Musicians celebrate Public Radio Music Month in April
Dozens of artists – including classic vocalist Tony Bennett, rocker Jack White, R&B singer Raphael Saadiq, contemporary chamber group Kronos Quartet, Martie Maguire and Emily Robison of Dixie Chicks and Court Yard Hounds, hip-hop stars The Roots, Czech singer Markéta Irglová, and Eddie Vedder and Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam – released a “love letter” to local public radio stations across the country today in honor of April’s Public Radio Music Month celebration.
The letter salutes public radio stations for playing music that typically goes unheard at other outlets on the radio dial – styles, songs and artists that have contributed significantly to our nation’s musical life.
The full note, released on the Public Radio Music Month Tumblr page (http://publicradiomusicmonth.org ), reads:
Dear public radio,
Thank you for taking chances. Thank you for playing our music even when – especially when – it doesn't sound like everything else on the radio dial. Thank you for inviting us into your studios and asking us intelligent questions. Thank you for introducing us to some of the most important music in our lives, music that made us who we are.
Thanks, public radio, for being who you are. Happy Public Radio Music Month.
Signers include Bob Mould, Brandi Carlile, Death Cab for Cutie, DJ Spooky, Imani Winds, Iron and Wine, Jakob Dylan, John Mayer, MGMT, M. Ward, My Morning Jacket, Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes, Tenacious D (Jack Black and Kyle Gass), THEESatisfaction and dozens of others. To see the complete list, visit Public Radio Music Month online at http://publicaradiomusicmonth.org
Public Radio Music Month celebrates the essential role that hundreds of public radio stations play in championing and preserving a diverse array of musicians and music styles for millions of listeners. Audiences look to public radio stations every day for interviews and performances, introductions to new artists, and a trusted ear and knowledge about genres such as blues, jazz, classical, bluegrass and indie rock. In this nationwide initiative, local public radio stations, musicians and fans spotlight the importance of this work and how federal funding helps make it possible.
Stations stretching from WFUV in New York City, to WFPK in Louisville, Ky., to KING in Seattle – and dozens more in scores of towns and cities in between – are highlighting special performances, interviews and musical discoveries throughout April.
Performances and events from stations all across the country will be posted at http://publicradiomusicmonth.org . Music fans can also follow @pubradiomusic on Twitter. Throughout the month, artists and stations are tweeting their support using the hashtag #PRMM.

Awaken the Empire interview on Fearless Radio March 6
Lead singer of Awaken the Empire, Damien Lawson, will be interviewed LIVE on Fearless Radio Today, March 6th, at 1pm EST. This LA-based alternative-electronica band recently premiered their newest single "Cross My Heart" exclusively on AltPress.com here: http://bit.ly/AltPressAwakenTheEmpire.
This new single is a follow-up to Awaken the Empire's widely respected, self-produced EP, "The Awakening". The band was honored to team up with famed producer, Erik Ron (Panic at the Disco, Versa Emerge, Get Scared) to create their newest release.
Awaken the Empire consists of Damien Lawson (Vocals/Guitar/Programming), Jaymz Marcc (Bass), Daryl Falconer (Drums), and Shivan Somaratne (Guitar). Possessing a sound that lies somewhere between that of a movie score and an alternative-electronica band, Awaken the Empire brings a new perspective along with their new sound. Lead singer, Damien Lawson, explains, "The general theme behind our band is that of an underground movement to encourage people to follow their dreams at all costs." Lawson elaborates on the movie score vibe of the band's sound saying "If we were a movie it would be somewhere between Donnie Darko (dark, romantic, schizophrenic, sarcastic, funny, complex) and Inception (mysterious, powerful, hidden agenda, purposely confusing)."
In early 2011, the band released the self-funded, self-produced EP "The Awakening" via iTunes accompanied by the self-produced video to the single "Know Your Place." In November 2011, the band released the video for "The Awakening" on AOL Music which was directed by the great Chad Michael Ward (Aiden, Combi-Christ). The video has already received over 170,000 views on Youtube.
For fans of The Used, 30 Seconds to Mars, and My Chemical Romance, Awaken the Empire's sound, raw talent, and drive is all you need.

