KURT DEIMER ANNOUNCES SHOWS WITH TESLA IN THE US + NEW HORROR FILM

Singer Kurt Deimer stayed quite busy throughout 2022 – with the arrival of his debut EP, ‘Word Hard Rock Hard,’ which he recorded with his bandmate and creative partner (and Bon Jovi guitarist) Phil X. 

 

And 2023 will see Deimer build his fanbase with further touring in the US. 

 

“We got a couple more Tesla dates in January. I’m also going to shoot my second feature film that I star in, called ‘Scared to Death,’ along with Lin Shaye, she’s known for the ‘Insidious’ franchise and her role in Kingpin with Woody Harrelson, and Bill Moseley, who was in Rob Zombie’s ‘The Devil’s Rejects,’ amongst other projects. 

And we already have further tour dates with Tesla in the Midwest with many, many more to come – starting in April, after my movie shoot.”

 

“2022 was the year we saw the band evolve. We continued to enhance our live show and become a really tight rock'n'roll band. Given that we are direct support, when we hit the stage, we entertain folks at the highest level – with the opportunity we're given and the amount of space we're given on stage. And 2022 has been a great bridge and a great training ground – ‘battle ground’ if you will – setting us up for all the big things that are about to happen in 2023. So, 2022 was the year of hard work. A year of figuring stuff out, a year making the necessary changes to continue to grow as a band and continue to grow our audience across the world.”

Deimer has also issued several music videos thus far, which can be viewed via these links:

“Naïve” -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp-7ZopNcwQ

“Burn Together” (featuring Geoff Tate) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYWxNdXZqz4

 

With 2022 now in the rearview mirror, Deimer looks back upon the past twelve months with fondness. “Favorite moments from the band this year for sure was our five days that we did with Tesla in the beginning of September. Those were epic shows. We had come off the Yngwie Malmsteen tour, which was another great moment. With Tesla, we did House of Blues and auditoriums - we really got to play in front of a thousand plus every night, and converted even more fans. Another great memorable moment with those Tesla shows was when we came out on stage at the last show at the House of Blues in New Orleans, to play with them on ‘Signs.’ To be on stage with other musicians that I admire so much was a big highlight. And another highlight of 2022 was when we played to 3,000+ fans with Mushroomhead, at their big Halloween bash in Cleveland at the Agora.”

 

Undoubtedly, 2023 is going to be a big year for Kurt Deimer.

KURT DEIMER PAYS TRIBUTE TO HIS LATE FATHER WITH NEW SINGLE, "MY DAD,"

Kurt Deimer's current single and video, "Hero," was just released last month and is causing a buzz with rock fans as it builds towards a July 4 release at Active Rock radio. Now, to coincide with Father's Day (June 19th), Deimer is unveiling a special song and video to honor his personal hero, "My Dad." The song is a tribute to Kurt's late father and can be heard and viewed – along with “Hero” - via these links:

"My father was my hero," explains the singer. "My father taught me to be the kind of human I am now – to have a heart that cares about other people, to always take the high road, always kill people with kindness, and to always give. He was always respected as a person because of the way he treated people. So, all the qualities I have about caring and compassion and peace and kindness and love, they all came from my father.

"My dad passed away on April 6, 2016. He had quit smoking when he was 28, he struggled with his weight and, eventually, it led to congestive heart failure. My sister had passed a few years before in the same hospice my dad passed in, and I was with her when she died - holding her hand. I was able to say my goodbyes. With my father, I said, 'It's okay to go now, dad.’ And I swear to God within two seconds, his heart stopped beating and he died right there. It is crazy - like he knew I was there, and then when I told him it was good, he went… I wrote these lyrics in about 15 minutes on my back porch at two in the morning, talking to my dad. I have not performed it live yet, but I anticipate that it's going to be very emotional."

In addition to his new heartfelt tune and his current single “Hero,” Deimer has been steadily making a name for himself opening for Geoff Tate and Yngwie Malmsteen, working with Bon Jovi guitarist Phil X on his EP ‘Work Hard Rock Hard,’ performing at the Rainbow Bar & Grill 50th Anniversary Party in Los Angeles, and being one of the featured artists on the ShipRocked Cruise, which saw him perform on stage with the likes of Nita Strauss, Bumblefoot, POD’s Sonny Sandoval and Bad Brains’ HR, among others.

His touching video for "My Dad" is sure to connect with a large audience, who may see parallels between the video and their own lives and relationships.

"I said, 'Let's present life and death and his memory.' And then we went to my mother's house and got all the footage - she had saved a bunch of footage from her old cameras, and I just wanted to celebrate his life because if I can celebrate his life and it resonates with others, maybe it'll make them go back and look at their old home videos and not take that stuff for granted. Whether it's a dad or a mom or a sibling that they've lost, go back and revisit the middle and remember the good times and honor their memory. That's where that came from."
