Scotty McCreery Releases Acoustic Version of Latest Single "Fall of Summer"

On the heels of releasing an official video for his latest single last week, Triple Tigers recording artist Scotty McCreery has released an acoustic version of “Fall of Summer” today. Listen to it HERE, watch the lyric video for the acoustic version below, and watch the recently released official music video directed by Jeff Ray HERE. 
 
“There’s something about the vibe of ‘Fall of Summer’ that lends itself to an acoustic version,” said McCreery. “It brings an even more intimate feel to this wistful look back at a past summer love. Hope everyone enjoys it.”
 
Written by McCreery, Frank Rogers and Brent Anderson and produced by Rogers, Derek Wells, and Aaron Eshuis, “Fall of Summer,” is currently climbing the charts at country radio and was most added in its first week. Filled with mature nostalgia, and built on one of the album’s most modern, cinematic sounds, the mid-tempo and reflective standout finds the country crooner’s vocal at a low simmer, as a guy looks back on a season of life that ultimately faded, but also made room for the here and now.
 
Rise & Fall is McCreery’s most critically acclaimed album to date, with Billboard naming it one of the 50 Best Albums of 2024 (So Far). The album’s first single, “Cab in a Solo,” recently became his sixth No. 1 hit. Listen to the album Rolling Stone says is “every bit as legit as Jamey Johnson’s That Lonesome Song, Garth Brooks’ In Pieces, or Randy Travis’ Storms of Life,” HERE. And check out “Fall of Summer (NC State Version)” recently released due to popular demand, HERE.
 
“Across the 13-track collection, McCreery exhibits his continued growth as a vocalist and songwriter,” notes Holler. Peopleechoes the sentiment, writing that the album “brims with a newfound confidence and maturity,” while Country Now calls it “his best record yet,” and American Songwriter declares it a “career album” as Rise & Fall finds him exploring not only heartbreak but rowdy nights, nostalgia, faith, newfound joy, fatherhood and enduring love, resulting in a project full of insightful storytelling. The album was produced by McCreery’s longtime production team of Frank Rogers, Derek Wells and Aaron Eshuis. 
 
McCreery co-wrote 12 of the 13 songs on the album, which Billboard observes, “Light-hearted fare such as ‘Stuck Behind a Tractor’ and ‘And Countin’’ mesh with heartbreak brushoffs such as ‘Lonely,’ the bluegrass-inflected album-closer ‘Porch’ and the faith-filled ‘Red Letter Blueprint.’” It is available digitally as well as on CD and vinyl. Order autographed vinyl and CDs of Rise & Fall HERE.

The North Carolina native joined Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings and James Taylor for “Concert for Carolina,” a benefit concert for those impacted by Hurricane Helene. Presented by Explore Asheville and the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority, “Concert for Carolina” will take place at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium and also features performances from Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, The Avett Brothers, and more. 
 
“I think everyone knows how much I love my home state,” said McCreery. “There are so many great things about North Carolina, but what I love most are the people. I’ve been in some of the affected areas recently and they have been devastated by the hurricane’s destruction. It’s inspiring to see the people pulling together and helping each other, but they need our help to recover and rebuild. I appreciate Luke Combs reaching out and asking me to be part of it. It is my honor to perform on this concert to help the state that I was born in and still live in today.”
 

McCreery was announced as direct support for select dates on the Kane Brown The High Road Tour in Spring 2025 (including Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on April 11, 2025), with tickets on sale now at Ticketmaster. 
 
He was also recently revealed to be a performer at the 2025 Stagecoach Festival on April 27, 2025. Tickets are on sale at StagecoachFestival.com. 
 
Having spent almost half his life in the spotlight making country music, the North Carolina native is in the midst of his headlining Fall of Summer Tour. Named after his current single of the same name, the tour is taking the North Carolina native across the U.S. and Canada with stops in Santa Fe, NM; Bakersfield, CA; Stamford, CT; Windsor, Ontario; Kansas City, MO, Las Vegas, NV, and more. McCreery will also make his long-awaited return to the UK next year, with five headline dates across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

GAEREA Surface to the Top of Extreme Metal

Ever since they set the world ablaze, Gaerea have raised the anticipation for their fourth album to an almost unbearable degree. From now on, the Portuguese masked sensations are no longer strictly a black metal band. Instead, they are emerging from the underground and clawing to the top of extreme metal. 

"As someone who's already heard Coma in full, you're getting a glimpse at one of the best metal records of 2024", wrote Metal Injection 

Now, Coma has finally surfaced. Gaerea's new album is out today, October 25, 2024 on Season of Mist. Hear all ten beautiful and bloodied songs by listening to the full album playlist on Season of Mist's YouTube channel, which features several all-new visualizers.

