The Time Jumpers were founded in 1998 as a group of Nashville studio musicians who enjoyed jamming together. When country star Vince Gill joined in 2010, they started performing regularly Monday nights at Station Inn before outgrowing that venue and moving to 3rd & Lindsley.

Reba McEntire, Bonnie Raitt and Norah Jones often drop by to join this 10-man ensemble, making it a staple in Nashville. But their musicianship truly sets them apart as one of its own kind.

Western Swing

Western Swing quickly flourished during the 1930s from its roots in Frontier fiddle and cowboy culture, merging with turn of the century Ragtime, Plantation Blues, African American music such as boogie-woogie and Dixieland jazz; Nashville country music followed shortly thereafter followed by bee bop, Rockabilly and Rock and Roll were influenced by Western Swing.

Time Jumpers was founded in 1998 as an assembly of Nashville’s studio musicians. They quickly earned a weekly gig at Station Inn club on Monday nights before quickly outgrowing this venue and moving onto 3rd and Lindsley once their crowds became too large for it.

Grammy Award winner Vince Gill (vocals, acoustic rhythm guitar), Paul Franklin (steel guitar), “Ranger Doug” Green (upright bass), Brad Albin (bass guitar) and Kenny Sears (fiddles) comprise their current six-piece lineup. Recently they released the album Kid Sister as a memorial to Dawn Sears who passed away in 2014. Tonight at Wright-Patt they’ll bring their unique brand of Western Swing music!

Country

The Time Jumpers band stands out from many country music acts by having 500 years of combined musical experience behind them, rather than depending on youth- or the illusion thereof- to perform. Their Monday night residency at Nashville bluegrass spot Station Inn (and later 3rd and Lindsley) became one of Nashville’s hottest tickets, drawing in fans from near and far alike.

Beginning in 1998 with an ever-evolving lineup of top studio musicians who shared an affinity for Western swing dance music, today the 10 members of this band — “Ranger Doug” Green on vocals and acoustic rhythm guitar, Paul Franklin on steel guitar, Brad Albin on upright bass, Larry Franklin on fiddle, Andy Reiss on electric guitar and Joe Spivey as fiddler/vocalist — are dedicated to keeping this genre alive for future generations.

Blues

Blues music expresses feelings of sadness or melancholy through songs that typically use 12-bar structures and specific scales to elicit emotions such as melancholy. Contrasting with dance music that celebrates success, blues songs instead linger with listeners to explore themes of sorrow and struggle – unlike their dance counterparts which celebrate pleasure and success with loud celebrations of pleasure and success. Blues songs typically use specific scales that invoke feelings like melancholy.

Monday nights at 3rd and Lindsley are an incredible musical destination, featuring veteran industry musicians like Vince Gill, “Ranger Doug” Green, Brad Albin, Joe Spivey, Jeff Taylor and Billy Thomas – not forgetting several up-and-comers such as Brad Albin.

Wendy Moten joins the band with an eclectic vocal style and promises to rock any venue they play together. This combination will undoubtedly turn heads and draw crowds of all kinds when performing together at venues.

Jazz

Jazz music combines elements from various other styles into one genre, becoming famous for its improvisational nature and use of different timbres, syncopated rhythms and polyphonic ensemble playing.

The Time Jumpers band consists of world-class musicians residing in Nashville who make their living as session pickers. They first met while practicing Western swing music while performing as back up musicians for other stars on stage at Grand Ole Opry dressing room rehearsals.

They first performed at the Station Inn before moving to Nashville’s 3rd and Lindsley. Tennessean writer Juli Thanki described them as one of Nashville’s hottest shows – it has even attracted celebrities such as Joe Walsh, Robert Plant, Reba McEntire and Norah Jones who often show up to sit or hang out with them!

Pop

Since 2000, music fans visiting Nashville have planned their itinerary around Monday nights at 3rd & Lindsley to witness The Time Jumpers: an ensemble of world class musicians renowned for showcasing Music City‘s rich tradition of pickers jamming after work is finished. Although normally paid their bills with studio sessions or touring gigs, once every week The Time Jumpers come together for an incredible western swing show that leans heavily toward country, sometimes with special guests such as Sheryl Crow, Mo Pitney, Reba McEntire Robert Plant Delbert McClinton Norah Jones Joe Walsh among many others!

