Best known for their self-penned infectious guitar driven hits “Back Here,” “Out of My Heart“ and “The Ghost of You and Me,” BBMAK was one of the few bands from that genre to play their own instruments.  Billboard Magazine named “Back Here” the 9^th Greatest Boy Band Song of All Time.

DAVID ARCHULETA DEBUTS VIDEO FOR

“POSTCARDS IN THE SKY”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62L9j8xtRlY

ADDS NEW DATES TO 2019 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

David Archuleta has debuted his brand new video “Postcards In the Sky,” the title track to his most recent album release.

Click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62L9j8xtRlY

“I wanted to show different scenarios of people going through hard things. “Postcards in the Sky” was inspired by a story of a girl who lost her mom and little brother in a car accident. (Relatives of co-writer of the song actually).  In the funeral they released balloons with messages/memories on them, symbolizing that it’d reach wherever they may be now that they’re gone. I felt like we need to do that more often. Let out our “postcards” into the world. Our voices, our words can make a difference. We don’t know whose life it will change, but most likely it’s our own life that’s changed by it. That’s how it’s been for me.” Says David

Additionally, David is currently on his North American tour in support of the Postcards In The Sky album release.  Initial dates were revealed earlier this year with numerous cities just added to the trek.  The tour will weave through such cities as New York, Boston & Chicago before hitting Las Vegas, NV & Santa Barbara, CA in mid-April.  Tickets available here: https://davidarchuleta.com/home/live/

In Today's "Alarm"ing News...

Mike Peters And The Alarm To Celebrate Acclaimed New Album EQUALS by kick starting Fall North American Tour with acoustic performance at Kulak’s Woodshed.

Watch “Beautiful” from EQUALS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgXrHpduUjQ

Watch “Two Rivers” from EQUALS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbkdvOgmC-E

• Fall 2018 N. American Tour Confirmed; See Dates Below

• The Alarm to participate in the Love Hope Strength Foundation - Rock The Canyons, a unique fundraiser where supporters will trek with the band to a concert in the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas finale, Oct 14-21, 2018

• Third annual celebration of The Alarm "New York Gathering" confirmed for April 12 & 13, 2019

The Alarm, will ignite their 19-date North American tour promoting Equals (the critically lauded new album which has simultaneously put the band back on the charts on both sides of the Atlantic), by performing an acoustic set at Kulak’s Woodshed in Los Angeles on October 24^th before appearing at the legendary Roxy Theater on Sunset Boulevard, the very next night on October 25^th.  It’s been 31 years since The Alarm have performed at The Roxy, so this is sure to be a special night and exciting way to kick off the North American tour.

Prior to the tour, Mike Peters and The Alarm are also taking part in the Love Hope Strength Foundation fund-raising trek Rock The Canyons from Oct. 14-20, 2018 which will take the band, cancer survivors, supporters and musicians (including Robin Wilson of Gin Blossoms and Billy Duffy of The Cult), into the depths of The Grand Canyon to perform a unique concert followed by a Golf Day and finale event at the ARCIS Desert Pines Golf Club in Las Vegas on Oct. 20. One of the best natural wonders of the world on one of the best charity events imaginable!

The Alarm recently performed atop the LIVE Nation building in New York attracting over 100,000 Facebook Live viewers while announcing dates for the tour and their third annual New York Gathering which will take place April 12-13, 2019 at both the Gramercy Theatre and Irving Plaza.

Both events will feature two very special and unique Alarm concert experiences.

On Friday April 12, at the Gramercy Theatre, The Alarm will perform in full, the exact same set list as presented during their historic 'Spirit Of '86 Concert' that was broadcast globally by MTV on April 12, 1986. This anniversary concert will also coincide with the re-release date for The Alarm's STRENGTH album which is being re-mastered and made available in record stores around the world also on April 12, 2019. The title song 'Strength' gave it's name to the Love Hope Strength charity co-founded by three time cancer survivor, Mike Peters in 2007 that has since registered over 150,000 people to the International Bone Marrow Registry and potentially saved over 3,500 lives in the process.

On Saturday April 13, The Alarm will perform a second full electric set at the prestigious Irving Plaza in New York, where fans can expect to hear all the very best Alarm music that has resonated with North American audiences since the release of The Stand back in 1983 and endured to the present day, through the release of new album Equals.

No need for Paranoia, it's just Lee DeWyze

Singer-Songwriter Lee DeWyze has announced he will release his brand new album, Paranoia on February, 16, 2018 via Shanachie Entertainment.  Paranoia is Lee’s seventh studio album to date and first full length set of new music since 2016’s Oil & Water. Lead single, “The Breakdown,” has been selected for a key scene in Showtimes #1 hit show Shameless which is set to air on the January 21, 2018 episode.  “The Breakdown” is the first track from Paranoia with Billboard.com premiering the lyric video. 

View here: https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/8046337/lee-dewyze-the-breakdown-lyric-video-premiere

 The initial dates for Lee’s 2018 North American tour have been announced (see below) and will kick-off February 15 in Lee’s hometown of Chicago.  In addition, Lee has signed an exclusive deal with CESD, the leading agency for Voice-Over for animation, video and more.   

 Since emerging onto the scene, Lee’s real breakout moment came when he wrote an original song for The Walking Dead. “Blackbird Song” has over 12 Million YouTube views collectively, and 5.8 Million Spotify streams. The single has sold more than 100k copies and was considered one of the top 10 most influential syncs in 2014 from the Musicians Guild of America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wbgb3lgMluA

 Since the release of “Blackbird Song," Lee has gone on to have more than 35 syncs and placements in TV shows such as Elementary, Suits, The Fosters, Nashville, Reign, Hart of Dixie, Bull, and many others. His song “Don’t Be Afraid” was the national campaign song for 2 years for Blue Cross Blue Shield, and ESPN used his song “The Ride” in several NASCAR commercials. Lee’s song “Fight” was on the Hot AC Top 40 chart for 10 weeks straight was featured in the highly acclaimed independent movie, Sister. Lee also won an award from the LA Indie Film Festival for his video for the song “Fight,”which he wrote and directed himself.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0z3xHzUJAQ

 In 2016, Lee released his album Oil & Water which debuted in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Folk Music chart and received high praise from both Billboard & Huffington Post.  It was also considered a top 10 album of the year by PopDose Magazine while Yahoo Entertainment heralded DeWyze’s music for having “a hymn-like vibe, majestic orchestration and introspective lyrics.”  Lee released the single, “Weight” in Dec of 2016, which was featured in the season finale of CBS’ Elementary. Originally written for the feature “Collateral Beauty,” this song was a turning point in Lee’s writing career.  http://thisisasides.com/lee-dewyzes-worth-weight-heated-jacket-required/

 In addition to writing and recording Paranoia for the greater part of 2017, Lee signed a publishing deal with SONGS publishing (home to Lorde, The Weeknd, Diplo).  http://variety.com/2017/music/news/lee-dewyze-american-idol-walking-dead-publishing-deal-songs-1202476849/
