MARTHA WAINWRIGHT TO RELEASE CD WHATS DOES RUFUS SAY?
I KNOW YOU’RE MARRIED BUT I’VE GOT FEELINGS TOO
JUNE 10 ON ZOË/ROUNDER RECORDS
On June 10, Martha Wainwright will release I Know You’re Married But I’ve Got Feelings Too (Zoë/Rounder), the follow up to her critically lauded eponymous debut album. On her sophomore release, she strikes a perfect balance between intense passion and understatement. The album’s lyrics effortlessly juxtapose symbolism and dreaminess with literal straightforwardness.
Wainwright is one of the most respected artists in music today, so it’s no surprise that some of the biggest names in music leapt at the chance to work on I Know You’re Married But I’ve Got Feelings Too. Pete Townshend, the Band’s Garth Hudson, and Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen make appearances on the album as well as members of Martha’s uber-talented family, including brother Rufus, mother Kate McGarrigle, aunt Anna McGarrigle, and first cousin Lily Lanken. The 14 song album has 12 originals plus unique takes on the early Pink Floyd classic "See Emily Play" and the Eurythmics "Love is A Stranger."
The daughter of folk singers Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, Martha has spent her entire life surrounded by music. In addition to touring with Snow Patrol, Stephen Malmus, Gomez, Neko Case, and The Swell Season, she has also recorded and toured extensively with family members, most notably with her brother Rufus. Barry Walters in Rolling Stone wrote, "If you think Rufus Wainwright possesses an uncommonly expressive voice, check out his sister."
After a few independent EP’s Martha released her first full length album, Martha Wainwright (Zoë/Rounder) in 2005, to rave reviews. With Q Magazine writing, "Her voice is a thing of wonder," Mojo added "This is special, many-layered stuff."
I Know You’re Married But I’ve Got Feelings Too is even more special, and shows that Martha Wainwright-singer, songwriter, unique artist, has arrived.

e man who added the catchphrases "Git-R-Done" and "Lord, I Apologize" to the American lexicon is coming to the John Labatt Centre in London on April 17th!!. Dan Whitney, known better as Larry The Cable Guy, has proven to be one of America’s most successful comics.
Larry’s one-liner filled act soon caught word-of-mouth fire in the Southern United States and brought him to the attention of mainstream audiences on television. Appearances on Evening at The Improv and Comic Strip Live increased his fan base past rural America, but it was on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Show on radio that Larry got the most exposure. His success with radio continued when he became a regular on Jeff Foxworthy’s Country Countdown Show.
Don’t miss Larry The Cable Guy’s hilarious backwoods observations and insights when he takes the stage at the John Labatt Centre in London on April 17th!!

Eric Clapton’s career has endured for more than 40 years, resulting in 18 Grammy Awards and he has earned the distinct honor of being the only triple inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Considered one of the world’s finest guitarists, Clapton was a member of such seminal rock bands as Cream and Blind Faith. Clapton also created countless hits as part of his solo career beginning in 1970 with the release of the self-titled Eric Clapton album following through to 2005’s Back Home.
After a busy year filled with a world tour, an epic guitar festival and a highly-anticipated autobiography, Eric Clapton recently released the ultimate career CD retrospective for the artist known as “Slowhand.” Complete Clapton is a 2-disc career-spanning album released by Reprise Records in stores now, arriving at the same time as Clapton, The Autobiography in bookstores nationwide. This is the first time the full breadth of Clapton’s musical works is contained in one set. Complete Clapton also features songs from two co-produced albums, Riding With the King, a collaboration with iconic blues man BB King, and The Road To Escondido, a partnership with long time friend and guitar great J.J. Cale.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND LAUNCH 2008 TOUR TONIGHT

SONY BMG MUSIC (CANADA) INC.
Press Release
Date: 02/28/2008
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND LAUNCH 2008 TOUR TONIGHT
February 28, 2008-Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band tonight will launch their 2008 tour in Hartford, CT at the HCC Arena, kicking off 55 tour dates that will span North America and Europe. Tour video highlights will be posted on brucespringsteen.net.
Check out this morning’s USA Today for a great interview feature on Springsteen: http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2008-02-27-springsteen_N.htm?loc=int
Their 2007 tour was met with rapturous critical response and rapid sell-outs. The Washington Post proclaimed, "Springsteen and his longtime band were simply great, performing a well-considered set with heightened intensity and a very clear sense of purpose… Springsteen remains one of the most potent live performers in popular music — largely because he’s among the most committed practitioners of the form, draining all of his creative energy every time he’s onstage."
Bruce Springsteen’s twenty-third album ‘Magic’ was released October 2 on Columbia Records and debuted at number one on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums Chart. Rolling Stone awarded the album five stars, saying, "A firm beat, some Telecaster sting and the robust peal of Clarence Clemons’ saxophone can still tell you more about the human condition than a thousand op-ed words."
‘Magic’ has been certified triple Platinum in Norway; double Platinum in Ireland and Sweden; Platinum in the United States, Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy, Spain, and Canada; and Gold in the UK, Austria, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. On February 10, Springsteen won GRAMMY Awards for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance and for Best Rock Song for "Radio Nowhere."
Columbia Records recently released a digital bundle of the "Girls In Their Summer Clothes" single, including the "Girls In Their Summer Clothes" video directed by Mark Pellington ("Lonesome Day," Pearl Jam’s "Jeremy").

It has been over twenty years since The Proclaimers made their legendary debut on the UK popular music program ‘The Tube,’ performing the classic song “Letters From America.” Back then the charts were dominated by the likes of Rick Astley and Sinita and the response to Craig and Charles Reid, two impassioned brothers from singing their hearts out in their own accents about serious political issues was extraordinary. It was the beginning of a phenomenon.
Within a month they were signed to Chrysalis Records and recording their debut album nine days later This Is The Story was finished. Another six weeks and it was in the shops. By December “Letter From America” was Number 3 in the UK singles chart and the album went Gold. A year of constant touring to sold-out crowds and an album of electrifying acoustic energy had paid off. A song about Scotland, its emigration, politics, industrial closures and the Highland clearances had reached the top of the pop charts.
Fast Forward to 2008, after releasing six studio albums, The Proclaimers are still riding the wave of success after twenty years and despite the lack of presence on the airwaves, they never did go far. They have provided crucial songs for soundtracks like ‘Shrek’ and headlined tours in the UK and North America proving they are still among the most dynamic and energetic live acts in the world.
Be sure to catch The Proclaimers perform to an intimate crowd at The Mod Club on April 17th!

His most recent release - his 3rd solo recording – Hospital Music debuted at #1 on the Soundscan Chart in Canada, took the #1 spots for Alternative Album and Digital Album and just received a Juno Award nomination for Rock Record of the Year. The latest single "I’m a Window" sits in the Top 10 at radio, following the chart topping "Born Losers".
Matthew’s return to Canada in May, comes hot off a tour in the US where Hospital Music made some exceptional noise the week of its release. The album reached #17 at the iTunes USA store after “Born Losers” was downloaded more than 340,000 times while featured as the free download of the week. No small feat for an artist without a label in the US.
For more than a decade, Matthew Good has produced exceptional music that has grown and diversified as he has himself. Further, he has championed his beliefs by using what influence he has to speak out for human rights, true democratic freedoms, and equality for all people.
