Interview With Richard Lynch 2016

INDEPENDENT COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAMER RICHARD LYNCH RELEASES NEW SINGLE, “A BETTER PLACE”

Compiling a long list of hits and chart toppers in the traditional country world, Richard Lynch is an award-winning American country music artist, reminiscent of the classics that started it all. The same passion and raw truth that fueled the likes of Conway Twitty, Keith Whitley, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, and Hank Williams is sewn into the fabric of Richard Lynch. In a world of fabricated country stars, Richard Lynch stands out in the crowd as a proud member of the last of a dying breed, the pure country music artist. An Independent Country Music Hall of Fame Inductee, Richard’s rock solid country roots span 3 decades; it comes up with the sun each morning, and it settles in the music he writes and the songs he sings.. The spirit of Richard Lynch is that which is attached to the working man’s soul. It’s real and it’s timeless. It’s country, the way country was meant to be.

Now Richard is releasing his brand new single, the poignant title track to his latest Billy Yates-produced album, A Better Place. Written by Yates and Trent Tomlinson (“One Wing in the Fire”), “A Better Place” features Lynch’s hauntingly beautiful and emotional vocal alongside a who’s who of the best musicians in country music: Eddie Bayers, drums (Garth Brooks, George Strait); Eli Beaird, bass (Joey+Rory, Willie Nelson/Merle Haggard); Scotty Sanders, steel and dobro (Trace Adkins, Dierks Bentley); Jeff King, electric guitar (Reba, Luke Bryan); Steve Nathan, piano, keys, synth (Tim McGraw; Toby Keith); Hyram Posey, fiddle (Grand Ol’ Opry); Larry Franklin, fiddle (Lorrie Morgan, Alan Jackson); Larry Beaird, acoustic guitar (Rascal Flatts, Brooks and Dunn); Billy Yates (Sara Evans, Kenny Chesney) and Russell Terrell, backing vocals (Clint Black, Darius Rucker.)

A Better Place was released on the MOD Label. Promotions are by Twang Thang Country – Nashville, TN. Publicity by MTS Management Group – Pittsburgh, PA.

Living the life he sings about is what gives Richard Lynch the edge as a singer/songwriter. Richard is a hard working, blue collar man. He is a designer and builder of amazing barns, and as should be expected, he is an American farmer. His everyday life and paying his musical dues by performing at 100′s of events & shows a year, all across the country, is that which shaped him into a one-of-a-kind performer. Richard’s style is true and it carries into his live shows. Much like his music alone, a live performance of the Richard Lynch Band is something you feel. It’s something you carry with you when you walk away. If country music is a gift that sustains in our lives wherever we go, Richard Lynch is the messenger.

The second tie is to a Psychological test (the AXIS V) that measures psychological, social and occupational functioning. Also available to read about on our website at AXISFIVEBAND.com

The original music is immersed in current political, social and heart-felt subjects, and has a very distinct guitar-vocal-drum driven vibe. Rhyming lyrics that make perfect light of the rock-driven platform behind lead singer, songwriter, David Stanfill.

The bands second CD, “The Other Side”, is now available. Recorded by Jhon Ackerman of the Recording Zone, and mastered by Ted Mason, President of Mi5 – Universal Music Group, the band is currently performing the new album live at their many concerts.

Interview With Pat Catalano Of CATALANO 2016

patcattwiter

I grew up in Chicago in the 70’s and 80’s. Listening to bands like Aerosmith, Kiss and Led Zeppelin. When the 80’s rolled in I fell in love with guitar the second I saw Warren DeMartini fall through the ceiling and land on a table playing his guitar solo in the video for “round and round”. That was it, I was hooked. I started playing guitar and never looked back. My biggest influences muscly are bands like Queensryche, Dokken, Aerosmith, Dio, Def Leppard and the list goes on. My guitar influences are Warren DeMartini, George Lynch, Bill Leverty, Vivian Campbell, Michael Wilton and Chris DeGarmo.

I love music and play Guitar for the band Catalano and have a solo release available worldwide on Rogue Records which is a diverse compilation of songs that reflect many of my musical influences. There are no rules when it comes to style, genre or sound. These are the words I live by. Experimental, grove, rock, metal, pop call it what you will. Music should come from the heart and deep from your soul. When I pick up a guitar I play what I feel inside this translates to my unique style and sound that I do not label. Its music, it’s my art.

Catalano was a project that was born out of my recording sessions for my solo album “Only a Dream”. After recording the album I got a few guys together and started the band. Knowing I needed a second guitar player I called my brother John and told him to dust off his gear and get back in the game. We decided to call the band Catalano in honor of our brother Nick who had passed away in 2001. With the right guys in the mix we started writing sessions and hitting stages across the city and the Midwest. We decided to bring an energetic live show that is reminiscent of an 80’s arena rock show. No one was doing that anymore and it was seen as an old fad. We still believe that rocking hard on stage and enjoying our music with our fans is the best thing in the world.