Legacy of Disorder on Hard Rock Radio Live Jan. 18
Rana Freilich from fast rising metal act Legacy Of Disorder will be the live on air interview guest on Hard Rock Radio Live (http://www.hardrockradiolive.com/) at 8:00 P.M Eastern U.S time on Wednesday, January 18th, 2012. Rana will be discussing and debuting tracks from the Sterling Winfield produced Last Man Standing release.

http://www.loudcity.com/stations/hrrl/tune_in
About Legacy Of Disorder:
As evidenced by their new release, 'Last Man Standing,' it is only a matter of time until Legacy of Disorder takes their rightful spot alongside the top modern day metal acts. "We think our style fits in well with today's metal scene," explains the group's lead singer, James Robinson. "We have elements of a wide range of metal - all into one robust unit. Legacy of Disorder shows in a lot of ways the evolution of this genre, but with a unique sound that no one can replicate." Also comprised of Rana Freilich (lead guitarist), Jason Keill (bass), and Matt Thompson (drums), the band has completed work on their sophomore effort with producer Sterling Winfield, which is a certifiable ass-kicker.
With 'Last Man Standing,' metal fans worldwide will soon discover they have another ferocious power metal band on their hands.

Slacker honors Nirvana with Grunge radio
Slacker Inc. today launched Grunge: 20 Years Later in honor of the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s Nevermind. This radio station, hosted by legendary Seattle DJ Marco Collins, looks back on the grunge genre, its influencers and its legacy. Grunge: 20 Years Later is now available for free in the Slacker Spotlight section on leading smartphones, home entertainment devices and on the web at http://www.Slacker.com/Grunge20.
This station is hosted by Slacker Radio DJ Marco Collins, who had a legendary career as a DJ at “107.7 The End” in Seattle during the grunge explosion. He is known for his influence during the grunge era and he is still considered one of the great tastemakers and experts when it comes to breaking contemporary music. Marco provides unique first-person commentary and experience of the grunge movement on Slacker’s Grunge: 20 Years Later station as well as exclusive interviews from his archives with artists including Courtney Love, Chris Cornell, Mike McCready and more.
“In the 90s, I was thrown directly into a music scene destined to become a revolution,” said Marco Collins. “Outside of Seattle, the scene seemed enormous, but here in the Northwest, it was a close-knit community. Everyone knew each other. It was like a family. There were so many bands and a lot of unsung heroes. On this station, I tried not only to focus on the superstars but to highlight the seminal smaller bands.”
Marco Collins’ experiences have also been included in Mark Yarm’s “Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge” which is available today. “Everybody Loves Our Town” captures the grunge era in the words of the musicians, producers, managers, record executives, video directors, photographers, journalists, publicists, club owners, roadies, scenesters and hangers-on who lived through it.
“Marco provided invaluable insight into the scene in Seattle for the book and we are all thrilled to be launching the book in conjunction with the anniversary of Nevermind,” said Mark Yarm, author of “Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge.” “Marco is a true visionary in music and a testament to Slacker Radio’s dedication to programming expertly curated genre stations for their listeners.”
Whether listening on the web; an iPad; Windows Phone 7, Windows Mobile, Palm webOS, Android, iPhone or BlackBerry smartphones; a Slacker-enabled Sony TV or Blu-ray player (or any of the many available devices that support Slacker Radio); Slacker listeners have instant access to their favorite music, artist profiles, album reviews and album cover art.

Alice Cooper to preview new music on radio show Aug. 19
Alice Cooper’s long-awaited sequel to his 1975 classic Welcome to My Nightmare comes out on September 13, 2011, but "Coop” will preview select tracks in their entirety and offer his personal commentary on his syndicated Nights with Alice Cooper radio show on Friday, August 19th. Coop kicks off the program with the world debut of W2MN's first single, "I'll Bite Your Face Off," and he'll pick other favorites from the 14-track album, including "Runaway Train" and "I Gotta Get Outta Here" to tease and talk about during the show. W2MN, recorded with longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin (who produced the original multi-platinum Welcome To My Nightmare album in 1975), picks up right where they left off, with Alice trapped in his own warped mind.
On this special W2MN premiere edition of Nights with Alice Cooper, Alice dishes on the array of collaborators on the new CD, including original Alice Cooper members Dennis Dunaway, Michael Bruce and Neal Smith (reunited on three tracks!); global pop superstar Ke$ha, and legendary Alice and Lou Reed guitarist Steve Hunter, who is part of Alice’s current touring band and featured prominently on the first Nightmare album. During the five-hour program, the show will follow its normal format in addition to airing the world premiere tracks, and that means popular recurring NWAC segments like "Cooper's Closet Classics,” "Freaky Facts," "This Day In Rock" and boatloads of classic rock songs will be broadcast as well.
Nights with Alice Cooper debuted on January 26, 2004 and is now heard on more than 125 affiliate stations in the US, Canada, Australia and the UK. (http://zipcode.nightswithalicecooper.com/affiliates.asp ). Past interview guests have included Jeff Beck, Ozzy Osbourne, Peter Frampton, Michael Douglas, Brian Johnson from AC/DC, Ronnie James Dio, Slash, Billy Gibbons, RUSH, and dozens more.
It's been a banner couple years for Alice, with the growing success of NWAC; his long-overdue induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; Welcome 2 My Nightmare; a fashion campaign for John Varvatos; a Super Bowl ad; acting (next up: Tim Burton's Dark Shadows), plus his current 90-plus city, five continent world tour through the December 2011.

