ABLAYE CISSOKO & VOLKER GOETZE
live!!
Today’s cross-cultural fusions often transcend both geography and genre, and whether it was fate or design that brought together Ablaye Cissoko and Volker Goetze, it is the listener who ultimately benefits. Despite any cultural barriers that separated them, Cissoko, the Senegalese griot singer and traditional West African 21-stringed kora player, and Goetze, the German-born, New York-based trumpeter discovered they had much in common, both musically and personally. Their commonalitiescan be heard on Sira, which is an album that reaffirms the maxim that music is the universal language. They appear tonight as part of their first USA tour together.
#2 Album, CMJ World Music Chart
"5 stars! Their serene dialogue, inspired by tradition and inventing a new vocabulary at the same time, is both thrilling and soothing." Mondomix France
"Cross-cultural fusion at its most sublime; Cissoko's keening vocals and cascading kora underpin much of the album, with Goetze weaving delicate yet sturdy lines (on trumpet) when inspiration strikes and Cissoko responding in kind...Delightful, mysterious, and indeed, ground breaking." - Jazzwise UK
“The music on this album is a revelation.” Songlines UK

Grand Ole Opry goes pink Friday
The Grand Ole Opry is joining the fight against breast cancer this Friday, Oct. 2 with “Opry Goes Pink,” and it is getting some help from one of America’s favorite morning news program personalities.

Komen for the Cure® 2009 Honorary Survivor of the Year Tracie Shelby to the crowd.
On each of the night’s shows, Opry superstar Carrie Underwood will take the stage to “flip the switch,” turning the Opry’s signature barn backdrop pink in support of the groups Women Rock for the Cure and Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.
The shows will also include performances from Underwood, Terri Clark, Jo Dee Messina, Lorrie Morgan, Mindy Smith, and others as well as special activities recognizing breast cancer survivors and the continuing fight against the disease.

About Women Rock For The Cure
WRFTC was founded in 2007 by four friends with ties to the music industry: Jensen Sussman, Liz Lee Schullo, Rebekah Lee Beard and Tara Austin who all met through the Society of Leaders in Development (SOLID), an organization for young music business professionals. With the support of SOLID, the girls set out to organize an all-female, writer-in-the round benefit concert – later called Women Rock For The Cure – to help raise awareness and funds for SOLID’s Race For The Cure team. Since then, WRFTC has worked to support the Greater Nashville affiliate of Susan G. Komen For The Cure®, raising money and increasing breast cancer awareness locally.

Dierks Bentley and CMT offering free song download to benefit Children's Miracle Network
In celebration of his partnership with CMT ONE COUNTRY, multi-platinum recording singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley is offering a free download of the inspirational “Beautiful World” featuring Patty Griffin on CMT.com beginning today. Bentley is offering this free download to fans to raise awareness about his nationwide “Miles & Music For Kids” fundraiser, which is sponsored by CMT ONE COUNTRY and benefits local hospitals in the Children’s Miracle Network.
”This is definitely one of my favorite songs, not just from the last album, but probably that I’ve ever written and recorded,” explains Bentley. “The whole premise is that if you watch the news or read the headlines, there is a lot of really negative stuff happening out there that can pull you down, but if you choose to follow the good and believe in something better, then it is a ‘Beautiful World.’”
The free download of Bentley’s “Beautiful World” is available here:
http://www.cmt.com/one_country/partners/childrens-miracle-network/miles-and-music.jhtml
Bentley’s “Miles & Music For Kids” fundraiser is expanding to six markets, with events taking place in Nashville, Tenn.; Bentley’s hometown of Phoenix, Ariz.; Seattle, Wa.; Atlanta, Ga.; Dallas, Texas and Chicago, Ill. in 2009 and 2010; all proceeds from these events will benefit Children’s Miracle Network hospitals in those areas.
This year’s kick off event will be held at Nashville’s Riverfront Park on Sunday, October 11 and will feature performances by Bentley and Capitol Nashville label-mates Darius Rucker and Eric Church along with Wynonna, Heidi Newfield and Michelle Branch. The Nashville event will once again benefit the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, a Children's Miracle Network hospital.