Listen to Coma  BELOW

As is often the case with black metal, Gaerea arrived shrouded in mystery. But while their identities remained hidden, the band emerged from pandemic limbo with a vision that was guided not by myths or pagan beliefs but a purging of raw emotion. Fear and loathing still pulse through their icy veins. However, with Coma, Gaerea have altered their stylistic makeup. 

"In the depths of my mind / Where the dusk resides", their new album beings with a heavy and heartfelt sigh. Coma is the first entry in  Gaerea's mantle-worthy discography to feature clean singing, though "The Poet's Ballet" is neither angel nor demon. Instead, the way the tremolo picking twists away from the light into wailing dissonance sounds like a soul trapped in purgatory.  

While produced by Gaerea's trusted confidant Miguel Tereso, Coma expands their signature sound in seemingly opposing directions. "World Ablaze" funnels their blackened vortex into a clearer song structure that's centered around an undeniable chorus. Even their most unsettling whispers were haunted by slivers of melody, but the new album digs its claws deeper into softly chiming post-rock. With its somber opening chords, "Suspended" unfolds like a wilted flower. That is, until the riffs come roaring into the fray behind an elevated gothic choir, bringing the band's level of despair to crushing new heights.  

Coma is carefully constructed, but the moments of intense beauty only raise Gaerea's devestating blows. Like a swaying chandelier, the bridge on "Hope Shatters" hangs perilously in the air before it's smashed to pieces by a hammering bass groove. "Welcome to the urban abyss", their vocalist screams in bloody anguish, as if chained to the gates of hell. "Where dreams turn to rust".     

The maze-like existence that Gaerea speak of on Coma is obscured by a depressive haze that feels like it will never end. Often, the lyrics go off in search of a greater sense of self, only to reach another dead end. "In the depths of bleakness / A glimmer of dawn" their vocalist cries out beneath the title track's unrelenting drum fills.    

But Coma finds Gaerea asserting their new identity with even greater confidence. "Unknown" now stands as the band's most viciously catchy song. The hooks slither and shake to a minor key before worming into your ear canals with sharp melancholic pangs. Once the blast beats  suck you into their vortex, the band’s sheer artistic force is blinding, like looking into the eyes of god. “This is who I am, sublime”.  

As grand finale "Kingdom of Thorns" reveals in all its devastating glory, the crown of excellence is a heavy one for any extreme metal band to come and bear. "Lone in the spotlight", their vocalist cries out above the album's mountain of a climax. But with Coma, Gaerea are boldly laying claiming to the throne. 

To usher in this new era, Gaerea are touring behind Coma well into 2025.

First, the masked sensations will return to North America this November with Zeal & Ardor and ZETRA. Next year, they'll embark on their first headlining tour of Europe with 10+ dates across Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

The beauty of Gaerea lies in the directness and simplicity found within their florid tapestry of extremity and aggression. Whether it is in the less-polished aural dynamite of Mirage, or in the lustrous textures of Coma, Gaerea is building a mighty edifice of metal. With talons dipped in the inky blood of black metal and scraped across the flesh of human suffering, Gaerea is leading a charge into the future of darkness, and all those who find beauty and power in the dark side of existence would do well to take heed.

Sun Atoms 'Everything Forever' album and new video for 'Narco Polo' feat. Isaac Brock

As the final single before releasing their sophomore album 'Everything Forever', Portland psychedelic gaze-wave outfit Sun Atoms and Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse transport unaware bystanders to a surreal, psychedelic fever dream in 'Narco Polo'. With B-side 'Stand Up Citizen', this is the final single from the band's sophomore record', set for release on November 8 via Little Cloud Records.

Sun Atoms is made up of producer and bassist Peter G. Holmström (The Dandy Warhols, Pete International Airport), vocalist Jsun Atoms (The Upsidedown, Daydream Machine), multi-instrumentalist June Kang, saxophonist-trumpeter-guitarist Mars de Ponte (LoveBomb Go-Go), drummer Eric Rubalcava and guitarist Derek Spencer Longoria-Gomez (Hi Hazel). 

Lending his distinct dark brilliance to this track, Brocks’ delivery bursts in a tidal ebb and flow throughout this fun artsy tune. Abuzz with a blend of rhythmic strangeness, it is complemented by a fun video created by Brady Tuazon.

"I crafted a narrative where Isaac is a wizard controlling people, with Jsun serving as his mischievous emissary, blurring the lines between realities. At its core, the concept aligns with Sun Atoms' recurring theme of duality. I wanted to take that theme and create a world where the characters aren’t sure if they’re awake or dreaming. Working with Isaac was simply inspiring. We filmed in his incredible space.... His interactions with the toys and wood carvings became the cornerstone of our visual narrative. His performance shaped the way we filmed the next scenes in ways we couldn't have anticipated," says director Brady Tuazon.

