performance will be Seger’s 50^th concert in 2011. 

On September 13, Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band made digital history of their own by offering fans a Free 6-Track Bonus EP on iTunes to celebrate the release of their digitally remastered multi-platinum Nine Tonight and Live Bullet concert albums.  During the one week promotion, Seger gave his fans 1,698,000 free downloaded tracks. The two live double albums debuted in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top 200 Catalog Chart at #4 and #7, respectively.

Seger & his Silver Bullet Band’s live performances led to record sales in excess of 51 million including 11 platinum and seven multi-platinum RIAA-certified album awards. Seger holds the distinction in 2010 for the #1 Catalog Album of the Decade for his Greatest Hits, which has sold over nine million copies (U.S.A.) to date, posting an unbroken 17-year streak on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums and Catalog Albums charts.   

Tickets for the newly announced dates go on sale in select markets beginning October 15^th. Tickets for all other dates are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com.

Steve Perry Street Talk - A Vinyl Classic Reissued and Remastered for a new Generation

STEVE PERRY OVERSEES METICULOUS REMASTERING OF HIS 1984 SOLO ALBUM DEBUT, FEATURING #1 "OH SHERRIE"

180-gram virgin vinyl edition available everywhere starting November 1, 2011, through Columbia/Legacy

Street Talk is released simultaneously with CD and gatefold double 180-gram virgin vinyl edition of brand new Journey collection, GREATEST HITS VOL. 2 - AND gatefold double 180-gram virgin vinyl edition of original GREATEST HITS, all overseen by Steve Perry 

Nearly three decades after its initial release in 1984, STREET TALK, the debut solo album from Journey lead singer Steve Perry, has been meticulously remastered for a new generation of rock fans who are rediscovering the sonic wonders of vinyl.

The RIAA double-platinum classic, featuring the #1 single "Oh Sherrie" (and follow-up hits "Foolish Heart," "I Believe," "She's Mine" and "Strung Out") will be available as an audiophile 180-gram LP in original artwork, starting November 1, 2011, through Columbia/Legacy, a division of SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT. The LP will also come with an exclusive free bonus download of the specially mastered-for-vinyl digital files.
As many long time fans remember, STREET TALK was one of the most successful albums of the original MTV era. The classic video for "Oh Sherrie" - in which Steve lampoons the high-concept video making that was popular at the time - became a memorable touchstone on its own, marking one of the first times an artist broke the standard album-version formula of early MTV. Two other videos, "Foolish Heart" and "Strung Out" followed, with Perry showing his varied roots – namely Soul and Rock music – as well as poking fun at the industry that was rapidly making him a household name.

For the new remastering, Steve worked at long-time industry standard The Mastering Lab in Ojai, CA – using the original master tapes – with engineer Robert Hadley to achieve what he feels is the definitive vinyl version of the album.

"I started with a pristine 24bit/96khz transfer of the original stereo mix and went from there. We used Pro Tools to bring out some of the subtle frequencies and moments in the original mixes that, in the old world of live analog hands-on console mixing would get compromised. Now we can take our time and really make the original tracks shine. This hybrid of analog and digital is, in my opinion, the wave of the future. The vinyl pressings also sound fantastic! The RTI pressing plant really knows how to take the lacquers we created and press some amazing audiophile-quality vinyl. I truly feel like this is the way this album was supposed to sound!" – Steve Perry

STREET TALK by STEVE PERRY (Columbia/Legacy 88697 93882 1 originally issued April 1984, as Columbia 39334) Selections: 1. Oh Sherrie (1st single, Rock #1, Hot 100 #3) * 2. I Believe (2nd single, Rock #43) * 3. Go Away * 4. Foolish Heart (5th single, Hot 100 #18) * 5. It's Only Love * 6. She's Mine (3rd single, Rock #15, Hot 100 #21) * 7. You Should Be Happy * 8. Running Alone * 9. Captured by the Moment * 10. Strung Out (4th single, Rock #17, Hot 100 #40).

