2/13: VEGAS UPDATE, MICK MARS, SABBATH TONIGHT, MORE

Greetings from Las Vegas, where I have spent the last few days here participating with fellow radio programmers and broadcasters in a seminar called Radio Contraband. Saw so many old friends and met a bunch of new ones, and hopefully a few new stations that will be adding my FM syndicated show. Many bands played as well. Saw DJ Ashba, Andrew Stockdale from Wolfmother (a major metal fan!), the guys in Killswitch Engage, 3 Doors Down, Pop Evil, Jesse James Dupree and a ton I’m probably forgetting. A bunch of new bands as well performed. While here I also caught Michael Monroe Wednesday and Anthrax/LOG on Thursday. Tonight Black Sabbath and for the first time I’m seeing Rival Sons live. Home to freezing NJ tomorrow.

Just heard from Mick Mars. He’s releasing some new solo music teasers today 7P ET on his social media and Youtube. Mick said he’s still working on the full album but I have the world premiere when ready! Thanks Mick!

I will be live on SiriusXM 39 this Monday 6-10P ET channel 39 for TRUNKNation. Joe Lynn Turner & Steve Brown in studio as well as Monster Truck. Final live show for a few weeks as I’m headed out on Monsters Cruise and also now hosting the Lebrewski cruise!

Glenn Hughes dates have been rescheduled. Check your local listings. NYC now 8/10.

No news yet on TMS or a new home. When I know what’s up I’ll post. We are exploring all options and it takes time. Thanks

GLENN HUGHES RESCHEDULES SOLO HEADLINING TOUR OF THE U.S. DUE TO DELAYS RECOVERING FROM DOUBLE KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERIES

glennHughes400

Rock and roll legend Glenn Hughes is rescheduling his recently announced US headline tour. The tour that was originally set to begin on March 2nd in San Jose, CA is now set to begin on August 9th in Annapolis, MD. The 64-year old icon recently underwent dual knee replacement last month and delays in the recovery from those operations are the reason for the reschedule of the tour.

“I am sorry to say that some recent setbacks in my recovery from knee operations are the reason that I can’t get out to see everyone as soon as I had hoped,” states Hughes. “I want to make sure I give my fans the best live experience possible and promise it will be worth the wait. I can’t wait to see everyone at the shows.”

The “Voice of Rock” will be performing a collection of music from his extensive career, including selections from Trapeze, Deep Purple, Hughes/Thrall, and Black Country Communion as well as his solo material. Backing Hughes on this incredible tour will be guitarist Søren Andersen and drummer Pontus Engborg. The tour will be making stops in cities such as New York, NY; Detroit, MI; and two shows in Chicago, IL before wrapping up at the legendary Whisky in Los Angeles, CA on September 3rd. More tour dates to be announced in the future. British blues songstress, Joanne Shaw Taylor, has been tapped to open the shows. Tickets are currently available and links to the rescheduled dates can be found on www.glennhughes.com. All tickets remain valid for the rescheduled dates and fans can reach out to their local promoters and venues with questions about the new dates. For questions regarding VIP Upgrade packages, please contact On The List Presents at vip@otlpresents.com.

Glenn Hughes will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the Mark III line up of Deep Purple on April 8th. He spent key years of his career as the beloved bassist and vocalist of the group, recording on the classic albums: Burn, Stormbringer, and Come Taste the Band. Hughes and other members of Deep Purple will be in attendance to receive the honor. This will mark the first time in 30 years that all the members have been in the same room together, some have never even met. Other inductees include Cheap Trick, Chicago, N.W.A, and Steve Miller. The ceremony will take place at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, NY and will be recorded and broadcast via HBO at a later date.

Vocalist/bass guitarist/songwriter Glenn Hughes is a true original. No other rock musician has carved such a distinctive style blending the finest elements of hard rock, soul and funk. Stevie Wonder once called Hughes his favorite white singer. The first important band Hughes was a member of that achieved notable success was Trapeze. In 1973, Hughes joined Deep Purple. The trailblazing hard-rock legends had just weathered the departure of vocalist Ian Gillan and bass guitarist Roger Glover, but guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, keyboardist Jon Lord and drummer Ian Paice continued with the addition of Hughes and David Coverdale. Since 1992, Hughes has toured extensively in Europe, Japan and South America in support of solo albums, but more recently has been involved with award winning supergroups’, Black Country Communion with guitar star Joe Bonamassa, keyboard player Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater) and drummer Jason Bonham, son of the late Led Zeppelin legend John Bonham and California Breed, who also featured both Hughes and drummer Jason Bonham.

