Alan Doyle Announces New EP, Rough Side Out, Available February 14

Alan Doyle – one of Canada’s most treasured musicians – has announced the release of a brand new EP, Rough Side Out, coming February 14.

The album features the single “We Don’t Wanna Go Home” with country star Dean Brody, as well as an appearance by 3-time CCMA Female Artist of the Year winner Jess Moskaluke on the track “What the Whiskey Won’t Do.”

A few days after the EP release, Doyle will kick off a 34-date Canadian tour beginning February 19 in Moose Jaw. A full list of dates can be found below. He will be touring with his powerhouse 6-piece band and special guest Kelly Prescott.

Every ticket purchased comes with a physical copy of the EP and one dollar from each ticket sold for this show will go to support the A Dollar A Day Foundation. Every dollar collected goes directly into the hands of proven Mental Health and Addictions programs across the country, to help with such issues as the opioid crisis in Vancouver and homelessness in St. John’s.

Late last year, Doyle released the music video for “We Don’t Wanna Go Home,” which includes appearances from Brody, The Reklaws and more.

Doyle – the songwriter, producer, actor and author – is a 12-time JUNO Award nominee for his solo material and work with his iconic band Great Big Sea. In 2018, he was awarded the Order of Canada for his contributions to the musical traditions of Newfoundland and for his commitment to numerous charitable initiatives.

Sebadoh released their latest critically acclaimed album Act Surprised last year, their first in more than six years, via Dangerbird Records. The album continues the soulful collaboration that’s defined the band since 1991’s Sebadoh III and 1994’s Bakesale. Their new batch of songs reaffirms how vital the creative partnership is between members Lou Barlow, Jason Loewenstein, and Bob D’Amico. Pitchfork raved that it “sounds like the work of a band refreshingly free of baggage” while NPR Music stated “Sebadoh kicks off its fourth decade with rare cohesiveness of vision, in a string of spiky, aggressive three-minute rock songs that don’t let their jagged edges obscure the throbbing heart at their center.”

Arden will join the ranks of Canadian music icons including Alanis Morisette, Bryan Adams, Barenaked Ladies, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Joni Mitchell, k.d. lang, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, RUSH, The Guess Who, The Tragically Hip, Sarah McLachlan, Shania Twain, and many more.

At the same time, her 2X Platinum third studio album, Happy? (1997) became available on vinyl for the first time.

A versatile artist, Arden’s hit comedy series, JANN, where she stars as a fictionalized version of herself, wrapped production on its second season this past fall in Calgary. The series is set to return to CTV as part of CTV’s mid-season schedule. Arden’s podcast, THE JANN ARDEN PODCAST is available weekly on iHeartRadio Canada and everywhere podcasts are found.

Zac Brown Band Announces Summer 2020 “Roar with the Lions Tour”

Multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning, Zac Brown Band announced new Summer 2020 Tour, “Roar with the Lions Tour” presented by Polaris.

The “Roar with the Lions Tour” will feature music from the band’s entire discography mixed with a dynamic selection of genre-crossing cover songs that are a signature mark of each Zac Brown Band show. The tour is grounded in the historic characterization of the lion, depicted as a symbol of strength, courage, and loyalty. Always counted upon to bring sunshine and warmth into the lives of others, lions are fearless, treating one another with dignity and respect, bravely walking through the forests they rule. At each show, fans can expect fiery performances and a rollicking good time. Special guest Gregory Alan Isakov will join the tour May 24 through June 27 and St. Paul and The Broken Bones will open the Wrigley Field show on September 9. Please see itinerary below.

“Our summer tour is inspired by the folklore surrounding the figure of the lion. I am a Leo, and all of the guys in the band are lions,” said Zac Brown. “They exemplify strength, courage, intelligence, and loyalty, and work in tandem to defend their territory and one another. The crowd is our pride – rooted in togetherness and fiercely loyal. They always show up for each other, no matter what, just like our fans always show up for us. We can’t wait to hear you roar with us!”

Zac Brown Band is one of the most successful and consistent touring acts of the last decade and regularly claim a top spot in Pollstar’s Live75 charts. The Boston Globe praised the band’s live show saying , “[Zac Brown Band’s] blend of chops, spirit, and knowing exactly how to please a crowd has made them one of the summer concert season’s most reliable draws, always ready for a good time but also keenly aware of how to keep an audience on its toes.” Zac Brown

Band currently holds the record for most consecutive sold out shows at the historic Fenway Park and was recently named by The Boot one of the ’10 Best Country and Americana Live Acts of the 2010’s.”

The Summer 2020 “Roar with the Lions Tour” will come directly on the heels of the upcoming spring 2020 leg of “The Owl Tour,” featuring 18 stops across the United States and Canada.

Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets Announce Live At The Roundhouse Out April 17

Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music Entertainment is proud to announce the release of Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets Live At The Roundhouse, an extraordinary all-new concert recording featuring an array of Pink Floyd classics rarely performed by the band during its lifetime. The 22-track collection arrives April 17 as a double-CD/DVD package, double-vinyl, and on Blu-ray; pre-orders are available now.

Also, in collaboration with Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Entertainment, Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets Live At The Roundhouse will be coming to cinemas in selected cities worldwide for one night only on March 10, 2020. This theatrical event will also include a pre-recorded cinema exclusive Q&A with Nick Mason and the band where they will answer questions submitted by fans.

Nick Mason – founding drummer and the only constant member of Pink Floyd since their 1965 formation – united Gary Kemp (guitar, vocals), Guy Pratt (bass, vocals), Lee Harris (guitar), and Dom Beken (keyboards) as Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets in 2018, fueled in part by the desire to perform the legendary band’s pre-Dark Side of the Moon material, timeless songs which had not been played on stage in decades.

An invitation-only performance at London’s Dingwalls was met by rapturous acclaim and followed by a sold out theatre tour of North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom. The band returned in 2019, including two sold out May shows at The Roundhouse – the historic Camden venue where Pink Floyd famously played on October 15, 1966, teaming with Soft Machine for an “All Night Rave” launching the famed underground newspaper, International Times.

Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets Live At The Roundhouse captures what has proven a remarkable band all its own, infusing archetypal Floyd favorites with infectious passion, great power, and subtle restraint. From the garage band attack of “Arnold Layne” and “Vegetable Man” to the psychedelic journeying of “Interstellar Overdrive” and the mellow expanse of “Atom Heart Mother,” “Fearless,” and “Green Is the Colour,” Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets Live At The Roundhouse brings to life music rarely heard onstage since Pink Floyd’s halcyon first era, thrillingly revived for a new generation.

Mason – who last year was named as a “Prog God” at Prog Magazine‘s prestigious Progressive Music Awards in London, joining the ranks of such previously honored icons as Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Jon Anderson, Rick Wakeman, Ian Anderson, Carl Palmer, and Steve Howe – will soon return to the road with Saucerful Of Secrets for the band’s biggest tour schedule thus far. The “More Games For May Tour” – which takes its name from Pink Floyd’s milestone 1967 concert at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall – begins this April with UK dates and a European run that includes visits to Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, and the Netherlands. North American dates will be announced soon – for updates and more, please visit www.thesaucerfulofsecrets.com.