Mark Stuart and the Bastard Sons to tour in support of new album
Mark Stuart and The Bastard Sons are kicking it into gear for the fall, with the release this week of the band's brand new CD Bend In The Road, and a tour that begins with a free performance on Friday October 2 for the troops, personnel and visitors to the Air Show at Miramar Marine Corps base in San Diego.
The annual event draws more than half a million spectators over three days. The band performs at the Legends Sports Bar (on a special outdoor stage) at 7 pm. The show is open to the public.
Mark Stuart, the voice and vision of acclaimed alt-country/roots rock outfit Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash is leading the way with his new group Mark Stuart and The Bastard Sons. The Lincoln Journal Star called Bend In The Road "...the best country record...this year," while national music magazine Blurt, said, "Stuart exhibits the grit and the spit to keep the act convincing, and with rousing, rollicking barnburners like "Restless Ramblin' Man," "When Love Comes A Callin'" and "Gone Like a Raven" providing the fodder, their unflinching blue collar credo gets full venting."
Fans can expect no less from the live show, a toe-tapping, boot-scootin' affair that burns up the road with a high-octane groove in the spirit of Country Outlaws Willie, Waylon, Merle, and the Man in Black. A recent live review in the Santa Barbara News Press commented: "Bands like [Mark Stuart and The Bastard Sons] are the reason country music is still vital...The group takes a classic sound, writes great original songs and plays the hell out of them."

Deastro to tour in support of new album
Deastro Plays LOS ANGELES At The Echo on 11.24 With Max Tundra
Release "Tone Adventure #3" Single And
"Greens, Grays And Nordics (I Am Robot And Proud Remix)"
"Moondagger" Out NOW On Ghostly International
The title of Deastro's "Tone Adventure #3" may evoke a "working title"-like looseness--why name a song when you can simply number it?--but the track itself is one of Moondagger's tightest. "Tone Adventure #3" is an archetypal Deastro song, as Randolph Chabot sprints through catchy, melodic passages with maniacal conviction, howling about feet being "strapped to cannon balls" from behind a wall of computer-generated atmosphere.
In keeping with its title, "Tone Adventure #3" is more psychedelic than much of Moondagger, warping its instruments into unrecognizable, mutant sound-entities. Glockenspiels, spy-movie guitars, orchestral stabs, and alien ray guns all make appearances--as they should in any good adventure.
On "Tone Adventure #3"'s B-side, Toronto electro producer I Am Robot And Proud remixes Moondagger's "Greens, Grays, and Nordics" into a joyous, MIDI-fueled daydream. The song's previously sinister tone gets the lo-fi electronics treatment from the Robot's gleeful presets--the re-harmonized final chorus alone is worth the price of admission.
Randolph Chabot has been making albums since he was 12 years old -- now, at 22, the Detroit-based musician known as Deastro is ready for his close-up. "Vermillion Plaza" the second single from Deastro's upcoming full-length debut Moondagger, miniaturizes the album's best assets and shoots them out of a cannon. Plucky synth arpeggios, end-of-the-world choruses, joyously careening melody lines--it's all there, squashed into a life-affirming three minutes and 50 seconds. When Chabot pleads for contact, singing, "Would you be my son / 'cause all of mine have died?," it's less a cry of self-pity than an exhilarating salute to the power of human connection.
Recently, Chicago-based photographer/videographer James P. Morse--a longtime friend and collaborator of Ghostly's--followed Chabot around Detroit for a day and edited the footage into "Ghostly Presents: Deastro," a video profile whose warm, colorful aesthetic matches Chabot's energy and positivity to a T. Chabot putters around his Detroit home, visits his favorite bookstore, gushes about Isaac Asimov and Simone de Beauvoir, and plays a sweaty, packed show with his band. It's a loving portrait of an artist who stays true to his beliefs, staying passionate, engaged, and creative in all of his endeavors.Deastro's full-band debut, Moondagger, arrived on June 23rd, on Ghostly International.
