The launch date of Life With John Mayer was announced today at SiriusXM’s Next Generation Industry & Press Preview event.

The new channel, created by Mayer, is defined not by genre, but by the time of day as well as the day of the week. The new channel is a musical experience hand-selected by the guitarist and songwriter and an ever-evolving world of music built from the music he loves, along with Mayer’s classics, collaborations and never-before-heard material. The Life With John Mayer channel will be produced out of his new state-of-the-art studio in SiriusXM’s Los Angeles facility.

Featured concerts will include the radio debut of Mayer’s acclaimed July 2019 Madison Square Garden show, where he performed Continuum in its entirety, a performance that has never before been heard except by those in attendance. Listeners will also hear his February 2022 Madison Square Garden show from his Sob Rock Tour which featured Questlove.

The new channel will also feature specialty programming with multiple shows hosted by John Mayer as well as world renowned producer and DJ, Diplo, legendary music producer Don Was and others.

There’s nobody quite like John Mayer. He has emerged as a GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, celebrated songwriter, and iconic guitar player all at once. The Bridgeport, CT native introduced himself on the quintuple-platinum Room For Squares in 2001 and has earned three #1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 with the triple-platinum Heavier Things [2003], double-platinum Battle Studies [2009], and gold Born and Raised [2012]. In addition to selling over 20 million albums worldwide and gathering billions of streams to date, he has garnered seven GRAMMY® Awards, including “Song of the Year” for “Daughters,” and has earned a record seven U.S. No. 1s on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart and 25 entries on the Hot Rock Songs chart, the most for any solo artist. In 2015, Dead & Company was founded, with Mayer on lead guitar as well as vocals. Since its formation, the band has completed 10 tours, performing to more than four million fans across 235 shows, and has become a record-breaking stadium act. In addition, $13+ million has been raised to support nonprofits and environmental and social causes. In 2021, Sob Rock, Mayer’s eighth studio album, was released to critical acclaim featuring the hits “Last Train Home” and “Wild Blue.” Check Johnmayer.com for more information.

TOM JACKSON PRESENTS The Huron Carole – Angels Without Wings November 28, 2023 Rebecca Cohn Auditorium

Tom Jackson is a true Renaissance man, known for his multifaceted career as a singer-songwriter, actor, and dedicated activist. However, it’s his extraordinary philanthropic efforts that have left an indelible mark on the world. Since the 1980s, Jackson has tirelessly worked to make the world a better place, raising an astonishing estimated $250 million in cash and in-kind donations for food banks and disaster relief efforts. He has become a symbol of hope and generosity, using his talent and platform to effect change on a grand scale.

Now, Tom Jackson is set to continue his remarkable journey with an upcoming event that promises to be both heartwarming and impactful. On November 28, 2023, from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm, Jackson will take the stage at the iconic Rebecca Cohn Auditorium. The event, titled “The Huron Carole – Angels Without Wings,” is not only a night of music but a call to action. What sets this event apart is its inclusivity – with streaming access available following the live performance, Jackson ensures that people from all corners of the world can come together in support of a common cause. Tickets for the November 28 Halifax show are available now at www.dal.ca/artscentre or by calling (902) 494 3820 or 1-800-874-1669.

Produced by the non-profit Christmas & Winter Relief Association Inc., this event’s primary goal is to raise funds and awareness for the Canadian Red Cross’ Emergency Management Fund. This initiative reflects Jackson’s unwavering commitment to disaster relief and his belief in the power of collective action. “The Huron Carole – Angels Without Wings” is not just a concert; it’s a beacon of hope, a testament to the boundless compassion of one man, and a rallying cry for change. Tom Jackson’s legacy as a humanitarian, artist, and activist continues to shine brightly, inspiring us all to be angels without wings in the service of those in need.

Along with the posterity, the show demonstrates our love for community, music, and action raising money for the Canadian Red Cross and their emergency management fund. The perfect storm of love!

Tom Jackson, C.C., LL.D.