DELTA DEEP, FEATURING DEF LEPPARD’S PHIL COLLEN AND STONE TEMPLE PILOT’S ROBERT DELEO SET OUT ON EAST COAST “SUGAR SHACK” TOUR

philcollendeltadeep640

Delta Deep, the critically acclaimed blues-based band featuring Phil Collen (lead guitarist of Def Leppard) and Robert DeLeo (bassist for Stone Temple Pilots), in addition to Debbi Blackwell-Cook (back-up vocalist for such artists as Michael Buble & Gregory Hines) and Forrest Robinson (drummer for India.Arie, Joe Sample & The Crusaders, TLC), are set to continue their 2016 Sugar Shack Tour with a run up the East Coast this Spring. Beginning on March 28th in Washington, DC the quartet will hit Philly, Asbury Park, Northampton, MA before heading into NYC, Boston and finishing up with a spot at Daryl’s House, the venue owned by Hall & Oates’ Darryl Hall. The east coast leg of the Sugar Shack tour ends on April 8th in Bay Shore, NY with more dates to be announced shortly.

Delta Deep will be touring in support of their soon to be released live album, featuring songs recorded during the inaugural January Sugar Shack west coast run. The January run featured sold-out shows with fans and critics’ alike raving about the bands live show. Elmore Magazine declared, “Delta Deep is a rocking force due to bring down any house– historical or modern.” While San Francisco’s BAM Magazine said, “the live experience for Delta Deep is one not to be missed…Debbi Blackwell-Cook is mesmerizing!”

Collen initially started Delta Deep in 2012 after jamming over the course of a year with friend and relative, Debbi Blackwell-Cook. What started as a casual pairing singing Motown and classic blues staples quickly became a quartet who share a love for soul, funk and the blues when they added STP’s DeLeo and drummer Forrest Robinson.

AXS Entertainment proclaims, “The goal of (Delta Deep) is to create music that revives an appreciation for blues music. Mission accomplished.” Glide Magazine says, “Collen has used the blues as a base, a foundation, on which to build his songs up from, adding in textures of R&B, soul and down & dirty rock & roll.” LA Music Blog declares “(Delta Deep’s) style of rock and blues is unique and consistently entertaining,”

MICHAEL MONROE RELEASES VIDEO FOR “GOIN’ DOWN WITH THE SHIP”

michaelMonroe640

Former Hanoi Rocks frontman Michael Monroe has released a video for the song, Goin’ Down With The Ship, from the album, Blackout States,

Monroe says, “The song is not necessarily about sailing or seamanship as such – it’s basically about us getting on the tour bus and hitting the road with our band.

Ville Juurikkala, who shot the videos for Ballad Of The Lower East Side, Stained Glass Heart and Old King’s Road, has done this new one, too. It was pretty easy to make and includes some footage shot by the band while we were on tour.

“I think the video has a good vibe and we’re all happy with the way it turned out. Hope you enjoy it.”

Blackout States was released in 2015 through Spinefarm.

Michael Monroe on tour:

2/11: Los Angeles, CA @ Whiskey
2/12: Los Angeles, CA @ Whiskey
2/13: San Jose, CA @ Rock Bar
2/16: Sellersville, PA @ Sellersville Theater 1984

GUITARIST ACE FREHLEY TO RELEASE HIS COVERS ALBUM, “ORIGINS VOL. 1,” ON APRIL 15TH, KISS’ PAUL STANLEY APPEARS ON THE RECORD

acefrehley400

Kory Grow of Rolling Stone reports:

Ace Frehley is beginning the new year by looking back. The former KISS guitarist’s new LP, Origins Vol. 1 – due out April 15th – finds him covering songs by Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, Thin Lizzy and other artists that have inspired him over the years. His heavy-hitting take on Cream’s White Room is premiering here. The LP also features his first recording with Paul Stanley, an impassioned interpretation of Free’s Fire and Water, in nearly two decades. Other guests on the record include Slash, Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready, Lita Ford and Rob Zombie guitarist John 5.

“I’m really thrilled with the whole thing,” Frehley tells Rolling Stone. “I’m excited about it, and probably somewhere down the road there’ll be a second volume.”

…Frehley shrugs off any residual tension between himself and Stanley. “We’ve always been friends,” he says. “The press seems to amplify negativity. I guess it makes good copy.”

Both founding KISS members were fans of Free and the song Fire and Water, the title cut of the All Right Now group’s 1970 LP. Frehley had wanted to do a version of it since the Seventies, so he recorded the backing tracks with his band and sent them to Stanley about a month ago, with the KISS singer sending his recorded parts right back.

“I thought Paul did a fabulous vocal on it,” the guitarist says. “He jumped at the chance to do this because it’s something that’s outside of KISS and his character in KISS, and it gave him a chance to, you know, sing. With Paul, you usually think of him singing in a slightly higher register and on Fire and Water, he’s singing deep from his diaphragm, and it’s a real cool vocal. Everyone’s who heard it was just thinks it’s the s–t.”