Roots Roadhouse 2 Aug. 14 in LA
Join The Grand Ole Echo’s, Julie Richmond, as she talks about Roots Roadhouse
with Kat Griffin of KCSN’s Americana Matinee this Sunday August 7th, 10am-1pm
Listen Live! http://www.kcsn.org
Congratulations to Roots Roadhouse Artists, David Serby and Eilen Jewell for making July’s Freeform Americana Radio Chart!
Just Added: Nikki Lane, Restavrant and My Graveyard Jaw!
Roots Roadhouse 2:
An American Roots Music Festival served with a twist!
THE SADiES * JESSIE SYKES * EILEN JEWELL * MIKE STINSON
BIG SANDY & HIS FLY RITE BOYS * WHITEY MORGAN AND MORE!
Roots Roadhouse 2 is the all day-into-night festival celebrating Country, Americana, Bluegrass, Blues and Old Time Music. The artists on Roots Roadhouse take the tradition, or root of these genres of music and twist and bend just enough to call them their own, but still stay true to the classic form. It is curated by The Echo, Grand Ole Echo and The New Los Angeles Folk Festival and will be an all-ages event.
The mini-festival takes place in both The Echo and Echoplex and includes The Grand Ole Echo’s practice of a “back porch” or outdoor stage for more acoustic/bluegrass and old-time music artists. Last year the outdoor stage erupted into an afternoon of foot-stomping, hand-clapping and impromptu square dancing. As noted in the LA Observer’s Chicken Corner, “I took (my daughter) to an all-ages, country rock, urban-country-rockabilly-cowpunk extravaganza called Roots Roadhouse…what a treat that was! Not to mention the graceful confectionary fusion of cultural…stuff, both intentional and not.”
In addition to the music, Roots Roadhouse will feature The Bicycle Kitchen (a local non-profit bicycle repair shop) along with vendors selling vintage clothing , jewelry, and collectible Americana objects, games of Bingo with prizes, BBQ and Dessert trucks, and Alternative arts & crafts led by Marcus Kuiland-Nazario. There will be a full bar in side and Belgium/Fat Tire Beer will be the official sponsor of the event. Last year’s photo exhibit went over so well, that music photos will again be gracing the walls of the Echoplex.
Alt-Country Darlings, The Sadies, will be a featured touring act, along with Americana artist, Eilen Jewell, Jesse Sykes and Phil Wandscher (Whiskeytown), Bloodshot artists, Whitey Morgan & the 78’s, “Rodeo” resounder, Dawn Landes ( &The Hounds) and the Lone Star state’s premier singer-songwriter, Brennen Leigh. Added bonus--former LA honky-tonk hero, Mike Stinson will be coming in from his new hometown of Houston, TX.
Local acts that you won’t want to miss will include Rockabilly artsists, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys, country-rockers, Jackshit (The super group of musicians, Val McCallum, Davey Farragher & Pete Thomas), the punk bluegrass sound of Old Man Markley, the lo-fi crazy stompin’ blues of Restavrant, and former cowpunker (X) turned guitar-hero,Tony Gilkyson.
Rounding it out on the folk-side of country will be The Broken Numbers Band, Olentangy John, Eastside Hayride, The Driftwood Singers, The Eagle Rock Gospel Choir and the folk music rooted in tradition of David Serby & The Dirt Poor Folklore.
Tickets for the event are available now on the Echo’s website and through Ticketweb.
The cost are $15 and $18 Day of show. (details below)