Nationally sponsored by Canada Life — the 27th year of their support — the pre-holiday concerts feature an evening of original music, sing-along tunes, and signature Christmas music from master storyteller, Tom Jackson.

Confirmed artists set to appear include Measha Brueggergosman, Andrea Menard, Beverley Mahood, Loreena McKennitt, Natalie MacMaster (remote recording), Shannon Gaye, PIQSIQ, Halifax Camerata Singers, Honour Guard for First Responders, with guest hosts from CTV/CW “Sullivan’s Crossing” cast members.

The concert will be recorded for December viewing/streaming with public access to view until January 1, 2024. Broadcast partners to be announced.

The Canadian screen legend, whose credits include North of 60, Shining Time Station, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Law & Order, Red Earth Uncovered, Outlander, and Cardinal, has equally balanced a long career in acting and music.  In 2018, he released The Essential Tom Jackson, a two-disc, 21-track retrospective, and in 2021 was compelled to pen a new song, “Lost Souls,” after the remains of 215 children were found on grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.

Since 1987 Tom has raised funds and awareness for local food banks and family service agencies via his Huron Carole and Singing for Supper Christmas concert tours. In 2020 and 2021, The Huron Carole “toured” virtually by Zoom for various agencies as they searched for creative ways to connect and remedy a dramatic loss of donors.

Also in 2020, he produced and hosted the online variety series Almighty Voices, in which artists and thought leaders delivered performances and messages to create joy, health, and dollars for Unison Benevolent Fund, which provides emergency relief services to the Canadian music community.

In 2022, Tom spent time in the Maritimes shooting a new series, “Sullivan’s Crossing” released in 2023 and available on CTV.ca and The CW network.

Appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2000, in November 2020 Tom was promoted to Companion, the highest designation within the Order. Additional honours including the 2007 Juno and Gemini humanitarian awards, Playback’s Radio & Television Hall of Fame, and the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement.

Tom Jackson was recently awarded The Order of the Red Cross in recognition of outstanding humanitarian service at home and abroad. Jackson became an official ambassador for the Red Cross during the 2013 floods in AB and has helped with the organization’s relief efforts during AB and BC wildfires, the Humboldt bus crash, the COVID-19 pandemic, and Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis, to name a few.

Jackson was also named to Calgary’s Top 7 Over 70 for continuing his philanthropic work via new music and video projects.

Legendary Rock Manager HARVEY LISBERG Book Signing November 11 Barnes & Noble Palm Desert

Legendary Rock Manager HARVEY LISBERG Book Signing November 11 Barnes & Noble Palm Desert

Harvey Lisberg, the legendary music manager who shaped the careers of some of the biggest names in the industry, has penned his memoir, “I’m Into Something Good,” a captivating journey through the golden era of music. He’ll be having a book signing on November 11 at Barnes & Noble in Palm Desert, California.

The book delves into Lisberg’s unparalleled experiences and behind-the-scenes stories that defined an era. As the mastermind behind the success of iconic artists like Herman’s Hermits and 10cc, Lisberg’s book offers a unique perspective on the rise of British Invasion bands and their impact on global music culture. Revealing the trials, triumphs, and secrets of his illustrious career, “I’m Into Something Good” is a 2023 must-read for music enthusiasts and aspiring managers alike, providing a glimpse into the extraordinary life of one of the most influential figures in the music industry.

When 22-year-old accountant Harvey Lisberg heard the Beatles’ ‘Please Please Me’, he had an epiphany: he could be Manchester’s answer to Brian Epstein. He had a musical ear, a knack for numbers and a gambler’s instinct for taking a punt. Within a year he had taken local group, Herman’s Hermits, to number one with ‘I’m Into Something Good’.

Soon, Hermania was a global phenomenon. Harvey had found his vocation. In this uproarious, frank and moving autobiography, he reveals the excesses of life on the road with Herman’s Hermits; the frustration of championing unknowns Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber; the highs and lows of managing the brilliant 10cc; the utter madness of looking after snooker bad boys Alex ‘Hurricane’ Higgins and Jimmy ‘Whirlwind’ White and much, much more. Many other artists benefitted from Harvey’s guidance during this time, including Tony Christie, Barclay James Harvest, Sad Café and the Chameleons.

