"Close Beauty" is inspired from a simple notion, that when you are too close to an object you cannot see the real value. The instrumental album came together organically in a studio near Jan's hometown, and features Marijn van den Berg on drums, David De Marez Oyens on E-Bass and C-Bass and Coen Molenaar on keys. The stunning album cover, painted by Michael Cheval, fits the musical content of the album perfectly.

"Rock This Joint" is Swamp ‘n’ Roll Ambassadors third album, Munich blues rock quartet. It is a mix between a careful selection of blues songs and some original pieces, signed by guitarist and vocalist Olaf Gieben. With the exception of Robert Johnson's classic "Travelin 'Riverside Blues", the covers are lesser-known pearls such as "It’s Your Voodoo Working" or "Hellbound Train" by Savoy Brown, which is perhaps the highlight of the album. The tracks are a concentrate of the band's typical 70's blues rock style, characterized by a full-bodied guitar, a hot organ and solid rock bases of bass and drums. To close the album, however, is a dreamy ballad, "Sleep Well"

2019 release. You can't miss Ghalia Volt. She's the natural-born rock star with the leather jacket and wicked grin, leaning from her album sleeve to offer you a hit on her hip flask. But the real Southern blend ain't in the bottle, it's on the songs. Following the New Orleans flavors of her 2017 breakthrough, Let The Demons Out, this year sees the acclaimed Brussels-born singer-songwriter dive deeper into the American South, recording in the hill country of Mississippi, where she shared her songs with a cast of esteemed local musicians and caught the flying sparks. This is Mississippi Blend: an album as fiery and throat-burning as Delta moonshine.

Forced by his mother to join the elementary school band, deciding on a single instrument grew difficult to choose when surrounded by so many for JWhite. But when asked which would he like to play, unknowingly JWhite’s answer would unlock an incredible future.

“I guess that one…I like the way it’s shaped”


Ground-breaking artists like John Coltrane and Kenny G. – daring, innovative, and fearless – they changed the jazz world forever and opened doors for a new generation of musicians. Enter Detroit, Michigan native “JWhite”, a young, vibrant, versatile performer who has not only taken the torch from the aforementioned superstars: he is creating his own destiny with all-around talent rarely seen in the entertainment world. In fact, JWhite has already shared the stage alongside many industry greats like Smokie Norful, Dave Hollister, Warren Hill, Nick Colionne, Peter White, Euge Groove, Eric Darius, Eric Roberson, P.J. Morton and urban jazz saxophonist and flautist, Najee. Most recently, JWhite took runner up at the Warren Hill Sax Summit (2013), competing with Saxophonist from all of the world! As a result, JWhite was added on the Arizona Jazz Festival (2013) and rocked the stage! JWhite was such a hit, he was added on the San Diego Jazz Festival (2013, 2014), Las Vegas Jazz Festival (2013), Arizona Jazz Festival (2014) and Jazz at the Creek (San Diego, 2014). In 2014, the "JWhiteMusic" movement has reached Jazz venues in Detroit, Philly, and California.


JWhite began to develop quickly in music, studying privately under the late Emil Acitelli. His efforts eventually lead to a music scholarship attending the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, where J.White earned his Bachelor’s Degree in music and performed with the Marching Band, Wind Symphony, and toured with the Jazz Ensemble under the direction of the late Odie Burrus. While in College, JWhite began to tour all over the State of Arkansas and Memphis performing with a local show band. It was at the tender age of 20 when JWhite learned about showmanship, connectivity, and musical excellence.


Musically, JWhite lists everyone from Gerald Albright, Cannonball Adderly, and Kirk Whalum to Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon, and Grover Washington, Jr. as major influences. His own style and presentation borrows from the Pastelle and Rosewood movement, the contemporary urban scene, and youthful expressions from around the globe. JWhite'’s music is without a doubt soulfully-driven, and technically motivated intertwining the sounds of Smooth Jazz with a hint of Straight Ahead Jazz to deliver a sensual, harmonic, and melodic sound.


