Queensrÿche
2025-11-25 00:00 | Starland Ballroom, 570 Jernee Mill Rd, Sayreville, New Jersey, 08872, United States
The Verdict
Release Date: March 1, 2019
Fact: Queensryche have never been a band to rest on their laurels. In a career set against the new-millennium’s backdrop of cultural chaos, they’ve remained a constant; musically innovative and lyrically thought-provoking. One of rock’s most respected names who have weathered the storm and emerged in 2019 with The Verdict. It’s an album that echoes Queensryche’s three decades of career high-points while pushing ahead with the confidence and urgency of a band just now coming into its own.
With a legacy behind them that’s shifted over 30 million records and built a dedicated legion of fans while touring the globe alongside giants including Metallica, Def Leppard and The Scorpions, Queensryche have exceeded themselves once again. If Queensryche’s 15th studio album sounds like a young, hungry band just hitting its stride, it’s because that is precisely the case. Produced and mixed by Chris “Zeuss” Harris (Hatebreed, Rob Zombie), who helmed 2015’s Condition Human, it’s also Queensryche’s third album with frontman Todd La Torre, who joined the veteran band in 2012, taking the reins from erstwhile voice, Geoff Tate.
“The Verdict is that statement for us – in much the same way that [1984’s] The Warning was,” says founding guitarist Michael Wilton. “This one’s the creative convergence of this lineup. We got together and worked on every song as a band. The spontaneity, the creativity; it came out of all of us, working together as a band should.” From the hypnotic riff and melody of “Light Years” to the moodiness of “Dark Reverie” or the epic rock n’ roll workout of “Propaganda Fashion” , this is a record that stands up to Queensryche’s gold and platinum watersheds including Rage for Order, Empire or Promised Land.
However, The Verdict is very much an album for 2019: both in band’s far-reaching musical grasp, but also from a lyrical point of view. As far back as 1988’s career and commercial breakthrough, Operation: Mindcrime, the Bellevue Washington-born band distinguished themselves for combining powerful and progressive rock with equally evocative lyrics. Queensryche’s latest is no exception to that rule. “It’s very usual for Queensryche to write about geo-political, socio-political, socio-economic, governmental-type things,” says La Torre. “Ideas that push people’s buttons, but in not such a literal way. There’s definitely an abstract aspect to the lyrics that make it open to interpretation.”
Queensryche and its now-seasoned frontman aren’t afraid to be direct in their lyrical ire. “The first track on the record is called ‘Blood of the Levant’,” La Torre explains. “That really is about the Syrian war and how it started with these two kids spray-painting: ‘You’re next, Doctor!’ referring to Assad, because he was an ophthalmologist before he took power. That song has to do with the people becoming rebels against their own Syrian government and the one’s that support it, i.e. Iran, Russia, Hezbollah, and ISIS which took advantage of the war to invade Syria. Then you have the song, ‘Bent’, that isn’t political but has undertones in lines
like: ‘The poisoning of tribes.’ Which is basically referring to how we devastated the Native Americans. “To the lifeline of Flint.” Which is basically about the bad water in Michigan. ‘Now the black snake it crawls deep within sacred grounds, we will never consent.” Talks about the oil pipelines going through Native American land.”
The bond that runs through the current lineup of Queensryche (rounded out by bassist Eddie Jackson and guitarist Parker Lundgren) was tightened and tested during the making of The Verdict. When personal commitments forced drummer Scott Rockenfeld to sit out the recording sessions that spanned between Seattle’s Uberbeatz, Michael Wilton’s Washington State home studio and Zeuss’ Planet-Z Studios in Hadley, Massachusetts, La Torre ably handled the drumming chores with the sort of reverence for Queensryche’s subtleties and nuances he demonstrates behind the mic. “I’ve been drumming for 30 years,” says La Torre, who was recruited from Floridian metal band, Crimson Glory. “I certainly know the nuance and style of Queensryche’s drum parts first hand so it certainly made me a logical choice to record the drums.”
The band credits Zeuss’ return to the producer’s seat as a key part of The Verdict being a record that will take its place amongst their classics. “Zeuss understands us in way that probably no producer we’ve ever worked with has,” says Jackson. “He understands our history, our sounds, what’s in our DNA. He’s willing to push us and vice-versa. We were lucky to work with him again.” When asked where The Verdict sits in Queensryche’s discography, there’s no mistaking the fact that the band’s legacy and connection with their fans is key to their continued success.
“With the first self-titled album (2013’s Queensryche), Todd and I were the new guys and we wanted to “stick to the legacy of Queensryche” and stick to the legacy of the first five classic records,” says Parker, who initially joined the band in 2009. “Then when Condition Human came out, we were able to branch out a little bit, pushing the limits stylistically. This album is really the next step for us.”
“Having Todd and Parker in the lineup does create some new chemistry and new ideas when it comes to the songwriting,” Jackson affirms. “Having new blood in the band certainly gave us some new life for these past three albums. This is something we all have a passion for and having the freedom to write, record and tour without any limits is nothing short of refreshing.”
Queensryche’s impact on other bands and musicians is undeniable. While they dominated rock radio in the 90’s with a string of hits including “Jet City Woman” and “Silent Lucidity”, their influence on rock and progressive bands including the likes Dream Theater or the late, lamented Nevermore has been undeniable. “We grew up during the days when being experimental was a key element,” says Wilton. “Where you could write an album that was completely different than the previous album, put those songs in your set-list and that would completely work! That’s what allowed us to play with Bon Jovi, AC/DC and Iron Maiden! It’s about the musicianship, the songwriting that desire to carry the torch when songs were put together by musicians not machines.”
The Verdict is in and it’s testament to not merely Queensryche’s staying power as a force in rock in a turbulent new world, but a band without boundaries who continue to prove how timeless they truly are.

