MICHAEL J.
MEDIA: FEBRUARY 2010 NEWSLETTER AND CLIENT ROSTER Compilation CD’s of the entire MJM roster available to industry on request. Simply send us an e-mail! [ New Clients & New or Recent Releases ] The Villains self-titled (February 2, 2010) The eight tracks on The Villains’ debut are a look into the eyes and hearts of a band with real life stories to tell. From the breezy optimism of lead single “Let’s Forget About It Tonight” (currently impacting AAA radio) to the reflective musings of a band on the road in “Going Deaf For A Living,” The Villains weave a seamless backdrop of rock, pop and country that speaks to the soul, and is fun and reflective as well. www.thevillainsband.com
Jason & The Scorchers:
Halcyon Times
(February 23, 2010) This legendary Nashville based band won the
Lifetime Achievement Award at the Americana Music Conference in 2008,
and this is the group’s first album of new material since 1996.
Featuring the blistering guitar work of Warner E. Hodges, and the band’s
best songwriting to date,
Halcyon Times
is a true career record.
www.jasonandthescorchers.com Reagan Brown: Daydreams in Stereo (February 23, 2010) Singer/songwriter/rock artist Reagan Browne has drawn comparisons vocally to Steve Perry, Chris Daughtry and Sammy Hagar, and in addition to a booming voice that fans always come away noticing, Browne has also developed into a fine songwriter and guitarist. Each of those skills are front and center on Browne’s new album. www.reaganbrowne.com Fight the Quiet: Let Me In (March 2, 2010) Flagstaff based rock band Fight The Quiet is back with their third album, Let Me In, a set of brand new songs that showcase the group’s knack for soaring melodies and riveting hooks, as well as the heart of a young band with unlimited potential. www.myspace.com/fightthequiet Matthew Shwachman Band: Are You Prepared (March 23, 2010): For Matt Shwachman, his search for melody, for motion, and for fulfillment of the mind has been forged by an acoustic guitar driven-blend of pop/rock which Skope Magazine states, “would impress fans of artists such as John Mayer, Tom Petty and Jason Mraz.” Are You Prepared is the follow up to 2008’s Uncharted Territory. www.mattshwachman.com Howard Jennings: Ready To Listen: Young singer/songwriter Howard Jennings has been compared to Jack Johnson, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Dave Matthews and Bob Dylan. Those are huge shoes to fill, but Jennings does it admirably on his latest. www.howardjenningsmusic.com Megan Burtt: It Ain’t Love. Denver based Megan Burtt is back with another rocking set of tracks. Burtt’s songwriting style and sound encompass several genres, including folk, blues, roots, rock and pop—think Americana tinged classic rock in the vein of Bonnie Raitt and Eric Clapton with a touch of Delta blues thrown in. www.meganburtt.com John Milstead: Sides of the Soul. Heavily influenced by Sam Cooke and Don Henley, John Milstead's debut album, Sides of the Soul, is a blend of acoustic and soul. Born in Tupelo, MS, John grew up around soul and gospel music--- always adding a twist of classic soul to his melodies. www.myspace.com/johnmilsteadmusic Rebecca Rippy North Carolina based Americana artist returns with Telling Stories. It is her most personal recording to date, a compelling collection of songs which resonate with everyday life and the trials of walking the sod of this earth, all the while inhaling the joys, sorrows, disappointments and gentle graces that shape our paths. www.myspace.com/rebeccarippy The Mary Dream: This Kind of Life Nashville based alt-pop rock duo have always had the ability to write and record their own music in a home studio. But three years after the release of their critically acclaimed debut, Beautiful World, the group has taken things to a much higher DIY level on their new album. www.themarydream.com A Clever Con: Standing out in a crowded music scene today is a daunting task, especially if you are a rock band from New Jersey, one that everyone has trouble describing. A Clever Con (ACC), though, is a group that is having fun making some interesting music and just hoping that everything will fall neatly into place. www.myspace.com/aclevercon[ In The Studio ] Ludo: Ludo is currently tracking with producer Matt Wallace in Los Angeles for their 2010 Island Records sophomore effort and the follow up to 2008’s You’re Awful, I Love You. Wallace produced the Island debut and also has worked with Maroon 5 and Faith No More. The band recently re-released their out-of-print 2003 self-titled debut and 2005 rock opera follow-up, Broken Bride, currently available via the band’s own label, Redbird Records & Touring. www.myspace.com/ludorock Three Miles Out: Hard-edged pop/rock band continues to tour regionally in support of Nobody and the boys are currently working on a new acoustic album. www.threemilesout.com

Their biggest hits, still crowd favorites, are “Amie” and “Let Me Love You Tonight.” www.pureprairieleague.com Eclectica: Not just another funk/world/rock/jazz/classical ensemble, Eclectica is a virtuoso groove event. This genre-defying band features the 5 time Grammy Award–winning drumming of Roy “Futureman” Wooten of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, and electric violin virtuoso Tracy Silverman, heralded by the BBC as “the greatest living exponent of the electric violin.” Bass legend Steve Forrest completes the ensemble. The group embarks on a nationwide tour later this month. www.eclecticatheband.com Red Wanting Blue: Ohio road warriors continue to tour in support of their latest album, These Magnificent Miles, and is venturing into some new states and new markets across the nation beginning this month. www.myspace.com/redwantingblue Tim Mahoney: Tim Mahoney has been making quite a name for himself over the last several years as a performing artist in and around the state of Minnesota and is living proof that great music always speaks volumes, ultimately determining what the listening public wants to hear www.timmahoney.com Chris Knight: Like its predecessor, the twelve songs on Knight’s latest, Trailer II, were recorded in the summer of 1996 inside of Knight’s sweltering singlewide in a field just outside of Slaughters, Kentucky (population 238, including Chris). www.chrisknight.net Farmer Jason Farmer Jason, also known around the world as Jason Ringenberg from acclaimed punk/rock/country band Jason & The Scorchers, recently earned his second Emmy nomination for Best Children’s Program Mid South Region. Farmer Jason earned his first Emmy award last year for some of the videos that appeared on Nashville Public Television and other PBS stations as interstitials airing between their full length shows and he continues to tour nationally. www.farmerjason.com The Iveys: s/t. Along with a melodic pop style and just a bit of twang to show their Texas roots, the band’s self-titled debut album is a solid collection of songs with heartfelt lyrics that transcend the trio’s youth. They are currently on the road again into the spring. www.theiveysmusic.com