“I want my music to have identity and purpose and be felt by people from all walks of life. The freedom and life I feel when I’m on stage or in a night club playing with my eyes closed, is the same feeling I want listeners to experience when they turn my records on.”


The newest Smooth Jazz sensations include “You make me smile” which portrays beautiful vocals with a sweet sounding sax melody on top, as well as the new “wedding song” for years to come, “Today & Forever.” However, the single of the hit remake “Girls around the world” is the biggest radio and internet BUZZ! “"I did a remake of “Girls around the world”, by Lloyd, because I’m a big fan of all kinds of music and when I first heard the bass line and groove to that song, I knew I wanted do my version.”


JWhite is a songwriter, producer and musician who commands your attention with amazing, soulful sounds. Just listening to him for a first time, you sense his passion. He is a fearless, determined, talented young artist. With the release of his latest CD entitled, “A New Jazz Swagger”: Reloaded, it will only be a matter of time before this dynamic young man becomes a household name.

Tad Robinson - Real Street (2019)

 
DOWNLOAD Tracklist:

1 Changes 4:42
2 Full Grown Woman 3:14
3 Search Your Heart 4:27
4 Love in The Neighborhood 5:14
5 Wishing Well Blues 3:17
6 You Got It 5:01
7 You Are My Dream 3:19
8 Make It With You 5:25
9 Real Street 4:19
10 Long Way Home 5:45



For the recording of Real Street, singer/harmonica player Tad Robinson traveled to the birthplace of Southern soul: Memphis, Tennessee. There he teamed up with Memphis music legends, organist, Charles Hodges; bassist, Leroy Hodges; and the drummer, Howard Grimes, collectively known as the Hi Rhythm Section at Scott Bomar’s, Electraphonic Recording. The results are ten glorious tracks of blues-infused and passionate soul music. Throughout six originals and four reimagined covers, Robinson’s singing has never been so focused and fluent in the language of the blues and his subtle harmonica playing adds just the right spice to the mix.

Memphis guitarist, Joe Restivo; trumpeter, Marc Franklin; tenor saxophonist, Kirk Smothers; and current Fabulous Thunderbirds pianist, Kevin Anker round out the band on these exciting new tracks, with background vocals handled by Chicagoan, Devin B. Thompson.

From the ebullient shuffle, opener, Changes, to the poignant immediacy of George Jackson’s ballad, Search Your Heart, each song is a showpiece with the Memphis groove-makers’ interlocking parts evoking a timeless Southern soul-blues landscape made new again.

Robinson, an eight-time Blues Music Award-nominated singer, croons on the wry, self-deprecating account of the departure of his bored lover in Full Grown Woman, gets gritty and gospel-soulful on the wistful and radio-friendly, Love In The Neighborhood, and riffs and weaves his way through his joyful reworking of Roy Orbison’s, You Got It.

The Memphis veterans lay down a beautiful understated backing for Robinson’s story-telling on this collection, plucking just the right riff, chord change and color out of the Memphis air, bearing witness to their rarified status as architects of the Southern soul sound.

Real Street is an earthy, straight-from-the-gut-to-the-heart collection that fans of soul and blues music will cherish.

On Friday September 13, 2019, the Kris Barras Band will release their new album Light It Up, via Mascot Label Group/Provogue. Over the last 18 months the Kris Barras Band have become one of the hottest and fastest rising rock acts in the UK. He had stopped as an MMA fighter and self-released his 2016 debut album, he was playing pub venues to 20-50 people playing ZZ Top covers amongst originals, did a handful of blues festivals, played London only twice (as a support artist) and his aim was to get played on Planet Rock Radio. He was close to giving up on music, the next album was his one last shot. 'The Divine And Dirty' was released on Provogue on 23 March 2018. Then the ball started rolling. The Kris Barras Band have played 4 UK headline tours, supported Beth Hart, Joanne Shaw Taylor, and this led to slots with GUN, King King, The Magpie Salute and Therapy? plus Jonny Lang & Walter Trout on Provogue's Rockin' The Blues festival tour. After winning Planet Rock's Best New Band Award, Kris was invited to becoming a special guest presenter for 2 shows. If this wasn’t enough, Kris also joined Supersonic Blues Machine as lead singer/guitarist in July 2018 and toured Europe with the band and Billy F Gibbons! He features on the upcoming 'Road Chronicles: Live' album. Kris Barras - from MMA fighter to hottest rising rock act in the UK. From "wanting to be played" on radio to being a presenter. From playing ZZ Top songs in a pub to actually being in a band with Billy F Gibbons. The future for the Kris Barras Band looks very exciting!

