Art Of Dying Added to Rock On The Range with A Perfect Circle
Feb0109:59 AM
Art Of Dying has kicked things into overdrive in anticipation of Vices & Virtues, their upcoming new release on Intoxication/Reprise/Warner Records. Only a few days ago they announced their inclusion on the Avalanche Tour with Stone Sour, Theory Of A Deadman, Skillet, and Halestorm. That announcement was followed by an addition to Edgefest VII in Little Rock, Arkansas along with headliners Avenged Sevenfold.
And that brings us to this morning. Art Of Dying has just been added to a phenomenal line up at Rock On The Range in Columbus, Ohio with headliners A Perfect Circle, Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Korn, and many more. Check out the festival website for more information.
With "Die Trying" (on iTunes here) climbing the Active Rock Charts in North America, Art Of Dying are setting things up quite nicely for one hell of a rock n' roll ride in 2011.
Stay tuned to The Bleeder Blog for the latest breaking news from Art Of Dying, including the pending release date for Vices & Virtues.
ECMA Nominee Ross Neilsen to Celebrate CD Release with Acoustic Playhouse Performance
Feb0109:48 AM
Co-presented by 105.3 The Fox, The Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival, and The Fredericton Playhouse, this event will showcase Neilsen and his band in what Neilsen describes as “…a nice contrast to our blistering electric show.” Adds Neilsen, “...with me on acoustic guitar for the duration of the show, and with no screaming electric to hide behind, it will be an evening of storytelling that features tales of ‘where the songs come from’.”
Proving that hard work pays off, Neilsen was honoured with a nomination for Best New Artist at The Maple Blues Awards in 2010, two Rising Star awards from CBC, and just received his third Blues Recording of the Year nomination from the East Coast Music Association. Neilsen also won Best Blues Recording for Redemption, his last studio album, at the 2010 MusicNB awards.
“Ross Neilsen is a stellar hometown talent that we’ve watched develop into a formidable blues artist,” said the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival’s Music Director, Brent Staeben. “To think that it was only a few short years ago that he won our Galaxie Rising Star competition, and now he’s celebrating his sixth album release at The Playhouse, it’s a prime example of why the Festival is dedicated to showcasing local talent. We’re happy to continue our support for Ross by co-presenting this landmark show with 105.3 FM The Fox and The Fredericton Playhouse.”
Tickets for Ross Neilsen & The Sufferin’ Bastards’ CD Release Concert are on sale now at the Fredericton Playhouse box office 1-866-884-5800, or online at www.theplayhouse.ca.
Regular tickets - $20
Premium tickets - $28 (includes a copy of Ross Neilsen & The Sufferin’ Bastards: Live at the Acoustic Grill)