“I’m Into Something Good “is his account of a life that started in Salford and ended up in Palm Springs; a life in which he travelled the world, met heroes and villains, fulfilled his dreams, spent a fortune on good living, family and friends, and never took himself or his achievements too seriously.

For decades, Kim has entertained and united people through his music. Kim started his music career at age 16 and has received top industry honours including two JUNO Awards, as well as membership in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, Canada’s Walk of Fame, the Key to the City of Toronto, and will be appointed to the Order of Canada in 2024. To this day, Kim’s musical artistry is acclaimed by many who take joy in his numerous hit songs, including nine Billboard Top 40 hits such as the number one hit “Rock Me Gently” and the iconic ”Sugar, Sugar.”

Revolutionizing Music for Guitarists and Songwriters: Join the FretboardGPS Journey on Kickstarter

“My entire life, people have been asking me if something like this exists, and my answer has always been no. Until now.” Don Ross, guitar virtuoso and composer

Musicianly, LLC, the brainchild of guitarist and songwriter Scott Quillin, is excited to share the remarkable journey that led to the creation of their groundbreaking FretboardGPS app. Born out of a lifelong passion for music and a desire to empower fellow musicians, FretboardGPS is set to revolutionize the way guitarists and songwriters navigate the fretboard.

Scott Quillin’s journey as a musician began at a young age, as he vividly recalls being moved by Elton John’s “Your Song” when he was just four years old. His musical path took a significant turn in middle school when he discovered rock music and relentlessly begged his parents for a guitar. Unlike many others whose interests waned with time, Scott’s determination was unwavering. He insisted that a guitar was all he wanted, and on a magical Christmas morning just days after his 14th birthday, he received a Peavey T-15, complete with an integrated amp.

Scott’s dedication to mastering the guitar led him to immerse himself in perfecting technique, phrasing, and developing his unique style. His early “instructors” were legendary guitarists like Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi, Eddie Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Akira Takasaki. Over time, he began writing his own music and honing his improvisation skills, earning a reputation among his peers as an innovative guitarist.

In 2010, Scott and a friend embarked on songwriting sessions, but their contrasting guitar skills and approaches hindered their creative flow. This challenge inspired Scott to develop a solution that would instantly display chord possibilities based on entered notes within a particular scale. Thus, the concept of FretboardGPS was born.

As Scott and his friend continued to refine the app, they realized the importance of making the user experience intuitive, ensuring that musicians of all levels could harness its power. In parallel, Scott initiated the “AltTunings Project” on YouTube in 2016, using his mastery of FretboardGPS to explore and create music in various tunings. His efforts received tremendous praise from fellow guitarists and musicians.

Buoyed by the positive feedback, Scott decided to shift his focus back to developing a suite of music apps enabling guitar players, songwriters, and educators to interact with the data themselves, leading to the birth of Musicianly, LLC in 2021. During this period, Scott solicited valuable feedback from select musicians and guitar players, including award-winning songwriter and composer Don Ross. Don generously volunteered his assistance to ensure the data is both academically sound and meets the requirements necessary for use in an academic setting. He stayed on as a consultant and is still an invaluable member of the team.

After three years of dedicated app development, Musicianly is now prepared to introduce the FretboardGPS app to the world. To make the mobile version a reality, they have launched a Kickstarter to bring their idea and concept to the masses.

To fund these ongoing needs, Musicianly is launching products such as the “Mastering the Fretboard” book series, Composer Cards, and desktop web experiences, all designed to unlock new horizons in music and songwriting. With your support, they can continue their mission to revolutionize music for guitarists and songwriters.

“We are thrilled to share our journey with the world, and we are excited to take this final step with your support. Together, we can bring the FretboardGPS app and other innovative products to musicians everywhere,” said Scott Quillin, founder of Musicianly, LLC.