The mini-festival takes place in both The Echo and Echoplex and includes The Grand Ole Echo’s practice of a “back porch” or outdoor stage for more acoustic/bluegrass and old-time music artists. Last year the outdoor stage erupted into an afternoon of foot-stomping, hand-clapping and impromptu square dancing. As noted in the LA Observer’s Chicken Corner, “I took (my daughter) to an all-ages, country rock, urban-country-rockabilly-cowpunk extravaganza called Roots Roadhouse…what a treat that was! Not to mention the graceful confectionary fusion of cultural…stuff, both intentional and not.”
In addition to the music, Roots Roadhouse will feature The Bicycle Kitchen (a local non-profit bicycle repair shop) along with vendors selling vintage clothing , jewelry, and collectible Americana objects, games of Bingo with prizes, BBQ and Dessert trucks, and Alternative arts & crafts led by Marcus Kuiland-Nazario. There will be a full bar in side and Belgium/Fat Tire Beer will be the official sponsor of the event. Last year’s photo exhibit went over so well, that music photos will again be gracing the walls of the Echoplex.
Alt-Country Darlings, The Sadies, will be a featured touring act, along with Americana artist, Eilen Jewell, Jesse Sykes and Phil Wandscher (Whiskeytown), Bloodshot artists, Whitey Morgan & the 78’s, “Rodeo” resounder, Dawn Landes ( &The Hounds) and the Lone Star state’s premier singer-songwriter, Brennen Leigh. Added bonus--former LA honky-tonk hero, Mike Stinson will be coming in from his new hometown of Houston, TX.
Local acts that you won’t want to miss will include Rockabilly artsists, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys, country-rockers, Jackshit (The super group of musicians, Val McCallum, Davey Farragher & Pete Thomas), the punk bluegrass sound of Old Man Markley, the lo-fi crazy stompin’ blues of Restavrant, and former cowpunker (X) turned guitar-hero,Tony Gilkyson.
Rounding it out on the folk-side of country will be The Broken Numbers Band, Olentangy John, Eastside Hayride, The Driftwood Singers, The Eagle Rock Gospel Choir and the folk music rooted in tradition of David Serby & The Dirt Poor Folklore.
Tickets for the event are available now on the Echo’s website and through Ticketweb.
The cost are $15 and $18 Day of show. (details below)

Tasseomancy to release album
Catch the NPR premier of the video for "Heavy Sleep" off of Tasseomancy's upcoming album, Ulalume, out on August 30th from Out of This Spark!
Tasseomancy is a continuation of what was a bare bones neo-folk duo. Formerly known as Ghost Bees, Sari and Romy Lightman have found a heavier, more ambient sound, ripe with dreamy, dissonant vocals, influenced by eastern song, drone music, phonography, and myth.
The sisters return to their ancestral side with their second full-length, Ulalume, co-produced and accompanied by Taylor Kirk and Simon Trottier of Timber Timbre and influenced by the work as touring members of the electronic outfit, Austra.
Tasseomancy expands its scope to move beyond earlier acoustic arrangements, combining the rhythmic soundscapes of Popol Vuh and Comus with the dream-like state of Julee Cruise. The outcome is both terse and expansive, haunting and resonant in the manner of early soul music, with a smoke ribbon shape and full peal all its own.
Ulalume will be available on Out of This Spark on August 30th, 2011.

Nashville radio tower recognized in the National Register of Historic Places
Legendary Nashville radio station 650AM WSM has added yet another achievement to its storied 85-year history with the inclusion of the station’s radio tower in the National Register of Historic Places. The 808-foot WSM broadcast tower and radio transmission complex, located in Brentwood, Tenn., was officially recognized in March 2011 by the National Park Service for the property’s “association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history” and its “distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction.” The tower and surrounding structures qualified for the National Register in the Engineering, Architecture, Communications, Music and Military categories. “WSM is extremely proud to be included in the National Register of Historic Places,” says WSM Operations Manager and Program Director Joe Limardi. “Although WSM is best known for its 85-year association with Country music and as the radio home of the Grand Ole Opry, WSM was also an invaluable source of news and rural public service programming in its early days and even assisted our military’s defense efforts during the Cold War era. Since 1932, the WSM tower has been one of the most recognized structures in Nashville, and we’re thrilled that it is now recognized nationally as well.” The 50,000-watt WSM radio tower’s unique diamond shape, originally constructed by Blaw-Knox Steel Co. in 1932, has enabled the station to broadcast to as many as 38 states and Canada as a federally-designated, AM clear channel station. WSM’s sizable broadcast range, particularly in the evenings, was critical to the early national success of its Grand Ole Opry radio program. The WSM tower remains the oldest and tallest Blaw-Knox Diamond Radio Tower in the world. WSM’s historic tower and radio transmission complex is located on a 30-acre tract of land in Williamson County at 8012 Concord Road, Brentwood, TN, 37743. The historic complex served as a temporary home for the legendary station May 2010 – January 2011, when its permanent operations inside the Gaylord Opryland Resort were displaced by last spring’s disastrous Nashville flood.
