The Revamped Fleetwood Mac announce North American Tour

Music News- Fleetwood Mac have announced a huge North American tour, with shows from October 2018 through April 2019. The band recently parted ways with longtime guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. His replacements, former Tom Petty guitarist Mike Campbell and Crowded House’s Neil Finn join the roster of Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, and John and Christine McVie. Find the full itinerary below.

Speaking about Buckingham to Rolling Stone, Stevie Nicks said, “Our relationship has always been volatile. We were never married, but we might as well have been. Some couples get divorced after 40 years. They break their kids’ hearts and destroy everyone around them because it’s just hard. This is sad for me, but I want the next 10 years of my life to be really fun and happy. I want to get up every day and dance around my apartment and smile and say, ‘Thank God for this amazing life.’”

Mick Fleetwood added, “Words like ‘fired’ are ugly references as far as I’m concerned. Not to hedge around, but we arrived at the impasse of hitting a brick wall. This was not a happy situation for us in terms of the logistics of a functioning band. To that purpose, we made a decision that we could not go on with him. Majority rules in term of what we need to do as a band and go forward.”

In a press release, the group said, “We are thrilled to welcome the musical talents of the caliber of Mike Campbell and Neil Finn into the Mac family. With Mike and Neil, we’ll be performing all the hits that the fans love, plus we’ll be surprising our audiences with some tracks from our historic catalogue of songs. Fleetwood Mac has always been a creative evolution. We look forward to honoring that spirit on this upcoming tour.”

Traveller recently announces their debut album 'Western Movies", out May 4th on Refuge Foundation for the Arts

Music News- Traveller recently announced their debut album, Western Movies, out May 4th on Refuge Foundation for the Arts. The band also revealed "Hummingbird," "a humoresque confection with a deep and compassionate heart," said NPR who debuted the track. (listen below) Traveller is comprised of Robert Ellis, Cory Chisel and Jonny Fritz, "a trio with a combined discography that stands as one of the most illustrious in 21st-century Americana music. Fritz has been called a logical heir to country's great wit Roger Miller; Chisel is a poet of the North who's collaborated with Rosanne Cash and Rodney Crowell; Ellis has pulled apart the Gordian knot of roots music clichés on albums as inventive as they are emotionally powerful," said NPR. Traveller will head out on a U.S. tour beginning on the album's release day.

Longtime friends and well-respected solo artists, Robert Ellis and Jonny Fritz had been writing together for quite some time when they got the hair-brained idea to head to India to write a "country" record. The two set off on their epic journey but after an ill-advised exuberant jump into the Ganges, Ellis got ill and nearly died. Though Ellis was fortunate enough to kill the bug that had overtaken his body, the idea of this collaboration didn't die. A few months later they roped in Cory Chisel, a GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter and friend who had a recording studio in the Wisconsin monastery he ran as an arts space. Chisel rounded out the group and within two weeks the trio wrote an album full of songs and made their debut at the Newport Folk Festival, also playing Stagecoach and ACL that year.

CHVRCHES SHARE VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE, "Miracle"

Music News- CHVRCHES have debuted the video for new single “Miracle,” the latest song released from their eagerly anticipated upcoming album, Love Is Dead, out May 25th on Glassnote Records. Directed by Warren Fu (Daft Punk, The Weeknd, The Strokes, The Killers) and shot in one take, the short is CHVRCHES’ most striking video to date. Watch video below.

“We’re all huge fans of Warren’s work and were so excited when he agreed to be the creative director on this record,” says Lauren Mayberry. “We met him when he directed the video for our song Clearest Blue and it’s so cool to see the world you imagined come to life through his work.”

Buy / Stream ‘Miracle’: https://CHVRCHES.lnk.to/Miracle

Preorder Love Is Dead : https://CHVRCHES.lnk.to/LoveIsDead

“Miracle” was released earlier this month, and has been acclaimed as a “ colossal ” (Rolling Stone) and an epic, near-EDM rager to cherish” (Billboard) . The song was produced by Steve Mac (Ed Sheeran / ‘Shape Of You’). On working with the mega-producer, the band says: “Miracle is the only song from Love Is Dead that we didn’t write and record in the States, instead producing it in London with Steve Mac. Steve is such an intuitive writer with such a killer ear for melody and working with him felt very easy and natural. He makes space for everyone in the room and really pushes people to try things and go outside of their comfort zone, in a good way.”

The track is available to stream and download now, and like lead single “Get Out”, as well as “My Enemy” feature The National’s Matt Berninger and “Never Say Die” is available at no charge to those who have pre-ordered Love Is Dead .

CHVRCHES are Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty. Love Is Dead is the band’s third album, following their debut The Bones of What You Believe (2013) and its critically acclaimed follow up Every Open Eye (2015). With the soaring success of their first two albums propelling CHVRCHES into new worlds of fame and acclaim, Love Is Dead is at times euphoric and others bittersweet. It is an album about growing up and“coming to terms with the fact that there are great things in the world and there are awful things in the world and that you can’t get one without the other,” says Mayberry.

For the first time in their career, Love Is Dead sees CHVRCHES welcome outside influences, with 2017 and 2018 GRAMMY Producer of the Year Greg Kurstin co-producing nine tracks, while BRIT Award Producer of the Year 2018 Steve Mac also produces “Miracle”.

Lynyrd Skynyrd to play final concert at Jacksonville Jaguars' stadium

Music News- The southern rockers of Jacksonville, Lynyrd Skynyrd announced plans to come home to play their final concert this September. The band's Johnny Van Zant and Rickey Medlocke took the stage at the Jaguars' annual State of the Franchise presentation, saying they were both born and raised in Jacksonville and would be proud to play their final concert in their home town.

"This is a dream come true for the Lynyrd Skynyrd band," Van Zant said. "We're going to rock the house here."

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, whose legacy began in Jacksonville over 40 years ago, announced in January that they would be kicking off their final tour on May 4 in West Palm Beach.

The final stop on that tour will now be September 2 at what will then be TIAA Bank Field, the Jacksonville Jaguars announced.

Walking outside the stadium after the big announcement Thursday, Van Zant and Medlocke enjoyed a special moment when they saw their concert flyer posted on the jumbo stadium South End Zone scoreboard.

"It can’t get any better than that for it to be able to culminate here with a celebration like that; it’s going to be great," Medlocke said.

The concert, which will be the first at the stadium since 2015, will also feature Kid Rock and Jason Aldean, along with other "special guests" to be announced later. Van Zant said the acts will all be a mix of country and rock, because "that's what Lynyrd Skynyrd is all about."

In addition to performances, the all-day, all-night event will also include food trucks, games and more.

Original band member Gary Rossington joined by Van Zant, Medlocke, Mark “Sparky” Matejka, Michael Cartellone, Keith Christopher, Peter Keys, Dale Krantz Rossington and Carol Chase are ready to rock their hometown of Jacksonville.

“We are very excited to have friends Jason Aldean and Kid Rock join us in our hometown of Jacksonville,” said Rossington. “Playing where the band got its start all those years ago is always special but having these guys with us makes it even sweeter. We can’t wait to rock EverBank Field!”

Medlocke said he and Van Zant have talked about getting a chance to finally go to some of the team's games now that things are winding down for the band and they won't be touring after September.

“My brother and Gary and Alan Collins started this band a long time ago,” Van Zant said. “We are on our farewell tour. It’s time to wrap it up. To be able to play Jacksonville, here, with the Jags, come on. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

Tickets for the Labor Day weekend concert, which is the final one slated for the Last of the Street Survivors Farewell Tour, go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. April 30. VIP presale access begins April 24.