"The vintage tones swing and punch – like early ‘60s Wanda Jackson possessing a young Joan Jett as backed by the Stray Cats. But after looking under the hood of Let’s Do This Thing, there’s much more here than a classic engine. [Kerry Pastine] delivers some next level you-know-what."
- Eric Shea - Pandora Pick of the Week
"Kerry Pastine & the Crime Scene's songs should be in Quentin Tarantino movies. There’s a fierceness in the band’s energetic live shows; the musicians clearly feed off of each other."
- Jon Solomon - Westword Feature Article 
"These folks are nasty and fun my friends... Beware, judging from what I've been hearing, they will not be Denver's little secret for long." 
- Dan Aykroyd (aka Elwood Blues) - House of Blues Radio Hour
"[Kerry Pastine] got the best response I saw all day, with people actually out on the floor and dancing. And rightly so: The energy was high and lively, and the grooves were flawless. Verdict: A group of fantastic musicians obviously having a great time at what they do... Throw them to the top of the heap of festival bands."
- Jef Otte - Westword 
"[Kerry Pastine delivers] old-school rock & roll that shouts wonderful and diverse testimonies of the human condition. [The music is a mix of] unruly garage rock, boppin' rockabilly, jumped-up blues and pointy-toe soul. Confidence-to-kill playing suits [Kerry Pastine's] whip crack vibe. This fun skirts dangerousness, but that's OK -- it's on our side. Recommended."
- DC Larson - No Depression
"Masterfully blending with the satin and kick of instruments that waste not one note, [Kerry Pastine's voice] flows effortlessly across the 12 diamond-sharp tracks. [She] is able to angle, crack and pop the songs in a way that suggests a renewal more than a retread." 
- Richard Davis - Ol' Skool Rods Magazine
"...These guys 'get it' and understand how to take a bit from the past, add bit from the present and come up with something familiar yet fresh." 
- Rick Galusha - Blueswax Ezine
"Simply put, Kerry Pastine's voice could bring the smokiest, sweatiest dive bar to its knees. She's got the swagger of [Janis] Joplin and skills of [Alanis] Morissette with a band behind her jumping effortlessly from pop to deep blues but never losing the rock energy."

Three years after the 2016 release of their award-winning CD Relentless, Montreal’s The Paul DesLauriers Band is back with their ambitious new album Bounce, set for release on May 31 on Bros Records.

Bounce was recorded during breaks from their extensive 2018 Canadian, US and European tours. The power blues-rock trio laid down 13 new songs with 12 originals including “Picked A Bad Day”, a collaboration recorded with American bluesman JP Soars in Florida and 1 cover, the Anthony "Duster" Bennett song “Jumpin' at Shadows” (popularized by Peter Green during his tenure in Fleetwood Mac).

Deeply anchored in the blues-rock idiom, Bounce is the trio’s most accomplished recording to date, led by the first-rate vocals and guitar of Paul DesLauriers, Sam Harrisson’s precise and masterful drums and newcomer Alec McElcheran on bass. The level of musical chemistry and comradery at work here is undeniable.

The Paul DesLauriers Band will be embarking on tours that will showcase their original brand of blues-rock to audiences in Germany, Switzerland and the US before they get to meet their Canadian fans on summer dates across Canada.

Later in the Fall, the band will play Palais Montcalm in Quebec City (November 21 and 22) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Deep Purple’s Concerto for Group & Orchestra with Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) and L’Orchestre Symphonique de Québec under the direction of Paul Mann.
