 I am so bummed I won't be able to attend NAMM this year. 2018 will be the 1st year in ten that I won't be attending. This year I will be hosting at the Aspen X Games for ESPN. Tough job, but I am up for it, and yes someones got to do it. So ... this year I will be missing seeing Jackson Browne receive the Les Paul Innovation Award during the 33rd annual NAMM show in Anaheim, California. But I hope you don't miss this weekend at the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM). NAMM honors recipients for their high standards of excellence in the creative application of recording technology. Jackson Browne will receive his award at a ceremony on January 27th. Browne released his latest single "The Dreamers" in December, and kicked off his latest U.S. tour last week. Congratulations to Jackson Browne, this award is well deserved! I will surely miss doing the annual catch up with friends and colleagues... On the flip side let's hit the slopes... details coming soon at Aspen X Games! ~ Cyrene This year marks the 50th anniversary of Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant has recently discussed whether he sees himself recording with his former Led Zeppelin bandmate Jimmy Page again. During an interview with DJ Kyle Meredith on 91.9 WFPK, in Louisville. Plant said he had “no idea” whether the two would work together again. “It’s not even within my countenance to imagine it, really,” he said. When Meredith noted that fans still hold the band “dear in their hearts”, the singer responded: “Me too – nobody more than me. But I don’t want to do it a disservice either.” Robert Plant recently released his latest album with the Sensational Space Shifters, Carry Fire, and he’s about to embark on a North American tour in support of Carry Fire. The album includes a collaboration with The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde and he revealed that he and Alison Krauss have discussed a sequel to their Grammy-winning collaborative album, Raising Sand. However, last year, Jimmy Page teased “all manner of surprises” coming in 2018 to mark the band’s landmark anniversary. In an interview for the Academy Of Achievement at The Oxford Union, Page said the surviving members of the group would be celebrating the milestone in 2018. “There’ll be Led Zeppelin product coming out, for sure, that people haven’t heard, because I’m working on that,” he said. U2 is sure to get people talking about its new stop-motion and politically hard-hitting video for "Get Out of Your Own Way." The new clip for the second single off the band's album "Songs of Experience" references racism and religion, and shows a paper doll version of President Donald Trump looking out a window at a group of KKK members. Meanwhile, the Irish foursome is slated to begin their North American Experience And Innocence Tour on May 2nd in Tulsa, with multiple shows scheduled in Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia, among other cities. |