But no matter the crowd size, the band’s mission remains the same: to inspire, uplift, and remind fans that they’re not alone in their struggles.

Memphis May Fire’s commitment to authenticity, combined with their ability to write both bone-crushing breakdowns and soaring, melodic hooks, ensures their place as one of the defining bands in today’s heavy music scene. For fans of powerful, heartfelt metalcore, this is a band that delivers every single time.

Vincent Ingala is no stranger to contemporary jazz audiences—his charisma, energy, and musicianship will put a smile on anyone’s face.
Peter recalls, “My earliest memories of Christmas were probably not much different from many other people: snowflakes, tinsel, Santa Claus, reindeer, and the opening of presents surrounded by family. As a child, my father taught me to play Christmas music on my first instrument, the recorder, and my love for Christmas music has endured throughout the years. I hope this tour will be an opportunity for many Smooth Jazz fans to enjoy their favorite Christmas songs in a family setting. You know, I might even bring my recorder!” Peter White’s classic acoustic guitar style can be enjoyed through an ever-growing and best-selling catalog, including his latest release “Light of Day” (2025).
“Growing up, my family would get together for Christmas every year” Mindi reminisces. “My grandmother would cook oyster stuffing and rhubarb pie, and we’d all play and sing together. I still make a rhubarb pie every year in her honor. My grandmother gave me great advice early on, ‘If you play the piano you can be the life of any party!’ She was an opera singer and would sit and play piano and sing Christmas songs. My father would take over and play more rock/blues/jazz versions of Christmas songs and we’d all sing. And of course I’d pull out my sax and play along with my father on piano. What an amazing way to grow up, with music surrounding me, and weaving into my life so seamlessly from a young age.” Mindi’s latest release “I Can’t Wait for Christmas” (2024) on Pretty Good For A Girl Records is a 10-song collection of holiday classics that transports listeners straight to the heart of the holiday season, blending timeless classics with fresh, soulful originality.
Vincent Ingala “I can vividly remember not being able to fall asleep waiting for Santa Claus to arrive on Christmas Eve. Somehow though, he always managed to get the job done while I was sleeping, and before I could catch him! I remember feeling extra special that Santa would place all of the gifts around the fireplace like a display, as opposed to them being wrapped under the Christmas tree. I would sneak downstairs multiple times with my flashlight to get a sneak peek before the sun would rise on Christmas morning! Memories such as these I will always continue to hold in my heart, and they are what makes Christmas a very magical time of the year.” Vincent’s latest release is “Escape with Me” (2024) on Shanachie Records.