STREET TALK vinyl meticulously remastered to vinyl by Robert Hadley and Steve Perry at The Mastering Lab in Ojai, California.

Jesse James Dupree Recuperating Following Motorcycle Accident‏

Jesse James Dupree is recuperating at home following a motorcycle accident on Route 411 by the Georgia / Alabama state line.  Dupree was struck by an automobile, suffering a broken left ankle and foot, fractured right arm, and significant bruising to his lower back, alongside a severe case of road rash. The Jackyl front man and co-star of Full Throttle Saloon on Tru-TV is expected to make a full recovery. 

 

Michael Ballard’s Full Throttle Saloon is the “World’s Largest Biker Bar,” a 30-acre enormous indoor/outdoor bar with several large stages, a burn-out pit, a tattoo parlor, zip lines, a wrestling ring, restaurants, dozens of stores, hundreds of cabins for rent and parking for thousands of bikes.  It opens for two weeks annually around the Sturgis rally, and the indelible color of the sights and sounds of Sturgis are documented and aired on Tru-TV.  Currently seen in 91 million U.S. households, the 17-year-old network features high-stakes, action-packed originals that give viewers access to places and situations they can’t normally experience.  The show will return for a third season this November.

 

Formed in 1990, Jackyl has enjoyed a career stretching two decades, bringing a hybrid of Southern metal to millions.  From the band’s debut in 1992 via Geffen Records, through today, they are notorious as one of the hardest working bands in rock.    Jackyl holds two Guiness world records, one for staging 100 shows in 50 days, and another for performing 21 concerts in a 24-hour period.   Jesse James Dupree and partner Michael Ballard also brew Jessie James Dupree’s America’s Outlaw Beer.

RUSH to Release "Time Machine 2011: Live in Cleveland" DVD on November 8‏

RUSH TO RELEASE TIME MACHINE 2011: LIVE IN CLEVELAND

DVD ON NOVEMBER 8

FILM COMING TO BIG SCREEN HD AND MOVIE THEATERS ACROSS THE U.S.

STARTING OCTOBER 26

“The current Time Machine jaunt is nothing less than a must-see.” – Hollywood Reporter

“Rush has not slowed. Rush has not mellowed with age. If anything, Rush is rocking harder than ever.” – Boston Globe

Anthem Entertainment and Zoë Vision are pleased to announce the BluRay/DVD release of RUSH TIME MACHINE 2011: Live In Cleveland.  The DVD is an evening with Rush performing their classic hits and features the legendary Moving Pictures album live in its entirety. Released in 1981, Moving Pictures was their most successful album to date, certified 4x Platinum and features some of Rush’s most well known songs and perennial radio favorites, including “Tom Sawyer,” “Limelight” and the Grammy®-nominated instrumental “YYZ.”
 
Captured in April at Cleveland’s Quicken Loans arena during the renowned trio’s extensive Time Machine world tour, TIME MACHINE 2011: Live In Cleveland marks the band’s first live concert filmed in the United States. The choice to record in Cleveland was a deliberate nod of gratitude to the first city to support Rush on its airwaves, as former WMMS DJ Donna Halper is widely credited for helping break the band in 1974 by spinning “Working Man.” The reinterpreted live version of “Working Man” was the encore closer on the Time Machine tour and is included on this DVD. 

In addition to the 26-song concert set, Rush’s notorious concept tour videos will be included: The first short film, entitled “The ‘Real’ History of Rush Episode No. 2 ‘Don’t Be Rash,’” and the opening the second set video, The ‘Real’ History of Rush Episode No. 17 ‘...and Rock and Roll is My Name.’” The bonus material features outtakes from the short films, an alternate film version video for “Tom Sawyer”, and two rare pieces of Rush live footage from the vault: “Need Some Love” from Laura Second Secondary School with original drummer John Rutsey, and “Anthem” from Passaic New Jersey.

