pianist <b>Larry Goldings</b> and trumpeter
<b>John Sneider</b>, is just such a
project; a debut three decades in the making. It might seem like a simple
undertaking — a small format album of piano and trumpet — but under the hood
there is a lot more going on than meets the eyes (or ears).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The project was still taking shape even up to the

we decided to do the old tune </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">‘Laugh </b><b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Clown Laugh,’</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">” says Sneider. “We did it in one take. A lot of the
stuff on the record is one take. We decided to just play some tunes for fun.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">“Laugh Clown Laugh,”</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> featuring <b>Goldings</b>
on pocket piano, Wing upright and organ, became the opening track on Chinwag
and sets the tone for the project. “It's got all the elements of the record, and
it instantly tells you that it's gonna be different. I wanted to make that
point in the beginning,” says <b>Goldings</b>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">+++</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Chinwag</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">,
which literally means “a conversation between friends,” is the most recent
expression of the long and ongoing friendship between <b>Goldings</b> and <b>Sneider</b>.
Massachusetts natives of the same generation, both grew up with a love of bebop
and electronic music. By the time they began playing together on the early 90s
New York music scene — working regularly at clubs like <b>Augie’s</b> and the <b>Village Gate</b>
— each had become a devotee of hard bop and had developed a common musical
language.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“We go way back,” says </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Goldings</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. “</span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">John</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> was
certainly the first great trumpet player I ever played with regularly.” Today </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Goldings</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, who eventually moved to Los
Angeles, has become one of the most iconic keyboard players of his generation,
due in large part to his diversity and flexibility both on stage and in the
studio. </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Sneider</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> has also spent his
fair share of time in recording studios and on stages and in recent years has
been releasing regular hard bop statements, including 2021’s </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>The
Scrapper</i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> which also featured </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Goldings</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
on organ.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Goldings</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> and <b>Sneider</b>
flirted with the idea of making a duet record for years. On <b>Goldings’</b> 2009 <b><i>Quartet</i></b> record, for
example, they played a haunting duo version of <b>“We Shall </b></span><b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Overcome”</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, and before that, on <b>Curtis Stigers’</b> 2005 album <b><i>I Think It’s Going To Rain Today</i></b>,
they recorded a duo version of the title track. In fact, it was during the <b>Stigers</b> recording sessions that the
idea of doing a full fledged duet project first appeared. As <b>Goldings</b> explains, “The impetus of us
playing duo came out of that experience.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Chinwag</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> by friends of 30 years, <b>Larry Goldings & John Sneider</b>, is

Bern</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Surprisingly, the occasion marks the first appearance of a </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Bern</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> album on vinyl, during a career
spanning more than 30 releases.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“</span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Dan</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s </span><a href="https://youtu.be/BiED7L-wf0M" style="font-size: 11pt;">epic</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">‘Thanksgiving Day Parade,’</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> literally took two years to record,”
says the song’s producer, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Wil Masisak</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
in the liner notes of the upcoming reissue. “The sense that we’d made something
worth hearing coupled with the knowledge that we couldn’t have done this alone
or without difficulty was immensely rewarding.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Unfortunately, the release date was set for Tuesday,
September 11th, 2001, and so it is that this incredible collection of American
songwriting seemingly meant for those who did their best to carry on after 9/11
finds itself a little lost to time.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“With </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Dan Bern</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s

literally clearer that </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Bern</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s lyrics
“have proven to be prescient, as if they were written yesterday,” according to </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Young</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“National treasure” is an overused phrase to denote
somebody whom Americans acknowledge as important. Someone whose contributions

