Red Wanting Blue
American Rock and Roll

Hailed as ?Midwestern rock heroes? by American Songwriter, Red Wanting Blue has spent the last twenty years establishing themselves as one of the indie world?s most enduring and self-sufficient acts, notching appearances everywhere from Letterman to NPR and reaching #3 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, all while operating largely outside the confines of the traditional music industry. For their powerful new album, ?The Wanting,? the band handed production duties over to acclaimed singer/songwriter Will Hoge, who helped them create their most ambitious, fully realized collection yet. Recorded in Nashville, TN, the record draws on many of the group?s traditional strengths?indelible melodies, infectious hooks, explosive performances?even as the making of it pushed them far outside their comfort zone and forced them to take an unprecedented, nearly year-long break from touring.

Alternately triumphant and melancholic, the songs on ?The Wanting? are both muscular and nuanced, with frontman Scott Terry?s epic, heartfelt vocals soaring above the band?s gritty brand of driving rock and roll. The record opens with the rousing ?High and Dry,? a feel-good rocker that also serves as something of a mission statement for a fiercely independent group that?s as much a band as they are a family, with Terry singing, ?I want to stand on my own two feet again / And when I mess up / That?s when I hope my friends will pick me up.? On ?Ulysses,? the band channels early Phil Collins with pulsing synths and larger-than-life drums, while the tender ?Glass House? crescendos from a delicate whisper to a triumphant roar, and the dreamy ?I?ve Got A Feeling It Hurts? calls to mind the hypnotic drive of REM mixed with a touch of Jayhawks jangle.

?This is really the most collaborative album our band has ever made,? Terry says of the wide range of influences. ?It?s the first record where every member contributed to the writing, and I feel like we all matured as artists because of it.?

Over the course of ten previous studio albums, Red Wanting Blue brought their passionate, unforgettable live show to every city and town that would have them, blazing their own distinctive trail through the American heartland as they built up the kind of fanatically dedicated audiences normally reserved for arena acts. In 2016, they celebrated with a 20th anniversary retrospective album/concert film entitled ?RWB20 Live at Lincoln Theater,? which captured the band in all their glory at a sold-out hometown show in Columbus, OH.

Liz Brasher

The 27-year-old Memphis-based chanteuse?s debut,?Cold Baby? b/w ?Painted Image? (Fat Possum, 11/03/2017) is a stunning, smoldering slab of wax ? a document of love and disillusion, faith and redemption ? that instantly heralds Liz Brasher as a thrilling new voice in American roots music. Evolving her brand of spiritual soul, she found sustenance and further direction in the discographies of great Southern labels like Stax, Fame, and Goldwax. ?These songs are dark,? says Liz Brasher of the material on her debut. ?But they?re about having strength through the darkness."

SAME AS IT EVER WAS
Talking Heads Tribute

And local rock group Same As It Ever Was is all about defying expectations. "When we first started the band, it was definitely about the music first and foremost," founder Curtis Geren told The Daily Times this week. "We try to have some visually stimulating things going on. The guys wear costumes at every show, and we keep it Why the Talking Heads? Geren remembers watching the band's videos when he was a child, but it wasn't until his teenage years that he rediscovered the band's music again. "I respect the fact that they discovered a way to move the body and the mind at the same time," he said. "It's very conceptual and very profound music, and at the same time it gets people dancing. It's fun, very creative and very surreal at the same time. "At first, we were just excited to play the music itself, and anything else that might have come out of it remained to be seen. I think it was meant to be a really good ode to the Talking Heads, a really well-done tribute." What it's become is one of the most innovative groups and fun shows all over. Before forming SameAs It Ever Was, Geren researched online and found no other Talking Heads tribute bands out there. Today, he's part of an all-star ensemble that includes his brother Grant on rhythm guitar and vocals; Taylor Hiner on bass and vocals; Rusty Davidson on keyboards; Matt Aurand on percussion; Josh Hobbs on lead guitar; Steve Corrigan on drums; and local torch singer Sarah Clapp on backup vocals. The group's music alternates between faithful recreations ("Houses in Motion," "Crosseyed and Painless") to reinterpretations ("Stay Hungry.?) - The Daily Times

