Neo Stereo Unleashes Anthemic New Single “Get Up Stand Up”

Australian musician Mark Cassius, known as Neo Stereo, just dropped his second release of the year—“Get Up Stand Up”. The new song is a high-energy anthem that explodes into a big anthemic feel at the first chorus.

The track is about shaking off doubt, pushing through hard times, and grabbing life by the horns. Cassius sings with power and emotion, mixing moments of vulnerability with a fearless call to action. Lyrics like “So don’t give in, to all the people’s problems / Let’s not wait, now meet your fate / Get up, stand up, I’ll let you know / Get up, stand up, welcome to the show” provide the track with both grit and heart encouraging listeners to keep fighting the fight. In his words, “This song is a call to presence and freedom, and a reminder to seize the moment.”

Over his 25+ years in music, Cassius has built a unique style that blends indie rock roots with cinematic electro sounds. His debut album Nightbird (2023) introduced that blend, and singles like “Ballerina Girl” and “Change Your Mind” showed just how far he could take it. With “Get Up Stand Up”, he ties it all together—catchy hooks, emotional lyrics, in a high energy musical vehicle.

The track was produced with Jackson Barclay at The Grove Studios and fine-tuned in his own home studio setup. “Get Up Stand Up” is a reminder to stay present, fight for your freedom, and keep moving forward, even when life feels heavy.

Danny Elfman Celebrates a Decade of ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas In Concert’ at the Hollywood Bowl

Danny Elfman, Los Angeles’ reigning Pumpkin King, will return to the Hollywood Bowl for what has become a Halloween tradition with an all-new performance of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas In Concert. Marking ten years since its first shows at the bowl in 2015, the performances, on Saturday, October 25th and Sunday, October 26th, will feature Elfman – who composed the original film music, lyrics, and score – singing the songs of Jack Skellington, the film’s beloved Pumpkin King character, as well as Barrel. This year’s cast includes Janelle Monáe as Sally, Keith David as Oogie Boogie, John Stamos as Lock, and Riki Lindhome as Shock. Elfman and the cast will be accompanied by a live orchestra while the film plays on large screens, and stunning visuals from the movie are projected on the screens and façade of the Hollywood Bowl, transporting the audience into “Halloween Town.” 

On these special shows, Danny shares, “I guess it’s safe to say this is becoming a Halloween tradition by now. That makes me so happy. I can’t wait to see all the Halloween freaks, monsters, gods and goddesses to celebrate together!”

Tickets go on sale Friday, September 5, at 10 AM PT. Presales begin Wednesday, September 3, at 10 AM through Thursday, September 4, at 11:59 PM. The presale will be available exclusively to select fans, including Disney+ Perks subscribers who can purchase tickets directly through Disney+ Perks.* For more details and to purchase, visit Ticketmaster.com. Tickets for October 25th will be available HERE, while tickets for October 26th will be available HERE.

Get to the Bowl early to enjoy the Hollywood Bowl/Halloween Town transformation with special pre-show activities including a costume contest (Tim Burton-inspired costumes are encouraged!), unique photo opportunities, and trick-or-treating stations.

This year’s performances mark the 12th & 13th time that Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas In Concert will appear at the Hollywood Bowl. There were two sold-out shows in 2015 and for three nights each in 2016, 2018, and 2023, due to overwhelming demand. Past performances have featured Catherine O’Hara, Billie Eilish, Phoebe Bridgers, Paul Reubens, Weird Al, Ken Page, and many others. 

Conductor John Mauceri, founding Director of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, will once again be leading the full orchestra and choir performing the film’s classic score and cherished songs live to picture along with the all-star cast and special guest artists performing the film’s acclaimed songs live, plus an unforgettable virtuosic interlude with violinist Sandy Cameron.

The concert is produced by Laura Engel & Richard Kraft of Kraft-Engel Productions and Alison Ahart Williams, Tim Fox & Georgina Ryder of AMP Worldwide in association with Disney Concerts.

Rosie Flores Announces New Album ‘Impossible Frontiers’ and Major Milestones at 75

Trailblazing guitarist, singer, and songwriter Rosie Flores is set to release her highly anticipated new album Impossible Frontiers on September 26, 2025 via Mule Kick Records.

