Christopher Cross : A Night In Paris live 2CD/DVD released March 8, 2013

ChristopherCrossANightInParis
After the release of the studio album “Doctor Faith“, Christopher Cross started one of his biggest tours in Europe in the last 15 years. “A Night In Paris” is the first live 2CD/DVD by Christopher Cross which was filmed at the notorious Theatre Le Trianon in Paris, France in April 2012. It will be released on March 8th, 2013 via earMUSIC.

While the previous tours showed a more acoustic (at times even jazzy) approach, Cross decided that for the ‘Doctor Faith’ tour he would go back to his musical roots and expanded his band to a more classical “rock line-up“: Andy Suzuki (keyboards, sax), Dave Beyer (drums), Chazz Frichtel (bass, vocals), Kiki Ebsen (keyboards, vocals), Richie Gajate Garcia (percussion) and famous sound engineer Ross Pallone (Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper, Elton John,...).

Filmed by 9 cameras in HD, the show captures Christopher Cross playing all his classic singles and new material from the album “Doctor Faith“.

The 90 minutes show is impeccable, the new material is fused beautifully with all the songs the audience is expecting. The wonderful theatre gives the concert a magical atmosphere. Songs like ‘Sailing’, ‘Ride Like The Wind’ and ‘Arthur’s Theme’, sound simply perfect placed beside the most recent songs like ‘Leave It To Me’ and ‘November’.

Cross recorded and toured regularly, while his back-catalogue and his anthologies never stopped being best sellers, and his songs always remained among the most played on the radio worldwide.

In 2011, Christopher Cross released the critically acclaimed record “Doctor Faith” – his first album with new material in 12 years. An incredibly powerful album, that kept Cross and his band busy with a long world tour where old classics were mixed perfectly with new compositions.

Tom Snow "Original Demos" featuring The Unforgettable Voice of Warren Wiebe.

Tomsnow
Nine years ago, Contante Y Sonante was born with the release of thirteen original demo recordings by songwriter extraordinaire Steve Dorff. Besides the undeniable quality of Dorff's songwriting, what made this album special was the appearance of the unforgettable Warren Wiebe, whose legacy unfortunately didn't include any solo projects, but left an immense collection of unreleased material.

Today, they are thrilled and proud to announce what for many might be considered a sequel to that release by Steve Dorff. It is truly a pleasure to present to you Tom Snow Original Demos (2013), a 12-song album by this world-class and critically acclaimed songwriter, again featuring the unique vocal work of the one and only Warren Wiebe.

Tom Snow is one of the most prolific and highly regarded songwriters of our time, having written hits for famous names like Peter Cetera, Linda Ronstadt, Cher, Melissa Manchester, Deniece Williams, The Pointer Sisters, Bonnie Raitt, Tina Turner, Dolly Parton, Olivia Newton-John and countless others.

Diamond Dawn "Overdrive"

DD-Overdrive
Frontiers Records will release DIAMOND DAWN‘s debut album,”Overdrive”, on February 22 in Europe and February 26 in North America.

Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, DIAMOND DAWN are easily one of the most promising melodic rock bands to come out of the Scandinavian underground scene. They came to the attention of the fans thanks to the digital release of the song ”Standing As One”, which created a very nice buzz. In a world where rock and roll seems to lack a certain positive nerve,DIAMOND DAWN stands for a vision of conveying energy and excitement through their pompous and melodic, yet hard-rocking songs.

”Our intention is to have a good time, and make people wanna have a good time,” says guitarist Olle Lindahl. ”We wanted to write some great music and release a rockin’ debut album; we definitely think that we managed to capture the positive energy that DIAMOND DAWN is all about. ‘Overdrive’ is the album that we would want to go out and buy and tell the world about.” He adds: ”We’re not doing what we do or sound like we do for the purpose of keeping something old alive. We’re a bunch of guys that love to play together and when we do, the sound and output comes naturally. Our music is very melodic and pompous rock with a strong positive nerve. Each band member comes from a different musical backg round and that is what definitely makes the sound what it is. There is no way to control that as long as you do what you feel like.”

DIAMOND DAWN‘s new single, ”Take Me Higher”, was released digitally on January 17.
