Jon Bon Jovi Teaches Colbert To Rock; This House Is Not For Sale Tour On-Sale This Friday (1/19)

By FOCUS admin on January 17, 2018 in In The Press

Last night, Jon Bon Jovi made the first of three appearances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (1/16 guest, 1/17 musical guest, 2/22 musical guest). Among the topics – the band’s upcoming i1nduction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, their upcoming tour, new songs in February – but most importantly, Stephen asked for pointers on being a stadium-filling, Grammy winning rock star. Jon just smiled his signature grin and replied, “I go to work every day wanting to be here.” Watch the full interview here.

This morning, Jon joined Howard Stern where the pair not only made the surprise announcement that Stern will induct the band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they also premiered Bon Jovi’s upcoming new single, “When We Were Us.” Although the song isn’t set for release until February 23, the two stars famous for making their own rules decided on the fly to reveal the song. And, as Howard said, “I think you got a hit here!” Listen to the clip here.

This Friday, tickets go on sale for the spring leg of the This House Is Not For Sale Tour starting January 19 at 10 a.m. local time (except St. Paul, which will be February 16) at Ticketmaster.com and through participating venue box offices. Each online ticket purchased will include a CD of the original This House Is Not For Sale.

Reviews from the previous leg of tour prove that Bon Jovi is still on top of their game and leading the pack. Atlanta Journal-Constitution raved, “(The tour) solidifies their standing as one of rock’s most resilient acts.” Creative Loafing Tampa said, “Bon Jovi leaves 18,000 screaming, standing fans shot through the heart…” while the Los Angeles Daily News reported that “JBJ shook the stage from the start to end with energy and enthusiasm, and he kept that energy rolling with a voice in tip top shape…” The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said “Bon Jovi doesn’t miss a beat…” and the Toronto Sun enthused, “It was anthemic Bon Jovi at its best…”

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

By Ashley 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.