treasure” can measure. What <b>Bern</b> has
offered throughout a 30-album and counting career speaks to something deeper in
us than any two-word workaround for actual criticism could define. <b>Bern</b>’s work takes those risks, and <b><i>New
American Language</i></b> is his career’s most precarious statement. In a world
filled with plenty of “safer” controversial subjects to write about, <b>Bern</b> could do that if he felt like it.
We are better for his decision not to.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">+++</span></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Dan Bern</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> | <b>Links</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.fanaticpromotion.com/danbern" style="font-size: 11pt;">ASSETS</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> : </span><a href="https://www.danbern.com/" style="font-size: 11pt;">WEBSITE</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> : </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/danbern" style="font-size: 11pt;">FACEBOOK</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> : </span><a href="http://www.instagram.com/realdanbern" style="font-size: 11pt;">INSTAGRAM</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> : </span><a href="http://www.grandphony.com/" style="font-size: 11pt;">GRAND PHONY</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> : </span><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/73CZu9benZbhuQwq2NDuWL?si=axrl79LzTtGChIQt1NVdEA" style="font-size: 11pt;">SPOTIFY</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">

he parted ways with his record label to be able to see his vision through. “If
you were to come over on a Saturday afternoon, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Otis Redding</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> is what is playing on the stereo.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The

singer-songwriters that I found myself a part of,” he admits. After releasing
two records that reckoned with darkness and personal tragedy, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Norwood</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> wanted to make an album that
was “just fun.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">A “knockdown dragout” is a phrase I used to hear my
mother use,” he explains of the album’s statement of purpose, which also
addresses his relationship with the music industry. “It’s essentially a fight
between two people that is particularly bad.” </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Norwood</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s decision to leave his label to make this album was
actually amicable, but even civil closure smarts.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The same goes for </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Norwood</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s

Lyrically, I wanted to write a song about how amazing my wife is! Previously, I’d spent too many albums writing about heartache, and I wanted this one to reflect where I’m currently with the love of my life. One of the things I love about soul music lyrically is that not everything has to be so heavy-handed.</span></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“It’s not that the lyrics don’t matter; it’s just that they’re a part of the greater aim of giving you that good soul feeling. One of my favorite parts of this song is the amazing string playing (arranged by my friend </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Nick Seeley</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">). The strings still give me goosebumps when they come in on the second verse. And that sax solo by the excellent </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Preston Lewis</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> on the outro is phenomenal!</span></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Using </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Motown</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> as a guide for this track, I knew I wanted to make it big and sweeping. Those early </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Motown</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> hits are so expansive with the band, background vocals, horns, percussion, and strings. And it’s almost reminiscent of </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Phil Spector</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s ‘Wall Of Sound’ approach.</span></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“This track has 14 musicians on it. I had so much fun building the whole arrangement. We started with the rhythm section (bass, drums, percussion, guitar, and keys) playing together in the room. Then, I overdubbed the lead vocals and then the backing vocals with that call and response. I then added the horn with the amazing sax solo on the outro. Then, finally, the strings. But everything fits together. We were very intentional about each layer complementing and supporting the whole groove.” — </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Chris J Norwood</b></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></center><center><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">+++</span></center></div></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Chris J Norwood</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> | <b>Links</b></span></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="http://www.fanaticpromotion.com/theknockdowndragout" style="font-size: 11pt;">ASSETS</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> : </span><a href="https://www.chrisjnorwood.com/" style="font-size: 11pt;">WEBSITE</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> : </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/chrisjnorwood" style="font-size: 11pt;">FACEBOOK</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> : </span><a href="http://www.twitter.com/chrisjnorwood" style="font-size: 11pt;">TWITTER</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> : </span><a href="http://www.instagram.com/chrisjnorwood" style="font-size: 11pt;">INSTAGRAM</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> : </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/chrisjnorwoodmusic" style="font-size: 11pt;">YOUTUBE</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> : </span>

co-founded the ferocious punk band with her fellow high school classmates in
the 1990s. </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Lunachicks</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> released a

