JOHN FOGERTY
EARNS ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE’S
HIGHEST RATING—A RARE FIVE STARS—
FOR HIS NEW ALBUM
‘WROTE A SONG FOR EVERYONE’
OUT THIS TUESDAY, MAY 28
"Welcome to guitar paradise: Fogerty nails it with a high-voltage revival of his CCR hits." – Rolling Stone
May 23, 2013 -- Rolling Stone magazine has awarded JOHN FOGERTY’s much-anticipated new album WROTE A SONG FOR EVERYONE its very highest rating—a rare 5 stars—and tags the lead review on the cover, “John Fogerty’s All-Star Revival.”
“The result is some of the best new music Fogerty has made since, well, Creedence. His singing is strong and engaged, even scalding when he goes up against Kid Rock in ‘Born on the Bayou,’ and the current state of Fogerty’s guitar playing is summed up in his shootout with country picker Brad Paisley in ‘Hot Rod Heart.’”
Fricke also notes: “Looking back at these songs, in this company, has brought out a fire and nerve in Fogerty. He sounds as renewed in these performances as the riffs and stories.”WROTE A SONG FOR EVERYONE marks the singer, songwriter and guitarist’s ninth studio solo album since disbanding Creedence Clearwater Revival. Mixed by Bob Clearmountain, it was recorded in Los Angeles and Nashville except for "Proud Mary" which was recorded in New Orleans with Allen Toussaint and the Rebirth Brass Band. FOGERTY recorded “Fortunate Son” with Foo Fighters at their 606 studio using "the" legendary Neve recording console featured in the #1 iTunes documentary Sound City. A celebration of FOGERTY’s iconic songbook, the much-anticipated album is a collection of 12 classics and deep tracks (Creedence Clearwater Revival and solo material) from his remarkable canon of hits recorded in collaboration with today’s biggest superstars from the country, pop and rock worlds, plus two brand new solo songs.On the concert front, JOHN FOGERTY is set for two festival appearances. At Interlocken, the four-day event September 5 – 8 at Oak Ridge Farm at the foot of the Blue Ridge in Central Virginia, he will perform a special set with Widespread Panic featuring his classic songs from the Creedence Clearwater Revival era. He will also perform at Zac Brown Band's Southern Ground Music & Food Festival taking place in Nashville at The Lawn at Riverfront Park on September 27 and 28.

Matt Nathanson’s ‘Last of the Great Pretenders’ out on July 16th – Video Premiere of ‘Mission Bells’ Today!
MATT NATHANSON’S EAGERLY AWAITED NEW ALBUM
LAST OF THE GREAT PRETENDERS
TO BE RELEASED JULY 16TH
FIRST SINGLE “MISSION BELLS” #12
AT TRIPLE A RADIO ONE WEEK AFTER IMPACT
HITCHCOCK THEMED “MISSION BELLS” VIDEO PREMIERE
ON VEVO TODAY
ALBUM AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW
ON ITUNES, AMAZON, AND MATTNATHANSON.COM
May 21, 2013 – Matt Nathanson’s ninth studio recording, Last of the Great Pretenders, will be released on July 16th. Beginning today, the new album is available for preorder via MattNathanson.com, iTunes, and Amazon.com. (The eerily striking cover art is shown above and tracklisting below.) Produced by Nathanson with Mike Viola and Jake Sinclair, Last of the Great Pretenders marks a dramatic progression for the acclaimed artist, who has created a richer and deeper work both musically and lyrically than any of his previous LPs – and that’s saying something considering the already rarefied level of his writing and performing. Songs like “Earthquake Weather,” “Kill The LIghts,” “Kinks Shirt,” “Sunday New York Times” and first single “Mission Bells” are precisely cinematic as Nathanson stirs the material with deftly placed pop-cultural references and vivid details drawn from his keen observations of everyday life, while topping each song with an emphatic and seductive chorus hook.
Just one week after officially impacting, the infectious "Mission Bells" is already #12 on the Triple A radio chart. Matt describes “Mission Bells” as “a love story via a street fight,” against a San Francisco backdrop; the picturesque city by the Bay serves as the locale for several songs on the new album. The video for “Mission Bells’ premieres today on Vevo. The Hitchcock inspired video pays homage to the master of suspense’s various films (Click here to view). Matt performed “Mission Bells” and previewed other songs from Last of the Great Pretenders during a string of packed performances at this year’s SXSW.
Based in San Francisco, Matt Nathanson has evolved into one of the premier songwriters and dynamic performers on the music scene today. His 2007 album Some Mad Hope (his first for Vanguard) yielded the smash single “Come On Get Higher,” which has sold more than 2 million copies to date, as well as the subsequent hits “Car Crash,” “Falling Apart” and “All We Are.” The success of Some Mad Hope earned Nathanson a coveted spot as a VH1 “You Oughta Know” artist, while also resulting in appearances on such national television shows as David Letterman, Ellen,Conan O’Brien, Leno, Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Ferguson, Dancing with the Stars, Rachael Ray and The CMA Awards to name a few. Additionally, his songs have been featured in numerous film and TV programs, including Good Morning America, NCIS, Private Practice, American Idol, X Factor,Vampire Diaries, American Pie and 90210. Modern Love, his previous studio album, debuted at#17 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart and topped the iTunes Pop Chart. It featured the hit singles “Faster” and “Run” – the latter featuring Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush. Nathanson’s legendary live shows, in which he displays a chic comedic flair, have resulted in sold-out tours across the U.S., Canada and Australia.