NCD recently caught up with Ranger Doug Green and members of The Time Jumpers — Paul Franklin on steel guitar, Brad Albin on bass and Billy Thomas on drums — to discuss their new album Kid Sister in memory of Dawn Sears who passed away from lung cancer last year.

DannyLux Singer of Desert Hot Springs had long dreamed of opening for Coldplay on their Mexico tour and shared his experience with us.

Young musician from Palm Springs was set on his musical path when his father, a garbage collector, brought home an unwanted guitar found abandoned by someone.

Psychedelic Corridos

Psychedelic music made an impressive comeback to Latin America in 2021 with atmospheric masterpieces by Spain’s Unidad y Armonia, Brazil’s Glue Trip and Mexico’s Daniel Quien – not forgetting sad sierreno sensation DannyLux Singer from Palm Springs who embraced this genre with singles such as “Tristeza y Traicion” and “Dueno De Tu Amor.”

Emerging artist Anthony Gonzalez creates music that embodies both his Mexican and American heritage, with sound that alternates between joyful and heartrending. For instance, on his ‘Love/3’ EP he incorporates both psychedelic intros and traditional corrido chords to craft an emotive experience.

DannyLux has once again put his heart out there with his latest release ‘Perdido En Ti’. He meticulously details a relationship from its initial flirty phase through to its painful conclusion while weaving club-friendly beats, dancehall, reggae and psychedelic rock influences into an emotionally charged mix that transcends tumbado – for instance “Maldito Alcohol”, an emotional song wherein DannyLux sings about drowning his sorrows with alcohol.

Alternative Corridos

DannyLux draws upon traditional corrido narratives while updating them for modern listeners, producing soulful lyrics rich with storytelling about love and life, combined with his signature laidback requinto guitar playing style and chord choices – as evidenced by Armado in their breakthrough collaboration “Jugaste Y Sufri”.

As he begins a new chapter, this rising star attributes his success to divine timing. He was chosen as an opening act on Coldplay’s extended Mexican tour and now signed with Warner Music Latina.

Desert Hot Springs-born artist Brandon Vereen’s career continues to thrive as he makes his Coachella debut this year, joining artists like 2Deep and Jay Roxxx for a set. This festival that was so important in his childhood now serves as an affirmation.

Corrido Narratives

DannyLux (Danny Luxury), as the son of Mexican-American parents, has been exposed to various musical influences that have informed his musical style and sensibility. Applying these experiences, DannyLux is reinventing corridos with an alternative sierreno sound.

His genre-defying music reflects both his multi-cultural upbringing and vibrant Latin scene. From creating waves on TikTok to working with Eslabon Armado and opening for Coldplay, this musician is on an upward trajectory.

Young singer Abelardo Castro leads an emerging wave of musicians on both sides of the border who are reinventing corridos and sierreno music for an international audience. From using an abandoned guitar his father found at an auction to creating an eclectic album collection featuring everything from breakup songs (Jugaste y Sufri) to his signature psychedelic love songs (DLux), Abelardo has set himself apart as a rising talent redefining corridos and sierreno music with Perdido En Ti, his sophomore full length release that explores all stages of love.

Corrido Inspiration

DannyLux Singer began his musical journey when he was only seven years old in California. It all started when he discovered a second-hand guitar lying around after it had been abandoned by another. Soon thereafter he adopted it for himself and made it his signature sound; having grown up listening to traditional Mexican and classic American rock music, his melodies quickly found their way into our hearts.

TikTok recordings by DannyLux caught the attention of Pedro Tovar, lead singer of regional Mexican band Eslabon Armado. Tovar invited DannyLux to make his debut album with them in 2021 with their song “Jugaste y Sufri,” blending Eslabon Armado’s sierreno style and DannyLux’s soft rock into one song that earned them top billing on Billboard Latin Songwriter chart – even beating out reggaeton superstars Ozuna and Bad Bunny!

DannyLux has made waves within corrido’s new generation with two EPs and an album under his belt, and continues to prove his talent by reaching across cultural borders to reach new audiences of all demographics with his music.

Billy Idol, an iconic British rockstar who moved to New York City during the 1980s and quickly rose to become one of America’s most beloved entertainers with hits like White Wedding, Rebel Yell and Eyes Without A Face.

