    February 5, 2018, Issue 587 CRS Opens With Honors CRS 2018 kicked off this afternoon with laughs, tears and honors. Sony’s Cam led the Opening Ceremonies performing the national anthem alongside the USMC Color Guard. Nashville Mayor Megan Barry welcomed attendees to Music City, con- gratulating CRS on the biggest attendance record in 15 years. As reported in this afternoon’s Breaking News, Barry’s speech was followed by the announcement of the 2018 Country Radio Hall of Fame inductees, who will be honored this June. Country Radio Hall of Famer and Red Cross volunteer Dan Halyburton was rec- ognized with the Tom Rivers Award for his generous contributions. Dierks Bentley was also honored with the Artist Humanitarian Award for his charitable work. More on the CRS kickoff and what’s ahead in Tuesday’s edition of the Daily Buzz.

  • NEW RELEASE for the Week of Feb. 5, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now!
    NEW RELEASE for the week of Feb. 5, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now! FLOCK OF DIMES "Head Of Roses" (SUB POP) SP1405 CD/ LP FLOCK OF DIMES "Head Of Roses (LOSER (SUB POP) SP1405LOSER LP edition-coloured vinyl)" April 2 street date. On her second full-length record, "Head of Roses", Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak) follows a winding thread of intuition into the unknown and into healing, led by gut feelings and the near-spiritual experience of visceral songwriting. The result is a combination of Wasner's ability to embrace new levels of vulnerability, honesty and openness, with the self-assuredness that comes with a decade-plus career as a songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and prolific collaborator. Simply put, "Head of Roses" is a record about heartbreak, but from a dualistic perspective. It's about the experience of having one's heart broken and breaking someone else's heart at the same time. But beyond that, it's about having to reconcile the experience of one's own pain with the understanding that it's impossible to go through life without being the source of great pain for someone else. Carefully curated and culled from the depths of Wasner's heartbreak and healing, it's deeply, intensely personal. KING GIZZARD & THE "Teenage Gizzard (pink (ORG MUSIC) ORGM2210 LP LIZARD WIZA splater on yellow transparent" April 2 street date. "Teenage Gizzard" is a compilation album featuring early recordings of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, recorded between 2010 and 2011 in Victoria, Australia.

    PRESS RELEASE July 17, 2014 Contact: Camille Cintrón, Manager, Public Relations 703.255.4096 or [email protected] High-resolution images of the artists listed are available on Wolf Trap’s website: wolftrap.org/Media_and_Newsroom/Photos_for_Publication.aspx Wolf Trap Presents Pat Metheny Unity Group and Bruce Hornsby, Classic Albums Live: Pink Floyd—Dark Side of the Moon, Jim Gaffigan, Gavin DeGraw and Matt Nathanson with Andrew McMahon All Shows at the Filene Center at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, 1551 Trap Road, Vienna, Virginia 22182 Pat Metheny Unity Group Bruce Hornsby With Sonny Emory Campfire Tour 2014 Wednesday, August 6, 2014 at 7:30 pm The Grammy-winning Pat Metheny Unity Group will headline alongside fellow jazz legend Bruce Hornsby for the collaborative Campfire Tour 2014. The show will also feature multiplatinum studio drummer Sonny Emory. In 2012 composer Pat Metheny brought together elite musicians to form the Unity Group, or what he calls a “Technicolor, IMAX version” of a jazz band. Metheny plays the guitar and guitar synthesizer for the group, while Ben Williams handles bass guitar, Chris Potter works the saxophone, Antonio Sanchez provides drums, and Giulio Carmassi is a triple threat on keyboard, trumpet, and vocals. The quintet’s eponymous debut album won the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, bringing Metheny’s Grammy count to 20. The group’s 2014 release, Kin (←→), hit No. 1 on the Billboard Jazz chart and No. 50 on the Billboard 200. AllMusic.com particularly praises Metheny’s musicality on this release, saying it gives the album “an almost hummable sense of melodic euphoria.” Video: Pat Metheny Unity Group – Kin (←→) Preview Virginia native pianist Bruce Hornsby returns to his roots to serenade audiences with a folk and jazz- infused set.