brings decades of chops, experiences, and attitude to </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Delete The World</i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, adding
brooding, textured, and experimental sounds that combine on lead single and
video </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">“Drink Me,”</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> recently called “a
catchy, swaggering dance-punk song” by </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Brooklyn
Vegan</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Heavy bass riffs and retro synth sounds pair perfectly with the
visually arresting music video created by award-winning pop surrealist </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Stänzii</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“‘Drink Me’</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> was inspired by my occasional tendency to lean
precariously on vices — wine in this case — but also the collective experience
of friends I had been in conversations with about obsession and addiction,” <b>Volpe</b> explains. “The lyric, ‘one foot
in the grave, the other in my mouth,’ is a cheeky observation of how messy and
dangerous our habit of running to the nearest exit can be.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">While </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
is known for her furious guitar solos, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Delete The World</i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> proves that she is
a true musical nomad at heart, a fact that becomes even clearer when asked
about her influences.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“I am always so careful about who I cite as an
influence because it doesn’t make a lot of sense in relation to what I’m doing,”
</span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> explains. “</span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Pink Floyd</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, I mean, I sound nothing
like them. </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">David Bowie</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Scary
Monsters</i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Donna Summer</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">‘I Feel Love.’</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> I also love </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Death From Above</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, but I sound nothing
like them. </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">ZZ Top</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">... I don’t hear
any of them in my music either!”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> also mentions her fondness for newer bands such as <b>Idles</b>, <b>Dry Cleaning</b>, and <b>Viagra
Boys</b> before using this question about influences to point out a reality
that follows proactive female artists like herself.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“I feel like there can be a binary way of thinking in
the music industry,” she says. “Even in the streaming platform’s algorithms,
which suggest gender is a genre in and of itself. This conversation vexed me my
whole career. My influences span the gender spectrum.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Like the societal borders that </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> rightly reminds us about, she describes </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Delete The World</i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> as “a
disintegration of not just traditional stylistic borders, but also mental ones.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Many of these songs reflect on coping mechanisms gone
awry, unintended consequences, and how perception can cut you loose or keep you
confined. It is a dubious assumption that humans are in control of anything,”
she says.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> is absolutely in control of her ability to take
everything she has absorbed during her prolific career and turn it into a
singular solo statement. “With <b><i>Delete The World</i></b>, I get to color
outside the lines and be as messy as I wanna be.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Delete The World</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> by <b>Gina Volpe</b> arrives on <b>Feb. 23, 2024</b>.

and others, is the perfect primer on </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Lunachicks</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s
lasting influence, which began when </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
co-founded the ferocious punk band with her fellow high school classmates in
the 1990s. </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Lunachicks</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> released a
half-dozen albums, toured the world numerous times, and staked a claim in rock
history.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Now </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
brings decades of chops, experiences, and attitude to </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Delete The World</i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, adding
brooding, textured, and experimental sounds that combine on lead single and
video </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">“Drink Me,”</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> recently called “a
catchy, swaggering dance-punk song” by </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Brooklyn
Vegan</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Heavy bass riffs and retro synth sounds pair perfectly with the
visually arresting music video created by award-winning pop surrealist </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Stänzii</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“‘Drink Me’</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> was inspired by my occasional tendency to lean

is known for her furious guitar solos, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Delete The World</i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> proves that she is
a true musical nomad at heart, a fact that becomes even clearer when asked
about her influences.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“I am always so careful about who I cite as an
influence because it doesn’t make a lot of sense in relation to what I’m doing,”
</span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> explains. “</span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Pink Floyd</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, I mean, I sound nothing
like them. </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">David Bowie</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Scary

