Walter Trout will release “Survivor Blues”, covers album, globally on January 25th, 2019, via Provogue Records.

Walter Trout is no ordinary artist and this is no ordinary covers album. From the day he conceived the project to the moment he counted off the first song in the studio, he had a bolder plan for this release.

European Blues Award winner Erja Lyytinen will return to the UK in March 2019.

One of the few remaining truly independent, privately owned record labels in existence today, L.A.-based Cleopatra Records has been championing underground music and outsider artists since its inception in 1992.

Now, the label has teamed up with the biggest music festival dedicated to discovering and promoting new talent, SXSW, to announce the first ever official Cleopatra Records showcase. Headlining this special event is legendary songwriter/producer/guitarist, Todd Rundgren, an artist well known for pushing the boundaries of rock and pop with his distinctive flair for the eccentric and unusual.

Preparing for a nonstop year, Walter Trout does not plan to rest on his laurels following the success of his 2017 release, “We’re All In This Together”.

Having survived a near-death bout with liver disease and a liver transplant in 2014, he is now full of energy and joie de vivre, and wants to make every note, every gig, and every day count.

“We’re All In This Together” features 14 of today’s most prominent musicians, including Joe Bonamassa, Warren Haynes, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, John Mayall, Robben Ford, and Edgar Winter. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart and stayed in the Top Ten for over three months!

Powerman 5000’s legacy continues to push the boundaries of rock, metal, industrial, rap, and punk to create innovative and groundbreaking releases time and time again. Their upcoming highly anticipated album, “New Wave”, hits shelves on October 27th, 2017, in digital and retail outlets worldwide.

“New Wave” is PM5K’s eleventh official release since forming in 1992 and continues the strides and success from their platinum-selling album “Tonight the Stars Revolt!” to their most recent chart-topping single in 2014, “How to Be a Human”.

Powerman 5000 have inked a worldwide deal with Pavement Entertainment. The new album “New Wave” marks the next chapter in the world of PM5K and the follow up to 2014's highly successful “Builders of the Future”.

According to vocalist Spider One: “We went a bit dirtier on this one. Ripped it up more than the last couple of records. One of the goals was to recreate the noise of the live show. Keep in the chaos.” On the album title, Spider adds, “New Wave? Are we a new wave band? Well, I would say that we have always had more in common with Devo than Dio”.

Finnish slide guitarist and singer-songwriter, Erja Lyytinen, is pleased to announce that she will embark on her “Stolen Hearts” UK tour from September 20th – 26th.

The tour will feature songs from her latest critically acclaimed album “Stolen Hearts” mixed by, and vocals recorded by Chris Kimsey (The Rolling Stones, Bad Company, Marillion, Peter Frampton).