BARENAKED LADIES To Release New Album GRINNING STREAK June 4; Band Celebrating 25th Anniversary; Tour Launches June 17
BARENAKED LADIES TO CELEBRATE
25TH ANNIVERSARY WITH
NEW ALBUM GRINNING STREAK
ALBUM OUT JUNE 4TH ON VANGUARD RECORDS
BAND TEAMING WITH BEN FOLDS FIVE AND GUSTER FOR
2013 “LAST SUMMER ON EARTH TOUR”
TOUR LAUNCHES JUNE 17 IN DALLAS
Los Angeles, CA (May 6, 2013) – Multi-platinum pop group BARENAKED LADIES are celebrating their 25th anniversary in grand style: they just released a lyric video for “Boomerang,” the lead single off their new album GRINNING STREAK (out June 4th on Vanguard Records) and are gearing up for this year’s much-anticipated “Last Summer On Earth Tour.”
LSOE 13 sees the Ladies (guitarist/vocalist Ed Robertson, bassist/vocalist Jim Creeggan, keyboardist/vocalist Kevin Hearn and drummer/vocalist Tyler Stewart) teaming with Ben Folds Five and Guster for a hot-ticket roadshow that kicks off June 17th at the Verizon Theatre in Dallas, TX, and will hit 30 arenas and amphitheaters across the country (tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com and Livenation.com and full itinerary is below). Those who purchase tickets for “The Last Summer On Earth 2013” will receive a voucher for a download of GRINNING STREAK.
Fans that pre-order the album now can also receive special limited edition 25th anniversary collectible merch, including commemorative handmade hockey jerseys, t-shirts and posters. For more information, please visit barenakedladies.com.
Led by “Boomerang,” the songs on GRINNING STREAK unfold with the blend of immediacy, tunefulness and witty sophistication that made such BNL hits as “Pinch Me, “Brian Wilson,” “If I Had $1,000,000” and the chart-topping “One Week” modern-day classics. “Pop is a form that I love—it can be high-energy and intricate,” says Robertson of the genre the band has championed throughout the last quarter century. “When I think of pop music, I think of the Cars and Squeeze—interesting melodic rock is what I gravitate toward and what I’m always striving for. I want guitar-heavy pop/rock that’s intelligent, evocative and thought-provoking. I want it to be singable and relatable, and I want there to be other layers in there for the people who want to go deeper—because not everybody does. I’ve heard so many times, ‘I love you guys ’cause your songs are just fun and easygoing.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m glad you enjoy them, but there’s a dark underbelly that you haven’t mined.’”
Indeed, there’s much more to the Barenaked Ladies than initially meets the ear. Suck on the candy-coated surfaces of Robertson’s songs long enough and you never know what you’ll encounter in their “emotional centers,” as Robertson puts it.
He wrestled with the songs for the new album over an extended period as he plumbed the depths of his psyche in search of just those emotional centers. Along the way, Robertson experienced periods of stress, though not to the degree he’d endured while writing the material for the band’s previous studio album, 2010’s All in Good Time. That one was their first project following the departure of Steven Page, who’d founded the band with Robertson in 1988, reconfiguring the BNL as a four-piece.
“This is the second record since all of that turmoil,” Robertson notes, “but it’s still a part of what we’re going through and what informs who we are. On the last record, there were some songs that were directly about the band split, but this record is much more about the emotional rebuilding after that process. Looking back on the maelstrom of all that upheaval, I wanted to convey a sense of hope, reconciliation and healing with these songs. ‘Off His Head,’ for example, is about pushing through difficulty. There’s a double chorus at the end that I flipped, because I didn’t want it to end with, ‘Wishing you were dead.’ That’s part of being exasperated and at your wit’s end. But what I like about this song is that it says you just do it. You think it’s hopeless, but there’s a reason you’re pushing through it. The song says you can let all these things ruin you, or you can take it on the chin and stand up again.”
“Boomerang” metaphorically examines the aftermath of a breakup, but on a deeper level it recounts an impassioned interior dialogue. “It’s a really personal song that says, ‘You can be done with me, but I’m not done with you,’” Robertson explains. “For me, it’s about feeling relevant—because, as I started to approach this record, there was a period where I felt like I didn’t know what to say and I didn’t know who cared. But then I realized, y’know, I care. I like what I do, I’m a good songwriter and I’m gonna write—I’m gonna express things. So that song is about getting your confidence back—or, as one of my colleagues would say, getting your swagger back.”
Don’t miss your chance to see the band performing “Boomerang” and setlist packed with surprises and fan favorites.