His music combines punk attitude with rock sonics for an irresistibly catchy combination. He has released multiple albums including his recent offering: The Roadside EP.

He was born in London

Billy Idol is one of the most iconic names in rock music, known for both his music and outrageous persona. His early success with Generation X helped propel him forward as an artist; Idol took this as an opportunity to mock his school instructor by coining “Idol.” Idol took this nickname literally, using it to build up his bad boy image.

After Generation X’s success, Idol moved to New York City and launched his solo career. Soon thereafter he became an anchor on MTV, providing camera-ready music that resonated with teenage audiences. Subsequent albums by Idol or collaborations with guitarist Steve Stevens cemented his place within pop music; both albums (Devil’s Playground in 2005 and Kings & Queens of the Underground in 2014) would cement this status further. Idol also featured prominently in films and TV shows such as Adam Sandler comedy The Wedding Singer (1998.).

He moved to New York City in the 1980s

Music playing from concert speakers, two Bills emerged. Billy Idol could be identified from his signature sneer which had turned into more of a smile; and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio from their roles as organizers of an effort to stop trucks and buses from idling for long.

William Michael Albert Broad (born Goring, Oxfordshire) had an ordinary upbringing. His father worked as a power tool salesman; while William regularly attended church services and school classes. However, music quickly became his obsession.

As one of MTV’s initial stars in the 1980s punk rock revolution, he rose quickly. His iconic style of bleached hair and snarling attitude gave him an instantly identifiable bad boy persona that resonated with rock fans. His 1993 album Cyberpunk was ahead of its time; its themes and direct-to-computer marketing strategy anticipated internet influence in music culture while its sound resonated with aggression, subtlety, rhythm, and romance.

He is a singer-songwriter

Billy Idol is an accomplished singer-songwriter known for writing songs for many different artists and appearing in several films and television shows. First coming to prominence as part of Generation X punk rock band, he has since established a successful solo career.

Idol’s talent at reading cultural trends made him the ideal frontman for MTV, which provided music video content. His macho personality and take-no-prisoners attitude ensured he would appear camera ready – making his music credible to viewers of MTV.

Billy Idol moved to New York City in the early ’80s and immersed himself in its vibrant cityscape, reveling in both its gritty charms and glamorous glamour. Beginning his decade in a modest apartment but ending it with multiple platinum albums and sold out tours is remarkable. Idol remains active today releasing an EP with Steve Stevens as well as performing at legendary Los Angeles venues like Roxy. While earlier performances reflected more hedonistic tendencies, his current shows exhibit musical maturity with charismatic reflection compared to earlier appearances that displayed more mature musical depth and charismatic reflection than before.

He has released a number of albums

Billy Idol’s career as a singer/songwriter has been one of great upheaval and volatility. After first becoming well-known through London punk band Generation X in 1976, which disbanded in 1981; Idol went on to establish a successful solo career, becoming one of the early adopters of music video technology.

With his mix of bad-boy good looks and post-punk attitude, Dancing with Myself became a favorite among viewers of MTV. Producing hits such as Dancing With Myself, White Wedding and Rebel Yell propelled him into global stardom.

However, his success began to decline during the 1990s as his younger rivals like Britney Spears began overshadowing him. Idol returned to recording with 2005’s Devil’s Playground album which saw his reunion with guitarist Steve Stevens; two years later came Greatest Hits followed by 2014’s Kings & Queens of the Underground album.

After his controversial departure from Immortal, Abbath went on to form his own solo act – his debut self-titled album is sure to draw much notice across metal circles. King ov Hell and Creature join Abbath for this debut effort that’s sure to turn heads in its release.

Vocally, he remains outstanding. His signature froggy screech and image-rich lyrics help set him apart.

The Outstrider

Abbath Band have released Outstrider as the follow up to their 2016 self-titled debut and it is a tighter, more well-rounded second album than their 2016 self-titled release. Fans of their riffage, robust pocket, black metal vocals croaked and screeched, as well as traditional metal-esque melodicism will find much to enjoy here while those looking for significant stylistic risks may be disappointed as Outstrider remains true to its riff heavy roots throughout.