Mannheim Steamroller Christmas by Chip Davis
2025-12-06 00:00 | State Theatre New Jersey, 15 Livingston Avenue , NJ, New Brunswick, NJ, 08901, United States
Mannheim Steamroller Christmas by Chip Davis has been America’s favorite holiday tradition for 40 years! Grammy® Award-winner Chip Davis has created a show that features Mannheim Steamroller Christmas classics in the distinctive Mannheim sound. The program includes 15 musicians playing more than 20 instruments against a backdrop of dazzling multimedia effects—capturing the spirit of the season in an immersive yet intimate setting.
About Chip Davis
A visionary musician and businessman, Chip Davis is behind a remarkable body of work now spanning five decades. Since founding Mannheim Steamroller and American Gramaphone Records (AGR) in 1974, Davis has written, arranged, and recorded over 35 albums, highlighted by the RIAA multi-platinum certified Mannheim Steamroller catalog. The best-selling Christmas music artist in history with over 31 million Christmas albums sold, the group celebrates the 40th Anniversary of its annual holiday tour in 2025, making it the longest running tour in the entertainment industry.
Davis has achieved worldwide sales of all album titles in excess of 41 million, with four multi-platinum, eight platinum, and 19 gold certifications in the U.S. alone. Furthermore, Davis is the entrepreneur behind the hugely successful Mannheim Steamroller product line, author of nine children’s books, an amateur astronomer, and dedicated philanthropist.
The man behind Mannheim was born Louis F. Davis, Jr. in the archetypal small town of Hamler, OH (Pop. 500), the son of a family to whom music and “a sensitivity to nature” were integral. He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1969 with mastery in bassoon and percussion before taking on a job at the Omaha, NE, ad agency, Bozell & Jacobs. In 1974, Davis and fellow ad exec Bill Fries teamed up to create a fictional truck driver named C.W. McCall for a series of Clio Award-winning commercials. A string of hit albums and top 40 singles followed, including the RIAA gold certified #1 classic, “Convoy.”
The success of C.W. McCall allowed Davis to focus on his own original music. He dubbed his new band Mannheim Steamroller—a play on the 18th-century musical technique known as the “Mannheim crescendo”—and in 1975 recorded Fresh Aire, a landmark work melding elements of classical, rock, and pop into something altogether unique. Foiled by the industry’s inability to classify a genre for the album, Davis decided to distribute and sell Fresh Aire on his own and AGR was born.
Davis employed innovative marketing techniques to spread his “18th Century Classical Rock,” and Fresh Aire eventually found its way onto record store shelves everywhere, fitted with the newly created classification “New Age.” Each consecutive album in the Fresh Aire series earned multi-million album sales, countless fans, and, with Fresh Aire 7, the 1991 Grammy® Award for Best New Age Album.
In 1984, Davis had the idea to reinvigorate traditional carols and Yuletide staples via Mannheim Steamroller’s always-eclectic sonic approach. Mannheim Steamroller Christmas proved a phenomenon, the band’s first to reach the Billboard 200 album chart on its way to six-time RIAA platinum certification. A Fresh Aire Christmas followed in 1988, achieving six-time platinum certification and ultimately surpassing its monumentally successful predecessor to be declared the sixth best-selling holiday album of the SoundScan era.
Further Christmas collections resulted in cumulative Christmas album sales in excess of 31 million. The Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Tour quickly became as much a Yuletide tradition; today two separate groups perform across the country.
Mannheim Steamroller’s An American Christmas, a 12-hour nationally broadcast radio special heard annually on over 450 stations across the U.S.
The steadfastly autonomous AGR label has released works by an array of like-minded artists. For their part, Mannheim Steamroller has observed additional holidays such as Halloween and July Fourth while also exploring inspirations spanning the music of Walt Disney films to the majesty of Yellowstone National Park.
Additionally, Davis is the creator of the patented ambient therapy system, inspired by his own neck surgery in 2004. The system enhances healing by reducing stress, anxiety, and other barriers to recovery, combining musical content and four-channel surround sound algorithms. The ambient therapy system is used in medical facilities such as Minnesota’s Mayo Clinic and The National Intrepid Center for Excellence in Bethesda, MD, which serves wounded warriors.
Davis’ lifelong interest in astronomy has led to an extended relationship with NASA, including several trips to Kennedy Space Center in Cocoa Beach and Johnson Space Center in Houston, where his team recorded space shuttle launches and landings that have been characterized as “the most accurate ever made.”
The indefatigable Davis still travels the country on behalf of AGR but prefers to spend his time on his 150-acre farm outside Omaha. He has three children.
Davis determinedly carries on each day with the original spirit of creative drive and invention that first inspired him. “There wasn’t any business plan when I started American Gramaphone,” he says. “There wasn’t any target I was looking at. It’s always been about just moving forward and doing things I like to do.”

Opening the night will be fellow musician Quincy Mumford, promising an evening of immersive storytelling and richly textured Americana music.

Tim Easton has long been celebrated for his unique blend of folk, blues, and rock & roll—a musical style often described as Americana. His songs carry the weight of confessional storytelling, painting vivid portraits of ordinary lives and the landscapes he has traversed. Critics and fans alike praise his “workingman’s folk” style, marked by deeply personal lyrics, melodic intricacy, and an authenticity that reflects decades of experience on the road.

Born in upstate New York and raised in diverse locales including Tokyo, Japan, and Akron, Ohio, Easton’s formative years set the stage for a career defined by curiosity and wanderlust.

This early exposure to international audiences shaped the breadth of his sound and his approach to storytelling through song.

Easton’s career highlights include signing with EMI Publishing in 1999 and New West Records shortly after. His 2001 album, The Truth About Us, featured three-fourths of the acclaimed band Wilco as his backing ensemble. Over the years, he has toured extensively alongside musical mentors such as Lucinda Williams and John Hiatt, further refining his signature sound. With over a dozen solo studio albums to his name, including 2024’s Find Your Way, Easton continues to demonstrate both prolific output and artistic evolution. Beyond music, he is a published poet, essayist, and songwriting teacher, providing insight and guidance to aspiring musicians around the world.

Now based in Nashville, Tennessee, Easton maintains a robust online presence and engages directly with fans through platforms like Patreon, where he releases a new song each month. His Ocean Grove performance offers New Jersey audiences an intimate chance to experience his signature blend of Americana storytelling live, connecting lyrics, guitar, and life experience in ways that resonate long after the final note.
