Last night, South London singer/songwriter Lola Young made her U.S. late night TV debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where she performed her hit single “Messy” and joined Jimmy on the couch to discuss her debut album This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway, collaborating with Tyler, The Creator and her upcoming Coachella performance.
Lola’s late night appearance closely follows the release of her track “Charlie” featuring Lil Yachty along with Lola’s vocal assistance on Tyler, the Creator’s track “Like Him” from his recently released new album, CHROMAKOPIA.
Lola released her much-lauded album This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway last year, which was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by friend and collaborator Solomonophic (Remi Wolf, BROCKHAMPTON, Dominic Fike). Lola’s body of work is home to her previous singles including, “Wish You Were Dead,” “Conceited” and “You Noticed,” with the album crackling with kinetic energy and lyrically fueled by rage, passion, narrative flair and comedy derision.
Armed with a phenomenal live plot for 2025, Lola will head out on her headline European run this February ahead of her sold-out hometown show at O2 Kentish Town Forum (upgraded from Brixton Electric) on March 3rd in London.
Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson will headline the 2025 edition of Railbird Music Festival, taking place May 31 and June 1 at The Infield at Red Mile in Lexington, Kentucky. The 2-Day festival will bring together over 30 artists across three stages including Riley Green, Bailey Zimmerman, The Red Clay Strays, Shaboozey, Cody Jinks, Ryan Bingham & The Texas Gentlemen, Sierra Ferrell, Treaty Oak Revival, Wyatt Flores, Blackberry Smoke, Luke Grimes, Gavin Adcock and more to the grounds of the historic horse racing track for unforgettable performances and curated bourbon experiences, celebrating the spirit of Kentucky.

Iconic guitarist and songwriter Dave Mason’s 21st album, A Shade of Blues will be available on March 21st. With a career spanning over six decades, Mason, a founding member of Traffic and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, delves deep into his blues roots on this electrifying collection. Over a decade in the making, this blues-infused masterpiece showcases Mason’s legendary artistry and collaborative spirit. The album features an impressive lineup of guest artists, including Joe Bonamassa, Michael McDonald, Mike Finnigan, Warren Hill, and more. A Shade of Blues also sets the stage for Mason’s highly anticipated 2025 tour, celebrating over five decades of electrifying performances and sold-out shows worldwide.
Blues has been a cornerstone of Mason’s music since his earliest days with Traffic, where he performed alongside Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, and Chris Wood. From penning timeless classics like “Feelin’ Alright” and “Only You Know and I Know” to collaborating with legends such as Jimi Hendrix (“All Along the Watchtower,” “Crosstown Traffic”) and The Rolling Stones (“Street Fighting Man”), Mason’s contributions to music are unparalleled.
Now, with A Shade of Blues, Mason leans further into the genre that influenced him from the start, offering 11 tracks that showcase a wide range of blues and R&B styles. The album will be released on his own Barham Productions label.
“My guitar playing has always drawn from the blues,” Mason explains. “This album leans a little more heavily into that style, but not entirely—that’s why I call it A Shade of Blues.”
Recorded with a mix of old friends and new collaborators, the album features standout moments like the traditional eight-bar blues of “Use It, Or Lose It” (set for single release on February 21st)—featuring guitar virtuoso Joe Bonamassa—and a raw, impromptu jam on Elmore James and Robert Johnson’s “Dust My Blues.”
“I wanted to find new ways to approach these songs,” Mason says, pointing to his fresh, minor-key take on “Dear Mr. Fantasy.” “I’ve always enjoyed reinterpreting the music that’s shaped my career.”
Listen to “Dear Mr. Fantasy” with Joe Bonamassa.
The album also includes “It’s Just You And Me,” with Michael McDonald on harmony vocals, piano, and organ, and a fiery rendition of “Born Under A Bad Sign,” a tribute to Albert King, one of Jimi Hendrix’s favorite guitarists.
Mason reflects on the influence of American blues on his music: “In England, we didn’t have segregated radio. We grew up listening to everything—jazz, soul, R&B, country. The blues is simple music, but it’s the feel that’s kept it alive for so long.”
A Shade of Blues stands as a testament to both the enduring power of the blues and Mason’s unwavering artistry. At 78, he continues to perform with his band, Dave Mason’s Traffic Jam, sharing his music with the next generation.
“I can’t just sit around doing nothing,” the 78-year-old laughed. “I still love playing guitar, I love being out on tour. I just want to keep this music alive for new generations.”