any of them in my music either!”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> also mentions her fondness for newer bands such as <b>Idles</b>, <b>Dry Cleaning</b>, and <b>Viagra
Boys</b> before using this question about influences to point out a reality
that follows proactive female artists like herself.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“I feel like there can be a binary way of thinking in
the music industry,” she says. “Even in the streaming platform’s algorithms,
which suggest gender is a genre in and of itself. This conversation vexed me my
whole career. My influences span the gender spectrum.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Like the societal borders that </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> rightly reminds us about, she describes </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Delete The World</i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> as “a
disintegration of not just traditional stylistic borders, but also mental ones.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Many of these songs reflect on coping mechanisms gone
awry, unintended consequences, and how perception can cut you loose or keep you
confined. It is a dubious assumption that humans are in control of anything,”
she says.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> is absolutely in control of her ability to take
everything she has absorbed during her prolific career and turn it into a
singular solo statement. “With <b><i>Delete The World</i></b>, I get to color

lasting influence, which began when </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
co-founded the ferocious punk band with her fellow high school classmates in
the 1990s. </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Lunachicks</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> released a
half-dozen albums, toured the world numerous times, and staked a claim in rock
history.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Now </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
brings decades of chops, experiences, and attitude to </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Delete The World</i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, adding
brooding, textured, and experimental sounds that combine on lead single and
video </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">“Drink Me,”</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> recently called “a
catchy, swaggering dance-punk song” by </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Brooklyn
Vegan</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Heavy bass riffs and retro synth sounds pair perfectly with the
visually arresting music video created by award-winning pop surrealist </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Stänzii</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“‘Drink Me’</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> was inspired by my occasional tendency to lean
precariously on vices — wine in this case — but also the collective experience
of friends I had been in conversations with about obsession and addiction,” <b>Volpe</b> explains. “The lyric, ‘one foot
in the grave, the other in my mouth,’ is a cheeky observation of how messy and
dangerous our habit of running to the nearest exit can be.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">While </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
is known for her furious guitar solos, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Delete The World</i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> proves that she is
a true musical nomad at heart, a fact that becomes even clearer when asked
about her influences.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“I am always so careful about who I cite as an
influence because it doesn’t make a lot of sense in relation to what I’m doing,”
</span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> explains. “</span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Pink Floyd</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, I mean, I sound nothing
like them. </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">David Bowie</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Scary

Boys</b> before using this question about influences to point out a reality
that follows proactive female artists like herself.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“I feel like there can be a binary way of thinking in
the music industry,” she says. “Even in the streaming platform’s algorithms,
which suggest gender is a genre in and of itself. This conversation vexed me my
whole career. My influences span the gender spectrum.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Like the societal borders that </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> rightly reminds us about, she describes </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>Delete The World</i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> as “a
disintegration of not just traditional stylistic borders, but also mental ones.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Many of these songs reflect on coping mechanisms gone
awry, unintended consequences, and how perception can cut you loose or keep you
confined. It is a dubious assumption that humans are in control of anything,”
she says.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Volpe</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> is absolutely in control of her ability to take
everything she has absorbed during her prolific career and turn it into a
singular solo statement. “With <b><i>Delete The World</i></b>, I get to color
outside the lines and be as messy as I wanna be.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Delete The World</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> by <b>Gina Volpe</b> arrives on <b>Feb. 23, 2024</b>.

or at link above!</span></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“This song started with the drum beat, which is
essentially the groove from </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">‘You Can’t
Hurry Love’</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> — such an iconic old soul groove. Lyrically, I wanted to write
a song about how amazing my wife is! Previously, I’d spent too many albums
writing about heartache, and I wanted this one to reflect where I’m currently
with the love of my life. One of the things I love about soul music lyrically
is that not everything has to be so heavy-handed.</span></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“It’s not that the lyrics don’t matter; it’s just that
they’re a part of the greater aim of giving you that good soul feeling. One of
my favorite parts of this song is the amazing string playing (arranged by my
friend </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Nick Seeley</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">). The strings
still give me goosebumps when they come in on the second verse. And that sax
solo by the excellent </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Preston Lewis</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
on the outro is phenomenal!</span></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Using </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Motown</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
as a guide for this track, I knew I wanted to make it big and sweeping. Those
early </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Motown</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> hits are so expansive
with the band, background vocals, horns, percussion, and strings. And it’s
almost reminiscent of </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Phil Spector</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s
‘Wall Of Sound’ approach.</span></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></center><center><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“This track has 14 musicians on it. I had so much fun
building the whole arrangement. We started with the rhythm section (bass,
drums, percussion, guitar, and keys) playing together in the room. Then, I
overdubbed the lead vocals and then the backing vocals with that call and
response. I then added the horn with the amazing sax solo on the outro. Then,
finally, the strings. But everything fits together. We were very intentional
about each layer complementing and supporting the whole groove.” — </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Chris J Norwood</b></center><center><br /></center><center>+++</center><center><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></b></center><center><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Chris J