"We were fortunate to secure a vibrant location in Portland for the other scenes, perfectly complementing the dreamscape we wanted to create. It was almost as if the location became a character in itself. Every angle and every decoration in the house complimented the surreal nature of our story. In an era where AI is increasingly being utilized in video production, we made a conscious choice to rely on our own strengths and experiences to craft a compelling story. We didn’t want AI to take away the joys of creating. It’s what makes us human and deepens our connection. That connection can’t be replicated through a prompt, but instead is built slowly with each interaction. 'Narco Polo' is more than just a music video - it's a labor of love and a true embodiment of our collective artistic spirit".

Jsun Atoms adds, "The video shoot felt like a dada ice cream party inside a Salvador Dali painting. There was a scene that was especially David Lynchian in the bedroom with all of the characters, including a giant hand, a bear, an ice cream cone (which wicked wizard Isaac ad magically controlled into contorting through the air), and menacing Derek (in his own fever dream inside a dream inside a dream). I have to hand it to director Brady Tuazon. He got the entire cast to trade in their comfort zone for the Twilight Zone".

Peter G. Holmström and Isaac have been friends and collaborators for years, and Sun Atoms recently supported Modest Mouse for some West Coast shows. Holmström shares, "The video is amazing, the first time I saw it was when I was at Jagz Kooner's studio in Avebury Henge UK and we watched it 3 times in a row. Isaac brought a character to the song and video that painted outside the usual Sun Atoms color palate and it takes the music and imagery somewhere we had never gone before".

The 'Everything Forever' LP was mixed by iconic producer Jagz Kooner (Massive Attack, Primal Scream, Oasis, Garbage) and mastered by Keith Tenniswood (Spiritualized, Death In Vegas). Earlier this year, Sun Atoms released two singles from this album on 7-inch vinyl and digitally - the new wave 'Ceiling Tiles' with Leonard Cohen tribute 'Tower of Song (in the key of JAMC)', followed by the fantastic sonic odyssey 'Take This Love' with B-side 'And The Lion Saw The UFO'.

Meticulously crafted with cosmic energy, Sun Atoms captivates the senses beyond the boundaries of sound and space. A genre-defying fusion of psychedelic rock and indie pop, Sun Atoms push the boundaries of their own sonic exploration. Their debut album 'Let There Be Light' (2021). mixed by producer Stephen Street (Blur, The Smiths, The Cranberries), also involved The Black Angels’ Alex Maas, The Vandelles' Jasno Swarez and Gregg Williams (Sheryl Crow, Blitzen Trapper). 

This year, Sun Atoms played a series of sold-out concerts with Dinosaur Jr., crowning the list of shows they have played with Fishbone, Modest Mouse, Federale, Besnard Lakes, The Veldt, New Candys and TREMOURS. They've also shared the stage with the likes of Ty Segall, A Place To Bury Strangers, Neko Case, Built To Spill. Allah Las, Broncho and Night Beats.

'Narco Polo' is out everywhere, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp. The album 'Everything Forever' (out November 8) can be ordered via Bandcamp or via Little Cloud Records. Sun Atoms has several upcoming concerts in Portland and Seattle, accompanied by The Veldt, Asteroid #4, Los Mundos and Valley Suns, capping off the year with The Dandy Warhols 30th Anniversary show (with LSD & The Search For God and TREMOURS) in Portland on December 11.

HAVEN MADISON IS “OBSESSED” WITH HER NEW RELEASE & FALL TOUR SCHEDULE

Acclaimed the “Next Big Pop Star” by Katy Perry, Haven Madison is boldly “Obsessed” with her latest cheeky smash - available today. Handling shade with a beguiling metaphorical wink, "there is a confidence oozing from the pop sensation" (People). Listen to “Obsessed” now HERE.

Most recently teasing "Obsessed” in her set, Women’s Wear Daily praised that “the catchy tune instantly had the crowd screaming and dancing along, showcasing Madison’s knack for connecting with her audience.” Having just wrapped dates with New Hope Club, Haven is currently on the Young & Out of Love Tour with fellow American Idol fan-favorites - Blake Proehl, Kaibrienne and KAYKO - hitting major markets such as Los Angeles, New York City, Nashville, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle and more. 