Anthem, Rush and Rounder Records have again selected D&E Entertainment (www.DandEentertainment.com), who theatrically distributed the documentary Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage, to bring Time Machine to the big screen and movie theaters across the US starting October 26.  D&E will be working with Eagle Vision to bring Time Machine to theaters across the UK and other territories as well.  Info on all screenings will be available at www.RushTimeMachinePremiere.com.  The big screen HD digital cinema presentation will give fans the best seat in the house and transport them from the theater to the front row of the concert. 

In related news, Anthem/Roadrunner will simultaneously release a 2 CD live album entitled Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland as well as Moving Pictures: Live 2011 on vinyl and digital formats on November 8th. 

Rush has sold more than 40 million records worldwide and garnered untold legions of devoted and admiring fans. According to the RIAA, Rush’s sales statistics place them third after The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for the most consecutive Gold or Platinum studio albums by a rock band.

This will be Anthem Entertainment and Zoë Vision’s sixth Rush DVD release.  The others are: Rush in Rio, R30, Snakes & Arrows Live, Working Men and the latest, award winning documentary – Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage.

Century Media Records is proud to announce the return of international goth metal stars Lacuna Coil; their sixth studio album DARK ADRENALINE is now scheduled for release in North America on January 24th, 2012.

Of the new album, Lacuna Coil's sultry co-vocalist Cristina Scabbia commented, "As some of you know, the release for DARK ADRENALINE was postponed a bit...and this made me even more nervous because I had to wait even more to spit it out! I am so thrilled I can finally say something about this album - ha! I simply love it. I feel this is the best work we have ever done, and it absolutely captures the essence of who we are. The atmosphere of the record will make a lot of old-school fans very happy, and the newer fans will enjoy the vibrant energy and the dark blood running through the songs. I really believe the DARK ADRENALINE will wake you up. Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to enjoy the trip!"

Boheme- The Highly Anticipated Debut of Antigone Rising's Cassidy‏ featuring Guest Vocals by former Journey frontman Steve Perry

BOHÈME POISED TO “FOLLOW THE FREEDOM”

FORMER ANTIGONE RISING STAR UNVEILS SOLO DEBUT

SOUL-POWERED, SELF-PRODUCED NEW ALBUM

FEATURES GUEST VOCALS FROM JOURNEY’S STEVE PERRY

“FOLLOW THE FREEDOM” ARRIVES LATER THIS YEAR

Singer/songwriter Cassidy’s new project entitled Bohème has at last been completed, and the eagerly anticipated solo debut album, is called Follow The Freedom. Hailed by veteran Rolling Stone writer David Fricke as “a vocal dynamo,” the former front woman of the once-acclaimed Antigone Rising, will make her album available later this year on her own Band and Mountain label.

Follow The Freedom marks an extraordinary new chapter in Cassidy’s already remarkable career. With its blue-eyed soul and pop-influenced sound as well as powerful sense of hope and optimism, the album marks a kind of creative rebirth for the Los Angeles-based artist.

Of the departure says Cassidy, “I needed to go back to the beginning, to who I was before the band. I found that girl was still very much there, and had been progressing the whole time.” Then came the reinvention. "Bohème is the name of the project," she says, "but it's also me--who I am and how I feel—a gypsy, a free spirit. I'll always be Cassidy, that's my name, but this is sort of an alter ego, a character I’ve created as I’m starring in this new role of my life."

Co-produced by Cassidy with longtime collaborator Don Boyette (a top session bassist known for his work alongside Michael Jackson, Lionel Ritchie, and Steve Nicks), Bohème’s Follow The Freedom sees the multi-talented musician/entrepeneur crafting a distinctive collection of songs rich with passion, brave emotion, and uncommon style. From the breezy, buoyant “Everything Sunshine” to the reflective “Even the Mistakes and the searing “Thank You for Breaking My Heart,” Bohème invested every bit of heart and soul into the recording and the results are truly triumphant.

