Born July 4th, 1965 in Chicago, he grew up in a household where he became acquainted with a veritable who's who of Chicago bluesmen. Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Mabon, Little Walter and Albert King, to name a few, would all stop by the house to visit the "old man." Coming from this environment has instilled in Lane the deepest respect for elder statesmen of the blues. "I feel blessed and fortunate, to have known all those cats, and I do not take it for granted." At the age of eight, he began playing his dad's guitar, which he wasn't supposed to do. "I would break a string and put it back in the case like he wasn't going to discover it," Lane recalls.

In an election season where refugees have become such politicized gures, where they’ve been distilled down to talking points and memes and likened to a bowl of Skittles, the Emmylou Harris-helmed benet was a humbling reminder that, above everything else, refugees are just people. They’re just people. Men, women, and children, and in the current refugee crisis, 65 million of them around the world have been displaced from their homes. This isn’t a partisan issue; it’s a humanitarian one. “You can start from a place of fear and suspicion, or you can start from a place of love and compassion,” Joey Ryan, one half of indie-folk duo the Milk Carton Kids said. “We’re all doing this to hopefully promote the latter.” People behind the slew of Facebook comments that litter the event’s posts might want to question their decisions to boycott the concert series for political reasons.

The Complete Music Distribution Checklist
Presents The Complete Music Distribution Checklist Everything You Need to Sell & Stream Your Music Online The Complete Music Distribution Checklist Everything You Need to Sell & Stream Your Music Online You only get one chance to release a new song or album, so you want to do it right. Here’s what you’ll need to properly distribute your music worldwide: 1. AN ARTIST NAME This is the name you release music under. It could be your given name, a band name, or a moniker. If you’re releasing music for the first time, Google your artist name to make sure it’s not already being used by another group or artist. 2. ANY OTHER PRIMARY OR FEATURED ARTISTS This info will be included in the metadata sent to digital music platforms, and help your music reach those other artists’ audiences. • Primary artists are the main artists on a recording. Often there is only one primary artist (for example: Ed Sheeran), but occasionally music is released with multiple primary artists listed. This is done when two or more artists that do not usually work together collaborate on an album or single (for example: Robert Plant & Alison Krauss). Multiple primary artists for a release are also referred to as “compound artists.” • Collaborators who DO work together on an ongoing basis can enter their “band name” as a single primary artist (for instance, “Brooks & Dunn” or “Simon & Garfunkel”). • “Featuring” artists are those who collaborate on specific tracks, but who should not receive primary artist billing for the release. 2 THE COMPLETE MUSIC DISTRIBUTION CHECKLIST 3.

Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

Introduction to Rock Music
A Beginner’s Guide to Rock Music By Christian Dubeau For the teachers: The purpose of this document is to teach students some basics about well-known rock musicians and commonly used instruments in rock bands. The first slide serves to teach the students about the musical alphabet (a,b,c,d,e,f,g). This slide is not essential for the student’s understanding of the document as a whole, but I have included it in case there is interest. The next few slides each give a brief background about an individual musician or band. Before explaining the information on each slide, the instructor should play an excerpt of a song by the artist on that slide. Recordings of pieces by these artists can be easily found on www.youtube.com. Here are my suggestions for songs to play: 1). Michael Jackson: Beat It 2). Bob Dylan: Blowin in the Wind 3). The Beatles: Let It Be 4). Led Zeppelin: Stairway to Heaven The last few slides show a picture of and give a brief background on different instruments that are commonly used in rock bands. Again, the instructor should show the students what each instrument sounds like before explaining the details provided on the slides. Again, I have provided some suggestions for recording to play, all of which can be found on YouTube. In each case, only an excerpt needs to be played, as some of the recordings are quite long. 1). Guitar: The Star Spangled Banner (Jimi Hendrix version) 2). Bass: Money (by Pink Floyd)-the beginning of the song 3).

The living legend shines in a sublime, career-spanning hour featuring beloved classics and new songs from his acclaimed recent album, Stranger to Stranger. The hour-long season premiere airs Saturday, October 1 at 8pm CT/9pm ET as part of ACL’s new Season 42.

Making a rare television appearance, Simon sparkles in an irresistible performance filled with career highlights from his over five-decade strong musical legacy. Backed by a world-class nine-piece band, the music legend opens an eleven-song set with selections from Graceland, his landmark 1986 album that brought African rhythms to mainstream American radio. A lifelong sonic adventurer, Simon takes viewers to Louisiana Cajun country for a joyful performance of “That Was Your Mother.” Simon also showcases new classics from 2016’s acclaimed Stranger to Stranger, his 13th solo album, including standouts “Wristband” and “The Werewolf.” Simon’s showmanship is on full display throughout as he dazzles the ACL audience with non-stop gems from his extensive catalog, including early solo hit “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard” and a stripped-down, countrified “Homeward Bound.” He dips back into his Graceland songbook for “Diamonds On the Soles Of Her Shoes,” and a show-stopping “You Can Call Me Al,” engaging the crowd in hand-clapped rhythm.