“I think ‘Obsessed’ was such a healing song for me,” says Haven. “To be in the room with such incredible, talented and experienced writers, they encouraged me to take negativity and turn it into a compliment by allowing it to drive me instead of damage me. I wanted to record it because I hope it empowers other young creatives like it did us the day we made it. I can’t wait to play it on tour and dance any disdain right off our backs.”

The immensely honest lyricist, powerhouse vocalist, gifted multi-instrumentalist and captivating entertainer continues to showcase “her prowess as a performer” (Sweety High), bringing her electrifying live show and formidably confident setlist to fans, along with previewing even more new music. 

Co-writing the song with Gene Simmons’ daughter Sophie Simmons, Serban Cazan and Smiley Omul, “Obsessed,” produced by Serban Cazan, follows Haven’s label-debut EP, Turn Off All The Lights, that Us Weekly praised as “reminiscent of [Taylor] Swift’s confident and revenge-focused album Reputation” and People applauded as “a sweet collection of irate songs that each hold a lyrical punch…Amongst this seesaw of lyrical emotions is an undeniable sonic stunner of a singer who seems to be able to effortlessly hit notes that some could only dream of hitting.”

Her label-debut EP TURN OFF ALL THE LIGHTS displays her immense talent as a singer/songwriter and powerful vocalist and follows on the heels of her successful run as a Top 8 Season 21 finalist on ABC’s American Idol, where she captured the hearts of millions performing her own originals like the wistful “Fifteen” and heartfelt “Still Need You.” Earning instant praise from judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan, as well as guest judge Ed Sheeran, Madison’s viral duet performance of “Still Need You” with Perry catapulted her into the spotlight, garnering the admiration of millions of viewers and fans. Bringing her electrifying live show and formidably confident setlist to fans such as her latest smash “Obsessed,” along with previewing even more new music, the “pop sensation” (People, Sweety High) just wrapped dates with New Hope Club and is currently on the Young & Out of Love Tour with fellow American Idol fan-favorites Blake Proehl, Kaibrienne and KAYKO. 

Ian Munsick Releases Sobering “Fixin’ Me”

When Wyoming native Ian Munsick moved to Nashville ten years ago to pursue music, he noticed a recurring theme among the relationships he observed that began amid the neon signs and party culture which permeates the town. Reflecting on this, Munsick’s sobering “Fixin’ Me” cites the toxic push-and-pull that often results, as one person tries to fix bad habits while the other remains complacent. Listen to “Fixin’ Me” Below.
 
“There are a lot of bars in Nashville, a lot of drinking, a lot of broken love stories out there. I think that's everywhere, but especially in Nashville, alcohol really is the driver of how you meet people in the industry, and a lot of love stories happen through it,” Munsick shared in an interview with RFD-TV.
 
“Fixin’ Me” was written by Munsick, Trannie Anderson and Jared Conrad, and produced by Munsick, Conrad and Jeremy Spillman. View full lyrics and credits HERE.
 
“Nothing is more relatable than personal experience,” Munsick adds. “As a songwriter, I’ve always tried to write about what I know instead of what I think people want to hear. ‘Fixin’ Me’ is an intimate look at a relationship where one person is fixing themselves and the other is breaking because of that. When I started leaking this song to friends, most of them had experienced this same kind of relationship. It’s funny how the things we keep closest to our chest are actually the things that others relate to the most. That’s why being real and honest will always heal us in music and in life.” 
 
Celebrated by HITS Daily Double and The New Yorker alike for putting the “western back in country,” Munsick most recently released “Western Woman,” intertwining his love of the west and respect for the women who shape it. 
 
As he continues to tease new music, Munsick is also touring as direct support on select dates of reigning CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson’s Country’s Cool Again Tour. Munsick has a few remaining headlining shows through 2024, including his NFR kick-off at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on Dec. 6, with special guests Maggie Antone and Carson Jeffrey.

He has been named an “Artist to Watch” by Spotify, CMT, Fender, MusicRow and most recently was named a Martin Showcase Artist.

The Warner Music Nashville recording artist and multi-instrumentalist is representing his home, and its special cast of people, like never before. The first release from White Buffalo, standout duet “Long Live Cowgirls” (with Cody Johnson), hit No. 1 on SiriusXM’s The Highway Hot 30 Countdown, was named one of Amazon Music’s Best Country Songs of 2022 and recently received RIAA Gold-certification alongside “Long Haul” and “Horses Are Faster.” Fans of Ian Munsick will always find an open heart, natural awe and plainspoken honesty as he rides on… bringing the West to the rest.

Loss Becomes Share "Broken Mirrors" Video — WATCH // New Album "Sonder" Out 1/21

LOSS BECOMES — Brian Tsao, guitar; Will Gomez, bass; Anthony Copozzi, vocals; Anthony Lopardo, guitars; Sean Ageman, drums — have shared their brand new single "Broken Mirrors."

