JOHN PAUL WHITE

Grammy Award winner John Paul White (not to be confused with John Paul Jones) released his new solo album The Hurting Kind today (April 12) via Single Lock Records. The new single, “I Wish I Could Write You A Song,” premiered via CMT in celebration of the release.
White will also be kicking off a 2019 US tour.
If you’re not familiar with his live show, we caught the singer at Basilica Block Party 2017 in July and wrote, “John Paul White (better known as formerly one-half of folk duo The Civil Wars) was next, White coming out first alone, commenting “If you’re wearing a suit, then you’re warm” in the late afternoon sun…. White’s quiet and mostly sad songs seemed a little out of place on a festival’s big outdoor stage next to a highway (“that’s a first”, he quipped), but for the patient and attentive, the dividends were abundant.”

NILS LOFGREN

Master rock singer-songwriter-guitarist Nils Lofgren is famous for being a member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, Crazy Horse, and frontman of Grin. Recently, it was announced that Lofgren will be releasing Blue With Lou, a dozen of collaborated songs with the great, late Lou Reed.
The story behind the album, according to Lofgren, is that the two wrote and worked on the music in Reed’s New York apartment. It laid to rest, until Reed called Lofgren up at 4:30am:
Of course, the song remained in their private collection, until after Reed’s death in 2013, Lofgren entertained the idea of putting those recording to an album. He says, “They got left by the wayside. Years went by, and it kept nagging at me. I thought, look, Lou’s not here to deliver these lyrics. He was inspired when he did this. It would be a shame not to share it.”
This May, Nils Lofgren will kick off a US tour in support of Blue With Lou:
May 11 Milwaukee, Wi Potawatomi Casino
May 12-13 Chicago, Il City Winery
May 15 Cincinnati, Oh Longworth-Anderson Series

SHIT GIRLFRIEND
twitter.com
The girls from Miss World (Natalie Chahal) and (Laura-Mary Carter) have formed the new band Shit Girlfriend.
Their latest single is called “Dress Like Cher”, available exclusively as a splatter vinyl for Record Store Day (via PNKSLM Recordings).
In related news, Chahal released her debut LP Keeping Up With Miss World, while Blood Red Shoes released their fifth album Get Tragic on their own Jazz Life label earlier this year. We’ve seen Blood Red Shoes a few times, and their last appearance in Oct 2018, we said, “Brighton’s Blood Red Shoes opened the show, the stage completely lit in a deep green (which remained unchanged throughout their entire set), possibly due to the fact that the artwork for their forthcoming 2019 album Get Tragic is also in the same green tone. They didn’t play any of those 2019 songs, it’s really not the time to start promoting those singles, but instead concentrated on their various hit singles.”
Blood Red Shoes’ tour dates:
25 April 2019 Botanique - Chapiteau, Brussels, Belgium
31 May 2019 – 01 June 2019 Way Back When 2019
08 June 2019 – 10 June 2019 Pinkpop Festival 2019
27 June 2019 – 30 June 2019 Festival Garorock 2019
25 July 2019 – 28 July 2019 Kendal Calling 2019
26 July 2019 Les Nuits Secretes, Aulnoye-Aymeries, France
26 July 2019 – 28 July 2019 Les Nuits Secrètes 2019 Aulnoye-Aymeries, France