Even with lineup changes since their initial debut album, Abbath still feels like a major presence on this recording; his voice carrying the album‘s themes with power and emotion. Ukri Suvilehto’s drumming is equally outstanding, adding urgency and extra hits without diluting their power or groove. Outstrider is an impressive album which will excite any death metal fan; from its opening build-up to an intense blast of death metal excellence on each song. Other highlights include tremolo picked riffs and double guitar harmony on “Hecate”, as well as galloping riffs in “Calm In Ire (Of Hurricane).” All in all, Outstrider is an outstanding release that should satisfy all fans of the genre.

Dread Reaver

Abbath’s demonic imagination runs wild through these songs like blood on steel. The band explodes out of the gates with Acid Haze, an explosive Black Metal extravaganza with scorching riffs provided by Ole and Mia’s bestial bass as well as Ukri’s infernal drumming.

Dread Reaver, the title track of Immortal’s music, is an epic metal anthem with some Motorhead influence in its chorus, yet also featuring Abbath’s classic metal influences that were ever present on Immortal. With such an intoxicating anthem for total metal mayhem.

Absent bassist Tom “King” Visnes’ departure due to differences between his beliefs and Abbath’s image, Dread Reaver cements Abbath as a top metal act. Abbath’s unique mix of blistering Speed Metal, traditional influences, and black metal creates its own sound while its unyielding force makes this album one of metal’s finest recordings.

At The Heart Of Winter

This album features some highly melodic riffs that will capture you with its catchiness and melodicism, while the clean guitars add an atmospheric tone that is commonplace among black metal songs. Overall, the entire record is fast-paced but precise guitar work separates it from amateur acts in its genre.

“Withstand the Fall of Time” perfectly illustrates the high quality of this album. With complex time signatures and a magnificent use of synthesizers, not to mention impressive drumming which gives this track its epic feel.

Immortal’s 1999 masterpiece Pure Holocaust was widely considered its pinnacle, though its release coincided with a period in black metal history when many bands began losing their direction and mystique. Sons of Northern Darkness was another great album from Immortal that year.

To War

Abbath Band from Bergen, Norway was formed following Abbath Doom Occulta (Olve Eikemo’s departure from Immortal guitarist-vocalist Abbath Doom Occulta). Devoted to modernising black metal’s traditional doom signifiers, this group mixes growling, gravel-toned vocals with vital, thrashing tempos and pulverising riffage for an emotional impactful soundscape. From 2015, when Abbath Doom Occulta had left Immortal guitarist-vocalist Abbath Doom Occulta had left this album unreleased since 2015 (Olve Eikemo left), this record marks their debut effort after Eikemo left.

Wynk Music now makes it possible for you to access To War and over 5000 other MP3 songs anywhere! Plus you can create and share playlists. Stay connected with Wynk for more music, movies & much more!

The tournament, an century-old competition between South American teams, will kick off June 20 in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of Major League Soccer club Atlanta United. The opening match will be played there with 71,000 seats available.

Lionel Messi has joined in this major debate over Brazil’s handling of the Covid crisis and threatened a boycott from his national team, so here is all you need to know.

Origins

Copa America dates back to 1916 when South American football clubs gathered together to form its governing body, first known as the South American Championship and later Campeonato Sudamericano de Futebol. Annual editions took place until 1918 was suspended due to flu outbreak; eventually returning in 1975 under its current moniker.

Since that time, the competition has undergone many alterations; most notably moving dates away from European summer tournaments to avoid clashing. Furthermore, CONMEBOL has explored different methods for structuring this tournament by inviting teams outside its 10 member federations memberships to enter and make up part of its structure.

Brazil are the reigning champions of this tournament, winning it six times overall and four times individually. Uruguay are close behind in success having claimed continental trophies on four separate occasions; more recently Chile emerged as an influential team claiming victory at 2015 tournament.

Format

Contrary to some major soccer tournaments, the Copa America comprises both group stage and knockout rounds. Each of its four groups comprises four teams that each face twice; then the top two finishers advance into quarterfinal matches which feature single elimination matches.

Semi-final and final matches that end in a tie after 90 minutes will proceed into extra time and, if still tied, a penalty shootout. This is because many of the tournament participants have club contracts that keep them busy elsewhere around the globe.

