SUMMARY:Eric Johnson- Texaphonic Tour 2025
DESCRIPTION:One of the most outstanding instrumentalists in rock over the past 40 years\, Texas guitarist Eric Johnson was already a legend before he recorded his first album. By the early 1980s\, many celebrated guitarists were singing the praises of this skinny kid from Austin with the mind-melting chops. Comparisons were made to such guitar heroes as Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix and when he joined the ‘70s Austin fusion band Electromagnets they were being hailed as “the Mahavishnu Orchestra of Texas”. With the release of his highly-anticipated 1986 solo debut album Tones\, the underground guitar legend finally emerged onto the scene fully-formed. It landed him on thecover of Guitar Player magazine\, which hailed the album as a “majestic debut”\, and earned him his first Grammy nomination for the song “Zap”. With the release of his follow up album\, 1990’s platinum-selling Ah Via Musicom\, which contained the Grammy Award winning song “Cliffs of Dover”\, Eric Johnson became a bona fide international guitar phenomenon. \nThe New Age Music Guide once opined that “Eric Johnson plays guitar the way Michelangelo painted ceilings: with a colorful vibrancy that’s more real than life” while Rolling Stone included him in their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of the 21st century. A dynamic singer as well as an incredibly gifted guitarist\, a pianist and a prolific songwriter\, Eric has been featured on the cover of countless guitar magazines around the world while also racking up critical accolades along the way. \nSince 1986 Eric has released seventeen albums\, in addition to albums with other artists such as Eclectic with jazz guitarist Mike Stern\, and the platinum-selling G3 Live with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Eric has received eight Grammy nominations along with numerous other recognitions\, awards and wins in various polls and magazines. Among Johnson’s many accolades are a GRAMMY award in 1992 for “Cliffs of Dover” as Best Rock Instrumental Performance\, lifetime induction into the Guitar Player Gallery of Greats\, and his listing among the “100 Greatest Guitarists of the 20th Century” by Musician magazine. In his hometown of Austin Texas\, a city full of guitarists\, the readers of the Austin Chronicle voted Eric Johnson the city’s “Best Electric Guitarist” and “Best Acoustic Guitarist” in their yearly poll year after year. They also named him “Electric Guitarist of the Decade” and one of the top five “Musicians of the Decade”. In February 2024 Eric was honored with induction into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Association Hall of Fame. \n2023 found Eric on his ‘Treasure Tour’\, 67 US dates that were split between a Spring and a Fall tour. In January and February 2024 Eric joined the ‘G3 Reunion Tour’ with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai\, and the resulting new live album from the tour will be released in January 2025. In August 2024 he heads out for a run of dates in the north and northeast including the Backroads Blues Festival in New York. In September and October 2024 Eric was a featured performer on the ‘Experience Hendrix 2024 Tour’\, crossing the country from Washington state to Florida\, and then rejoined in March and April 2025 for the ‘Experience Hendrix 2025 Tour’ throughout the east and northeast USA and Canada. \nOver the course of more than four decades\, Eric Johnson has been traveling on a prolific odyssey. Along the way\, his creations have cross-pollinated the various musical genres which include rock\, blues\, jazz\, fusion\, soul\, folk\, new-age\, classical\, and even country. Inevitably EJ says it best himself in sharing that regardless of the genre “It really boils down to the music and the song at the end of the day”\, he explains. “The most important thing for me is to grow musically and make a more expansive and meaningful artistic statement with every new project”.

SUMMARY:The Outlaws
DESCRIPTION:For The Outlaws\, it’s always been about the music. For more than 40 years\, the Southern Rock legends celebrated triumphs and endured tragedies to remain one of the most influential and best-loved bands of the genre. Today\, The Outlaws have returned with new music\, new focus\, and an uncompromising new mission: It’s about a band of brothers bound together by history\, harmony\, and the road. It’s about a group that respects its own legacy while refusing to be defined by it’s past. But most of all\, it’s about pride. \nIt’s About Pride was also the title of the band’s acclaimed 2012 album\, universally hailed as their victorious comeback. “Because The Outlaws had been out of the public eye for so long\, it was almost like starting over\,” explains founding singer / songwriter / guitarist Henry Paul. “But because of the band’s history\, we dig deeper\, write better\, perform stronger. Everything we do is to reinforce the notion that The Outlaws still matter\, and that Southern Rock will always matter. It’s a message we’re proud to bring into the 21st century.”

These compositions are of varying styles and colors\, ranging from rock to country to dance to funk to old 60’s songs.

Many of the final cuts on the album were demo-ed and re-recorded at least four times over a period of one and a half years\, undergoing massive changes each time.