The song will live on the band's forthcoming album, Sonder, out January 21 of next year.

Watch the video for the song, which features guest vocals from Killswitch Engage singer Jesse Leach, below.

"This song is pretty much summed up as a conversation about OCD, something I've dealt with as far back as I can remember. So the idea of 'bad luck' has always been a funny thing that I've both been afraid of and laughed at continuously," says Copozzi.

He continues, "Working with Jesse was one of the best moments in my musical career. He's someone I've looked up to for many years, and now, I'm able to call him my friend. It's an honor and a privilege to work with someone that can challenge you and step up your game, while also helping craft your art into something bigger and better. What a dream come true."

Loss Becomes have booked some East Coast shows next month, with much more touring planned for 2025.  All confirmed dates are below.

LOSS BECOMES LIVE SHOWS:
11/14 — Brooklyn, NY — Lucky 13 Saloon*
11/15 — Poughkeepsie, NY — Reason & Ruckus**
11/16 — Ambler, PA — Off Kilter*
*Headline Show with Luxury Funeral
*With Halo Bite + Luxury Funeral

ABOUT LOSS BECOMES:  
Hailing from Queens and Long Island New York, Loss Becomes are not your typical metal band. Guitarist, YouTuber, and Chef/Owner of Mission Sandwich Social, Brian Tsao, has put together a band like few others. Accompanied by long time friend Will "Doc" Gomez (Johnny Cage is a Fake, Tiger Flowers), Anthony Copozzi (Thracian), Anthony Lopardo (Westfall Recording company), and Sean Ageman (Washed Up Media), Tsao and his bandmates have shaped Loss Becomes into a unique blend of metalcore with flashes of nu metal, hardcore thrash, and more. Having initially crafted their sound during the depths of the pandemic, Loss Becomes journey hasn't always been an easy one. After several years of hard work, the end product has been unleashed upon the world to critical acclaim. The music is unforgivingly aggressive with Anthony Copozzi’s ferocious enthusiasm heard on every lyric, giving the band what can only be described as a full aural assault. Loss Becomes are hungry and are forgetting their manners. Having performed alongside such acts as Alien Weaponry, Darkest Hour, Dr.Acula, Dying Wish, Extinction AD, Moon Tooth, Norma Jean, Swollen Teeth, and more, the band is no stranger to the stage. Loss Becomes are ready and able to take on all challenges regardless of genre and deliver a crushing live set.

RCW remain on the road, converting fans and concertgoers one show at a time. They recently supported The Dangerous Summer's national U.S. tour, opened west coast dates for The Juliana Theory, and opened for Sum 41, NOAHFINNCE, Hail The Sun, and more this year.

ART GARFUNKEL & HIS SON, ART GARFUNKEL JR. (GARFUNKEL & GARFUNKEL), SHINE ANOTHER SPOTLIGHT ON THEIR UPCOMING ALBUM, FATHER AND SON

Multiple GRAMMY® winner Art Garfunkel & his son, Art Garfunkel Jr., today release “Blue  Moon,” the second track from their highly anticipated Garfunkel & Garfunkel upcoming album, Father And Son, arriving November 8 via BMG Nashville in partnership with Telamo, and featuring some of the most acclaimed titles from the last century. Capturing the bittersweet essence of longing and hope with its haunting melody and poignant lyrics, the song tells the story of a solitary heart searching for love. The pair’s emotive vocals bring a deep sense of yearning to each note, transforming the melancholic theme into a timeless classic with their ethereal and cinematic dreamlike production. Listen to “Blue Moon” and pre-order/pre-add/pre-save Father And Son HERE. 

“This song [‘Blue Moon’] uniquely captures our connection,” shares Art. 

“A classic tune [‘Blue Moon’] right out of the American Songbook and the opener for our album that was a must-have for me and my dad,” Art Jr. continues. “It really brings us closer together.“

Available now, this latest release by Garfunkel & Garfunkel follows their first preview into the project, the heartfelt interpretation of the 80's hit "Time After Time.” The touching recreation seamlessly blended Art’s signature warmth with his son's youthful energy. The duo's version is both a nod to the original's emotional depth and a testament to their personal connection. Their harmonies and subtle reinterpretation breathe new life into the beloved tune, making it a moving tribute to the timelessness of the song. 

Produced by Felix Gauder, Father And Son will feature even more timeless hits spanning almost an entire century. An extremely personal selection, the project boasts longtime favorites the duo have been listening to together for as long as they can remember. The result is a beautiful testament to the unique bond between “father and son” and a lavishly arranged musical journey through different genres, covering much of the 20th century.

