FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 11, 2012 WALTER TROUT RETURNS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 11, 2012 WALTER TROUT RETURNS WITH BLUES FOR THE MODERN DAZE VIA THE MASCOT LABEL GROUP ON APRIL 24, 2012 TROUT EXTENDS TOUR WITH 43 U.S. APPEARANCES NOW SCHEDULED Tour Kicks Off On April 25th at Belly Up Tavern In Solana Beach, CA, Features 4-Night Stand At NYC's Iridium in May, and Sees Trout Appear at 14 Festivals New York --- The Mascot Label Group will release Walter Trout's 21st album Blues For The Modern Daze on April 24. The offering displays the contemporary guitar legend returning to his hard-core blues roots, with songwriting at a creative and personal zenith. Blues For The Modern Daze is Trout’s sixth recording for Provogue Records, a division of the Mascot Label Group, and his first pure blues album in 23 years as a bandleader. Trout’s practical schooling in blues started when he arrived in Los Angeles in 1973 and got gigs behind Hooker, Big Mama Thornton, Finis Tasby, Pee Wee Crayton, Lowell Fulsom, Percy Mayfield and Joe Tex. In 1981 he joined the remaining original members of Canned Heat. But the real turning point was his tenure with British blues giant John Mayall. Trout became part of the Bluesbreakers’ lineage of great guitarists along with Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor. Beginning in 1984 he shared six-string duties with Coco Montoya in Mayall’s band, creating a flexible guitar dynamic that helped provide the Bluesbreakers a renaissance that returned the group to the apex of the international blues touring circuit. Trout began leading his own group in 1989 and cut his debut album Life In the Jungle, rapidly becoming a star in Europe. His first Stateside release, 1998's critically heralded Walter Trout, made him start down the road towards becoming the fixture of the American blues-rock scene that he is today. Trout's travels over the past 39 years, and his wide appreciation of his predecessors, yield a significant influence to Blues For The Modern Daze . Trout shares, "My main inspiration for this album was the country bluesman Blind Willie Johnson, an early blues innovator who recorded such timeless gospel informed blues numbers as 'Soul of a Man' and 'Nobody’s Fault But Mine.' His music is so beautiful, primal, direct and deeply spiritual that I wanted to feel it at my back when we were cutting these songs.” He continues, "This album captures my interest in exploring a side of my music that’s rooted in my first musical love, and it reveals something about me too. It sums up the thoughts and attitudes of somebody who is getting a little older and is feeling a little like he’s a part of another era, with different values and a different perspective on life than often seem to be prevalent today. And I stand behind those values, like compassion, authenticity and honesty, as strongly as I stand behind my music.” Blues for the Modern Daze was recorded at Entourage Studios in North Hollywood, California, with Trout and engineer Eric Corne producing. It’s the fifth time Trout has collaborated with Corne, who contributed to the arrangements and sonic palette of the songs that Trout wrote and demoed on acoustic guitar during the year before the sessions.

Working with her on this album for the last year has been a labor of love for both of us.

  • Bluesroute Helmond 2018
    BLUESROUTE HELMOND 2018 VOORWOORD Voor de 8e keer staat het centrum van Helmond eind oktober 2018 weer compleet in het teken van de Bluesroute Helmond! Vele bluesliefhebbers hebben reikhalzend uitgekeken naar één van de mooiste bluesfestivals die de Benelux rijk is. Dit jaar staat een record aantal nationale en internationale bluesacts geprogrammeerd die allemaal aan de hoge standaard van de organisatie voldoen. Er staat bekende namen op de podia, maar zeker zo leuk zijn de onbekende namen. Daarin steekt de organisatie het meeste werk en het resultaat is dan ook in een woord samen te vatten: “TOPKWALITEIT!”. En dat allemaal gratis! Vierendertig bands treden op dit jaar op Bluesroute Helmond. Deze bands komen uit Helmond, de regio, uit Nederland, de Benelux, Frankrijk en de Verenigde Staten. Elk jaar zie je ook een aantal bands op herhaling, al dan niet onder een andere naam of met een andere samenstelling. Dit aantal is bijzonder klein dit jaar. Dit jaar kreeg de organisatie aanmeldingen om te spelen van bands van over heel de wereld, meer als ooit! Heel logisch omdat dit evenement al jaren lang geen lokaal festivalletje meer is, maar meer en meer een toonaangevend festival van formaat is. In het Bluesroute-boekje wordt elke band en elke locatie uitgebreid gepresenteerd, compleet met diverse links zodat een goed beeld (en geluid) gevormd kan worden over die band en je zodoende vooraf je eigen route kan plannen. De veranderingen ten opzichte van de vorige Bluesroute zijn niet zo groot als andere jaren. De organisatie kiest dit jaar niet perse voor groei, ‘We kiezen dit jaar voor kwaliteit boven kwantiteit’ Dit blijkt ook uit de enige opmerking die hardnekkig de kop op blijft steken, namelijk “We konden niet alle bands zien die we graag zouden willen zien”.

  • BIO Concert Promoter 2016-2017
    CONCERT PROMOTER BIO 2016/2017 MASCOT LABEL GROUP/PROVOGUE Beth Hart is on fire. Right now, the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter is riding a creative tidal wave, firing out acclaimed albums, hooking up with the biggest names in music and rocking the house each night with that celebrated burnt-honey voice. In 2016, the headline news is Beth’s latest album, Fire On The Floor (out 14 October 2016 (Europe / Australia / New Zealand) and 3 February 2017 (US / CanaDa) on Provogue/Mascot Label Group): a release that even this fiercely self-critical artist describes as “pretty frickin’ good”. But let’s not forget the backstory that brought her here… The Blues Magazine once dubbed Beth Hart “the ultimate female rock star”, and there’s no doubt that her two-decade career is the ultimate thrill-ride. Born in Los Angeles, she released a fistful of hit albums through the ’90s, then reignited in the post-millennium as both a solo artist and the head-turning vocalist for guitar heroes like Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Beck, BuDDy Guy and Slash. “Extraordinary,” wrote The Times of her once-a-generation voicebox, while The Guardian praised her “daring, brooding and angry” performances. It’s no wonder she’s been nominated for three Blues Music Awards. But it’s in recent times that Beth has truly blossomed. In April 2015, she released Better Than Home: a critical and commercial smash that toppeD the iTunes Blues Chart and was crowneD #4 Best Blues Album Of The Year by Mojo magazine. The release led her to fill AmsterDam’s Heineken Music Hall with 5,500 fans (her largest club show to Date).
