“He’s fully absorbed his genetic and cultural heritage and draws upon both with great skill and dimension…an utterly distinctive voice that takes what’s come before and artfully moves it forward with the power of a certain steel-driving man.”—Los Angeles Times
Harlem River Blues, the new album from celebrated singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle, will be released September 14 on Bloodshot Records.

Son of country music royalty, father of three, nominated for a Grammy at age 6, he’s terrified of elves, he was at the forefront of the indie rock movement in the country music capital of the world, and if you catch him in a city near you, he’ll rock your face off. “…The only real curiosity about Bare’s career to date is that he hasn’t yet become a big name in modern rock—the kind of artist whose every album is awaited with the eager anticipation…" — Nashville Scene
Bare Jr. has toured with – Bob Dylan, Aerosmith, The Black Crowes, Andrew Bird, The Drive By Truckers, Dr. Dog, The Decembrists, The Walkmen, Centro-Matic, The Bottel Rockets and The Old 97’s.
In the artists words, his music is ‘southern and it rocks, but its not southern rock’. With his unique sound, Bare Jr. redefines both expectations, and what it means to be an independent artist in the 21st century. His style is a study in contrasts, going from gentle acoustic melodies to a guitar shredding riff in seconds. As he taps a tambourine with his foot, strums his guitar and tells stories in song – you’re captivated.
With the recent release of Twistable, Turnable Man: A Musical Tribute to the Songs of Shel Silverstein, produced by Bobby Bare Jr. and his dad, along with Bobby’s own album, A Storm, A Tree, My Mothers Head and an upcoming nationwide tour, Bare Jr. has a feeling that NOW is HIS time.
Like Bare Jr.’s music, this film will be a constantly evolving piece of art. Traveling with exclusive access we will be there to witness and capture first hand, the events that unfold as this artist approaches a crossroads in his life and career.
This isn’t a glowing or pompous look at a musical diva, but rather a look at a rocker who will do whatever it takes – at the times where so many other musicians would step down or sell out, Bare Jr. steps up.
BUT WE CAN’T MAKE THIS FILM WITHOUT YOU.
To truly capture Bare’s eclectic music style, we will shoot on mixed formats including 16mm, 8mm, HD, and utilize GoPro cameras to capture a true “fly on the wall” experience. The GoPro cameras offer a new perspective with their size and ability to be mounted on the stage, in places no other camera can get creating a new look at what it feels like to perform live. This is a truly unique experience.
We will also incorporate unique stop motion animation emphasizing certain experiences on the road and help to bridge together our travels on tour. WE NEED FILM – WE NEED MONEY – WE NEED YOU! YOU CAN BE A DRIVING FORCE IN BRINGING THIS FILM TO LIFE.
Come along for the ride as Bobby Bare Jr. rocks across the country and takes the music industry by storm.
We would also welcome donations of items from film stock, to equipment, to a van to drive across country. And, if you are interested in the project and you have skills you could contribute, we would love to hear from you.
Check back often for new videos!!

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will welcome Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings for a special FREE concert on the Museum’s Main Stage on Friday, August 13 at 8 p.m. Although this concert is FREE, a ticket is necessary for entry. There will be many ways for fans to win tickets to this special concert. Kia Motors promotion teams will be conducting ticket giveaway promotions at the Rock Hall during the Summer in the City concerts on July 14, July 21 and August 11. Tickets are also available online through Daptone Records at www.daptonerecords.com/rockhall and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum’s Facebook page and Twitter page. For complete information on how to obtain tickets, please visit www.rockhall.com/event/sharon-jones.
Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings have truly become renowned thanks to their incredible live show, not to mention their relentless touring. And though it’s certainly no easy task to keep such a vast ensemble on the road, the band continues to pack hundreds of clubs worldwide, from legendary venues like New York’s Apollo Theater, Beacon Theater and Central Park’s SummerStage to their show-stopping sets at Coachella, SXSW, Lollapalooza, Roskilde, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits and WOMAD.
Currently supporting their fourth album, I Learned the Hard Way, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings continue to electrify fans, disc jockeys, critics, record collectors, and bloggers the world-over with their authentic, heart-felt sound. The authenticity clearly demonstrated on the band’s three critically-acclaimed previous albums steeped within the gilded and gritty sounds of gospel, soul and funk – Dap Dippin’ (2002), Naturally (2005) and 100 Days, 100 Nights (2007) – captured and released by the independent Daptone Records. Their albums recall an analog era led by iconic studios like those at Motown and Stax Records, and have thrust the 53 year-old Augusta, GA native and crew into the multimedia limelight.
On Friday, October 29th, My Morning Jacket will be performing at University of Louisville’s KFC Yum! Center. Supporting the band will be the Louisville Youth Orchestra (LYO) and Louisville band Wax Fang. One dollar from every ticket sold will be going to the Louisville Youth Orchestra Continuing Education Scholarship, which raises money for at-risk youth to be able to attend school. The LYO was founded with the mission to provide high quality musical experiences and the opportunity to perform for the benefit of the Louisville community and its young musicians regardless of race, creed or economic circumstances. It is one of the oldest and largest youth orchestras in the US. The show will also continue the tradition of creating a “Local Louisville Village” inside the KFC Yum! Center, providing locally based businesses and non-profit organizations with a presence at their show.
Tickets for the show go on sale to the public on Saturday, August 14th at 10AM. A limited amount of tickets will be available at Ear X-Tacy on Thursday August 12th at 10AM, in celebration of the store’s 25th anniversary and its new location at 2226 Bardstown Road. In addition, My Morning Jacket will also be hosting a pre-sale to fans beginning at the same time. Check the MMJ shows page for information regarding the pre-sale, and other My Morning Jacket shows.
Bobby Bare Jr. has added a show at the Village Idiot in Maumee, Ohio on October 1st, 2010. His tour will also include midwest tour dates in Detroit and Cleveland.
U2 announce the rescheduled US dates for the U2360 Tour after Bono's injury forced U2 to pull out of Glastonbury Festival and U2 360 North America Tour commitments.
Larry, Adam, The Edge and Bono filmed the video during recording and tour rehearsals from their home in Eze Sur Mere in the South of France.
Live Nation Entertainment announced that the U2 360° tour dates in the US, which were recently postponed due to Bono’s emergency back surgery, have all been rescheduled for Spring/Summer 2011 with all tickets being valid at the rescheduled performances.
The 2010 European tour, which has not been affected, begins as scheduled on August 6th in Turin.
U2’s manager Paul McGuinness thanked fans for their ongoing support, “We’re delighted the dates are rescheduled and in all the same venues we originally planned to play. It hasn't been easy to accomplish this and I'd like to thank the managers of the many venues and sports teams across North America and Live Nation Global Touring for their help and cooperation in making this complex new plan possible. Above all we want to thank the U2 fans for bearing with us. They’re the best and the band wants to get back to where they belong, surrounded by their audience.”

I'm am happy to announce the first-ever Sea Wolf solo acoustic tour! I will be packing up my suitcase and guitar and traveling to your town to serenade you with Sea Wolf songs (and a few extras) as you've never heard them before.
Joining me on the tour will be two of my favorite artists and friends, Sera Cahoone and Patrick Park.
Also, my label will be releasing a 7" vinyl-and-digital-only single for 'Turn the Dirt Over' (from White Water, White Bloom), which will be available during the tour. The 7" single will include a remix by Broken Social Scene's Brendan Canning, and the digital version (which you may purchase on it's own, or will come free with the 7") will also contain an unreleased Sea Wolf track called: 'Where the Wind Blows'.
So, friends, please come join Sera and Patrick and I for these extra special shows!