Argentina are pre-selected in Pot 1, alongside Mexico, hosts and reigning CONCACAF Nations League winners USA as well as Brazil – with Canada/T&T/Honduras/Costa Rica duelling it out for two spots to complete this group stage. Meanwhile the eight other Pots will be randomly drawn into one of four group stages.

Hosts

Copa America 2024 will see American cities such as Las Vegas, Arlington and Charlotte play host. The USMNT qualified by winning CONCACAF Nations League qualification; their placement could place them against Brazil or Argentina during group stage play.

Typically, the right to host Copa America rotates among CONMEBOL’s ten member federationss; Ecuador was initially scheduled to be on that rotation in 2024 but they pulled out due to economic and social concerns, leaving Colombia and Peru as alternatives. Both declined the offer while the US were eager to step in due to their prior experience hosting soccer’s biggest event and its associated revenue streams; furthermore they already boast some of the finest stadium infrastructure available worldwide with fans that renowned for rallying behind major events.

Finals

Copa America draws crowds every year as teams from across South America compete to claim continental glory, featuring some of the greatest names from world football as they vie for continental supremacy. Thanks to South America’s Joga Bonito philosophy and world footballers’ affinity for an entertaining match day experience, Copa America continues to draw the biggest names.

In 1916, the inaugural Copa America was held and was held every three to four years until 2007. Since 2007, however, it has been hosted every four years and saw Argentina claim victory after beating hosts Brazil 3-0 in its inaugural final – marking Argentina’s first major trophy win in 28 years and giving Lionel Messi his first senior international trophy sixteen years into his career.

Current Tournament Format The current format of this tournament allows four group winners to qualify automatically while runners-up compete against each other in a play-in round; should both of those wins occur, then they will join four quarter-final losers in the knockout stage. United States advanced through to this play-in round after beating Trinidad and Tobago by an aggregate score of 4-2; Canada, Costa Rica and Mexico will likely also join this pool of hopefuls.

Randy’s puppetry commentary on human absurdity is legendary, offering humorous yet pointed truths to audiences everywhere. For instance, Randy chronicled all the silly mistakes Ernest Hemingway made during his life – such as trying to read him when writing.

He frequently covers plagiarism as a topic of stand-up comedy and this often proves an engaging source of material for his performance.

He’s a puppet

Randy the purple puppet is widely considered one of Australia’s funniest comedians. Created by Heath McIvor and performing around the world regularly, Randy can often be found engaging audiences through observational humor that ranges from polemics, melancholia and existential issues while remaining humorous.

He possesses an acute sense of humor, managing to keep audiences in suspense for an extended period of time – almost making them forget that he’s just puppetry! Furthermore, his comic timing skills allow for even greater impactful performances.

Randy delivers solo shows that poke fun at modern culture and everyday life’s absurdities, while also serving as an accomplished writer who has garnered critical acclaim for his performances; one such show, Randy Writes a Novel was nominated for Edinburgh Comedy Festival‘s Best Show Award in 2015. Furthermore, Randy frequently collaborates with Sammy J, touring extensively as part of their duo act.

He’s a comedian

Heath McIvor is an Australian puppet comedian known for voicing and operating Randy Feltface on an international comedy circuit. Over eight solo stand-up shows, sold-out seasons in London and New York and multiple appearances at Montreal Just For Laughs festivals are his credentials as an entertainer.

He is widely recognized for his high-energy existential crisis humor and quick-witted, rapid arm movement. Additionally, he has collaborated with musical comedian Sammy J to produce various stage shows such as Ricketts Lane and Bin Night; more recently Modus Operandy debuted in Melbourne this year.

Sammy J often relies on him for making pointed observations about human foibles and absurdities, with often colorful language. Purple Privilege shows his more offensive side when he describes stomping on a cockroach that’s stuck in an empty coffee cup! In another show he admits his hypocrisy by calling his decision to give his date’s guinea pig an unexpected mercy kill as “hard choice for a vegan,” yet quickly confesses his love of eating fish and chips himself!

He’s a performer

He’s a writer

Randy Feltface is an Australian puppet comedian voiced and operated by Heath McIvor. He performs solo shows and tours internationally; additionally he has appeared on Australian television in both full length solo shows as well as Sammy J and Randy in Ricketts Lane series.

Randy Feltface took a throwback moment during a recent special. A fan had sent an email alerting him to how similar one of his older jokes was to one by George Carlin two years prior to Randy’s birth. While both bits may share similarity in tone and composition, neither are likely guilty of copying each other’s material directly.