Backed by her Austin band, Rosie Flores and The Talismen, the record showcases the fearless artistry and genre-crossing spirit that has defined her decades-long career. The album’s single – “Lines” will be out August 29th – streaming everywhere

This milestone year marks a string of major achievements for Flores: she will headline at AMERICANAFEST 2025, is being inducted into the San Diego Musician’s Hall of Fame, and recently received one of the nation’s highest honors in folk and traditional arts, the NEA National Heritage Fellowship.To celebrate her 75th birthday, Flores will embark on a nationwide tour through the end of the year, including a 15-show run supporting rock legend Robert Plant in November.

“I’m so excited for everybody to hear this record, Impossible Frontiers..aptly named! It was a joy working with my band’s fresh ideas – producer Ed Stasium brought some of the songs to an even higher level. Impossible Frontiers needs to be on every turntable!” – Rosie Flores

Impossible Frontiers blends Flores’ signature guitar work with an adventurous mix of rockabilly and country influences, carried by her deeply expressive songwriting. The album reflects her lifelong commitment to honoring tradition while forging new creative paths.

Rosie Flores has pioneered a path in male-dominated rock and country scenes with powerful songs she has written, sung, and performed as a respected lead guitarist. A daughter of San Antonio, this multi-award-winning artist has absorbed and helped preserve the legacies of Texas greats such as Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, T-Bone Walker, and Doug Sahm.

In the 1970s, Flores rose to prominence on the “cowpunk” circuit alongside Dwight Yoakam, Lucinda Williams, and Los Lobos. Her 1987 solo debut established her as a first-rank singer and songwriter and laid the foundation for the alt-country movement.

Today, she is spotlighted in the Country Music Hall of Fame’s exhibition Western Edge: The Roots & Reverberations of Los Angeles Country-Rock. Flores is a 2024 NEA National Heritage Fellow, and with Impossible Frontiers, she continues her lifelong journey of pushing musical boundaries while celebrating the rich traditions that shaped her artistry.

This panel is about showing how our culture and our music can help lead Canada toward a more honest and united future.”

Fest2Fall Brings Barenaked Ladies, Dwayne Gretzky, Sloan and Born Ruffians to Cambridge This September

It’s been a tough year for festivals in Canada. With high-profile cancellationslike Taste of the Danforth and Toronto Oktoberfest, many communities are feeling the loss of shared culturalexperiences. At the same time, more Canadians are choosing to travel closer to home, putting their money intodomestic tourism, and this summer’s unseasonably cool weather has left people eager for fall-themedcelebrations.That’s where Fest2Fall comes in.

This year’s lineup is headlined by Barenaked Ladies on Saturday and Toronto’s beloved Dwayne Gretzky onFriday, alongside Canadian favourites Sloan and Born Ruffians. The festival’s strength lies not in being radicallydifferent from others, but in ensuring every detail—from the music to the food to the sense of place—feels likean experience people want to support.

“Festivals across Canada are struggling, but we’ve built Fest2Fall around the things that matter most: greatCanadian music, local community, and a reason for people to gather,” says Collin McKinnon, Festival Directorand Owner of Farm League Brewing. “When you combine that with the trend of people staying closer to homeand looking for authentic experiences, it becomes something people don’t just attend—they embrace.”

Now in its third year, Fest2Fall has quickly become a highlight of the Cambridge fall calendar. Set in the heart ofDickson Park, the festival pairs live Canadian music with the flavours of the season – locally-loved dishes,regional craft beers, and a vendor alley full of Made-in-Ontario treasures. It’s an event that feels rooted in thecommunity while giving residents and visitors alike a reason to gather and celebrate together.

Sofia Camara Announces New EP ‘Hard To Love’ and First North American Headline Shows
 
Rising pop star Sofia Camara announces her upcoming new EP Hard To Love releasing on October 10 via 21 Entertainment and Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company, with international support from Mercury Records in the US and Polydor Records in the UK. Additionally, she announces the expanded Healing Hearts Tour with her first-ever North American headline shows in Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto.
 
