0

British music icon and soon to be inducted Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Bryan Ferry has announced the U.S. leg his brand new 2019 World Tour playing songs from Avalon, solo & Roxy Music hits.

Since the release of his first record with Roxy Music in 1972, Bryan Ferry has been internationally acclaimed as one of the most innovative and stylish musicians, songwriters and singers to emerge in pop and rock music. Widely regarded as the embodiment of the glamorous and romantic worlds evoked by his songs, Ferry is also lauded as an icon of sartorial and personal cool.

A former student of Fine Art, Bryan Ferry remains as involved in the visual aspects of his work as he is in the composition and performance of the music and has conceived and directed some of the most original, controversial and critically applauded album artwork of the last four decades.

Bryan Ferry is an artist and musician that possesses the rare distinction of being regarded as both classic and timelessly contemporary – an accomplishment achieved by both his recordings with Roxy Music and the range and intensity of his solo albums.

Earlier today, Tori revealed the title and cover art for her new single, “Change Your Mind,” which will be released soon. “Never Alone” (Feat.

Tori is nominated for two GRAMMY Awards – Best Gospel Performance/Song for “Never Alone” and Best Gospel Album for Hiding Place.

Produced by Franklin, a 12-time GRAMMY Award winner, Hiding Place debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart, earning more first-week streams than any gospel album in history. Hiding Place also topped Billboard’s Gospel Streaming Songs and Gospel Digital Song Sales charts plus the Apple Music Christian genre chart. The collection features guest artists Lecrae, Jonathan McReynolds and The Hamiltones.

Tori’s 2015 debut album Unbreakable Smile entered the Billboard 200 at No. 2 and contained the Gold-certified singles “Nobody Love,” “Should’ve Been Us” and “Hollow.” Hailed as an artist to watch by such publications as Rolling Stone, USA Today and SPIN, she was nominated for a GRAMMY in the Best New Artist category and received the Billboard Women in Music Breakthrough Artist award.

King Crimson Announce 50 Shows For 50th Anniversary Tour

0

As part of a series of events and releases for their 50th anniversary, King Crimson’s 2019 tour will include special concerts across three continents, including both festivals and headline shows. Since the band’s return to live performance in 2014, with critically acclaimed sell-out shows all over the world including two defining shows at the Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii, previously home to Pink Floyd, the audience has been reinvented, as much as the band itself:

With its fiftieth anniversary, it seems that the wider world is finally ready to embrace King Crimson. A process that began with Kanye West’s sampling of “21st Century Schizoid Man” for his 2010 hit “Power”, now sees their song “Starless” as the soundtrack to the opening scenes of Nicholas Cage’s new 2018 film “Mandy”.

The band’s packed three-hour shows regularly include material from twelve of their thirteen studio albums, including many of the songs from their seminal 1969 album “In The Court of the Crimson King”, described by Pete Townshend, as an “uncanny masterpiece”. The new 8-piece line-up plays many historic pieces which Crimson have never played live, as well as new arrangements of Crimson classics – “the music is new whenever it was written”. There are also new instrumentals and songs, as well as the compositions by the three drummers, Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison and Jeremy Stacey, which are a regular highlight. A unique show, where eight of the best musicians in the world play music without distraction or adornment.

“MELTDOWN” – A BluRay filmed at the band’s five sell-out shows in Mexico City in 2017, together with 3 CDs, was released in October 2018.

“COSMIKC F*KC” – an in-depth documentary of King Crimson will appear in 2019.

Twenty-eight-year-old Columbia Nashville singer/songwriter Maren Morris has quickly established herself with vocal stylings that reflect her country, folk and pop influences. She kicks off her year with the launch of a new single “Girl” and an international tour to kick off her 2019.

Morris wrote the song with Grammy-winning producer Greg Kurstin (Adele, Sia, Kelly Clarkson) and Sarah Aarons, who co-wrote the Top 5 hit “The Middle” featuring Morris, Zedd and Grey. “The Middle” is nominated for record of the year and song of the year, which goes to songwriters, at this year’s Grammy Awards on Feb. 10, and Morris was also nominated for best pop duo/group collaboration.

The ‘Girl: The World’ tour kicks off with a pair of festival dates in February — Brandi Carlile’s Girls Just Wanna Weekend destination event in Riviera Maya, Mexico on February 1st, followed by the Kaaboo Festival in the Caymans on February 15th.

Morris is lined up for festival plays in North America in the summer, including a gig at Bonnaroo, as well as Faster Horses, the LakeShake Festival, Country Jam, and the Merritt Rockin’ River Festival before she heads across the Pacific for a run in Australia and New Zealand.