SUMMARY:Ana Popovic & Coco Montoya
DESCRIPTION:The award-winning\, hard-touring\, guitar slinger blends smoking electric funk and slide guitar\, jazzy instrumentals and a tight blues groove with soulful\, feminine vocals. Add to the mix her incredible stage presence\, all of which makes her an irresistible force in the world of contemporary blues music. Her sound simply never stands still\, she’s pushing limits\, bending genres\, and reinventing her music and herself with each new record. \nNot surprisingly\, she can claim any number of notable accolades and achievements from the highest quarters of the music industry. She’s shown her commitment to celebrating her guitar-driven\, eclectic music style through consistent touring\, awards\, and recognition for the past 25 years. In the process\, she’s emerged as one of the most thoughtful\, dynamic\, and committed performers in modern songwriting and guitar. \nAna’s latest studio album\, Power\, released on May 5\, 2023\, on ArtisteXclusive Records\, brings those dynamics to the fore and\, in the process\, turns this set of songs into both a powerful and personal tale of survival through faith\, determination and tenacity. They were spawned from a decidedly tricky set of circumstances that tested Ana’s devotion to making music and her perseverance. \n‘Power’ symbolizes unity. Album cover art: two holding hands\, black and white\, is what this world needs. It’s the power\, and it’s the force that’s going to move this world forward. Without that power\, there wouldn’t have been so much remarkable music today\, ideas\, and reforms. And indeed\, not this record. This story is about friendship and embracing yourself with everything life throws at you. \nIf that all isn’t enough\, in 2023 she decided to take on an even bigger task: fronting her brand new\, genre-bending\, BIG BAND project ‘FANTASTAFUNK’ that showcases an excellent 11 piece band. Funk\, gospel & soul extravaganza! It’s available for booking in 2024 and guarantees an amazing performance on any of the leading music festivals! \n\nCalled ‘one helluva a guitar-player’ by Bruce Springsteen and nominated for seven Blues Music Awards\, Ana was added as the only female guitar-player to the 2014 -’18 all star Experience Hendrix lineup; a nationwide tour celebrating the music and legacy of Jimi Hendrix w/ Buddy Guy\, Eric Johnson\, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and many more world renown artists. \nShe appeared on the cover of Vintage Guitar and Guitar Player magazine. Her latest album POWER (2023) made it to #1 on the Billboards Blues Charts – THE list of best selling albums nationwide. Her albums ‘Can You Stand The Heat’ and ‘Unconditional’ where Pick-Of-The-Week by USA Today and featured on NPR Music. \nYou’ll find Popovic in a select group of excellent modern rock-blues guitar players. One reason could be the fact that she’s always willing to work a little harder and travel a little further to master her craft. Ana and her powerful band are tirelessly touring\, playing major blues\, jazz and rock festivals. She is endorsed by Fender\, D’Angelico\, Jim Dunlop and DR strings. She has shared headlining stages with B.B. King\, Joe Bonamassa\, Gary Clark Jr. and many others. When not on tour\, she resides in Los Angeles\, CA. \nCoco Montoya \nCoco Montoya is a self-taught\, left-handed blues guitar virtuoso and soul-stirring vocalist who began his musical journey as a drummer before becoming a protégé of blues icon Albert Collins. With guidance from both Collins and British legend John Mayall\, Montoya developed a unique and fiery style\, marked by raw passion and inventive guitar work. His solo career launched with the award-winning 1995 debut Gotta Mind To Travel\, and he’s since released a string of acclaimed albums\, including several with Alligator Records\, where he’s now returned for his latest and most personal work yet\, Writing On The Wall. \nProduced by Grammy-winner Tony Braunagel and featuring Montoya’s trusted touring band\, Writing On The Wall showcases emotionally charged songwriting\, masterful musicianship\, and heartfelt performances. The album includes original songs alongside powerful covers\, with guest appearances from Lee Roy Parnell and Ronnie Baker Brooks. Coco describes it as one of his best works\, driven by the chemistry and inspiration of his bandmates and a sense of artistic freedom. \nMontoya’s journey from bar gigs to international stages is a testament to his talent and perseverance. From drumming for Collins to filling the shoes of Clapton and Green in Mayall’s Bluesbreakers\, and now fronting his own high-energy shows\, he’s captivated audiences worldwide. With Writing On The Wall\, an ever-growing global fanbase\, and a packed touring schedule\, Coco Montoya continues to solidify his place as one of today’s most genuine and powerful voices in the blues.

SUMMARY:A Medium Gallery Show with Linda Shields\, The Jersey Shore Medium®
DESCRIPTION:At just eight years old\, Linda Shields discovered her gift\, which would later on turn into a lifelong career for herself. It wasn’t until she was pushed into it that she discovered what it was that she’d be doing for the rest of her life. Now\, 54 years later\, the Jersey Shore Medium is touring around the country and continues to be surrounded by spirits in her day-to-day work. \nEleven years ago\, Shields launched her career into becoming the Jersey Shore Medium. It all started in her early twenties when someone approached her with tarot cards. Little did she know she would never see that person again; however\, she would end up needing those cards again someday. \nIt became public for Shields in the summer of 1990 when she received a phone call to do a reading. Shields’ grandmother was also a psychic who taught her how to turn off and on her senses as well as understand them. \n“There has never been a time where I could not connect with someone\,” says Shields. “It’s the readings that when I can give closure or hope\, that’s what keeps me going.” \nShields is able to use the psychic senses of hearing (Clairaudience)\, tasting/smelling (Clairsentient)\, and physical feeling or being an Empath during a reading. She was never afraid of her spirits due to the fact that she was always surrounded by them. The Jersey Shore Medium admits that she favors Clairaudience because it’s like having a personal dialogue in her head. \n“I want to stay where I am. I like being the Jersey Shore Medium. I just want in the years to come to have the health to keep doing what I’m doing. As long as I have the energy and the blessings to do it\, I’ll do it as long as I can\,” Shields states. \nShields does shows around the tri-state area. In addition\, the Jersey Shore native is also the published author of Angel Inspirations for Serenity and Love\, Crystal Power\, and 12\,000 Dreams Interpreted. \nTo learn more about Linda Shields: The Jersey Shore Medium\, visit: https://www.thejerseyshoremedium.com/.