Interview With Nikki Darling And Rachel Rekkit Of CrashDollz 2016

CrashDollz 2016 n

CrashDollz are THE Detroit Punk-Metal crossover band everyone has been waiting for. In 2016 and beyond, CrashDollz are poised to be the next huge band.
Finally here to re-ignite Rock and Roll, CrashDollz bring Punk sneer with Big Rock Power into a new unchartered area. Crossing demented aggression, punk attitude, heavy metal power,

virtuoso musicianship and sexy/trashy/gutter punk image into a whole new music revolution that could only have come out of Detroit, CrashDollz are truly unique and one-of-a-kind.

CrashDollz have played 7 states through the midwest and east coast and garnered universal acclaim for their debut CD “CrashDollz” (available at www.crashdollz.com). Press sheet

available upon request. Signed to RadicLea Records and distributed through Sony, RED and CEN, their highly- anticipated follow-up CD “Punks In Amerika” will be released

internationally on March 18, 2016.

Formed in 2010 by Singer Nikki Darling and guitarist Rachel Rekkit, CrashDollz immediately became the most notorious band in the midwest. Fights on stage between members,

violence and extreme aggression coupled with musical precision and top-notch songwriting put CrashDollz on the map quickly.
Leading the way on vocals is Nikki Darling, with her Raw, Aggressive and Powerful vocals. Nikkis technical ability as a singer adds enormous depth to an otherwise stale genre and her

outrageous stage presence and confrontational stance is without peer. Followed by Guitarist Rachel Rekkits loud in your face but memorable guitar riffs, whiz-kid solos and demented

stage presence.

Drummer Garrett Krusher smashes the cannon-like beats into a frenzy and finally, you have Kevin “Krank” Kekes on pounding, aggressive bass guitar. Kranks agile and acrobatic

playing ability and stage presence balances the CrashDollz front line into the most uniformly bombastic stage fronts in rock history.
Watch out for the new CD “Punks In Amerika” releasing on March 18, 2016 and look for CrashDollz in 2016 and beyond!

The Misfits, Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine, Negative Approach, Great White, L.A. Guns, Vains of Jenna.

January 25th, 2016 Amy Rose’s newest single, “One of These Days” is released to country
radio.

She has been compared to Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson, with power to boot. Part
down-home country girl, part sophisticated music veteran, this Redneck Princess is certainly
one of Canada’s best keep secret.

Returning to the music scene after a brief hiatus to raise her family, this Redneck Princess
has started to take Nashville by storm.
With 3 Music Row top 100 singles, and 3 New Music Weekly top 10 singles, including a
number one for “Sunshine”, Amy Rose is certainly on her way to take her place among
Country Music Royalty.

At the age of five, Amy Rose was bitten by the music bug, and there was no looking back.
Working towards her goal, she released her first album, One Special Girl at the age of 13.
Sixteen was her next album with The Last of the True Believers.
Then she was bitten by a new bug. Amy Rose decided she wanted a family. Taking a few
years off, but still working some charity shows and gathering material for her return.

In 2011 it was time. Getting together with producers Marty Beecroft and Glen Coulson a trip
to Nashville, and 3 songs were complete.

In 2012 her first release of the new project, “I Just Want you to Know” was a powerful
ballad, a remake of a Back Street Boys song. This song put Amy Rose on the radar by
breaking the top 100 of Music Row and the top 10 in New Music Weekly. There is even a
Karaoke version of this song on Sound Choice’s Top Country Hits Monthly, which is almost
unheard of for an indie artist.
2013 was the year of the Rednecks. Amy Rose’s “Party Like a Redneck” was released. A
fun song completely making fun of her family, and they loved it. Written by Amy Rose and
her producers Marty Beecroft and Glen Coulson, giving Amy Rose the reputation of the
Redneck Princess. With almost half a million views on YouTube and in rotation on C.M.T.

Fields.

The winter of 2013 saw the release of “Sunshine”, another powerful ballad, dedicated to the
memory of the men and women lost in the military. Rising to number one on the New Music

Interview With Franki Dennull Of Purpose For Life

Franki Dennull has been using the name PURPOSE as a band and cause, since 1978. Though the players have changed, PURPOSE remains, as PURPOSE FOR LIFE. “We are all called to a purpose, and ours is to make music that, not only pleases the ear, but blesses the soul,” says Franki. It has been said that Franki’s songs paint panoramic pictures in your mind, leaving an indelible impression on your heart.

When Franki and Wendy Dennull started making music together in 1991, it was a forgone conclusion that their harmonies were a winning combination. Described as Beatleesque classic Rock and blues, with a strong Christian message, Franki’s writing and vocal style has been compared to John Lennon, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty, while still retaining his own unique style.

Shine On Records is proud to feature Franki’s song “Butterfly” as our label’s first release and look forward to many more great songs in the future from this dynamic Singer/Songwriter.