This piece offers an intriguing examination of plagiarism in comedy, as well as the difficulties associated with trying to write new jokes while treading ground that many other comedians have already covered. Yet it is easy to see why Randy found this bit distressing, and how it might make him reconsider how he approaches his own work.

Peter Sagar, best known for playing guitar for Mac DeMarco and later the Homeshake Band, returns with another album released under their moniker Helium, this time taking on more sultry, dark sounds.

Former tour guitarist Andrew Weeden has transitioned away from his signature sound of droning guitar music for R&B with an infectious soundscape.

What is Homeshake Band?

Homeshake Band is the musical project of Peter Sagar, an Edmonton expat living in Montreal. Sagar toured as guitarist with Mac DeMarco before releasing two cassettes before debuting his LP “In the Shower”.

His style is known as bedroom pop and fits within the new trend of slacker lo-fi rock popular among Gen Z children. This genre often depicts struggles between freedom and isolation with lyrics often featuring references to smoking pot or being lazy as its focus.

Helium’s sound is groggy, with a beat that fits nicely for either an early Sunday morning haze or for drifting off to sleep. Additionally, its synthesizer sounds hint at space travel or cosmic explorations. On Helium, Sagar brought on Jerry Paper producer Lucas Nathan to help produce, which enabled him to switch up his previous digital production for more analog touches that initially attracted fans to his work.

Who are the members of Homeshake Band?

Peter Sagar of Edmonton now residing in Montreal has created Homeshake Band as his musical project. A former touring guitarist for Mac DeMarco, Peter has established a successful solo career by releasing subdued, indie compositions under his own moniker. After many years on tour and his latest release Under the Weather depicting depression and loneliness.

He can also be heard singing several tracks such as the melodic “Cash Is Money,” with its vocal distortion providing him a helium-like tone. Throughout the performance he makes frequent references to his relationship with his girlfriend as well as appreciation of simple pleasures like dinner or midnight snacks.

Homeshake Band, a new wave of Canadian indie rock that draws heavily from nineties slacker music, are set to play several Valentine’s Day shows this year – visit their website for more information! The songs by this indie group evoke feelings of laid-back romance and yearning for intimacy – making them extremely popular with millennials.

What is Homeshake Band’s style of music?

Homeshake is the stage name of Montreal-based musician Peter Sagar. After touring guitarist for Mac DeMarco for several years prior to deciding to pursue his own project in 2013, In the Shower became his debut release as Homeshake with heavy guitar riffs and an R&B influence that immediately made it identifiable as Homeshake.

With each album that Sagar released, his style gradually evolved from his familiar surf rock guitar sound into more dreamy R&B-influenced compositions. Helium expands on this aesthetic territory further, creating a relaxing yet contemplative listening experience reminiscent of sonic hygge.

Homeshake’s music may be more laid back than some of the newer Bedroom Pop artists who have come into prominence recently, yet still stands out within its genre. At live shows, his groovy guitar riffs and monotone, almost bored voice create a relaxing yet endearing ambiance for listeners – creating truly unforgettable shows!

What is Homeshake Band’s sound like?

Homeshake Band‘s music draws upon elements from indie rock and slacker rock genres. Peter Sagar embodies these genres through his falsetto singing voice and relaxed melodies; his stage presence engages fans and keeps them invested.

Peter stands out among lo-fi artists with his distinct sound. His signature synth consists of two square wave oscillators running through long filter modulation with low frequency cut and variable LFO vibrato settings for achieving his desired sound.

On his fourth album, Helium, Homeshake showcases an eclectic range of sounds and beats. Songs like “Fresh Air” combine alternative electronic sounds with everyday sounds such as wind rushing past windows or voices speaking in the background – creating a well-rounded album with great cohesion. He also employs different vocal styles for each song adding depth to the overall sound – while Homeshake provides soothing and relaxing sounds to help listeners relax.

Few husband and wife duos can match the musical compatibility of singer/guitarist SUSAN TEDESCHI and guitarist DEREK TRUCKS as musical partners than this pair, both steeped in blues tradition but drawing inspiration from various genres to produce albums that offer up a lush combination of rootsy rock ‘n’ roll music.
