Treating Myself To All Things Music

0

Sponsored advertising content: I’ve received compensation from TD. All opinions in this post are my own.

Anyone who knows me personally or through social media knows my biggest passion can be summed up in one word: Music. Love of music has been the basis for almost everything I’ve ever done, both workwise and for kicks, and it just never gets old. Whether I am promoting a band as a PR professional, guesting on a TV show or just hanging out and posting online (which, let’s face it, I’ve been known to do a fair bit 🙂 music is my subject, my thumbprint.

So, when I found out about the TD Cash Back Visa Infinite* Card, I was super-intrigued – A guilt-free way to treat myself? As in, I can redeem Cash Back Dollars on my card ANYTIME (You must have accumulated a minimum of $25 in Cash Back Dollars to redeem)… I can treat myself to life’s little luxuries, like music albums, downloads and band merchandise.

I needed to know more. Here’s what I found.

The cashback cards I’ve experienced in the past only allow cardholders to access their cash rebate once a year. Not only does the TD Cash Back Visa Infinite* Card allow Cardholders to redeem Cash Back Dollars on their card anytime, but they have a Welcome Bonus whereby new Cardholders can earn 6% cash back on all purchases for the first three months, up to a total spend of $3,500. That’s a potential maximum cash back of $210. (Small print: Conditions apply. Offer ends December 3, 2017. You must have earned a minimum of $25 in Cash Back Dollars to redeem.)

Think about that for a sec. Having the luxury to earn Cash Back Dollars on your Card, just for purchasing everyday items using the TD Cash Back Visa Infinite* Card.
I recently charted an exciting new path, so, the idea of spoiling myself in any way is unlikely. That’s another reason why the TD Cash Back Visa Infinite* Card is a great fit for me. It allows me to treat myself to life’s little luxuries.

Really, you owe it to yourself to learn more about the TD Cash Back Visa Infinite* Card and find out how you can apply. I’m totally psyched that I did. See you in the front row!

On the heels of a once-in-a-lifetime Wembley Stadium show and a European tour in 2017, Jeff Lynne’s ELO announces its first North American tour in 30 plus years produced by Live Nation. Jeff Lynne’s last extensive U.S. tour with ELO was in 1981.

Of the tour, Jeff Lynne says, “Our Audiences are amazing. It’s like they’re in the group. We can’t wait to play for them again.” The tour will hit 10 cities, starting in Oakland, CA at Oracle Arena before wrapping in Philadelphia, PA at Wells Fargo Center. See below for full tour routing.

Foo Fighters Are Curating And Performing At CALJAM18 In California

0

Foo Fighters have confirmed that they will headline and curate the eagerly anticipated second incarnation of the rock n roll marathon that LA Weekly hailed as “a celebration of music and life,” the Los Angeles Times cited as a reminder to fans “why they come to music festivals: to feel connection and catharsis,” and Forbes reported “the response from fans inside and after was one of elation and joy at another great rock and roll party from the band who does them better than anyone else today”:

CALJAM18 will take place October 5 and 6, 2018, returning to Glen Helen Regional Park and Amphitheater for another Friday night camping party followed by another Saturday 12-hour rock extravaganza: More fun, food, sun and sweat, more guitars, and even more good times.

Zac Brown, Ben Simonetti And Niko Moon’s Sir Rosevelt Unveil Debut Self-Titled Album Arriving December 15

0

GRAMMY Award-winning recording artist Zac Brown teams with songwriter Niko Moon and producer Ben Simonetti to craft an extraordinary new Southern pop outfit, Sir Rosevelt. The trio’s debut 11-track self-titled album arrives to all music retailers and streaming services on Friday, December 15th.

“Sir Rosevelt” is available for pre-order beginning today, joined by an instant-grat download of a brand new track, “Something ‘Bout You” co-produced by 4x GRAMMY® Award-winner Timbaland (Missy Elliott, Justin Timberlake) – and accompanied by a colorful new lyric video:

Sir Rosevelt’s debut single “Sunday Finest,” co-written with 10x GRAMMY Award-winner Pharrell Williams earlier this year, was also joined by a spectacular companion visual – WATCH HERE – directed by Diego Pernia (who previously collaborated with Brown on the acclaimed “Remedy – A Zac Brown Band Film”) and praised by Rolling Stone as “an ode to the relentless pursuit of hedonism” that “recalls the glorious opulence of The Great Gatsby’s Roaring Twenties.”

Sir Rosevelt followed the release of “Sunday Finest” with their first-ever network TV live performance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! The appearance saw electrifying renditions of “Sunday Finest” and the upcoming album track, “Hurricane.” In addition, “Sunday Finest” was featured throughout TNT and TBS’ hugely rated coverage of the 2017 NBA All-Star Game.

Sir Rosevelt will celebrate the release of their debut self-titled album “Sir Rosevelt” with a much anticipated performance at CBS Radio’s “An Epic New Year’s Eve Weekend,” slated for Friday, December 29th at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The show – on sale now via Ticketmaster – marks Sir Rosevelt’s first-ever U.S. live date following two prior critically-acclaimed performances earlier this year at London’s Scala and Australia’s Byron Bay Bluesfest. Additional North American live dates will be unveiled soon for 2018.

“Sir Rosevelt” sees Zac Brown (of the 3x GRAMMY Award-winning Zac Brown Band), Niko Moon and Ben Simonetti uniting as Sir Rosevelt to create a thoroughly original new sound marrying pop, dance, acoustic instrumentation, and a distinctive Southern sensibility. The trio first came together as Zac Brown Band began experimenting with new sounds and recording techniques on 2015’s chart-topping fourth album, “JEKYLL + HYDE.” Inspired by the full-throttle dynamics of electronic/dance music and the elasticity of contemporary pop, Brown teamed with his friends and longtime collaborators Niko Moon (co-writer with Brown on genre-busting, multi-format #1 hits like “Heavy Is The Head (feat. Chris Cornell)” and “Beautiful Drug”) and Nashville recording engineer Ben Simonetti (Foo Fighters, Blake Shelton) with a goal of creating something altogether original and idiosyncratic.

The result is an album that is both utterly unique and remarkably cohesive, melding disparate influences into an innovative, up-to-the-minute brand of Southern pop unlike anything else.