Radio DJ. Stand-up comedian. Best-selling author. Chart-topping recording artist. TV personality. Philanthropist. Bobby Bones has built his career on the ability to multi-task. Channeling humor, honesty, and hard work, he?s also built the largest nationally syndicated morning show in country radio - "The Bobby Bones Show.?

Of course, a full-time radio career hasn't stopped him from regularly hitting the stage alone as a stand-up comedian. It's a job he's enjoyed since his teenage years. It continues to be a welcome challenge, too, putting Bones face-to-face with his audience and eliminating his cast of on-air sidekicks.

"I'm up there alone, telling stories from my life and sharing observations from my warped mind," he says. "It's all about honesty and awkwardness. I can't react to something my partner has just said, because there's no one else up there with me. I love the challenge. I love running the risk of failing at something, because if you fail, at least it means you're trying." 2017 saw Bones launch his wildly successful ?Funny & Alone Stand Up Comedy Tour? with more than 20 sellouts across the country. In 2018, he will again hit the road bringing a brand new show - and plenty of new jokes - to his fans with the ?Bobby Bones Red Hoodie Comedy Tour.?

Hayao Miyazaki is a Japanese film director, producer, screenwriter, animator, author, and manga artist. A co-founder of Studio Ghibli, a film and animation studio, he has attained international acclaim as a masterful storyteller and as a maker of anime feature films, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest animation directors.

Miyazaki's works are characterized by the recurrence of themes such as humanity's relationship with nature and technology, the wholesomeness of natural and traditional patterns of living, the importance of art and craftsmanship, and the difficulty of maintaining a pacifist ethic in a violent world. The protagonists of his films are often strong girls or young women, and several of his films present morally ambiguous antagonists with redeeming qualities. Miyazaki's works have been highly praised and awarded; he was named a Person of Cultural Merit for outstanding cultural contributions in November 2012, and received the Academy Honorary Award for his impact on animation and cinema in November 2014. In 2002, American film critic Roger Ebert suggested that Miyazaki may be the best animation filmmaker in history, praising the depth and artistry of his films.

THE HEAVY PETS:
The Heavy Pets are a funky-ass rock and roll band from South Florida. Called "a living, breathing force of nature" by Relix magazine, they are known for their songcraft and powerhouse live performances. The band has been a mainstay on the national touring circuit for over a decade, and released its fourth full-length studio album Strawberry Mansion in February 2018.
The Pets are a seasoned live act, playing over 1200 shows across the country since their inception in 2005. The band's energetic, extended sets have been described as "full blown musical salvation" that embodies the sound of their Florida home, weaving together elements of indie rock, funk and reggae into a style that is uniquely their own.
The group became an instant Sirius radio sensation upon the release of their debut album Whale in 2007. The crossover sound on their self-titled release, named a "Top 10 Album of 2010" by The Huffington Post, propelled them into the periphery of mainstream music. 2011 saw the release of Swim Out Past The Sun, an acoustic affair featuring longtime Jerry Garcia collaborator David Grisman. Beginning in 2013, the band put out a series of three EPs recorded at the legendary Power Station studios.
The Heavy Pets are currently touring in support of their latest release, Strawberry Mansion. Recorded in South Florida over the course of 2017, the self-produced double LP is the culmination of twelve years as a full-time act, presenting the band?s writing and musical versatility in peak form. The album is the truest representation of the sound they have become known for, distilling elements of rock, funk and reggae into a style that is unmistakable.