“It felt like a dream. It was quite wonderful. I love working with him. I like to say my son is a better singer than I am. I mean, I’m pretty good... but he is better…it’s very thrilling to record with him now,”  says hit-making veteran Art Garfunkel, who launched his career with Simon & Garfunkel in the late 1950s. “The new album is a love letter. It brings us together.” 

“It’s truly a father-son project,” continues Art Jr. “We recorded about a dozen of our most cherished songs. I brought more of the 80s influences into the project, and my father brought more of the Great American Songbook – wonderful songs from the 1940s and so on. These two influences came together in a pretty exciting way. So, it’s definitely an expression of our bond.” 

In celebration of the album release, Garfunkel & Garfunkel’s residency at NYC’s The Carlyle (Rosewood Hotel) is November 12-16. For tickets, visit: HERE. 

About Garfunkel & Garfunkel:

Art Garfunkel, renowned for his work with Simon & Garfunkel and his impressive solo career, is set to release a new collaborative album with his son, Art Garfunkel Jr., on November 8th, 2024. Titled Father And Son, the Garfunkel & Garfunkel album features a dozen English-language cover songs spanning nearly a century, blending their unique influences. Art Garfunkel Jr., who has achieved success with two top 10 albums in Germany, brings 80s influences to the project, while his father contributes his expertise in the Great American Songbook. The album showcases their strong father-son bond with lush orchestral arrangements, reflecting their deep connection and diverse musical backgrounds. The collaboration highlights their shared musical journey, with standout tracks including renditions of classics like “Let It Be Me,” “Blue Moon,” and “Blackbird.” Produced by Felix Gauder and featuring arrangements by Davide Rossi and Ash Howes, Father And Soncaptures the essence of their partnership and musical evolution.

GULF SHORES, Ala. – Today, Morgan Wallen, AEG Presents (producers of Stagecoach, California’s Country Music Festival and Hangout Music Festival) and the Hangout Festival are proud to announce the debut of Sand In My Boots. The new three-day music festival and beach vacation is set to take place on the Hangout Festival site on the idyllic shores of Gulf Shores, Alabama, May 16-18, 2025.

This unique concept has been a dream of Wallen’s for as long as he can remember, and he’s excited to present this exclusive experience to his fans, bringing together artists who have always wanted to perform together but never had the opportunity—until now.
 
About Morgan Wallen
When 15-time Billboard Music Awards-winner and current CMA Awards Entertainer of the Year nominee Morgan Wallen released his third studio album One Thing At A Time in 2023, its instant success left The New York Times proclaiming Wallen as “one of the biggest stars in pop, period.” One Thing At A Time has remained atop the all-genre Billboard 200 chart for 19 non-consecutive weeks and was the most-streamed album of the year on Spotify. The album’s 7x-Platinum single “Last Night” reeled in over 2.2 billion streams globally, becoming the most-streamed song of any genre in the U.S. across Apple Music and Spotify, and the longest running No. 1 solo song in Hot 100 history (16 weeks total). Recent collaboration with Post Malone, “I Had Some Help,” debuted at country radio with 167 first week adds, becoming only the second single in chart history to debut with the support of all reporting stations. Since its release, “I Had Some Help” remained No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 all-genre charts for six weeks and earned four nominations at the upcoming CMA Awards.
 
With 15 chart-toppers at country radio, Wallen played 10 countries/4 continents on his stadium One Night At A Time World Tour. Performing to over 2.4 million fans, One Night At A Time was named a Billboard and Pollstar Country Tour of the Year as well as People’s Choice Country Concert Tour of 2024, surpassing attendance records in numerous stops; including Neyland Stadium and Ohio Stadium, where Wallen became the largest weekend ever for both venues. The 38-show 2024 extension of One Night At A Time has led Wallen to over 50 stadium-plays, and included his first European run with seven shows in five countries. Wallen donates a portion from every ticket sold to his Morgan Wallen Foundation.

ABOUT KREATOR
 
Decades into their game-changing career, German metal legends Kreator find themselves more successful and influential than ever. They’ve stuck to their guns, weathered the trends, and outlasted their peers – never once wavering from the ferocious noise that excited them as teens. If anything, that thirst for sonic warfare is just as strong, if not stronger, today. Where others have suffered from creative malnourishment and artistic uncertainty, something which even metal’s biggest and best are prone to, Kreator have always charged full steam ahead – thanks to the red-eyed conviction and fearless determination of founding singer and guitarist Miland ‘Mille’ Petrozza. On 1985 debut Endless Pain, the Essen innovators created the template for extreme noise to come, fusing elements of thrash and black metal in ways that had never been heard before. Their sophomore album of the following year, Pleasure To Kill, became one of the landmark albums of 1986 – making metal history alongside key releases from Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth. And onwards they marched, bringing hellish anthems to the masses in every album that followed, with a track record few could ever rival.
 