he parted ways with his record label to be able to see his vision through. “If
you were to come over on a Saturday afternoon, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Otis Redding</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> is what is playing on the stereo.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The

two records that reckoned with darkness and personal tragedy, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Norwood</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> wanted to make an album that
was “just fun.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">A “knockdown dragout” is a phrase I used to hear my

addresses his relationship with the music industry. “It’s essentially a fight
between two people that is particularly bad.” </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Norwood</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s decision to leave his label to make this album was
actually amicable, but even civil closure smarts.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The same goes for </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Norwood</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s

remastered edition, of </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>New American Language</i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, the 2001
album by acclaimed American songwriter, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Dan
Bern</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Surprisingly, the occasion marks the first appearance of a </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Bern</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> album on vinyl, during a career
spanning more than 30 releases.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“</span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Dan</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s </span><a href="https://youtu.be/BiED7L-wf0M" style="font-size: 11pt;">epic</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">‘Thanksgiving Day Parade,’</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> literally took two years to record,”
says the song’s producer, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Wil Masisak</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
in the liner notes of the upcoming reissue. “The sense that we’d made something
worth hearing coupled with the knowledge that we couldn’t have done this alone
or without difficulty was immensely rewarding.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Unfortunately, the release date was set for Tuesday,
September 11th, 2001, and so it is that this incredible collection of American
songwriting seemingly meant for those who did their best to carry on after 9/11
finds itself a little lost to time.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“With </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Dan Bern</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s
large and acclaimed catalog, I have no idea how he has never had a vinyl
release,” says </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">John Young</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> of </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Grand Phony Records</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> (</span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Mike Viola</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Trapper Schoepp</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">), the label that will reissue </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Bern</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s landmark album. </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>New American Language</i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> is my favorite

literally clearer that </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Bern</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s lyrics
“have proven to be prescient, as if they were written yesterday,” according to </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Young</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“National treasure” is an overused phrase to denote
somebody whom Americans acknowledge as important. Someone whose contributions
to the American fabric are numerous, never in doubt, but rarely at risk.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Bern</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> and his work is something more ingrained than what “national
treasure” can measure. What <b>Bern</b> has
offered throughout a 30-album and counting career speaks to something deeper in
us than any two-word workaround for actual criticism could define. <b>Bern</b>’s work takes those risks, and <b><i>New

he parted ways with his record label to be able to see his vision through. “If
you were to come over on a Saturday afternoon, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Otis Redding</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> is what is playing on the stereo.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The

singer-songwriters that I found myself a part of,” he admits. After releasing
two records that reckoned with darkness and personal tragedy, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Norwood</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> wanted to make an album that
was “just fun.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">A “knockdown dragout” is a phrase I used to hear my
mother use,” he explains of the album’s statement of purpose, which also
addresses his relationship with the music industry. “It’s essentially a fight
between two people that is particularly bad.” </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Norwood</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s decision to leave his label to make this album was
actually amicable, but even civil closure smarts.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The same goes for </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Norwood</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s