With A Shade of Blues, Dave Mason once again proves that by continuing to use it, you’ll never lose it. A Shade of Blues will be available on March 21st, 2025, on all streaming platforms, CD and vinyl.
After taking some time off in late 2024 to address some serious health issues, Mason is rested and recuperated and is now ready to resume his touring duties! Current itinerary is below with more dates to be announced.
Fans and critics alike hail Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Dave Mason as one of the most talented songwriters and guitarists in the world – which is why he is still performing over 100 shows a year to sold-out crowds. Best known for his soulful voice and unsurpassed guitar playing, Dave founded two bands by the age of 15: The Deep Feeling, and The Hellions. At 18, the Worcester, England native teamed up with Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, and Chris Wood to form the legendary band Traffic. At 19, Mason penned the song “Feelin’ Alright.” The rock anthem, first recorded by Traffic and then covered by dozens of other artists (including Joe Cocker), cemented both Dave’s and Traffic’s legacy, and had a profound influence over rock music that continues today. In 2024, Mason released his memoir, ‘Only You Know & I Know’.

Larkin Poe – the GRAMMY Award-winning duo of Georgia-bred, Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell – are kicking off the new year with their latest single, “Easy Love Pt. 1,” available now via their own Tricki-Woo Records. An official music video premieres today on YouTube. The track heralds Larkin Poe’s upcoming new album, Bloom, arriving Friday, January 24.
“‘Easy Love Pt. 1’ is, hands down, the truest and most detailed love song I’ve ever written,” says Rebecca Lovell. “As referenced in the lyrics: there is in fact an Eiffel Tower recreation in Paris, TX. And yes, it does have a little cowboy hat on top. We can’t wait to perform this song live, the instrumental interlude creates a trippy little 70’s rock ’n’ roll moment that we can’t wait to jam out.”
Having just appeared with Ringo Starr at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN, Larkin Poe will mark this week’s arrival of Bloom with an eagerly awaited late-night TV performance of “Easy Love Pt. 1” on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, set for tonight, January 22 (check local listings).
Bloom – which follows 2023’s GRAMMY Award-winning Blood Harmony – was first unveiled this fall following Larkin Poe’s “Duo/Group of the Year” triumph at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards. The album includes such recently released singles as the passionately mindful “Little Bit,” the contemplative opening track, “Mockingbird,” the lush, blues-soaked “If God Is A Woman,” and the genre-bending “Bluephoria,” all accompanied by official music videos streaming now at YouTube.
Presented by the Americana Music Association, Larkin Poe’s prestigious “Duo/Group of the Year” victory marked the latest achievement in what is proving a landmark 2024 for the dynamic sister duo, beginning earlier this year with their first career GRAMMY® Award, winning “Best Contemporary Blues Album” for 2023’s critically acclaimed sixth studio album, Blood Harmony. Bloom now sees Larkin Poe venturing further along on their evolving musical journey with a collection of songs that resonate with introspection, authenticity, and a profound connection to their roots in American music. Produced and largely co-written by Megan, Rebecca, and Tyler Bryant, the album marks a significant evolution for Larkin Poe, reflecting a synergy that extends beyond mere musical partnership. Already hailed for the sincerity of their songcraft, the Lovell sisters now place an even greater spotlight on their gift for storytelling, delving deep into personal narratives with universal themes of self-acceptance and individuality against a backdrop of contemporary blues and rock influences. With their distinctive blend of poetic lyricism, masterful instrumentation, and soulful harmonies, songs like “Little Bit” and the gritty punk-energized anthem “Pearls” affirm their willingness to confront current realities while staying true to their musical heritage. A triumphant celebration of the authentic self, Bloom fully cements Larkin Poe’s status as modern torchbearers of American roots music, inviting their ever-growing fan following to flourish and thrive alongside them.
“Bloom” is about finding oneself amidst the noise of the world,” says Rebecca, “about wholeheartedly embracing the flaws and idiosyncrasies that make us real. In one way or another, pretty much all of the songs on this album are about finding yourself, knowing yourself, and separating the truth of who you are from societal expectations.”
In addition, Larkin Poe have united with a pair of indisputable British rock legends for a series of remarkable collaborations. First, the duo are featured on Elvis Costello’s recently released King Of America & Other Realms box set, performing a new version of his “That’s Not The Part Of Him You’re Leaving.” Costello – along with T-Bone Burnett in their guise as The Coward Brothers – also invited Larkin Poe to join them for exclusive live performances on both CBS’s Late Show with Stephen Colbert and CBS Saturday Morning. What’s more, Larkin Poe have teamed with the one and only Ringo Starr on his just-released new album, Look Up, joining Billy Strings for a featured appearance on the new T-Bone Burnett-composition, “Rosetta.”