The last decade has been a particularly exciting time for the group, with 2012’s Phantom Antichrist proving how they could embrace modern production techniques and move with the times without forsaking the underground spirit and defiance which made them a household name in the first place. Its successor, 2017’s Gods Of Violence, saw them topping the German charts for the very first time in their career, a feat virtually unheard for a band of such thunderous intensity.

They returned in 2022 with their fifteenth opus Hate Über Alles – which marked their first studio album with Frédéric Leclercq (ex-Dragonforce, Sinsaenum) on bass, joining Mille, guitarist Sami Yli-Sirniö and drummer Jürgen ‘Ventor’ Reil – the metal titans are once again channeling an unholy heaviness strong enough to tilt the earth off-axis.

Blackbird Presents and Live Nation announce that iconic Academy Award-winning Director Martin Scorsese will direct the capture of Life Is A Carnival: A Musical Celebration Of Robbie Robertson concert event for a future film release.
 
Notably, Scorsese directed “The Last Waltz” about Robbie and The Band's 1976 farewell concert, recognized as one of the greatest concert films ever made and in 2019 was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the US National Film Registry for its cultural significance. Thereafter, Scorsese and Robbie formed a lifelong bond with Robbie collaborating as a composer, music supervisor and music producer on numerous acclaimed Scorsese films including “Raging Bull,” “The King of Comedy,” “The Color of Money,” “Casino,” “Gangs of New York,” “The Departed,” “Shutter Island,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Silence,” “The Irishman” and most recently “Killers of the Flower Moon,” which was particularly meaningful to Robbie given his indigenous roots and for which he earned a posthumous Oscar nomination.
 
The all-star house band has also been announced for Life Is A Carnival: A Musical Celebration Of Robbie Robertson, featuring Ryan Bingham, Jamey Johnson, Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers), Don Was, John Medeski, Dave Malone, Terence Higgins, Cyril Neville, Mark Mullins & The Levee Horns. The house band joins the incredible lineup of performing artists previously announced including Trey Anastasio, Eric Church, Eric Clapton, Warren Haynes, Bruce Hornsby, Jim James, Daniel Lanois, Taj Mahal, Van Morrison, Margo Price, Robert Randolph, Nathaniel Rateliff, Allison Russell, Mavis Staples, Bobby Weir, and Lucinda Williams.
 
Final tickets for this once-in-a-lifetime concert event on Thursday, October 17, 2024, at the Kia Forum have been released and are now available at http://ticketmaster.com.
 
Life Is a Carnival: A Musical Celebration of Robbie Robertson promises to be a night of electrifying performances featuring superstar artists performing a diverse range of Robbie's most beloved songs, from his iconic solo work to classic tracks from The Band. This not-to-be-missed concert event takes place at the Forum 50 years after this iconic venue served as the final stop on the famed tour of Bob Dylan and The Band, which marked Dylan’s return to touring after an eight-year hiatus and became known as one of the largest and highest-profile tours of the era (with the live performances featuring a number of Robbie’s hit songs documented in the critically acclaimed record release “Before the Flood”).
 
Executive Producers of Life Is a Carnival: A Musical Celebration of Robbie Robertson are Martin Scorsese, Jared Levine, and Keith Wortman. Live Nation shall serve as the event promoter. A portion of the proceeds from the concert event shall be donated to The Woodland Cultural Centre that funds and operates a range of arts, history, and education programs on the Sixth Nations Reserve in Canada.

Girlschool originated in the UK during the New Wave of British Heavy Metal Scene in 1978 and is frequently associated with contemporaries and friends Motörhead. They are the longest running all-female rock band, still active and rocking hard after more than 40 years.

Girlschool enjoyed strong media exposure and commercial success in the U.K. in the early 1980s with three albums of 'punk-tinged metal' and a few singles.

In the 1990s and 2000s, they concentrated their efforts on live shows and tours, reducing considerably the production of studio albums. During their long career Girlschool toured all over the world, performing at many of the biggest rock and metal festivals as well as co-headlining with or supporting some of the most important hard rock and heavy metal bands in the genre.

They maintain a worldwide cult following and are considered an inspiration for many succeeding female rock musicians, such as The Donnas.

Original members Kim McAuliffe, Denise (Drench) Dufort are still in the band to this day, original member lead guitarist /vocalist/songwriter Kelly Johnson died of cancer in 2007 and was replaced by lead guitarist/songwriter Jackie (Jax) Chambers in 1999.

