Canadian Matriarch of the Blues and International Hall of Fame DALANNAH GAIL BOWEN Releases New Single & Video “Somebody’s Watchin’ You”! 👀

0

Canadian matriarch of the blues and veritable force of musical nature, Vancouver-based Dalannah Gail Bowen says “Somebody’s Watchin’ You” in newly minted single and video, available now.

The release is the latest to come from her fifth and most recent studio album Looking Back, out via Quest Records and with support from Creative BC and the Province of British Columbia.

Born of African-Canadian and Cherokee heritage, Bowen’s indisputable prowess as a prolific singer, songwriter, actress, playwright, storyteller, event producer, social activist, International Memphis Blues Awards semi-finalist and International Blues Hall of Fame Master Blues Artist has secured her standing as a fixture of the blues, rock and soul music-making scene for over 40 years.

Canadian Musician Magazine says she “has a truly spectacular set of pipes, and a most commanding stage presence,” before adding that Bowen “has one of those voices that lays claim to part of your soul the first time you hear it, and never lets go.

“Smoky. Earthy. Soulful. Powerful. But it’s not just the voice, it’s what she does with it. So much emotion. So much control.”

Critics and colleagues across the board have long been ones to agree; an in-demand vocalist, she has performed alongside or opened for the likes of Led Zeppelin, B.B. King, Willie Dixon, as well as The Monkees and The Guess Who during her time with all-female group, The Feminine Touch.

Downbeat Magazine named her 2015 release Been Around A While one of the top blues albums of the year, and that year she was inducted into the International Blues Hall of Fame as a Master Artist. Releases Mamma’s Got The Blues and Them Menz were also released to international critical acclaim, and she can also be heard in a wide range of musical collaborations, including traditional drum group The Snowy Owl Drummers, tribute collective to the world-renowned gospel singer in Songs of Mahalia Jackson, and East Van Morrison, a jazz group performing selections from Van Morrison’s repertoire.

It’s efforts like these that awarded her “The Key to The City” and have December 11th officially declared “Dalannah Gail Bowen Day” by Vancouver’s Mayor and Council.

All this to say there have long been many facets of Dalannah Gail Bowen to shine, and they all share a common spark, joy, determination and fire towards her womanhood and craft.

The new release, Looking Back, takes the dynamic artist’s work in a new direction, with the music drawing more heavily from Bowen’s own and more personal story.

“The album also takes a hard look back at our world, and our cultures,” Bowen adds of the genesis behind Looking Back. “It takes a look towards our future, too.”

Produced by Michael Creber, Looking Back was recorded at Vancouver’s Monarch Studios and Warehouse Studio on classic mics seemingly designed to capture Bowen’s rich, arresting vox.

The album features a veritable who’s who of the area’s local music scene, including Jim Byrnes, The Sorjourners, Tom Keenleyside, Andreas Schuld, Chris Nordquist, Miles Hill, Olaf de Shield, Brian Newcombe, and Rob Becker.

“We could have probably called it ‘How We Spent Our Summer’,” she laughs, recalling the release’s recording process. “We more or less missed hitting the beach, but our studio tans looked great!

“And wait ‘till you hear what we put down.”

You don’t have to wait much beyond this line… Looking Back and “Somebody’s Watchin’ You” are available now.

Eight things to look forward to in 2020

0

Welcome to a brand-new decade. 2020 has started. Yes, numerically, things have changed. But this year will probably be like the rest of the years. It will have some depressing events, a lot of happy moments, and a few confusing things. However, just like the last year, it will pass, too. However, statistically speaking, there are a couple of good things that you should do in 2020. So, here we have come up with a few interesting, maybe good, and 100% noteworthy things to look forward to in 2020. Hold on tight, and take out your calendars because this one is going to be one helluva wild ride.

Summer Olympics of 2020 in Tokyo

Don’t we all love the Olympics? Jia, who offers the best digital marketing course online, says that other than Olympics, there are rarely any occasions when you and your fellow citizen get collectively happy about the beach volleyball. Good thing is that this 2020 Olympics will feature a couple of new sports too. These include sports climbing, karate, surfing, skateboarding, and baseball/softball. Further, there will be a couple of new events, too, in the categories already established. Also, when the event is happening in Tokyo, which is a culturally rich and technologically equipped country, the games will get even more festive.

New releases, new movies

Sarah, who offers online statistics homework help, says that the year 2020 is going to be another eventful year at the box office. Love superhero movies? Well, there’s going to be Wonder Woman 1984, Black Widow, and a lot more of them. Further, it is going to be another year of great franchise movies. Get all excited for Fast and Furious 9 and the all-new Fantastic Beasts movie. Top Gun: Maverick, is another movie to look forward to in this year. If you thought remakes were a 2019 thing, you are wrong. Mulan and West Side Story are all set for a fresh new look, packaging, and appeal. Sci-Fi movie Sonic the Hedgehog, is another release to look forward too, in this year.

The launch of the Yahoo! Time capsule

Remember the year 2006, when Yahoo invited its users to place digital artifacts of what and how life would be like, in a virtual time capsule? Several people actively participated in this. Yahoo received tens of thousands of works of art, pictures, videos, poems, and other submissions. The final output of the same was sent over for safekeeping to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC. If you don’t know, Yahoo did this, with an agenda of launching the capsule on their 25th Birthday, which is in 2020. Excited? Well, get set for a huge Pandora box of cringe-worthy MySpace pics and a whole range of cat memes.