Long praised as one of hardest touring acts on the road today, Larkin Poe will celebrate Bloom with a very special appearance at Nashville, TN’s historic Grand Ole Opry commemorating “Opry 100” on Friday, January 24, alongside performances from The Oak Ridge Boys, and more. Saturday, January 25 will then see the duo hitting Nashville’s Grimey’s New & Preloved Music for an intimate in-store performance, album signing and “block party” featuring flash tattoos, Bloom lattes, an embroidery station, and more. From there, Larkin Poe will cross the Atlantic for a visit to London’s Rough Trade East that includes an in-store performance and album signing session as well as an additional matinee live performance, both set for Tuesday, January 28.
The epic Bloom Tour officially gets underway April 8 at St. Louis, MO’s The Hawthorn and then travels North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom through November. Highlights include headline dates at such vaunted venues as Denver, CO’s Ogden Theatre (April 11), Vancouver, BC’s Commodore Ballroom (April 19), Los Angeles, CA’s The Fonda Theatre (April 23), San Francisco, CA’s The Fillmore (April 25), Washington, DC’s 9:30 Club (May 9), New York, NY’s Irving Plaza (May 10), Minneapolis, MN’s First Avenue (May 16), and Nashville, TN’s Ryman Auditorium (May 29).

In addition, top-billed festival performances in 2025 include Del McCoury’s DelFest in Cumberland, MD (May 22-26), Floyd, VA’s FloydFest (July 23-27) and Las Vegas, NV’s Big Blues Bender (September 4-7).

† Festival Appearance
Burl and Packard of Burl’s Art have crafted something extraordinary—electric guitars faced with translucent stone. With their glowing appearance, these instruments are a true blend of art and innovation.
Who needs guitars and drums when pots, pans, and squeaky toys can create magic? Les Fo’Plafonds prove that music is everywhere with their unforgettable cover of Depeche Mode’s “Just Can’t Get Enough.”
Parlophone Records is thrilled to announce a 40th Anniversary Edition of GRAMMY Award-winning artist Tina Turner’s iconic breakthrough album, Private Dancer. Set to release on March 21, 2025, this special anniversary edition offers a stunning array of previously unreleased tracks, live performances, and footage, honoring the legacy of an artist whose music transformed the world. Private Dancer (40th Anniversary Edition) will be available as a 5CD/Blu-ray, 2CD, a 1LP Pearl vinyl, and a 1LP picture disc. Pre-order HERE.
The centerpiece of this release is the 5CD/Blu-ray set, which includes the newly upgraded 55-minute Private Dancer Tour show filmed at the NEC in Birmingham between two historic nights, March 23 and 24, 1985. Directed by David Mallet and featuring unforgettable performances with David Bowie and Bryan Adams, this landmark concert has been meticulously restored by Mallet, offering a front-row experience of Turner at her electrifying best. Alongside the live performance, the set includes five upgraded music videos, with the “Private Dancer” fully restored to HD from its original 35mm film.
Today unveils a surprise treasure from Turner’s vaults: the previously unheard track “Hot For You Baby.” Written by Australian musicians George Young and Harry Vanda and produced by John Carter, the track was recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood and was originally intended to be an album track. It was thought to be lost to time, but this thrilling discovery introduces a fresh chapter in the Private Dancer story.
Additional formats include a 2CDedition, a striking 1LPpicture disc featuring the official UK/EU cover on one side and the US cover on the other, and a limited-edition 1LP pearl vinyl with a 12×12 art card of the US album artwork. Jason Draper has written the liner notes for the 5CD/BR set with insights from Paul Cox, Holly Knight, Arlene Phillips and Martyn Ware.
Released in May 1984, Private Dancer marked Turner’s triumphant comeback, becoming a cultural phenomenon. Dubbed by American Songwriter as “one of the most charismatic comebacks of modern rock” and AllMusic as “without question,… Turner’s finest hour as a solo artist.” The 5x platinum record peaked at [#2 on the UK Albums Chart] #3 and #1 on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Turner would later bring home four GRAMMY Award wins for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for “Better Be Good To Me” and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year for the top Billboard Hot 100 track, “What’s Love Got To Do With It?”
