The objective of StrummerJam is, as Steve Mullen campaign coordinator and digital media manager for the Joe Strummer Foundation says, “…about keeping the spirit and memory of Joe Strummer alive and to mobilize the troops to unite under a single banner and raise funds for their local music nonprofits. We wanted to unite local music scenes, connect the dots, put venues, bands and local music nonprofits on the map for all to discover and explore.”

All funds collected for each event will be reported by the organizers and added to the StrummerJam Funds Barometer on the StrummerJam website to demonstrate the total results of the collective efforts of all the organizers. The global target has been set at £15,000 GBP.

ABOUT JOHN PAUL WHITE

418457541273Single Lock Records will release John Paul White’s solo album Beulah on August 19.

The highly anticipated release is the former Civil Wars member’s first solo work in nearly a decade and was produced by Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes) and White, and recorded in Muscle Shoals at the renowned FAME Studios and at White’s own Single Lock Records.

Beulah—the title referring to a longtime family nickname and a reference to William Blake’s “place deep in the collective spiritual unconscious”—is a diverse collection of swampy southern rock, folk balladry and dark acoustic pop—songs that came unbidden to White, who wasn’t entirely welcoming of them at the time. “Honestly, I tried to avoid them, but then I realized the only way I was going to get rid of them was if I wrote them down. I got my phone out and I’d sing these little bits of melody, then put it away and move on. Eventually I got to a place where it was a roar in my head, and that pissed me off. Then one day I told my wife, ‘I think I’m going to go write a song.’ She was as surprised as I was. I went and wrote probably eight songs in three days. It was like turning on a faucet.”

MARISSA NADLER SOLO LIVE AT THE RECORD EXCHANGE THURSDAY, JULY 7

July 6, 2016 - Live Shows , Live@RX , The Record Exchange Blog - by - No Comments

artists-marissanadler2016_largeMarissa Nadler will perform a special solo set live at The Record Exchange (1105 W. Idaho St.) at 12:30pm Thursday, July 7. Nadler is performing with her full band at Neurolux on Wednesday, July 6 and we have tickets for sale at the store. As always, this Record Exchange in-store event is free and all ages.

ABOUT MARISSA NADLER

sbr148-marissanadler-300_1024x1024For more than 12 years, Marissa Nadler has perfected her own take on the exquisitely sculpted gothic American songform. On her seventh full-length, Strangers, she has shed any self-imposed restrictions her earlier albums adhered to, stepped through a looking glass, and created a truly monumental work.

In the two years since 2014’s elegiac, autobiographical July, Nadler has reconciled the heartbreak so often a catalyst for her songwriting. Turning her writing to more universal themes, Nadler dives deep into a surreal, apocalyptic dreamscape. Her lyrics touch upon the loneliness and despair of the characters that inhabit them. These muses are primal, fractured, disillusioned, delicate, and alone. They are the unified voice of this record, the titular “strangers.”