somebody whom Americans acknowledge as important. Someone whose contributions
to the American fabric are numerous, never in doubt, but rarely at risk.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Bern</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> and his work is something more ingrained than what “national
treasure” can measure. What <b>Bern</b> has
offered throughout a 30-album and counting career speaks to something deeper in
us than any two-word workaround for actual criticism could define. <b>Bern</b>’s work takes those risks, and <b><i>New
American Language</i></b> is his career’s most precarious statement. In a world
filled with plenty of “safer” controversial subjects to write about, <b>Bern</b> could do that if he felt like it.
We are better for his decision not to.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">+++</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Dan Bern</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> | <b>On Tour</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ3yJKUIqoIxvA4s2VDsdQvjm4wFPM6RUi0eqhjZIVkyYt5ucd5hMRJ7_GeG7VCRgUHZZzjcYVR23GwJNYvXRbufBENAkNNRWonKudrAGoNTPqaYr3BzIKztUpFMqz9EFykkeHwQpwZs42bqGeRC09edUSlUdJUTwHDdi6ue6d8XhnMO9Kz6VWzVIsSfE/s1200/TOUR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="1200" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ3yJKUIqoIxvA4s2VDsdQvjm4wFPM6RUi0eqhjZIVkyYt5ucd5hMRJ7_GeG7VCRgUHZZzjcYVR23GwJNYvXRbufBENAkNNRWonKudrAGoNTPqaYr3BzIKztUpFMqz9EFykkeHwQpwZs42bqGeRC09edUSlUdJUTwHDdi6ue6d8XhnMO9Kz6VWzVIsSfE/w400-h209/TOUR.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/17/2024: Atlanta, GA @ Eddie’s Attic</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/18/2024: Carrboro NC @ Cat’s Cradle Back Room</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/19/2024: Vienna VA @ Jammin’ Java</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/20/2024: New York NY @ Mercury Lounge</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/21/2024: Philadelphia PA @ 118 North</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/22/2024: Providence RI @ Askew</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/23/2024: Woodbury CT @ Woodbury Brewing Company</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/25/2024: Cambridge MA @ Club Passim</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/27/2024: Montreal QC @ The Wheel Club</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/28/2024: Ottawa ON @ Live on Elgin</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/31/2024: Toronto ON @ Monarch Tavern</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/01/2024: Rochester NY @ Abilene</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/02/2024: Syracuse NY @ 443 Social Club</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/03/2024: Saratoga Springs NY @ Caffe Lena</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/04/2024: Northampton MA @ Parlor Room</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/06/2024: Buffalo NY @ 9th Ward</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/07/2024: Pittsburgh PA @ Club Cafe</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/08/2024: Ann Arbor MI @ The Ark</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/09/2024: Columbus OH @ Natalie’s</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/10/2024: Newport KY @ Southgate House Revival

remastered edition, of </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><i>New American Language</i></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, the 2001
album by acclaimed American songwriter, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Dan
Bern</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Surprisingly, the occasion marks the first appearance of a </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Bern</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> album on vinyl, during a career
spanning more than 30 releases.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“</span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Dan</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s </span><a href="https://youtu.be/BiED7L-wf0M" style="font-size: 11pt;">epic</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">‘Thanksgiving Day Parade,’</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> literally took two years to record,”
says the song’s producer, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Wil Masisak</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
in the liner notes of the upcoming reissue. “The sense that we’d made something
worth hearing coupled with the knowledge that we couldn’t have done this alone
or without difficulty was immensely rewarding.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Unfortunately, the release date was set for Tuesday,
September 11th, 2001, and so it is that this incredible collection of American
songwriting seemingly meant for those who did their best to carry on after 9/11
finds itself a little lost to time.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“With </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Dan Bern</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s
large and acclaimed catalog, I have no idea how he has never had a vinyl

literally clearer that </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Bern</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s lyrics
“have proven to be prescient, as if they were written yesterday,” according to </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Young</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“National treasure” is an overused phrase to denote
somebody whom Americans acknowledge as important. Someone whose contributions

