RICHIE KOTZEN FIRST-EVER PROFESSIONALLY FILMED DVD, “RICHIE KOTZEN LIVE” STREAMING NOW ON YOUTUBE

RichieKotzen400

Richie Kozten released his first-ever professionally filmed DVD, Richie Kotzen Live, October 13th, 2015 through his Headroom-Inc label. He has now made it available for fans worldwide to stream on his official YouTube page.

As Kotzen explains, “I was thinking that there are so many fans around the world that simply don’t have access to or can’t afford to buy this content. Not that I’m looking to give everything away, but I thought by making this available for people to watch on YouTube I was sort of giving back a bit to all the great people who have bought my music, concert tickets, and generally supported my pretty much ‘underground’ career over the last 20 years. Those who can afford or desire to own the full resolution DVD still have the option of buying it as well…and I hope they do as I’ve still got a few on-going bills to pay (laughing).”

Kotzen and his band ended their 2014-2015 tour in Tokyo, Japan at Akasaka Blitz, where they shot the entire concert in high-definition. This is Kozten and his band—bassist Dylan Wilson and drummer Mike Bennett–at their best. It features some of his classics, You Can’t Save Me, Remember, as well as new songs Cannibals, War Paint and
Walk With Me. The collection also includes off-the-chart improvisational solo sections between Kotzen and his virtuoso rhythm section. This live DVD concert is a must-have for Kotzen fans worldwide, and it’s the perfect introduction to those who have yet to be a part of the Richie Kotzen experience.

Richie currently plays guitar and fronts The Winery Dogs with bassist Billy Sheehan and drummer Mike Portnoy (the band’s latest Hot Streak album debuted at #2 on the Billboard “Top Current Alternative Albums” chart and #5 on Billboard’s “Top Current Hard Music” chart). The trio is on tour in Europe through the end of February. U.S. tour dates will be announced in the coming weeks.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH RECEIVE THE PRESTIGIOUS “SOLDIER APPRECIATION AWARD” FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY

fivefingerdeathpunch640

Five Finger Death Punch recently received the prestigious “Soldier Appreciation Award” From The Association of the United States Army. The award was founded in 1950 by the then newly founded AUSA. This was based on having Germany and Europe stationed US troops that had a hard standing in the public. The soldiers had been under hard pressure and so the AUSA founded the Award to honor the organizations and/or people who supported the troops to make their daily life more easy and comfortable.

Zoltan Bathory (guitars) states, “The Soldiers Appreciation Award is something very special. The only musician ever to receive this was Elvis Presley. Clearly what we have to say resonates with a lot of veterans and a lot of service members. To know that we are reaching people and touching their lives with our music is very rewarding, and to me this really is the sole purpose of being a musician — to be able to make a positive impact in somebody’s life.”

The band will be touring with Shinedown starting in April.

FFDP/Shinedown tour dates:

April 30th – Ft. Myers, FL – Fort Rock Festival
May 1st – Jacksonville, FL – Welcome To Rockville
May 3rd – Evansville, IN – Ford Center (co-headlining w/Shinedown)