Almost Steve

Almost Steve was started around 1995 when Jeff Buchanan and Bill Johnson teamed up with other Greenville,SC natives Brian Buchanan and Todd Verdin. Over the next couple of years they toured the Southeast and released self-produced album Green Vegas, Super City. Around 1998 the band went through some member changes with the addition of John Fitzgerald on keyboard and Aaron Lavigne on drums. Todd, Bill, and Ryan Taylor(percussion) then left to pursue other projects. About a year later, Bill returned to the band. It is during this time Almost Steve played some of it's biggest shows, including The House of Blues in Chicago, IL. They toured heavily for the next couple of years. This was a schedule which included being on the road for almost 25 days a month, traveling from Florida to Michigan. This was with the help of promoter James Lockhardt. Almost Steve returned home to change it's line-up for the last time, adding Brian Kennedy on drums. John left to pursue other projects bringing the Steves back to a four piece line up. Almost Steve continued to tour through the early part of the 2000's. This included going back to the Midwest, finally returning home to Charleston, SC in 2003. Then they began to work on their long awaited sophomore album. They worked at Fusion 5 Studios in Charleston under the direction of producer. John Yerick. Almost Steve worked for almost 6 months on this project, when reluctantly, they decided to trash the project and take an indefinite hiatus. Currently, the many members and many faces of Almost Steve still remain great friends, and occasionally you can catch the founding members Jeff and Bill playing acoustic shows around the Carolina.

Fresh on the heels of the release of her hilarious new book, THE TOTALLY UNSCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE SEARCH FOR HUMAN HAPPINESS (Algonquin Books), comedian Paula Poundstone is entertaining audiences across the country and leaving them complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter and wondering if the random people she talks to are plants. Of course, they never are.

Poundstone can be heard regularly on NPR?s #1 show, the weekly comedy news quiz Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me! When asked about Paula, Wait, Wait host Peter Sagal replied,"Paula Poundstone is the funniest human being I have ever known. Everything she does, thinks, or says is hilarious. She is made of funny. If you chopped her into bits, each piece would be hilarious. (But don?t.) Air becomes funny having been breathed by her.?

A star of several HBO specials and her own series on ABC and HBO, Poundstone voiced the character ?Forgetter Paula? in the Academy Award winning feature film INSIDE OUT. She was the first woman to share the dais with the President and perform standup comedy at the White House Correspondents Dinner. She won an American Comedy Award for Best Female Standup Comic and is included in innumerable lists, documentaries and literary compendiums noting influential standup comedians of our time. She has released three performance CD?s, her most recent, NORTH BY NORTHWEST --a double-live CD-set (HighBridge Audio).

Paula adds another medium to her impressive repertoire on July 8, 2017 when she launches her new weekly podcast ? LIVE FROM THE POUNDSTONE INSTITUTE. Joined by a live and lively audience, and her Chief of Research and fellow Wait Wait Panelist, Adam Felber, Poundstone takes on the research studies that are so odd they just beg for someone to stand up and say ?wait, what?!?The podcast is produced in association with NPR station KPCC and distributed by NPR.

On stage, Poundstone is known for her casual style, smart, observational humor, and a razor sharp spontaneous wit that has become the stuff of legend. Garrison Keillor described her as ?the bravest and best improv comic of our time.?

THE TOTALLY UNSCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE SEARCH FOR HUMAN HAPPINESS climbed to #1 on the Amazon Best Sellers list for Humor CD?s on its first day of release, and landed in #1 or in the top-10 in Humor lists in Hardcover, Kindle, Audible and CD in too many categories to mention --all the while garnering great reviews. Kirkus? one of the most notable review sources ? called the book ?A deeply revealing memoir in which the pathos doesn't kill the humor... delivers more than it promises.?NY Journal of Books: ?For readers who want a break from the current madness in the world and a good dose of Poundstone humor, this book will certainly provide.?Tony and Emmy Award-winner Lily Tomlin described the book as ?A remarkable journey. I laughed. I cried. I got another cat.?
