Legendary Blues Artist Robert Cray Performs One-Night Only At TPAC On Feb. 27

By on November 28, 2017 in In The Press

Legendary guitarist-songwriter and Blues Hall of Fame inductee Robert Cray will perform at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center’s James K. Polk Theater on Feb. 27.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, Dec. 1, at 10 a.m. at TPAC.org, by phone at 615-782-4040, and at the TPAC Box Office, 505 Deaderick St., in downtown Nashville.

Growing up in the northwest, Cray listened to the gospel of the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi, Bobby Bland’s soul, Jimi Hendrix’s rock guitar and the Beatles’ pop sounds. Cray brought these influences into play throughout his career, and has been bridging the lines between blues, soul and R&B for the past four decades.

The glow of a career in music began when Cray was a teen, and in 1974 it burst into flames as the Robert Cray Band came together in Eugene, Oregon. In time, Cray and his band have recorded 20 studio releases – 15 of which have been on the Billboard charts – and played bars, concert halls, festivals and arenas around the world.

The first black artist since Hendrix to rise to such levels of fame in rock music, Cray’s sensational career includes five Grammy Awards and many W.C. Handy blues awards. In 2013, Cray was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.

For his latest project, Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm, Cray traveled to Memphis with his friend, renowned Grammy Award-winning producer Steve Jordan, to make a classic soul album with Hi Rhythm, the band that helped create that sound.

Tyminski’s “Southern Gothic” Performance On CBS’ The Late Show With Stephen Colbert

By on October 24, 2017 in In The Press

Tyminski (Dan Tyminski) made his solo late-night TV debut on CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night performing the title track to his album Southern Gothic.  The haunting performance can be viewed HERE.

 

The release of Tyminski’s debut solo album led to an immediate reaction from the press and fans alike, garnering impressive remarks from Entertainment Weekly, NPR: First Listen, The New York Times, NPR: All Things Considered, and No Depression.

 

Tyminski, a Rutland, Vermont native, is a 14-time Grammy winner and one of the premier vocalists in modern acoustic music. He co-wrote Southern Gothic with top songwriters including Sarah Buxton (“Stupid Boy”), Josh Kear (“Need You Now”), Cary Barlowe (“American Honey”), Andrew Dorff (“Neon Light”), Amy Wadge (“Thinking Out Loud”) and Southern Gothic producer Jesse Frasure (“Dirt On My Boots”).

 

As a child, he was drawn to Southern singers including Jimmy Martin, Ricky Skaggs and Tony Rice and found himself not only mimicking their southern singing voices but also teaching himself how to play banjo by ear. A 25-year member of Alison Krauss’ Union Station, he is also the singing voice of George Clooney’s character in the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? for which he won two Grammy Awards including Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for the single “I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow” and Album of the Year for the soundtrack which sold over 10 million copies worldwide.

 

In 2014 after lending his vocals to Avicii’s international pop hit “Hey Brother,” which went #1 in at least 18 countries and has global streams of over 1.1 billion and downloads of 5.3 million, Tyminski began to realize that he could fit outside of his acoustic music box. With Southern Gothic, Tyminski has crafted an American quilt of music that is a melding of genres and in which the symbolism of light and dark seem to always be at odds.

Brian Owens & The Deacons of Soul To Perform At Musicians Corner Summer Concert Series On Saturday, June 3

By on May 11, 2017 in In The Press

On Saturday, June 3, 2017, national recording artist Brian Owens will perform at the 2017 Musicians Corner Summer Concert Series in Nashville’s Centennial Park. Owens and his band The Deacons of Soul (Alvin Quinn, Shaun Robinson, Rob Woodie) will take the main stage at 3:00 p.m.

 

Considered to be one of Nashville’s premiere outdoor music destinations, Musicians Corner 2017 will feature over 150 local and national artists representing all music genres, food trucks, local artisan vendors, Kidsville activities and more taking place from 5-9pm on Fridays and from 12-5pm on Saturdays in May, June, August and September.

 

While Owens is no stranger to Nashville (he’s recorded here upon numerous occasions), this will be his first concert in Music City. His music is infused with blues, classic soul, folk, country and gospel resulting in a style uniquely his own, and his songs are uplifting, hopeful and motivational — music that makes you want to move. Nashville music lovers are sure to be impressed with his vibrant and spirit-stirring performances.

 

Owens first gained worldwide attention as the lead singer with the U.S. Air Force band Sidewinder that became an internet sensation and led to national appearances on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “Entertainment Tonight,” “Fox & Friends,” at the White House, the World Series and more.

 

As a solo artist, Owens has had several national releases, including MOODS & MESSAGES, PREACH, and his most recent SOUL OF FERGUSON, which was released in February 2017. The critically acclaimed project featured Grammy-winning vocalist Michael McDonald on the debut single, “For You.”

 

Owens is currently gearing up for the launch of SOUL OF CASH  in late June. It’s the second in a series of three projects he will release this year alone. The album finds the soulful singer-songwriter breathing new life into music of legendary Johnny Cash, including classics like “Ring of Fire,” “Man in Black,” and “Walk The Line” and more.

California native and powerhouse vocalist, Lara Johnston, recently performed a full band show on April 26th at the beautiful AURORA Nashville hosted by Caroline Hobby from Nashville Insider and “The Amazing Race”.

With her soulful pop sound and a voice reminiscent of today’s music greats like Kelly Clarkson or Pink, Johnston entertained a packed audience inside the AURORA Nashville studio while streaming live to an audience around the country through the AURORA site.

Johnston, just recently off the road after a world tour as backing vocalist for the iconic Don Henley, is confident, entertaining and takes full command of the stage.

Her songs are full of soul with her own pop mixture added and inspired by her musical influences of Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and many more Motown musical greats.

This is an artist to watch and one to see live as she delivers her original tunes with such an incredibly-strong voice that very few can muster.  Certainly a standout and a cut above many young artists today as she basically delivers what can only be described as a masterclass of voice & overall performance as she takes the stage.

She is a seasoned and polished performer who should be a household name already.  Think only time will tell for this star in the making who is making a buzz in Nashville.

Watch for her new album to be released very soon.
