DOWN IN A HOLE is also featured in People, Billboard, Huffington Post, Entertainment Weekly, Washington Post, Rolling Stone, Wall Street Journal, Guitar Player, The Boot, Vice/Live Nation TV, Closer Weekly, US Weekly, Sounds Like Nashville, Nashville Country Club, Taste of Country, The Pickup, Paste, Bella Magazine, Celebrity Page, Consequence of Sound, Associated Press and more!

Sutherland will also be on the cover of upcoming cover issues of Guitar Aficionado and Goldmine Magazine.

Reviewers are applauding Sutherland’s vocals, guitar licks and songwriting style:

“Kiefer Sutherland...slows down and unwinds on his debut album, a collection of 11 rough-edged country songs…The album has an unexpected, unvarnished authenticity that is pleasant, if sometimes familiar.”
-Jill Lawless, Associated Press

“Kiefer Sutherland’s new album DOWN IN A HOLE casts the popular actor in the role of talented songwriter/musician, something as unexpected as a 24 plot twist. His voice and original material are strong, begging the question, “Kiefer, what took you so long?”
-Mike Ragogna, Huffington Post

“Highlighted by his gravelly, whiskey-soaked growl, 49-year-old Kiefer Sutherland’s debut set of electric guitar–enhanced Southern rockers and smoky barroom ballads fares better than most other actors’ first releases.”
-Ian Drew, US Weekly

“The perfect soundtrack for your Americana, dive bar road trip, “All She Wrote” starts off with an intro that would sound right at home during the duel scene in a modern western. Sutherland’s gritty vocals overlap electric guitar and crashing drums…”
-Kat Harlton, Lithium Magazine

“This record is the closest thing I’ve ever had to a journal or diary. All of these songs are pulled from my own personal experiences. As much as I have enjoyed the writing and recording process, I am experiencing great joy now being able to play these songs to a live audience, which was something I hadn’t counted on,” Sutherland said of DOWN IN A HOLE.

Sutherland recently wrapped up a North American tour where he sold out venues across the U.S. and Canada. Additional dates for this fall will be announced soon.

Trip Out On "Memory Lane"

          
Memory Lane coming on March 24th
       A brilliant science thriller that has been                compared to independent  sci-fi               classics  Pi , Memento and Primer     

 "Shawn Holmes, an Afghan War veteran, spent the last of of his savings to make "Memory Lane." 

So glad the lead character in this film has one of those things, you know, your childhood, your past, oh a memory...

The psychological thriller tells the story of a war veteran who travels the real world and the afterlife in search of his fiance's killer by stopping and restarting his heart. Holmes started writing around the third grade and has been writing with his friend Hari Sathappan for years.

"Memory Lane is really just a combination of a lot of stuff that we have written from way back then to the middle of college so we just kind of combined everything we had and it turned out to be this," said Holmes. Friends were all over the set while making "Memory Lane" and when they were off set, too. Holmes' two roommates Zac Snyder and Michael Guy Allen, who is an Afghan War vet like his character, star in the movie.

"I wrote a lot of it around his experiences as an Afghan War combat veteran," said Holmes. "My other friend Zac Snyder also lived with us at the time, he stars in the movie. All the actors just volunteered so it was really easy to shoot being that I lived with two of the stars."

Once finished, "Memory Lane" was shown by the West Virginia Filmmakers Guild and Holmes was the youngest nominee ever for WV Filmmaker of the Year. Holmes then released "Memory Lane" online for one weekend and reached 22 thousand hits including the Wall Street Journal and Yahoo which helped build buzz and land Holmes in Hollywood where he's currently working on various high level projects.

Synopsis
When PTSD-plagued war vet Nick returns home and finds that his finance Kayla has committed suicide, he decides to take his own life, but what he sees in flashbacks moments before he is resuscitated leads him to believe Kayla was murdered. Now Nick must travel back and fourth between our world and the afterlife in a search of her killer - but to do it, he will need to die over and over again.