Elections

Of course, you wouldn’t dare to call elections fun. But, did we say that we are including only the fun things? No! It is a list of things that you should look forward to in 2020, and elections are indeed one of them. It doesn’t matter how many ulcers the US Presidential race gives you, it is the most eventful time in the US, and will affect us all, alike. So, do what you are expected to do. Get a little more political, learn about the trends and history of voting, and get set for the November elections. It is not just the main event, but the fact that 11 states are conducting gubernatorial election this year, is what’s exciting to look forward to. Justin, who offers assignment help online, says that in just a span of a few months, the entire dynamics of the country can significantly change.

2020 Mars Mission

Another event to look forward to in 2020 is the Mars Mission. The new rover is heading for the planet either in early August or towards the end of July. Rhea, who provides research paper writing service, says that anytime the scientists get a chance to be rockstars is an event worth celebrating for the entire world. So, get ready for the 2020 rover to rock and roll on Mars. It is equipped with 2 microphones and 23 cameras, all to capture the sound and give a feed of the rover landing the red planet. Be ready to get hooked soon!

The newly opened monument in Washington

All of us know that the Washington Monument was shut for public viewing for the past three years. Ron, who help students when they ask help to write my essay, says that during this while, the monument was getting a new elevator system and a fine security screening area. It does seem like a long time, but it is required to not err when it comes to the security and safety of the citizens. Hopefully, by the end of September, the Washington Monument, will be up and running for the tourists.

Television like you have never seen or paid for in the past

Mia, who offers online CDR writing services, says that 2020 is the dawn of the revolutionary era of television. This year, you’ll see a multitude of new streaming services being launched, such as Peacock and HBO Max. Further, a lot of new shows, spinoffs and reboots are coming for you. In addition to it, the OTT platforms like Amazon Prime, Hotstar, Apple TV, and Netflix won’t linger far behind either. They are coming up with their dose of supremely entertaining content that you can invest your time in. So, get ready and make sure you have subscribed for all the freshly brewed content coming your way in 2020.

A total eclipse

Do you remember the 2017 Great American Eclipse? It was a fun time, for sure. Well, it is time to get excited all over again. Because this year, in December 2020, there will be a Great South American Eclipse taking over. A lot of eclipse watchers are excited about this event and are evening making plans to gather for the sighting in Argentina. Because of this solar eclipse, there will be brief darkness experienced on December 14. However, this isn’t it. There are a couple of more fun events happening in the space around the same time. It is believed that the Geminid meteor shower will spangle in the sky on the night of December 13. Further, a special alignment of Saturn and Jupiter is predicted for a week later. Well, that’s a lot of takeaway for a space nerd.

So, these, according to us, are the top 8 things that you should look forward to in 2020. If you have more to add to the list, do let us know in comments below.

5 Cool European Music Festivals in 2020

0

Europe is blessed with a broad selection of music festivals for fans of all genres to delve into each year, and 2020 looks set to be just as vibrant for live music lovers who want to rub shoulders with thousands of others.

Here are just a few of the coolest festival options to consider booking, across a number of exciting European destinations that are a thrill to explore in their own right.

Sweden Rock Festival 2020

It might not have the most inspiring name, but if you want to experience the monsters of rock in one of the most chilled out, beautiful countries in the world, this is the festival to visit. Headliners this year include everyone from Guns N’ Roses to Social Distortion to Opeth and beyond.

One of the perks of Sweden Rock, aside from its line-up, is the fact that there are 5 stages, each of which is large enough to accommodate a major artist. This means that set times are a little longer than at other festivals. Organisers have also added another cellular mask to the site, which means if you want to play a Swedish casino online or catch up with social media between performances, you can do so without signal dropout.

Download Festival

Download Festival is the UK’s number one hotspot for metal and punk of every variety. This year it will play host to various titans of their respective genres, including the spiky Californian sounds of The Offspring, the glitz and glamour of KISS and the pounding rhythms of System of a Down.

Of course you don’t just have to stick around the main stages and see the well known acts at Download; it has plenty more to offer, allowing you to check out up and coming alternative bands in more intimate settings. Basically, if you like your music with a bit of bite, this is definitely the coolest festival Europe has to offer.

Hellfest Open Air

If you like the sound of Download Festival but you don’t want to visit the UK for some reason, then Hellfest Open Air is the best place for metal and classic rock on the continent. Held in Clisson, France, this festival has already got some big names confirmed for 2020 including Deftones, Korn, Faith No More and Incubus.

While it is scheduled for June, there is every chance that the weather might take a turn for the worst and leave the fields of the festival churned up and muddy; but then that really only adds to the atmosphere and is something that attendees tend to thrive on.

Super Bock Super Rock

Boasting a more varied line-up than you might think from its name, this Portuguese festival actually takes place in the city of Lisbon itself, rather than forcing fans to trek out to the middle of nowhere to get their fix of fantastic music.

In 2020 you can expect to see the likes of Foals, Local Natives and even A$AP Rocky taking to the stage at Super Bock Super Rock. Just remember to pack some sunscreen and be prepared to deal with the sometimes stifling heat that Portugal is subjected to in late July.

Glastonbury

It may be one of the world’s most well known and widely attended festivals, but Glastonbury has achieved its legendary status for a reason and it still deserves to be experienced by anyone who considers themselves a musical connoisseur.

The highest profile performers around are scheduled to hit the famous Pyramid Stage this year, ranging from Taylor Swift to Sir Paul McCartney. With literally thousands of other performers and activities on offer, Glastonbury will never lose its street cred.