On July 28, 2023 at FORTY-FIVE years young, the British hard rock royalty came out swinging with their 14th studio album 'WTFortyfive?,' an outstanding and deliciously dirty declaration that age is a number that shows how much real raw attitude you have when it really counts. Kim, Denise, Jackie and Tracey leave the grit under their finger nails and the scuzz on their crusty leather boots as they riff and stomp their way through 12 statements of intent showing major attitude, some great melodies, and a consistent crunch to every guitar.

Lineup:

Kim McAuliffe: rhythm guitar, lead and backing vocals

Denise Dufort: drums Olivia Airey: bass

Jackie Chambers: lead guitar, backing vocals

"Concert for Carolina" Adds Veeps Livestream; The Avett Brothers, Scotty McCreery, Chase Rice & Parmalee Join Lineup

Due to overwhelming demand, Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings and James Taylor have partnered with Veeps to livestream “Concert for Carolina” on Saturday, October 26. The livestream was added to ensure that all fans would be able to see the show after tickets immediately sold-out this past Thursday. The stream will provide an additional opportunity to raise as much money as possible for Hurricane Helene relief efforts. Link to livestream HERE.
 
The livestream will be available worldwide with free access for those impacted by Hurricane Helene, as “Concert for Carolina” and Veeps have used geotargeting to ensure that those in the affected areas will not be charged. For those not directly impacted, the livestream will cost $24.99 with an option for additional donations available. All proceeds from the stream will go to the same organizations that Combs and Church selected for ticket sales to benefit: Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, Eblen Charities and the organizations supported by Chief Cares.

As noted above, North Carolina natives The Avett Brothers, Scotty McCreery, Chase Rice and Parmalee have all now joined the line-up. 
 
Presented by Explore Asheville and the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority, “Concert for Carolina” will take place at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium and also feature performances from Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban and Bailey Zimmerman. The event will be hosted by ESPN’s Marty Smith and Barstool Sports’ Caleb Pressley. Full details can be found at www.concertforcarolina.com.
 
“Concert for Carolina” is made possible due to the support and generosity of David and Nicole Tepper and Tepper Sports & Entertainment, Explore Asheville, Biltmore Estate, T-Mobile, Jack Daniel’s, Whataburger, Miller Lite, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, Belk, Lowe’s, Atrium Health, Tractor Supply Company, Bank of America, American Airlines, Food Lion, Duke’s Mayo, GE Aerospace, Harris Teeter, Pinnacle Financial Partners, United Healthcare, Bud Light, Preferred Parking and Gildan. 
 
Born outside of Charlotte and raised in Asheville, Combs is a proud North Carolinian. Growing up singing at school, it wasn’t until he attended Boone’s Appalachian State University that Combs first performed his own songs at a beloved local bar, leading him to his now historic country music career. Since moving to Nashville in 2014, Combs continually returns to North Carolina for landmark moments including his first-ever headline stadium show at Appalachian State’s Kidd Brewer Stadium in 2021 as well as sold-out, back-to-back nights at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium last summer. 
 
Church, a native of Granite Falls, also began his musical journey in Western North Carolina, playing gigs locally throughout high school and into his time at Appalachian State University before chasing his dream to Nashville. He continues to split time between Tennessee and North Carolina with his family, even returning to the Appalachian Mountains to record his most recent project, the three-part Heart & Soul, in Banner Elk. In 2016, he was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame and in 2022, he was awarded the North Carolina Award, the state’s highest civilian honor. Most recently, he released the song “Darkest Hour” in response to the recent devastation, with all publishing royalties being donated. 
 
Although he is a Michigan native, Strings’ life and career has been deeply impacted by the state of North Carolina both personally and professionally, as it is home to some of his most passionate and supportive fans. Over the past few years, Strings has performed at major venues across the state including an upcoming six-night run at Asheville’s ExploreAsheville.com Arena this winter.
 
Singer-songwriter Taylor moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina with his family when he was just three years old. Taylor’s father served as the Dean of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill medical school from 1964 to 1971. Taylor’s childhood home was on Morgan Creek Road in Chapel Hill-Carrboro. In April 2003, a bridge over Morgan Creek was dedicated to the musician, and renamed the James Taylor Bridge. Taylor’s childhood experiences in North Carolina influenced many of his most popular songs including “Copperline” as well as the beloved “Carolina in My Mind.” As a recording and touring artist, Taylor has touched people with his warm baritone voice and distinctive style of guitar-playing for more than 50 years.  Over the course of his celebrated career, he has sold more than 100 million albums, has won multiple Grammy Awards and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, as well as the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in 2009.