treasure” can measure. What <b>Bern</b> has
offered throughout a 30-album and counting career speaks to something deeper in
us than any two-word workaround for actual criticism could define. <b>Bern</b>’s work takes those risks, and <b><i>New
American Language</i></b> is his career’s most precarious statement. In a world
filled with plenty of “safer” controversial subjects to write about, <b>Bern</b> could do that if he felt like it.
We are better for his decision not to.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">+++</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Dan Bern</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> | <b>On Tour</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ3yJKUIqoIxvA4s2VDsdQvjm4wFPM6RUi0eqhjZIVkyYt5ucd5hMRJ7_GeG7VCRgUHZZzjcYVR23GwJNYvXRbufBENAkNNRWonKudrAGoNTPqaYr3BzIKztUpFMqz9EFykkeHwQpwZs42bqGeRC09edUSlUdJUTwHDdi6ue6d8XhnMO9Kz6VWzVIsSfE/s1200/TOUR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="1200" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ3yJKUIqoIxvA4s2VDsdQvjm4wFPM6RUi0eqhjZIVkyYt5ucd5hMRJ7_GeG7VCRgUHZZzjcYVR23GwJNYvXRbufBENAkNNRWonKudrAGoNTPqaYr3BzIKztUpFMqz9EFykkeHwQpwZs42bqGeRC09edUSlUdJUTwHDdi6ue6d8XhnMO9Kz6VWzVIsSfE/w400-h209/TOUR.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/17/2024: Atlanta, GA @ Eddie’s Attic</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/18/2024: Carrboro NC @ Cat’s Cradle Back Room</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/19/2024: Vienna VA @ Jammin’ Java</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/20/2024: New York NY @ Mercury Lounge</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/21/2024: Philadelphia PA @ 118 North</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/22/2024: Providence RI @ Askew</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/23/2024: Woodbury CT @ Woodbury Brewing Company</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/25/2024: Cambridge MA @ Club Passim</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/27/2024: Montreal QC @ The Wheel Club</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/28/2024: Ottawa ON @ Live on Elgin</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">01/31/2024: Toronto ON @ Monarch Tavern</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/01/2024: Rochester NY @ Abilene</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/02/2024: Syracuse NY @ 443 Social Club</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/03/2024: Saratoga Springs NY @ Caffe Lena</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/04/2024: Northampton MA @ Parlor Room</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/06/2024: Buffalo NY @ 9th Ward</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/07/2024: Pittsburgh PA @ Club Cafe</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/08/2024: Ann Arbor MI @ The Ark</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/09/2024: Columbus OH @ Natalie’s</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">02/10/2024: Newport KY @ Southgate House Revival

he parted ways with his record label to be able to see his vision through. “If
you were to come over on a Saturday afternoon, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Otis Redding</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> is what is playing on the stereo.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
Knockdown Dragout</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> cover the <b>Redding</b> classic <b>“Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa (Sad Song)”</b> in a joyous rendition that sits
perfectly alongside <b>Norwood</b>’s
originals.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“I </span><i style="font-size: 11pt;">had</i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> to

feel good, and that’s what I love about soul music. Even the sad songs make you
dance.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Norwood</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> had become tired of sadness.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“I’m disillusioned with the ‘sad bastard’ scene of
singer-songwriters that I found myself a part of,” he admits. After releasing
two records that reckoned with darkness and personal tragedy, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Norwood</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> wanted to make an album that
was “just fun.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">A “knockdown dragout” is a phrase I used to hear my
mother use,” he explains of the album’s statement of purpose, which also
addresses his relationship with the music industry. “It’s essentially a fight
between two people that is particularly bad.” </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Norwood</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s decision to leave his label to make this album was
actually amicable, but even civil closure smarts.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The same goes for </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Norwood</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">’s
surprise genre switch-up.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“I wanted to write some songs that I could actually
sing to </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">Carrie</b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> and dance in the

the album’s standout tracks, </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;">“Dancing In