Hard To Love is Sofia Camara’s second EP, following Was I(t) Worth It from March 2025. Hard To Love includes the previously released singles “Parking Lot” and “Girls Like You” – the latter of which has impacted Canadian radio and currently stands at #24 at Top 40 and #21 at Hot AC. It was the most added song to Canadian radio during the week of June 16, 2025 and earned airplay on BBC Radio 1 Future Pop, with the host saying it’s “super catchy” and “just the perfect pop song.”
 
Four additional songs will be added to the tracklist, which will be revealed in the coming weeks.
 
Ahead of her headline North American tour dates, Sofia takes off to Europe and the UK for The Healing Hearts Tour, making stops in London, Amsterdam, Paris, and other major markets. Tickets sold out quickly in most cities and have now been upgraded to larger venues.
 
Previously, Sofia supported Alex Warren and Dean Lewis across their respective sold-out European tours, and Shawn Desman on his Canadian tour.
 
Recognized as one of the top rising pop stars and balladists in the world today, Sofia has amassed over 100 million global audio streams across all platforms. This summer, she made her festival debut, performing for thousands of fans at Lollapalooza in Chicago and Osheaga in Montréal.
 
Stay tuned for many more exciting announcements from Sofia Camara throughout the year, including the tracklist reveal coming soon.
  The Healing Hearts Tour Dates:
October 13 – Manchester, UK – Gorilla
October 14 – Glasgow, UK – Òran Mór
October 15 – London, UK – Electric Brixton
October 17 – Birmingham, UK – O2 Academy 2
October 19 – Amsterdam, NL – Tolhuistuin
October 20 – Cologne, DE – Club Bahnhof Ehrenfeld
October 22 – Antwerpen, BE – Kavka Zappa

October 29 – Stockholm, SE – Nalen Klubb
November 4 – Brooklyn, NY – Baby’s All Right
November 6 – Toronto, ON – TD Music Hall
November 10 – Los Angeles, CA – Moroccan Lounge  
For Sofia Camara, music has always been more than its sound or the feeling that emerges when she strikes the right chord. In her world, sometimes full of uncertainty, noise, and emotion that manifests from places she’d never thought possible, it can be her anchor—the one thing that continually makes sense in a world that often doesn’t.
 
The viral success of “Who Do I Call Now? (Hellbent)”— now boasting over 44 million global streams—shattered the glass ceiling, launching her into a whirlwind of career-firsts and achievements that followed just as quickly. She took it all in stride—joining Dean Lewis and Alex Warren on their respective European & UK tours, and standing centre stage at the 2024 CFL Grey Cup, where she delivered a gripping performance of the Canadian national anthem. Her beautifully reimagined take of Nickelback’s “What Are You Waiting For?” became the official 2025 IIHF World Junior championship song, further cementing her presence on major stages. But her most defining moment yet was stepping into the spotlight on her own terms—selling out her first headline shows across Europe. As she continues writing new chapters of her story, Sofia rides the high of it all, knowing that wherever her music takes her next, the whole world will be singing along with her.

Her spellbinding ability to reimagine and interpret songs in a way that feels reinvigorating—almost like you’re listening to the song for the first time again— has earned recognition from artists like Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, Tate McRae, Gracie Abrams, and more.

With the release of her debut EP Was I(t) Worth It?, Sofia delivers a body of work that represents who she is at this stage in her career, with the hope that listeners will walk away feeling seen and understood. The multi-track debut EP is a culmination of the experiences, emotions, and stories she’s carried with her since the dream of becoming a musician became her reality, with each song reflecting a different chapter of her legacy.

Dixon adds, “Our show at the Redwood Theatre will be the first time presenting the mighty Hatch sound in an Unplugged & Acoustic format. Still intense, with the same tightness and power that all these years together have built, but with more nuance and emphasis on the songs and vocals. We have some surprises planned and we can’t wait to show off our skills in a new setting!”

Freezing Man 2026 Brings Alternative Rock Icons to Madison for Joey’s Song Benefit

Joey’s Song, the non-profit organization dedicated to supporting epilepsy research and education, is cranking up the New Year with a power-chord punch—the return of its one-of-a-kind FREEZING MAN benefit concerts, January 9 and 10, 2026 indoors at The Sylvee in Madison, Wisconsin. This intimate, star-studded winter festival will unleash two nights of unforgettable, all-star collaborations from more than 35 artists, including Grammy winners, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Top 40 hitmakers, and alternative rock icons. 