Among the album’s many highlights is the stunning title track, which features backing vocals from none other than Journey’s Steve Perry. The legendary lead singer offered his spontaneous support when he surprised Bohème at the studio during the sessions.

“I walked into the studio one day to find Steve Perry hanging out in my mixing bay,” she recalls still with a bit of disbelief . "Before I knew it, he came up with this cool idea for a backing vocal on ‘Follow The Freedom.’ We threw a mic up and sang it together!”

Bohème’s Cassidy led the once-critically acclaimed Antigone Rising as its lead singer and primary songwriter from late 1999 to early 2008. The all-female rock band released four independent albums before ultimately signing to Lava/Atlantic Records. The band’s 2005 major label debut, From the Ground Up, achieved sales exceeding 500,000 on her watch, in part thanks to the support of the original “Starbucks Hear Music” campaign. A powerful live performer, Cassidy shared stages with some of music’s biggest stars, including The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Dave Mathews Band, and her good friend Rob Thomas, who said about the singer, “Cassidy is a born star.”

Cassidy also received extensive praise from a wide range of national media, including USA Today’s Elysa Gardner, who singled her out for particular applause, commending Cassidy’s “rootsy, accessible songs” and “vibrato-laden powerhouse of a voice.” Bohème’s Follow The Freedom arrives Fall, 2011.

38 SPECIAL TO RELEASE LIVE ALBUM LIVE FROM TEXAS Hits Stores August 30

After more than three decades together, 38 SPECIAL continue to bring their signature blast of Southern Rock to over 100 cities a year. At every stop, fans ask the same question: "When are you going to record a live album?" And it's for those very fans the band has recorded LIVE FROM TEXAS, an explosive collection of the band's signature songs that are engrained in the fabric of American music that will hit stores August 30, 2011.



The notion of releasing a new live album started to take precedent around the fall of 2009. A desire was growing to showcase a new spirit of 38 SPECIAL, a band that had matured into a tighter unit with an innate ability to read each other on the stage after thousands upon thousands of miles on the road.



"For LIVE FROM TEXAS, we brought our digital equipment out with us and recorded the shows using direct inputs and special audience mics. Then we took it all back to our studio for remixing," said 38 SPECIAL co-founder/guitarist/ vocalist Don Barnes. "We wanted to experiment with the new audio technical advances gained in the last decade. The plan was to make it sound like you're right there in front of the band with the audience all around you, a sense of 'being there.' So, I think there's a noticeable difference. It just rocks! Those crowds out in Texas were massive and all of the classic songs deserved a chance to shine in an enhanced live fashion. I think we were finally able to deliver what we represent onstage."




Their initial idea was to make a live recording available exclusively at the band's shows, with an eye toward having fans take home a copy to carry on the party. But what they found as they listened back - after gleaning select tracks from various cities across Texas - was a blistering new set with a distinct difference in performance as well as audio quality than years before. It grew into an excitedly motivated plan to make available to the world 38 SPECIAL - LIVE FROM TEXAS, a collectively proud history of a band that has made the road a part of its heritage.



In addition to the numerous hits and rock anthems - "Rockin' Into The Night," "Caught Up In You," "Back Where You Belong," "Fantasy Girl," "Hold On Loosely," and "Chain Lightnin," - there is much more. The album also includes a seven-song medley of other popular cuts, as well as a surprise appearance with co-founder/vocalist Donnie Van Zant being joined by his younger brother, Johnny - current lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd - on the only live version of their Van Zant country hit "Help Somebody." The band later goes even wilder on a bombastic encore to reveal some past influences, with rousing renditions of "Back In The U.S.A." and "Travelin' Band."



The high-energy compilation is highlighted by the vocals and guitar work of Danny Chauncey, with Bobby Capps on keys and vocals, bassist Larry "LJ" Junstrom holding the bottom together, and drummer Gary Moffatt providing the driving beat.



"And the magic's still there," adds Van Zant. "It's an emotional high for us to keep 'bringing it' after all these years. That's what you hear on the new live stuff, that sense of urgency and power."
