Denton, TX – Centro-matic will release Candidate Waltz on June 21, 2011. Candidate Waltz is Centro-matic’s tenth release and was recorded and produced by Scott Solter (Spoon, Mountain Goats) and Matt Pence at the Echo Lab in Argyle, Texas. The band will be self-releasing the record with marketing and distribution provided by Thirty Tigers/RED.
Will Johnson (songwriter, singer, multi-instrumentalist) and his compatriots—Scott Danbom (keyboards, violin, harmonies) Matt Pence (drummer, producer), Mark Hedman (bass, guitar)—have been making music together for fifteen years.
Johnson started writing these songs back in August 2009 but took a break to play drums with Monsters of Folk. They’d return to the record in 2010. The distance did them some good; the songs told the boys to back off, give them some breathing room. They’ve made what Johnson calls the band’s “meat-and-potatoes pop record.” Johnson goes on to say “it’s a peeled back” album with “new approaches and ideas.” Fifteen years later, Candidate Waltz manages to sounds like some young band’s debut—its exuberance is infectious; its vigor, visceral.
Centro-matic will kick off the first leg of their tour on June 22nd in Nashville and end in Austin on July 9th. Sarah Jaffe will open this leg of the tour.

More Woman Who Rock - Kelley Hunt and Amy Black
, was recorded in Nashville; but that is the only semblance to modern day Nashville. There's New Orleans R&B, piano boogie, rockabilly, gospel; but most of all powerful songwriting and equally powerful and beautiful voice. If you want a more complex Marcia Ball or Deanna Bogart, then Hunt's your woman. This complexity erupts out of the gate with the funky Too Much History. She transitions to gospel in These are the Days and powerful songwriting in Music Was the Thread. And yet my favorite may be the R&B themed Deep Old Love or the boogie Shake it off Right Away. There's a lot of variety here; enough to interest anyone with a love for blues, R&B, piano, or pure songwriting.

JETHRO TULL Celebrates AQUALUNG's 40th Anniversary With A North American Tour
The group features longtime members Ian Anderson (flute, vocals, acoustic guitar) and Martin Barre (guitars), Doane Perry (drums), as well as David Goodier (bass) and pianist John O'Hara. The latter two joined in 2006 after working with Ian on some of his solo projects.
The group will be performing the Aqualung album in its entirety plus a range of their other favorites from the lat 42 years. Critics dubbed AQUALUNG “a concept album,” particularly for Ian's critical, skeptical views of organized religion, mostly on side B ("My God," "Hymn 43"). Anderson has disputed - almost resented - the assessment seeing the record as "just a bunch of songs." This led the band to give the critics a full-blown concept album with the following studio release THICK AS A BRICK which topped the Billboard charts in 1972.
On AQUALUNG, the group explores the struggles of the less fortunate in our society (e.g., "Aqualung," "Cross-Eyed Mary," "Up to Me"). Teenage angst and formal education difficulties (e.g., "Wind Up") are explored, and Ian returns to his parental themes with "Cheap Day Return," a tune encompassing Anderson's feelings while traveling North on the train to visit his sick father. "Locomotive Breath" touches on the issues of globalization, population expansion and runaway economics. Sound familiar?
Formed in 1968, Jethro Tull released its first album THIS WAS late in that year and followed up in 1969 with STAND UP. In the 1970s, the group was one of the most successful live performing acts on the world stage, rivaling Zeppelin, Elton John and even the Rolling Stones. Surprising, really, for a group whose more sophisticated and evolved stylistic extravagance was far from the Pop and Rock norm of that era.
With now some 30-odd albums to their credit and sales totaling more than 50 million, the apparently un-commercial Tull continues to perform over a 100 concerts per year with its rich variety and depth of expression, wherever fans, young and old, want to hear Rock, Folk, Jazz and Classical-inspired music. Music for boys in long trousers and girls with brains.
In 2011, Tull will tour in Australia, Ireland, and Germany. And Ian will perform solo shows in Germany, Spain, Cyprus, Turkey, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Panama, Mexico, Czech Republic, the UK, Sweden, Denmark and Finland finishing with his customary charity Christmas concerts at three UK cathedrals.
In 2006, Ian was awarded a Doctorate in Literature from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, the Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement in Music and, in the New Years Honours List 2008, an MBE for services to music. In 2012, he expects to be awarded the Smithsonian Medal of Honor for smelling OK for someone his age and having ears still in proportion to the rest of his head. His bladder remains elastic and his prostate the size of a pinhead.

Help Kickstart a CD - A Mortal Planet-CD Fundraising Campaign
Musicians are continually finding creative means as indie artists to finance the resources needed to record new music. Recording studio time is not cheap. The Greencards have their Buy a Brick program; others have used house concerts as pledges. Now through Kickstarter.com, musicians can create campaigns to raise the necessary funds in exchange for in-kind gifts from the artist. These may include concert tickets, CDs, posters, or even a house concert - in exchange for a set contribution. Our pal, Peyton Tochterman just released his A Mortal Planet-CD Fundraising Campaign. He hopes to raise $4,000 and is about a quarter of the way with a month remaining. Fellow Charlottesville musicians, Sons of Bill, are actually over their target - but there is still almost two weeks left for their campaign. Musicians do reach their goal; as evident by the Jamie Mclean Band and Caroline Herring. Support local music and take a look.

Jamie McLean Band - New EP and Videos
The band is releasing four EPs in 2011, though Kickstarter; where fans can contribute to the costs of the release. This evening was our first chance to hear tracks from the first release in the series as well as some old favorites. And favorites there are. Listening to tracks from their previous release, Completely made me reflect how good that CD is. Tons of great music. And from what we heard, the new set of releases will have the same stunning guitar, complementary rhythm section, and pure entertainment. Starting Tuesday of this week, we will be releasing a video a day at MyJoogTV to allow you to decide for yourself.