Founded 15 years ago in memory of Joey Gomoll—who tragically passed away just before his fifth birthday after a lifelong battle with Dravet Syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy—Joey’s Song is driven by the Gomoll family’s determination to transform heartbreak into hope. What began as a tribute has grown into a powerful movement funding epilepsy research, education, and family support services. Through high-profile benefit concerts that draw renowned artists from across the country, Joey’s Song has raised more than $1.75 million to date.

The FREEZING MAN 2026 roster will be stacked with alternative rock royalty and fan favorites ready to tear up the stage – many of whom have performed or appeared at Joey’s Song fundraising events over the years. Returning to melt Madison’s midwinter chill are the following alumna from last year’s inaugural edition of FREEZING MAN: Butch Vig andDuke Erikson (Garbage), Vicki and Debbi Peterson (The Bangles), Tanya Donelly and Gail Greenwood (Belly), Jon Auer (Big Star, The Posies), Rick Nielsen and Daxx Nielsen (Cheap Trick, The Nielsen Trust), Kay Hanley and Stacy Jones (Letters to Cleo), Brian Aubert and Nikki Monninger (Silversun Pickups), John Gourley and Eric Howk (Portugal. The Man), and Freedy Johnston. New to the FREEZING MAN stage this year are: Jody Stephens(Big Star), Jane Wiedlin (The Go-Gos), Steve Porcaro (Toto), Max Collins (Eve 6), Chris Collingwood (Fountains of Wayne), Hugo Burnham (Gang of Four) and Marshall Crenshaw. Butch Vig, also the iconic producer for classic albums by Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, L7 and Sonic Youth, will be the musical director and his popular covers group, The Know-It-All Boyfriends, will be the house band. Emmy Award-winning comedian Charlie Berens of “Manitowoc Minute” fame will bring his unique Wisconsin perspective to the action throughout the weekend. More special guest performers will be announced in the weeks ahead.

With an all-star yet casual, warm “supergroup” atmosphere, FREEZING MAN will be a can’t miss winter live music experience. As in previous Joey’s Song fundraisers, this edition will kick off with the “Battle of the Bands” crowd favorite—The Know-It-All Boyfriends will face off against the all-female “Know-It-All Girlfriends” in a musical showdown, performing songs chosen at random. The event culminates with a high-octane jam session where the rotating roster of musicians will play everything from chart-toppers and deep cuts to favorite songs from the artists themselves.  To solicit donations in breaks between sets, Joey’s Song founder Michael Gomoll will hold auctions for autographed musical instruments such as drumheads and cowbells, posters and VIP packages for upcoming concerts.

For this year’s installment, FREEZING MAN will span two distinct nights:

Friday, January 9 (Unplugged): An intimate, seated evening with acoustic sets and behind-the-scenes stories from the artists.

Saturday, January 10 (Electric): The signature “Freezing Man” format fans know and love—a plugged-in rock showcase featuring the Battle of the Bands, can’t-miss collaborative performances and an epic all-star jam. 

“Since our first fundraiser in 2010, Joey’s Song has hosted very memorable annual events to support epilepsy research and education, and Freezing Man is the latest—and most exciting—incarnation of that tradition,” said Michael Gomoll. “Now in its second year, Freezing Man will bring together an extraordinary mix of musicians for what promises to be our most ambitious concerts yet. It’s always been about more than music—it’s about connection, hope, and honoring Joey’s memory. We’re humbled by the artists who give their time and talent, and grateful to the fans whose support truly changes lives for families impacted by epilepsy.” 

Joey’s Song annual fundraisers have sold out since 2014, so fans are encouraged to purchase tickets early when they go on sale Friday, September 12, 2025, at 9:00 AM ET via JoeysSong.org.

General admission tickets are $45 for the January 9th show and $55 for the January 10th show.  Proceeds from the 2026 FREEZING MAN concerts will benefit CURE Epilepsy, select Epilepsy Foundation affiliates, and Wisconsin Badger Camp.

Rooted in vulnerability and cinematic emotion, Khamari’s music captures the universal pursuit of connection and meaning, cementing his place as one of R&B’s most compelling new voices.
